Meet The Manager
Francis Bosompim is General Manager at Sway Place.
I love to see residents flourish and I’m so proud to see our fantastic team play an essential part in making that happen.
As general manager at Sway Place, it is hugely important to me that every person we care for is happy and feels safe. We work hard to ensure residents feel understood. For us, it is about supporting residents and enabling them to continue enjoying relationships with their loved ones.
One of my favourite parts of the day is the time I spend with residents and their relatives. It is a privilege to get to know them and hear their life stories.
I joined Care UK because it supports its teams. It is an organisation with clear values and there are systems in place that allow each of us to do our best, so residents receive consistent quality care.
Sway Place, rated 'Outstanding' by the CQC, is a stunning, purpose-built care home in the New Forest National Park. The skilled team deliver a luxury lifestyle and an exceptional level of care and to all residents, including residential and dementia care on a respite or permanent basis.
The home offers superb facilities, including a café, hair and beauty salon, library and five-acres of landscaped grounds. There is something for everyone, including activity rooms with a varied programme of group and one-to-one activities.
There are separate 'households' in the home, as well as cottages set within the beautiful grounds where residents can live more independently whilst also enjoying all the benefits and facilities of the main home.
