The care given to my sister is first class, there is nothing to much trouble. My sister is well looked after and content. The food is excellent and good. My family and I are 100% happy with the care given.
Thank you for the review, we are very grateful to you in taking the time to complete the review and to post it. We all do our very best to ensure that we give the best care and attention to all our residents and I can confirm that I will pass this on to the team. Thank you once again.
My dad is a resident for 3 years and my experience is very supportive carers who make every effort to care for my dad and his needs. I visit most days and can see my dad needs are met. He isn't able to do anything for himself. Our feedback is always listened too and out wishes are followed through. Carers are always busy but nothing is too much trouble.
Thank you for your very kind review. It is very kind of you to take the time to review us. I will pass this onto the care team as they like to know of any feedback that reviews bring. Thank you very much once again.
Brilliant fun Christmas party including all residents and families. Staff are selfless and brilliant ensuring everyone joined in and had fun. Beautiful buffet enjoyed by all. We are always happy with the standard of care provided to mum. Staff treat her like she is one of their own and you can't asked for more than that.
Thank you very much for your very kind review. We try our best to ensure the safety and well being of every on of our residents and as you know my door is always open should you have any queries. Thank you once again and I will pass this onto the Care Team.

Thank you for the great review! We always appreciate families giving their time to complete these it means so much to the staff team.
Recent hospital admission also confirmed it wasn't safe for her to live alone with, minimal support.
The decision to move to Swinton Grange.
From the beginning, the manager met Mum at the hospital. Including my perspective.
Visited the home, staff rapport was amazing. Home from Home.
Involved in the transfer, Mum accepted the home. Worried about Christmas but was involved in all the activities.
In turn, the family are totally involved and offers support at a difficult time.
Thank you for your kind review. We are always grateful when families take the time to complete a review it means a lot to the whole team. We are happy that you are happy with our service. We always aim to provide a homely environment and high standard of care to ensure the well being of those in...
My husband was on end-of-life care and was only in Swinton Grange for 6 days. The care he received was second to none and all the staff looked after him and me brilliantly. Not a posh place but everyone was so helpful and caring.
Thank you for your review these are so important to the staff as this promotes the hard work they do and the great care they deliver. We are thankful you appreciated our service and wish you all the best in the future .
Communication between staff, and the nurses who work at the care home is fantastic.
In the last few days of our loved ones' stay here, the staff went above and beyond to support our family through a very difficult time, we are forever grateful to everyone at Swinton Grange.
Thank you for your kind words and support for the home and the staff team. All our families are very important to the team. We always aim to provide care and support to our residents and their families to the highest level possible and we all appreciate your comments Thank you so much!
Since my wife has been in Swinton Grange the overall experience has been excellent, the management through to the staff have gone out of their way to help my wife and me. My wife's dementia has hit a very trying stage for us all, the management have been in battle with the local mental health team to get the support my wife needs, they're just not listening to them, yet they keep trying. It will be a sad day if my loved one has to leave Swinton Grange. Yes it's an old building, yes it may creak a bit, yes the paint may be peeling off the odd old wooden window, but it's the love, care and dedication inside that matters.
Thank you for the lovely review. Our home has plenty of love and heart in it as you have stated, we are grateful for this. We will keep battling for your wife, you can be sure of this. I will pass on your comments to our care staff and thank you once again.
Was made to feel welcome by the staff. Security was first class. Care received is good.
Thank you for kind review. We will pass on your comments on to the care staff.
On arrival at the home, we have always been greeted with a smile and welcome. All the staff speak to you and offer a coffee or tea.
Thank you once again.
The staff are lovely; really caring and considerate to residents. My mum was transferred after a long stay in hospital and was a little unsettled at first. The staff treated her with dignity and respect and quickly made her feel comfortable and at home. They are very friendly when I visit and nothing is too much trouble for them. I would highly recommend Swinton Grange.
Many thanks for your kind review, I will pass this onto the care staff. We strive to ensure that our residents are well looked after and happy, and their well being is our utmost priority. Once again thank you.
All the staff are incredibly friendly and always helpful. They look after my nan incredibly well. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and they treat her with dignity and respect. All staff are an absolute credit to the care home. They always make sure she is well fed, offer drinks regularly, make sure she gets involved in the activities room, and just well cared for at all times.
Thank you for your kind review; your grandmother is a lovely lady and has settled in well. She gets on with the staff and other residents, and it is a pleasure to look after her. I will pass this on to the care staff. Thank you once again.
Mum has only been here three weeks, but so far, the care given has been excellent. The staff are so attentive to both my mum and our needs. Meals are nutritious and hearty, and I would have no hesitation in recommending this home.
Thank you very much for your kind review. Your mother has settled really well, and it is a privilege to look after her. She takes part in everything at the home, even the Bingo. Thank you very much once again; I will convey your compliments to the staff.
Lovely atmosphere, everyone very welcoming and helpful. Loved the activities provided. Loved the activities provided. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. The staff are all very friendly and hardworking. A great place.
Thank you very much for your kind review. I will pass your comments on to the staff.
The service has greatly improved with more activities and the place has an improved feel about it under the new manager. It is a far better environment now and my uncle is well settled.
Thank you for your very kind review. It is very kind of you to take the time to review us. I will pass this onto the care team as they like to know of any feedback that reviews bring. Thank you very much once again.
Having visited the home before my dad moved there, I found the staff to be really friendly and helpful, after visiting the home again after my dad had been there a couple of weeks, I was pleased to see how much happier he was than in his previous home. There are plenty of staff on duty and they take pride in their work.
Thank you for your very kind email. We aim to provide the best care for all our residents. I will pass your kind comment on to all the staff. Thank you once again.
I recently had my mum admitted with dementia and lung cancer. She went to this home in April for five weeks and they helped with her rehabilitation. Due to declining health problems we asked she be sent back there and the home couldn't do enough to make it happen. I would highly recommend this care home to anyone with family or loved ones who need round the clock attention. Thank you Swinton Grange for all you continue to do for my mum.
Thank you for your kind review. It is a pleasure for us to have your mother back with us. She certainly brightens the place up and all our staff think the world of her. We will do our best to look after her to the best that we can. Thank you once again and I will pass this onto the team.
My friend is very happy with the care he is getting, it is much better than what he was getting when he lived on his own and if he is happy so am I. The difference in his outlook is brilliant, he looks forward to getting up each day now.
Thank you for your kind review. I will let the care team know. We do try to do our best with the residents and are grateful for your comments.
Came to visit my grandad, he looks well, he’s safe and his his health has improved greatly due to the care and nursing he receives at this care home! Thankful for all the staff here well done everyone!
Thank you very much for your kind review. I will pass on your comments to the care team as they work very hard with our residents and any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Meet the Team (2)

I have been in the Care Industry for over 30 years and am well equipped with the skills required to be fully competent in meeting the care and wellbeing needs of our residents.
My experience began at home aged 14 having to look after my ill mother, after this I decided caring for others would be my vocation. I then went on to work in various Care Homes with Mental Health and challenging behaviours, which include EMI Dementia physical disabilities, learning disabilities, neurological and spinal disabilities. I have a wide range of experience in all areas having worked my way up from a Care Assistant to a Home Manager.
I hold a level 5 Diploma in leadership and management. I am trained in Non-Abusive Psychological Physical Interventions (N.A.P.P.I) which supports the staff team to implement positive strategies to manage residents who may present with challenging behaviours. I believe understanding our residents' limitations helps us to build on their strengths in order to make a positive contribution towards improving the quality of their daily lives.
As a staff team we believe one smile a day is worth every bit of the hard work the staff team here implements because it allows our resident to know that they matter.
We have developed a Dementia friendly home with tactile, sensory, visual prompts, picture aids and activities to enhance our residents communication and orientation thus ensuring our home is fit for purpose to meet the needs of the residents.
If you are looking for a permanent home from home for your loved one, please rest assured that they will be made to feel safe and comfortable in a friendly environment, treated with kindness with an emphasis that they matter.

It is a really challenging position and I love how every day is different, the residents are wonderful and it is my aim to help make a difference to their lives, even it is a small one.
