About Swan Court
Swan Court provides care and support at home in Buckingham and the surrounding part of Buckinghamshire. We work with older people, adults living with dementia, people with physical disabilities, people with visual or hearing impairment and younger adults. Home care works best when it is built around the household rather than around the provider. Before support starts we sit down with the person, and with family if they want them there, and work out what would actually help, what they would rather keep doing themselves and how they like things done in their own home. From there we build a small, settled team, because a familiar face at the door changes the whole feel of a visit. Support can be a short morning call to get somebody washed, dressed and safely started, or several visits a day covering personal care, medication, meals, mobility, shopping and an evening check. Where somebody has a sensory impairment we adapt how we communicate and take care to leave the home exactly as they expect to find it. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather tell you that ourselves than have you find it elsewhere. We know which areas were identified, we are working through them, and we will speak plainly about our progress if you ask. If you are considering care at home in the Buckingham area, please get in touch and we will be honest about what we can offer.
