SWARTHMORE CELEBRATES
ITS 70th BIRTHDAY in AUGUST
Swarthmore Care Home offers high quality
residential care and support in a warm and
homely atmosphere to all older people. It is in
Gerrards Cross, set in its own beautifully
landscaped grounds. The heart of Swarthmore
is the original house to which two wings have
been added. The main rooms overlook the
terrace which has a scenic view into the gardens.
The home is run in accordance with Quaker
beliefs which value the uniqueness of the
individual and their potential contribution as a
member of the community. Whilst some residents
are Quakers, others are not, with a warm welcome
being extended to people from all backgrounds.
We are able to offer 34 places for residents with a
wide variety of needs; this includes care for those
with varying degrees of cognitive impairment. For
those who are fully independent we have a choice
of either living in the main house or in one of the
assisted living flats in the grounds.
All members of our team are highly trained in
residential and cognitive impairment care. We are
compliant in the most recent inspection carried
out by the Care Quality Commission.

We are an independent, not-for-profit care home
and our modest size means residents can feel part
of our community but also be able to maintain
their own privacy and individuality. We have a fully
trained team of 50 full and part-time staff, several
of whom are qualified in cognitive impairment
care. We are proud of our high ratio of staff to
residents. It is the aim of our staff to do everything
to make each resident’s time at Swarthmore as
easy and enjoyable as possible.
Types of care on offer are: Residential care,
Cognitive impairment, Sensory impairment care,
End of Life care, Respite care, Facilities and
activities. We have activities and events every
weekday and we organise regular trips out as well
as visits by people of interest. Relatives and friends may visit as often and for as
long as they wish and at any time. Everyone is
welcome to drop in for a chat over a cup of tea.
Swarthmore is a large house and residents can
choose to be at the centre of things or enjoy their
own company. T: 01753 885663
