Review of Balquhidder House from Jane S (Wife of Resident) published on 20 July 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother was in Balquhidder and passed away in 2020, she was on Palliative Care. My Husband went into the home in February 2025 he had Cancer which was aggressive also very bad Dementia, my husband passed away 12th July 2025. I can't give this home enough PRAISE. The care that we got was second to none. My husband had a terrible death. The staff the nurses, and most of all the Manager Isobel are all very special people. A good home is very hard to find, all of these people are a credit to the company.

Review of Silver Trees from J S (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother has dementia and has been a resident at Silver Trees for over two years.
The carers are kind and attentive and are always welcoming to me when I visit.
Most days the activities team organise a good mix of creative activities, exercise, games, quizzes and live music to enrich the residents' days.
The care home is clean and welcoming but a little tired.
It feels homely.

The management are approachable and are quick to try to rectify any issues.

Review of Balquhidder House from C D (Niece of Resident) published on 6 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our experience of McGregor Unit has been fantastic.
Our Aunt has very Indians unique needs and we were concerned the Home and Staff would be unable to meet them.
However, the flexibility shown alongside the compassion, understanding and personal centred care has been nothing short of fantastic.
The entire environment has massively exceeded our expectations.

It is clear our Aunt feels safe, secure and perhaps even loved by the wonderful staff.

Review of Westerfield Care Home from G V (Partner of Resident) published on 10 June 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Westerfield was recommended to me by one of the health professionals involved in my partner's dementia care, and is indeed a well-run and welcoming home where everybody makes an effort to make every resident feel at home. Health monitoring and care are excellent. Visitors are welcome, and patient facilities are bright and spacious. The only regret there is no purpose build cafeteria which could also be used for bigger events

Review of Swn-y-Mor Care Centre from Len N (Son of Resident) published on 8 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother has been at Swn y Mor for almost a year now and I can't praise the staff highly enough for all the care & attention my mother receives. She has no mobility so needs almost everything done for her. All her care needs are taken care of in an empathetic & dignified way. She really enjoys the bingo sessions every week and the church services. It really does deserve the great reputation it has in the Port Talbot area.

Reply from Chris Rees, Area Manager at Swn-y-Mor Care Centre

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We are delighted to hear your mother is happy and well cared for at Swn y Mor. Your kind words about our team, activities and care mean a great deal to us all.

Review of Swn-y-Mor Care Centre from M D (Son of Resident) published on 21 April 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother has lived at Swy Y Mor for 18 months. My wife has worked in several homes in Dorset, for many years, and she has never, ever come across such a wonderful home as this one. My mother has MS. She is always clean and tidy. She has a great deal of stimulation eg trips, entertainment, activities, games and special functions. It is amazing. The home is very clean and smell free. The staff are amazing and extremely caring. My wife and I would live there ourselves. 10 out of 10.

Review of Caledonia Care Home from Brenda H (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 April 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I have found the staff at Regal unit to be knowledgeable in all mums needs, evidence of person centred care in both communication & demonstrated by staff on a consistent basis. Staff are approachable & always supportive in answering any of my concerns. I have observed mums interaction with staff to be hartwarming & reasuring. Mum is well cared for & staff know her personality & abilities I have not had much dealing with manager but the care home is well run & friendly.

Reply from Catherine Galbraith, Area Manager at Caledonia Care Home
Thank you for your kind words. I am glad you feel your mothers is well looked after. Please say high to the manager when you come in as Claire has an open door policy and loves to chat.

Visit my sister regularly, shes always well taken care of, staff are available & easy to chat to.

Review of Swn-y-Mor Care Centre from Ann D (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 February 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I am completely satisfied with the standard of care my mother is receiving; she is treated with dignity, and all aspects of her care are performed to a high standard. Excellent laundry service, the person in the laundry deserves a special mention, she goes above and beyond, she irons new garments before placing them in the wardrobe, and she is a huge asset to the care centre. My mother's room has commanding views of Swansea Bay and is spotlessly clean, so is the entire building.

Reply from Chris Rees, Area Manager at Swn-y-Mor Care Centre

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear that your mother is receiving care delivered with dignity and to a high standard. Your kind words about our laundry colleague will be shared with the team this level of pride and attention to detail makes a real difference. We also appreciate your comments on cleanliness and the environment. Thank you for your support.

My Father was resident at Silvertrees for just under two years, during which time the staff that looked after him were fantastic. It's all about the staff - and the carers here are superb - I regularly arrived to find carers in chatting to my Dad which made his time here far more pleasant - Its all about the staff!

Review of Silver Trees from J A (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My Mum has been at Silvertrees since April 2023. She speaks highly of Silvertrees and the nursing and care team despite always having said she did not want to be in a residential home. However due to her medical needs this has been necessary and there are so many positives about Silvertrees - the friendly care team, those that make her perfect tea, those who are kind, the laundry girls who went over and above to find her missing top, the girls for always helping with bits and pieces, the nurses for ongoing diligence, the wonderful varied activity programme, the welcome and hospitality for visitors , the speedy response to queries from the management team, the striving to improve, the seasonal events such as the summer garden party and Christmas meal for residents and families to share together. I could go on. It's not easy having to negotiate the care system but we appreciate everything that Silvertrees is doing. Thankyou.

Reply from Chris Rees, Area Manager at Silver Trees

Review of Swn-y-Mor Care Centre from J W (Niece of Resident) published on 21 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My Uncle has been at Swn-y-Mor for just over a year now. He is very comfortable as the staff ensure he is well taken care of.
He is now disabled and can't move on his own and I know that the staff are there to help with his needs.

I am overseas so it is hard to contact my uncle all the time due to time difference but the staff are very helpful in emailing me weekly and keeping me up to date with any health issues. I find them very welcoming and warm.

Reply from Chris Rees, Area Manager at Swn-y-Mor Care Centre

Thank you for your kind feedback. We are pleased to hear that your uncle is comfortable and well supported by our team. We are glad our regular updates have been helpful and appreciate your positive comments, which we will share with the staff.

Overall Experience

My mum was in for respite in Westerfield Care Home for 4 weeks over Christmas 2024/New Year 2025 before becoming a resident in July 2025. The support and care the whole family get from the staff is exceptional. They are always willing to listen and are very reassuring. Nothing is a problem to them! My mum is settling in well at the home. I feel very reassured that she is safe and in a caring environment where all her needs are being met. This is a very well-run care home by a great team. Thank you.
