Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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 • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.358) out of 10 for Swarthdale Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 2 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 5.000 for Swarthdale Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 5
  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 3.358 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Swarthdale Nursing Home is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.6 = 0.233
  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.
