We initially contacted Swallownest care home in May 2025 regarding respite care with a view to hopefully encouraging mum to move in on a permanent basis.. The staff were all friendly and welcoming and despite her initial reservations mum soon acknowledged that it would be a good idea to stay. The
care that mum received was excellent, we were welcomed to visit whenever we wanted. The team all work really hard to provide a great service and quickly became an extended family to mum . She enjoyed taking part in some of the activities organised by Dawn and Tracey from the wellbeing team but even when she chose to remain in her room staff constantly checked in to say hello. The catering staff worked really hard to accommodate mums changing dietary needs.Sadly mums health deteriorated and she required end of life care . It was so comforting that she was surrounded by people that she knew . Our only regret is that she didn't have more time there as her quality of life was improved so much

All the staff were very helpful, caring and supportive especially on the day my mum died. The home manager was also excellent on a particularly bad day i was having when I visited. The night staff were excellent too.

My 101 year old mother has been in several care homes over the last couple of years and Swallownest is the best by far. The atmosphere there is warm and friendly and this is obvious as soon as you walk through the door. The staff interact with the residents and their families and treat them with
warmth and respect. It is obvious that they enjoy their caring roles. There are frequent activities held in the large, sunny lounge and the residents are encouraged to join in. The home and grounds are clean and well maintained. I would have no hesitation in recommending Swallownest Care Home to anyone looking for a well run, caring 'home from home' for their loved ones.

Swallownest Care Home go above and beyond to care and look after my grandma. It's not just a home of care its a "home". During December there has been the most amazing activities for the festive season and the residents have had a brilliant time. Thank you to all the staff but a big shout out to
Tracey and Dawn- activities and wellbeing for giving the residents a lovely Christmas time.

The staff attempt to do their upmost to help in every area. The choice of food is good and variable. Activities great and everyone is welcome to attend. Facilities are constantly looked at and upgraded, this includes a new bathroom with bath and chair lift which will make a massive improvement to
new residents, some who have not been able to have a bath for years. Management are excellent in all aspects. Great [lace to be a resident.

I came to visit a friend and all the staff are lovely. The lounge facilities are decorated festive. My friend is very happy and its the best she looked for a long time with hair done and nails. The care home is very welcoming and I would be happy to stay here if ever needed.

Swallownest Care Home is one of the nicest places, during my time visiting my lovely friend, they made me so very welcome and made me part of the team. They supported me through some tough times and were there to enjoy the good times too. The care my friend got was incredible and not just from
carers from everyone. The team there are brilliant. Dawn and Tracy are absolutely brilliant at their job as activity co-ordinators and i am very pleased to be able to call them friends, the same goes for many other staff, too many to list. Since the loss of my friend I am still welcome to pop in for a cuppa and participate in social events. Anyone thinking of using Swallownest Care Home for their loved one should do so without question !

The moment I stepped in here, I knew it was different to the others. The decor is lovely and very homely.
All staff always have a smile and a giggle with my dad.
I can't actually find any fault with this place. May seem a quick review after a short while, but after being in a few others, I just
knew.
Admin lady has been epic at helping me fill all the forms in.
After visiting for only a week, I feel like part of the furniture and my mental health has improved knowing and feeling he is safe and looked after.
My dad is a joker and he has met his match with the staff haha. They are ace xx

Mum was welcomed by warm friendly staff upon her arrival. She settled in very quickly and well little teething problems were dealt with straight away. Mum made friends and took up knitting again! She had some fabulous afternoons with the wellbeing ladies. Food! Plenty of it and all good! Plenty of
choices and drinks. It was so helpful to myself as I know someone was around day and through the night to see to her needs. Weekly doctor visit a fantastic help. We both had a well deserved rest. Thank you.

Great place for grandma, taken great care of her and really helped me and mum out. Thanks again!

Was so pleased when Mum went into Swallownest Care Home. The staff, atmosphere and room and facilities are great. The only negative is waiting for mum to be assessed for a chair so can join in the activities in the lounge and be around people. I know this is not the home's fault but OT comin out to
her, she's now been stuck in bed 4 weeks and her physical and mental health has gone down hill. The period of time needs addressing but I have no fault with the home itself.
28 July 2025
I am a regular volunteer at the home and although I have connections to the home through both my father in law and my mum being resident here. Although my father in law was only in the home for a few weeks, some time ago, I got the feeling that the home was somewhere special and so when it was time
for me to consider somewhere for my mum, I had no doubt where I wanted her to go. Since mum passed away a few years go I have continued to go to the home to volunteer and still see the difference that the dedicated staff make to the lives of the residents. I hope that my small part in making the home seem like "home" to the residents helps. I love to help the residents if we are crafting, or singing if there is a concert or sometimes just sitting down having a chat with them one to one. The management team at the home also do a great job as do the kitchen, laundry and cleaning staff. Great place.

This home's attentive manner is outstanding. Each & every one of the management/staff go out of their way to treat you as one of their own. My husband said that everyone was so kind & lovely, that they went out of their way to make you feel welcome. Nothing's too much trouble. The food is so good &
plentiful. I don't think he wanted to come home from the respite! Thanks again to all.

My Dad moved in following a hospital stay. To say he wasn't keen was an understatement - he was a fiercely independent 94 year old and didn't give this up willingly. However, he soon settled in and joined in with whatever was going on. My Mum also moved in and I was happy with the care they
received. When my Dad died, a staff member spent her day off accompanying my Mum to his funeral - such a lovely thing to do. When my Mum died, she was treated with so much dignity and I was given time to grieve and be with her, an experience I didn't have when my Dad died in the hospital.
There are some lovely people working here whom I have the utmost respect for. They do a great job, sometimes in difficult circumstances, with the residents and their families. They should never underestimate the impact they have.

I have found all the staff that I have had contact with friendly and helpful. My mum has been a resident for 5 months. She likes the activities that are arranged for her and other residents. I have participated with them on St Patrick's Day. I felt reassured that she is in a safe place that looks
after her very well.
11 April 2025
Both my grandad and grandma have been cared for in this home and it's highly recommended. When they come to this time in their life, it puts your mind at ease knowing they're being cared for in a good facility with caring staff.
03 April 2025
Extremely friendly staff, they always greet you with a smile and ask how you are! They work really hard especially caring for the residents, they cannot alway be there in an instant but they always come as quickly as possible, it's such a kind caring friendly environment and my nan has settled in
really well and seems to love the staff, the carers always give an update on her when we arrive which is nice.
The food always looks nicely presented and arrives hot, my nan can be a fussy eater so doesn't eat most of what she's given but she says it's nice when she's eating it. Theres always plenty of fluids available for her and her water jug is never empty.
The rooms are spotlessly clean and homely.
There's been some days when we've visited where there's been some sort of event going off but my nan hasn't felt up to attend any at the moment but the staff always try to encourage her to take part.
Overall my nan is happy and content which makes us happy.

Although my mother-in-law was at Swallownest for a very short time leading up to her death. She received excellent care and support throughout. Staff were kind, professional and considerate of all our needs. They created a welcoming atmosphere, with daily activities which residents and their loved
ones could access and enjoy. I would heartily recommend Swallownest to anyone seeking a care home for themselves or a relative.

Excellent place, caring lovely staff who go above and beyond for the care of the residents. Wouldn't want my grandma to be anywhere else as I always feel she is safe and looked after here. Thank you everyone.

Staff are really lovely and friendly, I feel my nan is really well looked after, safe and entertained, they go above and beyond to make sure she's settled and well, her room is always clean and tidy and shes really happy to be there, she loves it, which for me is the most important, couldn't
recommend enough, brilliant
