Review from Janet G (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The team at Swarthdale Nursing Home were absolutely brilliant with my mum, from a warm welcome to her beautiful, clean room, overlooking the garden, to when she sadly passed, nearly 8 weeks later. Their caring attention to her personal needs and thoughtfulness of her clothing and comfort was so good to see. We would have no hesitation recommending this home to anyone.

Reply from Neil Drummond, Manager at Swarthdale Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share them. it was a privilege to care for your mum and to be part of her journey over those weeks. we're so glad she felt comfortable and at peace in her room and that our team's care brought you reassurance during such a difficult...

We have been with Swarthdale Nursing Home for 8 months. I have found that there is nothing I can have problems with. From the top manager to staff, carers, nurses and cleaners, they are all brilliant, friendly and very helpful.

Review from Karen G (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 16 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Swarthdale is a fantastic place; caring and knowledgeable of my mother-in-law's needs. They have adapted their level of support as her needs have increased, providing the equipment required to keep her safe, comfortable, and happy. The staff keeps us well informed and up to date, asking for our permission as the level of care is altered.
The activities provided are extensive and whilst my mother-in-law is no longer able to access them due to advanced Alzheimer's, staff always ensure that she is included as far as possible.

There is a feeling of genuine warmth and affection from staff towards my mother-in-law. It is heartening for us to know that she is so well looked after and so well settled.
