What makes Swallow Wood special?
Where are we?
Swallow Wood is in Mexborough, Doncaster in South Yorkshire. We’re situated on Wath Road and approximately half a mile from Mexborough town centre where there are transport links to Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield.
Doncaster centre is a 10-minute train ride away whilst the famous Meadowhall shopping centre is 15 minutes away by train. We also have three local GP surgeries.
Activities, trips and events
We support everybody’s individual choices, interests and hobbies and our passionate Activity Coordinators love keeping residents active and entertained. They provide a fun-packed and stimulating schedule for people to participate in as they choose.
There’s our choir, armchair exercise sessions, baking, flower arranging, arts and crafts, quizzes, bingo, external entertainers and church services, just to mention a few of the things we get up to.
We try and arrange as many outings for the residents as possible. This could be a few hours at the local garden centre, to a stroll around a country park or even the zoo. Whatever our resident’s personal requests are we try our best to make happen.
We have many themed events throughout the year to celebrate the seasons. These vary from 'Living Eggs' at Easter, which involves watching baby chicks hatch, a Summer Fete in our beautiful gardens with donkey rides for the little ones and a travelling pantomime at Christmas.
Chaplaincy and pastoral support
We're proud to be supported by dedicated Chaplains at Swallow Wood who offer pastoral support to all, whatever their beliefs. Our chaplains are in the home on a Monday and Thursday, providing a church service every Monday.
They provide a listening presence, companionship and one-to-one pastoral support for all residents, their friends and relatives, and staff members - irrespective of their beliefs - and organise worship for those who wish to participate. Where appropriate, residents are encouraged to maintain links with local faith communities.
Seize the day - unique and memorable opportunities
Funded through charitable support, every MHA care home also prides itself in being able to offer unique and memorable opportunities and activities for residents to quite literally help them 'seize the day'.
