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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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 Home

Thank 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.

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.

I travel from overseas to visit my relative every year. I am always impressed by the facilities and the level of care provided. Despite the long gaps between my visits, the staff remember me by name and are always friendly and helpful. The manager has always provided assistance when asked and facilitated
my ongoing communication between my relative and me when I am overseas. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff in the home were both welcoming and positive, more than ready to help in any way and took trouble to accommodate individual likes and preferences, such as when my husband was taken out to the park in the minibus and put next to an open window (he gets travel sick), with classical music playing
(which he enjoys). We rang a few times to see how he was getting on and were always given a detailed reply, and were able to speak to him on the phone. I found the in house laundry very good, with careful attention given to clothes requiring a gentle wash, so nothing got mangled or lost in the system. All in all, a positive experience.

The care home has a friendly atmosphere and I find the staff very pleasant and helpful. Rooms are very pleasant if a little small to be in for such a long time. The only criticism is that food plates can be often left in the room for hours and I understand that it can be lonely in the evening without
anyone popping in to chat. However, the staff I have met - nurses, those delivering meals/snacks, laundry etc. are all lovely, helpful and brighten up the day of residents. Having the hairdresser, chiropodist, Dr on hand is very good.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments. We are happy you enjoy the home environment overall, We will discuss your feedback regarding the food plates with the home's manager to help them continually improve their service. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your loved ones stay as comfortable as possible.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother lives with me and goes into Heol Don for respite. Every time we arrive, Mum is given the biggest welcome. Lots of the team, with the many different roles, are friendly and professional. There are some members of the team who really go above and beyond to make my mother feel at home. My mum
is very quiet, so every time someone makes an effort to spend time with her, it makes such a difference. Lots of activities, co-ordinated incredibly well. The entire home is spotlessly clean and the food is to a very high standard. The gardens are beautifully kept. Recently, I overheard one of the permanent residents say, " I love it here!"
For respite care, Heol Don is a care home I would recommend.
