My mother has been at Llys Cyncoed for over a year now. At first she was uncertain whether she wanted to stay, but the carers were very welcoming and helpful and she is now very happy to be there. In fact she often helps to welcome new residents.
The carers are always very warm and helpful whilst also
being thoroughly professional.
Llys Cyncoed is a lovely environment, reminiscent of an upmarket hotel, and the facilities are excellent - they even catered for us in a private dining room when we held a small Christmas party there.
Mum considers herself very fortunate to be at Llys Cyncoed, and we would heartily recommend it to anyone considering a move to a care home.
Reply from Elisabeth May, Reviews Team at Llys CyncoedThank you so much for writing this lovely review, we are delighted that your Mother is here with us and she and your family are so happy!

My parents moved together to Llys Cyncoed three years ago. From my very first visit to view the home I have been struck with the warm welcome in the large, bright and beautifully decorated reception area. From here the communal areas, corridors and residents rooms are equally light, comfortable, well
appointed and kept super-clean. My parents brought some of their own furniture, some was provided. Every effort is made to ensure the residents are as content and comfortable as possible with a wide variety of activities and entertainment available if wanted. My parents enjoyed a number of outings in the minibus.
The staff, whatever their role, are kind, respectful, professional and thoughtful towards the residents and their families. Nothing is too much trouble. This was demonstrated recently in the care provided to my mother in her final days and my father before that.
I have never regretted choosing Llys Cyncoed as a home for my parents.

Llys Herbert is wonderful in general, but the VE Day celebration was a particular high spot.
It was so good to see the interaction with residents, family, carers and managers.
Everyone sang joyously while taking a period of silence and listening to Churchill's speech about victory in Europe.
My
lovely relative didn't want to go outside so we enjoyed the fun and music from inside with a glass of sparkling wine! Despite having dementia she sang all the words to the old war favourites. When I left she was animated and brimming with smiles.
Thank you!

My mother had benefitted from full-time care in her own home in Cheshire for several years before her needs increased and her isolation from other family members (all 150-200 miles away) became too difficult to manage.
As a Cardiff resident myself, I had become aware of the very high standard of care
and accommodation offered at Llys Cyncoed, and I was fortunate to secure a room for my mother two months ago. The building, common areas, rooms, food and recreational activities are all top class. Most importantly, so are all the staff.
Despite being a rather private person, and having lived in comfort and privacy in her own house for many decades, Mum is totally happy at Llys Cyncoed. It is difficult to see how the combination of care, comfort, privacy and professionalism could be improved upon: it has the feel and atmosphere of a large and very happy family-- congratulations to the staff.
Reply from Elisabeth May, Reviews Team at Llys CyncoedThank you so much for writing this wonderful review! We are delighted that you and your family are so pleased with everything, and it is an absolute joy to have your Mother staying here with us.

The staff at Llys Herbert who are mostly quite young are excellent they could not be more caring with Beryl and it's no surprise that she is very fond of them all. Her face lights up when they are near and although they are busy they always seem to make time to sing a little song or have a dance with
her which I am sure makes her stay here so much better.

My father is a long-term resident. He is receiving a good level of care. We appreciate the individual dedication of staff, the fact that they spend time with him and try to engage in conversation that interests him. The staff show patience sometimes under difficult circumstances. He enjoys his food
and appreciates the help he sometimes needs during meal times. He does enjoy when the staff have been able to take him into the garden, or a short outing in the wheelchair. We find the care home well looked after, neat and tidy. We appreciate the offer to have a meal with him in the dining room or his room.

Mum is always washed and changed every morning, making herself presentable is very important to her and staff realise this and always looked after her. Food is of good hotel standard and goes down well.
Activity team always very positive and frequent variety of activities. Well done all.

I can only find positives to describe the 2 years my father was cared for at Llys Cyncoed. The receptionists through to the care staff and every member of staff in between make it a wonderful place to live and to visit. When he arrived my dad was at a very low point in his life and was scared of everything.
They persevered with care, compassion and kindness, as well as offering friendship. Two years later he has left behind a great bunch of individuals and I know that he will miss them all in the same way that we, as a family will. They became an extension to our family. Sadly his needs now require nursing, otherwise we would never have moved him.
I can't recommend Llys Cyncoed enough. Go and check it out for yourselves, you won't be disappointed

My wife is not able to do much for herself, but has found the staff and management of Llys Herbert to be understanding of and sympathetic towards her care, capable and responsive when necessary, courteous and respectful at all times and most of all caring. Llys Herbert and its staff and residents deserve
the fine reputation afforded them.

My mother has resided at Llys Cyncoed for over 4 years and she has been and remains very settled and happy.
The staff at all levels, throughout this period, have always been very kind, caring, friendly, approachable, supportive and professional.
They provide a safe and secure environment, always with
a welcoming and happy atmosphere.
The building is impressive and the facilities are excellent.
There are daily entertainment activities, regular trips out and in-house hairdressers.
The social areas are excellent, with coffee/ tea/ snacks downstairs and an upstairs lounge for activities/ films, etc.
The food is generally excellent, with a varied menu and a choice of bespoke items.
Recently, the staff arranged a lovely birthday celebration for her wider family and friends, which was excellent.
I would highly recommend Llys Cyncoed for anyone considering a care home.

Mum moved into the home in 2025 and the support both beforehand and at point of her arrival had been exemplary. I visited a number or other homes beforehand and was immediately impressed when I arrived at Llys Cyncoed. It smelt beautiful , everyone was so welcoming and the whole place felt reminiscent
of a 5 star hotel. Time was taken to assess mum at home in the first instance. On her day of arrival everyone greeted us by name and her room had been prepared with her personal items to make her feel welcomed immediately.
The staff have been so attentive every since and treat her with such dignity and kindness. The warmth between carers and residents is heart warming and mum settled immediately which gave me the peace of mind I need at such a pivotal point. I couldnt be more grateful and would highly recommend them

After a period of respite Mum made the decision herself to stay on permanently at Llys Cyncoed and luckily a lovely room was available. She was finding life at home, by herself, very lonely and managing daily tasks was definitely becoming very challenging for her. This decision was not an easy one to
make. It's 6 months on now and we are so very pleased at how Mum has settled in. All of the members of the care team are always welcoming, warm and friendly. They are kind, incredibly caring and very supportive of Mum and the rest of the family. We now enjoy quality time with Mum knowing that she is safe and secure with a professional team of people who have her very best interests at heart. Thank you all!!
Reply from Elisabeth May, Reviews Team at Llys CyncoedThank you so much for taking the time and writing this lovely review of us! We are delighted that you are so happy and it is a pleasure to be able to care for your Mother.

My good friend has recently passed on due to stage 4 Pancreatic cancer and was in hospital for at least a month back in April 2025. During this ordeal we started to look for alternative care options for him and narrowed our choice down to two care homes in Cardiff. We took my friend round both and he
immediately settled on Llys Cyncoed Care home in Cardiff, where he remained for the next 4-months until his death on 28 October 2025. Adrian's stay at Llys Cyncoed was fairly brief, but the care he received was exceptional and as far as he could, given his circumstances, he enjoyed his time at the home. The staff were magnificent throughout .... especially toward the end, when it was particularly 'harrowing' for us to visit as friends and family, but equally challenging for the staff looking after him. I cannot thank them enough for the care and attention they all showed my friend and the dignity he was able to maintain right to the end.

I cannot recommend Llys Cyncoed highly enough. From initial enquiries to the outstanding level of care received during a particularly difficult time. The care team became friends and the level of assistance and compassion shown was second to none. Everyone there is treated as an individual with their
particular needs, likes and dislikes catered for as closely as possible. From personal experience I can say that the staff went over and above what could have been expected, not only for the resident, but for friends/family also. The home is beautifully appointed, with many large social rooms and an exquisite dining room and gardens. There are numerous activities and trips organised for anone who wishes to take part. But above all, what shines through is the dedication, compassion and friendliness of all of the people, in whatever capacity, that work there. Thanks to all of you - for taking such wonderful care of my relative - and for the great kindness and care that you also showed to me.

There is no doubt that Llys Cyncoed is an absolute exceptional care home.
We visited many before choosing and we are so glad we made it our choice.
From the start of this difficult journey the staff have gone above and beyond in supporting us with mum and their attention to detail is excellent.
Extremely
homely, excellent food, daily entertainment and activities, outstanding staff, very welcoming and mum is made to feel so comfortable and safe.
Would definitely recommend Llys Cyncoed and would like to thank all staff for making us feel at home.

A massive thank you to all at Llys Cyncoed for the exceptional level of care and support given to my parents over the last five years. I cannot praise the team highly enough for the loving and welcoming environment they create for residents and their visitors. Accommodation, facilities and housekeeping
are all to a very high standard and the quality of food is excellent. There are numerous social activities and trips for those who wish to participate but there is no pressure to join in for those who prefer to live more independently. The team frequently go the extra mile to fulfil the preferences of individual residents and adapt to their changing needs. My parents came to regard many of the staff as friends and I was always grateful for the support provided to me as a family member and the welcome I was offered whenever I called in or visited. I have nothing but praise for the staff and would not hesitate to recommend Llys Cyncoed to prospective residents and their families.
