The care home itself is well presented, always clean and the staff are friendly, courteous and the upmost professional.
It’s safe to say I’m happy with my grandad's placement and know he is being cared for.
Thank you for your kind review. I will pass this on to the care team. We really appreciate this.
The care home is managed perfectly; I can’t find any faults. My auntie's room is always clean, tidy and well-maintained. The food is always first class, with plenty of choices.
I would recommend this home wholeheartedly and thank them for the care they are giving my aunt.
Thank you for your kind review. It is our priority to look after the residents and improve their quality of life while they are here at Swinton Grange. I will pass your comments on to the care team. Thank you once again.
My uncle lives in Swintongrange. The staff are amazing and very welcoming. The home is lovely and well-managed. The food is very good, and they always ask if we would like to eat with our family members. The home is dementia friendly, and they all do a great job all-round. The home is very clean, and nothing is to much trouble for the staff - they are truly amazing.
Thank you for your very kind review. We aim to make the home a happy place for our residents. I will pass this on to the care team.
I and my son and daughter-in-law visited Swinton Grange on the 6th of October to view the home and the room he was going to stay in. We were made very welcome by all members of staff. Then on the 17th of October was transferred to Swinton and when visiting him on the 20th of October there was a big change in him, he was happy in himself, my husband hadn't smiled at me for over a year and it was like a miracle had taken place in him. I can't say how grateful I am to all the staff for the wonderful change in him. I now know he will be cared for.
Thank you for your kind comments, I will let the team know. We do try our very best with our residents, and hopefully, this is beneficial to him. We all take very much pride in what we do. Thank you once again for choosing Swinton Grange.
All the staff are lovely and my aunt is so much happier there. The meals are delicious and my aunt is gaining weight. Every carer that I’ve met has been friendly, helpful and so upbeat and positive! Couldn’t be any better in my opinion.
Thank you for your positive comments. We do our best to make sure that the residents are settled and happy in our home. I will pass the comments on to the Care Team. Once again, thank you very much.
My husband has been in the care home for over a year and I can honestly say I could not fault the care that’s given to him. All the staff at the home are excellent and very caring. It is exceptionally clean and the food is second to none with a variable menu and well-presented. My husband suffered from having two strokes and needs 24/7 care and I couldn’t wish for a better team of caring people to look after him. I would highly recommend Swinton Grange Care Home.
Thank you very much for your kind review. It is our aim to ensure that all our residents are cared for with the utmost professionalism and with care and dignity. I will pass your comments onto the team and once again, thank you very much.
As my wife has only been a resident for a few weeks, we are still learning about the home. Our first visit, my son and I were shown around and shown my wife's room, since she moved we have found the staff, from management to everyone else, to be helpful, they always seem happy and will stop and have a chat with you. If you want anything it is seen to as soon as possible. The food is very good and everywhere is clean. There are activities we haven't caught up with yet, but we have seen a slight improvement in my wife so this will soon come. We are satisfied she is being well looked after.
Thank you very much for your kind review. We do our best to try and make our residents feel at home as much as we can. Our staff strive to make sure that their stay with us is as well as can be expected and more. I will pass on your comments to the staff at the home. Once again, thank you.
My father-in-law came here from the hospital. Can not put one fault in this place, and the staff are absolutely amazing with him. The staff are very welcoming, and I would recommend it to anyone that would be looking for a dementia care home.
Thank you very much for your review. We aim to do our best, and I will pass your comments on to the care staff team. Once again, thank you very much.
After falling and skinning her shins, resulting in two traumatic days in the hospital and a temporary care facility, Mom was taken in by Swinton Grange.
From the very first, the carers welcomed her in and were very careful in handling Mom; they very quickly organised 1 to 1 care around the clock and got Mom eating and drinking, with snacks and drinks between regular meals, all helping to build up Mom's strength again, this has slowly had a beneficial effect, and the turnaround for Mom has been incredible, the time, patience and dedication that all the carers that have shown and applied to Mom have been tremendous and there’s a smile on Mom's face again.
All the staff and management have been very forthcoming and straight with us, either in general information or in specific questions we’ve had.
This home provides the safety and quality of care that both residents and their families should expect.
Thank you very much for your review. Our aim is to ensure that we provide excellent care for your relatives and all our residents. Their well-being is our utmost priority. Thank you once again.
Mum has been at Swinton for over twelve months. The care given by staff is excellent, and they keep relatives informed regularly. We are really happy with the care and support offered by the team. Please pass on our thanks to the staff.
Thank you for your kind words; this is very much appreciated. I will share your kind comments with the staff team.
My grandad has been a resident here for eight months, and it has been amazing to watch what they have done with him - it is incredible - from not being able to walk to them having him walking with a small time frame. The whole hospitality side of it, from the clean room, clothes and food, is impeccable, and it’s always a pleasure to come to visit him.
Thank you for your kind comments. I will share your kind thoughts with the staff team. The team really appreciates positive feedback for all their hard work. Should you require to talk to us regarding your granddad, do not hesitate to contact us.
My mum has been at the Swinton Grange nursing home for the last 17 months and has become peaceful and happy during that time. The staff are well experienced in dementia care and have been helpful when asked. We are very grateful as a family to know she is safe and well cared for.
My grandad came to Swinton Grange Nursing Home two years ago during Covid, and even during difficult times with restrictions etc, the staff have been very accommodating and understanding and kept us well informed. My grandad is very happy in their care and is well looked after; there’s always staff around if we need to ask anything, who are very friendly and helpful.
Many thanks for your kind review. We do strive to make our residents feel as comfortable as possible and have their best interests at heart. Their happiness and well being is paramount to the team.
I have to say I visited my uncle today and was amazed at how well he looked. He suffers from vascular dementia, and it goes to show the care he is receiving. We had our visit in the activities room, and I was there to assist him with his lunch which was braised steak, vegetables, roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. It was well presented to him by the care assistant. The meal was that good; I wished I was having it myself. The home is spotless, and the domestics do a fantastic job; there is no odour on entry, not like the other home he was in. It is a sterling job the new manager has done to turn it around. Well done to all, and the staff are a credit to the group.
Thank you for your very kind review. We hope that we are doing a good job, and feel that this is being achieved due to your comments in your review. Should you wish to discuss your relative's care please feel free to contact us.
I visit each week and my friend seems very happy and shows no signs of distress or reluctance to be there and is treated with dignity and respect. He has improved in so many ways, physically and mentally since he has been a resident. He does comment regularly that the food is good and is always to be eager to have his dinner, which is his signal for me to exit until the next visit. The home seems to have got the balance right between keeping the residents safe, happy and well looked after and the wants and needs of visitors and relatives.
The activity room seems to be well used and to be able to interact with my friend there on a regular basis is a bonus for him and myself.
I am happy that, at last, my friend is being cared for in a quality home close to his friend and relatives. Well done to all the staff at Swinton Grange.
Thank you for your kind review, we aim to make all our residents as comfortable as possible and their health and well being is paramount to us all, as a team.
My mother has been a resident of the care home for the last nine years. She has severe dementia and, at times, has exhibited very demanding behaviour. The staff and management throughout the years have been fantastic with both my mum and me, and without their amazing support, I would not have gotten through this. They are very kind and gentle and have enormous amounts of compassion and understanding. The care and patience they show are to be recommended.
Our friend, who is a resident, is happy in the care home. We witness how caring, friendly and encouraging the staff were with him. We are always welcomed on our visits and I have nothing but admiration for all members of the staff.
Carry on the good work.
Thank you for your kind review. Our aim is to meet all our residents needs and ensure that person-centred care is given to them all. Hopefully we are achieving which proves that we are, as you have stated in your review.
My dad has been here for 5fivemonths now. He is well-settled and as happy as he can be. After stays in several different homes, we love Swinton Grange. Good clean facilities, friendly, patient staff and excellent communication between the home and ourselves. We have had a few small dramas and all have been dealt efficiently and with great kindness. Nothing seems to be too much trouble. Cannot wait for visiting restrictions to be relaxed.
All the workers at Swinton Grange, domestic staff, carers, nursing staff and management are at all times professional, friendly, supportive and approachable. They have all become my lifeline since my husband became a resident several months ago. His care has been exemplary in every aspect of his many needs. The home is bright, colourful, and beautifully kept with a lovely atmosphere. A pleasure always to visit.
My dad has been a resident here for well over six months. He is very settled. The staff and the facilities are amazing. If we have any questions, the staff are always happy to answer them regarding my dad's care. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and I would highly recommend this care home.

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.
