As a family we were delighted with the care Mum received. She settled very quickly and was happy & content which gave us great comfort. As a shy lady we worried that she would not integrate well but the lovely atmosphere and the superb daily activities programme at Cwmbran House meant that she exceeded
all our expectations. Our grateful thanks go to each and every one of you.
Reply from Lynne Woodrow, Home Manager at Cwmbran House Care HomeThank you for your kind words, mum has settled well into Cwmbran House, and I will pass on your thanks to the team

On Saturday 18th October my mother was able to celebrate with a large group of family and friends in a special room in Cwmbran House. It was a fantastic celebration. A beautiful cake was provided for this special 100th birthday. Staff were warm, welcoming and professional, before, during and after her
birthday. They were genuinely excited with us, such an occasion. Many guests mentioned the hospitality, space, and atmosphere of the home, thank you so much, a fantastic time was had by all.
Reply from Alex Antonescu, Clinical Deputy Manager at Cwmbran House Care HomeGood morning, Caroline. Thank you so much for the review and for the nice words. We will pass on the feedback to our staff. We are glad you had a lovely celebration and all the family felt welcomed at Cwmbran House.

I am really impressed with this care home. It is very clean and my nan is well cared for. When I turn up to visit, the residents are always well looked after by the staff who engage with the residents carrying out activities. I really appreciate the staff going above and beyond and updating me on my
nan's condition. They also regularly update their social media page which is nice to see when I haven't visited for a few days.
Reply from Lynne Woodrow, Home Manager at Cwmbran House Care HomeThank you for your kind words, it's our pleasure to look after your nan.

This is my mum's second respite care for two weeks. All the staff welcomed her back and are absolutely lovely to her. She has alzheimers and can be difficult at times, but I felt absolutely confident leaving her in the care of Cwmbran House when we went abroad for a week. She is a pescetarian and her
diet was catered for. All her washing was done and came back smelling lovely. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cwmbran House for respite or full time care. It is a wonderful place and is lovely to know that my husband and I can take a break from caring, and she will be well cared for. Thank you so much.

This is the best care home that my Gran has settled into! After 2 years of me struggling to care for my nan alone without any family support I couldn't thank the care manager enough for accepting her into his care home!
Every staff member I have met have been absolutely amazing always going the extra
mile and ALWAYS giving the best care possible and making everyday a fun happy nice place to be!
The improvement in my nan has really made my year!
Reply from David Daniels, Home Manager at Plas y Garn Care HomeThank you for your kind words. It is a pleasure to have her living with us. Such a lovely lady who has settled in well.

Mum came to Plas Y Garn in May 2024, it was a turbulent move as she had a recurring infection and initially need hospitalisation several times. The staff and management went out of thier way to help even going to see mum in hospital.
After she was settled she soon learned to enjoy the activities,
they do something every morning and every afternoon, 7 days a week. Mum especially loved the Noddfa Music, Bingo and Coffe Mornings.
Unfortunately in March she became ill with chest infection and stopped eating, the whole team.. Management, Senior Carers, Carers, Catering and ancillary staff went out of thier way to make sure mum and her visiting family were made welcome and NOTHING was too much effort.
Unfortunately Mum became terminally ill, the open door policy they have meant her working relatives could when ever they were able.
Inher last days they allowed my brothers and I to sleep on site and even made sure we were fed and supplied with tea and coffee. No characters left..sorry!

I can honestly say that the change in the care home has been amazing. The carers are so good with the residents and keep them amused a lot more. Big shout out to the entertainments coordinator. She is so interactive with the residents and they are always busy crafting, singing, dancing and playing games.
I am really impressed with the change.

Cwmbran House Care Home has provided our mother with a safe place to live for the past 10 months. Mum has dementia and has the space to walk around as the corridors are long which gives her freedom and a certain amount of independence. The garden which is accessible from the communal room is wonderful
during winter and summer and provides a safe space. As a family, we are very pleased with mum's care and I could recommend this care home.
Reply from Carolann Jones, Customer Engagement Lead at Cwmbran House Care HomeThank you for your lovely review. We will pass your comments onto the colleague team. We are pleased that your mum has settled in well at Cwmbran House.

My mother has been in Plas y Garn for about 16 months and she is very well cared for there. She is happier than she has been for several years and gets on very well with all the staff, and other residents. I am always made to feel welcome when I visit, usually twice a week.
Keep up the good work.
Reply from David Daniels, Home Manager at Plas y Garn Care HomeThank you for your kind words. It is always a pleasure to see you at the home and certainly brightens up your mother's day.
