My mother was offered Swallows Meadow after a stay in hospital. I cannot speak highly enough of the care she received and how she improved to the point of being discharged home. The team on Robin worked so well together and, from a fear of going to a care home, to her feeling safe and cared for and actually happy to stay. Thanks to all the staff, you do such an important role which is very much appreciated.

Our 63 yr old sister was transferred into Swallows Meadow from hospital to Robins Unit, as a family we could not ault any of her care all staff were just amazing, so caring at all times. Unfortunatley our sister was not well and took a turn for the worst if it had not been for nursing staff who took care of her on day and evening of Monday 10th NOvember and had to get an ambulance for our sister who was blue lighted back to Heartlands our sister would not be here today. Thank you.

During Charles stay at Swallows Meadow Court I only ever saw him being treated with the highest standards of care and more importantly the utmost of respect and dignity. Thank you for looking after him and for the compassion that you all showed him.

Following the incredibly difficult decision that we could no longer care for our Mum at home, we settled upon Swallows Meadow. Initially, Mum found the transition traumatic, however after a few weeks she settled and accepted the care that she was given. The staff, too many to mention were unstinting in their support and did everything to ensure her comfort. Unfortunately, Mum's condition meant that her time at Swallows Meadow was limited but in the time that she was there we took comfort knowing that was in the best possible hands. The nursing and care support team showed such compassion and all involved with the calm and efficient running of the nightingale floor are to be commended. Sadly but inevitability Mum passed away, her journey peaceful and dignified. We will be eternally grateful to the staff for all they did. Thanks are not enough, they will be forever in our hearts. Swallows Meadow is a very special place and comes with our highest recommendation.

This was my mother's third stay at Swallows Meadow Court and the care & respect has not wavered. Mother has complex needs and brittle bones means many breaks. The care received was exceptional. Would definitely recommend clean, great food, lovely carers, well trained nurses.

My elderly father lived at Swallows Meadow for 2.5 years, following the loss of my Mum and struggling with cognitive issues. Dad arrived there after an awful time in hospital, where he had been treated for pneumonia after bad experience at another care home. This was a stressful time for my family, getting Dad settled and cared for properly was our priority. Dad was very frail when he moved to Swallows and thanks to the quality of care he received here, he defied all odds and lived for a further 2.5 years to the age of 97. All staff are friendly and demonstrate commitment to looking after the residents. The food is nutritious. All departments are efficient. There is a good activity programme run here 5 days a week, the staff work hard to provide interesting, interactive sessions and entertainment for all abilities. Lovely garden regularly used. Dad's end of life care was comfortable, dignified and respectful. I thoroughly recommend this as the best nursing home in the area by far

My wife was in Swallows Meadow Court Robin wing for 6 weeks rehabilitation after leaving hospital. All the staff were caring, considerate, friendly and professional to both my wife and myself.

Lovely room a very caring staff. Acted promptly when there were medical moves appropriately escalated. Tried anything and everything to encourage mum to eat. Open dialogue with family and effective communication. Didn't see any therapists, so can't comment but Mcand H guidance was easily accessible for all staff.

I was pleasantly surprised when my husband went to Robin House, a small staff of dedicated physios and occupational therapists. They worked hard with my husband, and he has made remarkable progress, I cannot praise the nursing staff enough nothing was too much trouble for them and the atmosphere of the whole floor was excellent.

I was really happy and grateful for the care provided and received by/ for my mam. She had 6 weeks with great care while we got her home maintenance all up to date, having to have a new boiler system and radiators in every room. Thank you for all your care.

I was at Swallows Meadow for a few weeks while I received care and physio. Every member of the team was wonderful and really looked after me. They remained professional at all times and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you doesn't seem enough for the amount of care they all give.

Mum sent from hospital to Swallows Meadow following a fall. The home was a strange place, no residents engaged with each other, all sat / lay in their rooms all day. The dining room was uninspiring & barely used, most residents stay in their room so no social interaction even at mealtimes. My mum didn't enjoy any of the food, we even joked that we had no idea how an earth anyone can make toast so soggy and limp. The staff of course were low on numbers & therefore all very busy especially the nurses / more medically trained staff, although I often witnessed staff sat on chairs staring at their mobile phones but perhaps on a break. Mum was waiting a long time when pressing for assistance. Mum had unwitnessed fall while in there, staff did everything by the book & took good care of her. Frustratingly mums dentures went missing the day before she was due home, 2 weeks later and still trying to find a dentist to sort this out so still not eating properly, lost weight since going in.

My mum was in Robin House for three weeks and then moved to Nightingale House as a permanent resident. All of the staff were absolutely amazing, super friendly, and clearly cared a great deal about their patients. They were also very welcoming to me as well and constantly asked if I would like a cup of tea when they made my mum one. I can now go back to America knowing my mum will be well looked after and in a great place.
