My mum has been in the home since September 2018 and we have been really happy with the care she's had. If we've had a problem, we have spoken to a member of staff and it has been sorted, staff are all lovely, pleasant and polite and willing to help.
Mum was taken poorly over Christmas and since she's
been back at the home, everyone has been brilliant and supportive, doing regular checks on mum and keeping us informed on everything.

I very much enjoyed my time in Swanholme Court visiting a friend who lives here. The residents were all content and happy in their home. It is a beautiful place and has a positive, welcoming vibe. I would highly recommend this home to my family and friends. The staff were also very friendly and polite.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Under the previous owners the property was tired and the care for some a little patchy. However, the improvement is marked. The staff are wonderful, caring and always keep me informed about my Mothers health. She is clearly very well looked after - the atmosphere happy and positive. I am very confident
leaving my Mother, who suffers from advanced dementia, in their care. Visitors are made very welcome and the redecorating is great.

On arriving at the care home with my 94 year old mother we were greeted with smiles and friendliness and promptly asked if we would like a cup of tea, which we accepted. First impressions were how clean and tidy the home was with good security. The staff then showed Mum her room, which again, was tidy
and clean. The staff are very courteous and helping Mum is never a problem. Chief carers are very obliging and sort any problems promptly.

Review from Rowena D (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Swanholme Court has a very high standard of care within a super-clean, inviting, homely atmosphere; tastefully decorated.
My Father is the oldest resident there (96 years) as he was transferred quickly there from being very ill in hospital.
My Father is treated in the home as I would expect to be
cared for as his confidence and mental wellbeing have greatly improved.
The home is working on his mobility issues, and outside help on request with physiotherapy has been arranged as well.
Visitors are welcome anytime and I'm always able to discuss anything regarding my Father's care.
Dad has a smile again, which was lost before.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mother was a resident at Swanholme Court Care Home for just under a year until she died on 3.11.2017. Prior to that, she had been a resident there twice before on a respite care basis. As I had looked after her in her own home for about 10 years, it was a difficult decision for me to hand over her
care to somebody else, however, she had got to the stage where she needed around the clock care and I just could not provide that for her at her home any more on my own.
I knew from her times there before on a respite care basis that she would be very well looked after there by the staff. I knew that my mother was happy there because she never once asked me to take her home and if she had not been happy there she would. My mother also required a gluten-free diet as a registered Coeliac but this never seemed to be a problem. My mother got on well with all the other residents and staff. Finally, the staff were great with my mother and me and this continued after my mothers d

Review from Dennis N (Husband of Resident) published on 17 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at the care home were very caring to my wife during her final days. They had shown an interest in her previous working life and attempted to get my wife doing interesting tasks, such as cake making, table games etc. My wife's clothes were always clean and pressed and her personal hygiene well
maintained.
The extra cost of living there was more than repaid for by the care and attention shown to my wife.

After a short spell of respite mum became a permanent resident just over a year ago. All the staff are helpful, friendly, professional and very caring. The food is always of a high standard. There are regular activities and days out and the communal areas and garden are bright and welcoming.
We are
very happy with all aspects of Mum's care and really believe she couldn't be anywhere better.

It's a nice clean and very friendly home, I know mum needs a carers 24/7 which is sad. She loves going to the day centre when it's open, it's just a shame that the two buildings are not allowed to work together (meaning the day centre facilities).
The staff are great with her.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.878)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.878) out of 10 for Swanholme Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.878 for Swanholme Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (117 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.878
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Swanholme Court Care Home is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 27 registered maximum number of service users is 5.4, which has been reached with 11 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
