Care Homes Owned by Shaw Healthcare in Powys

I am a long-term friend of one of the residents of Trenewydd, Brecon, now in her 90s. I now live in Birmingham but visit when I can Each time I visit I am impressed by the general atmosphere, so welcoming and friendly. The staff are so kind and friendly and take an interest in the residents, chatting to those who take part in the activities.

I visit my friend in Cartref weekly she always seems to be happy and contented, she tells me the staff are always kind and nothing is too much trouble for them. She enjoys her food although she eats very little, there is always a choice of menu. I am a little concerned regarding the heating in her room with winter approaching.

Thank you Cartref.

No words can express how the staff (all) looked after & cared for Alan. Thankyou all very much xxx.

I feel my aunt is being well looked in the home. Staff area always happy to help, food is excellent and there is something entertainment schedule into the home. Manager has been very helpful to me with my issues I have too.

I always find the staff friendly and helpful. I feel very comfortable and secure knowing my mother's care is so excellent.

My father has been in Llwyn Teg since march 2025. I think he is incredibly lucky as I have heard it is rare these days to find a care home that feels so warm and welcoming and homely. It always smells fresh and clean. The staff are all exceptional in their kindness and thoughtfulness. Dad is very proud and they treat him with respect and help him to feel that his needs are the most important thing. His idiosyncracies are tolerated with a smile and there is always laughter and jokes. I never thought I would see him happy in a care home but I actually think his life is richer for being there.

They are absolutely brilliant here with dad and were also so lovely with mum at the beginning of the year . I would highly recommend Maes y Wennol to anyone who needs 24/7 care. Absolutely outstanding and nothing too much trouble

Llwyn Teg is very welcoming for both residents and visitors and we are always greeted with a smile. There is much focus on making the place feel homely, both in individual rooms and communal areas. This summer they have made huge improvements to the outside area, which has made the space much better especially in the heat. When things don't go according to plan, as sometimes happens, the management team always make sure that they speak to the residents and family members to understand what changes or improvements can be made. Thank you for all the care you are giving to my family member.

Staff are professional helpful and always kind whilst helping mum to engage in a relaxed and friendly manner.

We were very apprehensive of how my mother in law would settle. The staff have supported both my mother in law and her family in this transition. There is a homely environment within the home and everyone are very supportive and friendly.

Excellent staff very helpful and always caring for my husband he has been here quite a while xx always let me know when anything is wrong the kichen staff need to be recognised the staff and care people always find me a lovely drink and food if needed .,,

It was a difficult decision for my Mum to have to move into a care home but after her living at Llwyn Teg for the last two and a half years now I have great confidence that she has the best possible care and genuinely would not want her to live in any other care home.

Llwyn Teg is a pleasant care home, providing good quality care. The day care staff work extremely hard, long hours but are always smiling and willing to help when needed. The building is tidy and the grounds are attractive.

A very pleasant care home that suits all my mother's needs, i.e., hygiene, eating, activities, friendship, etc. Home is of immaculate decoration and very easy to navigate with wheelchair. Lots of communal space and staff are simply amazing. Nothing is too much to do to look after the residents daily. Overall, a fine and wonderful place to be (our happiness is key also, and we are so).

My 92 year old dad was taken here after a long stay in hospital, originally on respite but is now very happy to be a full time resident. I always tell him he's being very spoilt there and I'm going to book a week in there! His care is second to none, and all the staff have a really good rapport with the residents and visitors alike. He loves the meals and the carers there. His room is perfect for him, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone considering care for a loved one

The staff are absolutely amazing and really care for the residents they look after. The residents are well looked after, the home is extremely clean and attention to the small but important details to make residents lives as happy as possible.

Llwyn Teg is such a lovely, caring residential home. I'm happy that mum is receiving the best possible care constantly being shown dignity and respect by all staff. Mum is very settled and is very happy living at Llwyn Teg.

My brother seems happy, well-fed, looked after very well. He is settled, and often has someone keeping him company. When we visit the staff are always welcoming. It's the front line staff that make the difference. Just keep doing the same great job.

Have found the care home staff to be professional in their duties but with a caring attitude to all residents. The home has a comfortable 'home from home' feeling and residents appear contented and at ease. Reports from our relative state that the food is good and they are accommodating to individual needs if needed. It makes it easier knowing your relative is being well cared for and in a safe environment
