My brother has dementia with lewey bodies and was unable to look after himself (even in assisted care). Last Christmas was shocking for him and all of us who try to support him. What a difference since he moved into the brilliant Heol Don Care Home in early October.
This is a disease that doesn't
normally lead the patient to be particularly positive about anything. Gareth's assessment today " I hit the Jackpot"! - he was really looking forward to enjoying his Christmas Dinner and Christmas with such a caring team!
I saw all the wonderful efforts that the brilliant staff prepared for Christmas when I visited on Monday. My family's sincere thanks to you all!!! What a superb and caring Team!
Reply from Alison Horridge, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at Heol Don Care HomeThank you for your lovely review. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is well cared for and it's great to hear your Brother feels like he "hit the jackpot" at Heol Don! Thank you again for your kind words.

The care staff and management of the home have been excellent. Our Mum has been treated with dignity and respect and has settled into the home really well. Her room is always spotlessly clean, and she looks clean, happy and well cared for. The meals are always lovely, and she is encouraged to be involved
in all the activities. Having a hair salon on site is a real bonus, and knowing that the doctor is visiting on a regular basis gives peace of mind. Being able to be included in activities is great, and knowing we can book a lunch/meal with her is really nice.
Reply from Natasha Burns-Leigh, Customer Service Advisor at Heol Don Care HomeYour review means a great deal to our team and we're so grateful you shared your experience. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease with your mother in our care. Providing kind and attentive care is in the heart of everything we do, so it's lovely to hear your feedback. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything more we can do.

My 93 year old cousin has been made very welcome here whilst she recovers from a hip operation. The home was very responsive when we were first in touch, very flexible re admission dates, and spoke with us about how long my cousin will stay. Everyone has been very kind, and my cousin is doing well.
Reply from Fran Donno, Customer Service Adviser at Heol Don Care HomeWe appreciate you sharing your experience with our home. It is wonderful to hear that your cousin has settled in comfortably with us and we want our home to feel like a community, and it's wonderful to hear that you feel a part of it. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything more we can do.

My mum, Margaret, has been staying at Heol Don for convalescent care since 23rd Sept after a 3 week hospital stay for a fractured femur. She wasn't keen on the idea of a care home, but has enjoyed her stay and the staff and other residents have her very welcome. A care package for her return home should
be in place soon. This has been so much better for her than having to stay in hospital! ( Only criticism 'No broadband on TV')
Reply from Fran Donno, Customer Service Adviser at Heol Don Care HomeIt's always encouraging to read reviews like this. We are pleased to hear that your Mum has enjoyed her stay so far and it's lovely to know that you feel reassured that your Mum is safe and well looked after. We will discuss your feedback with the home's manager to help them continually improve their service.

I had a total hip replacement in June. Feeling very vulnerable afterwards, I decided to go into the care home for 2 weeks. The stay there helped me to make a really good recovery. I am able to do much more than I thought, thanks to the care I received.
Thank you everyone at Heol Don Care Home!

I literally have no complaints about anything. Lots to do, and all are welcome.

Mum has had previous stays for convalescence post surgery and for respite to cover a family holiday, and has always been very happy and well looked after. This time it was an emergency post-surgery for nursing care. Once again, she is happy to be here with staff who know her and go to great lengths
to care for her and make her stay as happy as possible. She loves the exercise classes and welcomes the church service on a Sunday.

Hopefully you will go away from this feeling like your loved one received the best possible care.

My father-in-law requires quite a high level of nursing care. This care commitment has increased over the last few years that he's been at this care home. Even though he's high maintenance, he is included in every activity that they offer at the centre. This is so reassuring to know as some of the days
I'm sure could appear to him to be long. The activities on offer are varied and I always feel appropriate to all ages and abilities. Indoors or outdoors (whether permitting), the activities vary from hands on to full participation (live entertainment). I'm always pleased to hear about what's on offer that week from the weekly diary he's given at the start of the week.
Reply from Fran Donno, Customer Service Adviser at Heol Don Care HomeThank you for your kind review. It is so wonderful to hear that your Father In Law is enjoying the variety of activities that are provided and that he feels like a part of our Heol Don family. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease with your loved one in our care and please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your Father In Law's stay as comfortable as possible.

My mother experienced a number of seizures during a meal time, which is a very busy time. The staff were outstanding. From the house keeping staff to qualified staff members both carers and nurses, they helped with my mother not just with the initial first aid but the whole package of care. She arrived
to hospital safely and then after being discharged from the hospital they were very warm with their welcome back. It is so reassuring that there is a high level of professionalism within all members of the staff team at this centre.
