About Swan Hill House Residential Home
Swan Hill House Residential Home provides person-centred residential care for older people, with long-term placements and respite that can become longer stays. The home is privately owned and family run, with support focused on helping residents feel safe, settled and involved in everyday life.
Families can arrange a tour, complete an admissions assessment and discuss a care package suited to physical and emotional support needs. Residents benefit from planned menus, a garden, activities and community connections, while respite offers a way to try residential care for a shorter period. The home can also accommodate couples, subject to assessment and suitability.

Questions families ask
Is there a waiting list for a room?
Yes. They often have a waiting list, although rooms can become available when residents return home, so availability can change.
Can they hold a room before moving in?
Yes. After the admissions process confirms a suitable match, they can discuss a holding fee to keep the room open until the move is suitable.
Can respite care become a permanent stay?
Yes. A two-week respite stay can be used to try the home and the idea of residential care before deciding whether it should become long term.
What happens after the care home paperwork is returned?
The Admissions Board reviews the paperwork and considers whether the home can meet the person’s physical and emotional support needs before confirming suitability.
How much does Swan Hill House Residential Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Swan Hill House Residential Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Shropshire council paid on average £918 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
