About Sway Place
We at Sway Place are proud to offer a welcoming residential care home in the peaceful village setting of Lymington, Hampshire, where older person care and dementia support are delivered with warmth, dignity and genuine compassion. Nestled within the beautiful surroundings of the New Forest area, our home benefits from the tranquil atmosphere that this corner of the South East is cherished for. The gentle pace of village life provides a calming backdrop for daily living, whilst the wider Lymington community offers a familiar and reassuring sense of place for residents and their loved ones alike. Our care is thoughtfully tailored to each individual who calls Sway Place home. For older residents requiring residential care, we focus on preserving independence whilst offering the day to day support that makes life comfortable and enjoyable. Our dementia care is delivered with patience and understanding, recognising that every person living with memory challenges has a unique story, unique preferences, and unique needs. We take the time to know each resident properly, so that familiar routines, favourite interests and personal comforts remain a meaningful part of daily life. We also welcome guests for respite care, offering families much needed reassurance during periods when a loved one requires short term support, or when regular carers need time to rest and recharge. Whether the stay is for a few days or several weeks, we aim to make every guest feel genuinely at home from the moment they arrive. Our most recent CQC inspection in May 2025 gave us an overall rating of Requires Improvement, with Good ratings recognised across the Effective, Caring and Responsive domains. We are honest and open about this outcome. The Good ratings reflect the warmth of our team and the quality of care our residents experience each day, and we are working diligently to strengthen the areas identified around safety and leadership. Families can expect transparency from us throughout this journey, along with a steady commitment to improvement and to the wellbeing of everyone in our care. Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the weight of that choice. If you are exploring residential, dementia or respite care in the Lymington area, we warmly invite you to get in touch, ask questions, and arrange a visit to meet our team and see our home for yourself. We are here to listen, to reassure, and to walk alongside you every step of the way.
