Bryn Celyn

from B R (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 18 August 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Pleased with the overall standard of care provided for my mother at Bryn Celyn.
The room provided is clean and comfortable and was refurbished prior to her moving into the home.
The communal areas are also well maintained and kept to a high standard of cleanliness.
The food provided is high quality
with a good choice and variety of menu options.
The staff show a very caring attitude to the residents and the whole team put a lot of effort into providing entertainment and activities to keep the residents occupied during the day.
The cost of the additional fees is a concern , however the management are always willing to discuss this and any other concerns arising .

My mum has always been very well cared for here but unfortunately since Amya have taken over it has declined terribly. My mums room is not being cleaned properly and the general cleanliness of the home has gone downhill. staff are amazing and do there very best but they are overworked by management
with no cover if staff are off sick. We as a family have noticed this since the takeover and are very concerned. The staff work so hard and give there upmost but they all look tired and drained. management need to look at these reviews since the changeover and seek immediate improvement. Seems to us that they now care more about making money than residents wellbeing.

When looking for a nursing home for my grandmother I chose this one due to the amount of activities they had, the cleanliness, and overall welcoming compared to others I had viewed. It's changed hands recently and I expected a bumpy ride but hands down it's been brilliant. The care has remained top
notch, so has the activities. If I ever have a query or issue it's addressed instantly and rectified. It took a lot of faith for me to trust anyone with my loved one but now I don't worry, I know she's in safe hands and with amazing caring people. So much that my 5 year old nephew always asks to go to visit over going on a day trip as he loves it there so much. Hopefully this home is around when I need care

Medicines rarely on time. Morning meds sometimes late morning, for example.
Staff were very good once they arrived, but compared to last year the home didn't seem as well managed.
Food was excellent, except for overcooked mushy vegetables.

from Helen B (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 May 2025

I'm very saddened of the Negative changes that have been made since Amaya have taken over from.
It was a real family feel about the home when mum went in around 16 months ago , we were happy leaving her when we had to leave knowing she was being well looked after .
It is now a contrast of those
days, staff are leaving across every board of titles - carers , clerical, chefs , cleaners . The staff that are left there are doing the utmost best , but can only do what they can when being so short staffed. I'd also like to thank the staff that haven't walked out a big thank you for going above and beyond in your role .

We as a family are very worried regarding our mother's care. This is now a business and it is evident that making a large profit from vulnerable adults is the way they will be functioning. It is very sad situation for the residents.

Very worrying! Since Capel Grange has been taken over there has been a very noticeable decline. The number of staff that have left is very concerning, this is across the board from clerical, carers and nursing. One nurse is now expected to cover two units and three carers to one unit. The staff morale
is rock bottom but still trying their very best to give our loved ones the love and care they deserve. I like to thank all the carers and nurses for all their hard work

My mum is well cared for & the staff are amazing, however since Amaya have taken over the home seems to be on the decline.
Most days they are under staffed & the staff that are there are over run, scared to speak and look generally run down.
There has been 1 nurse covering 2 units which is unacceptable,
not only for the residents but the nurses too. They are running staff into the ground in my opinion and when they are off sick they get no one to cover them. Leaving units under staffed. Myself, and many relatives of the residents are getting very concerned.

I have my mother, her sister and her sisters husband all at this wonderful care home. The staff are so very caring. The entertainments and activities provided are absolutely brilliant and stimulating Taking residents out for the day really helps. The food is excellent with plenty of variety to suit
their needs , and more. Their social media page keeps my family who live abroad and myself up-to-date with everything that's happening.
When my time comes, I know where I'm going. I can't praise this home enough.

The staff are very kind and helpful. My mothers room and bathroom are kept very clean. The hallways and general rooms are clean and tidy. The facilities such as hairdresser and activities are good. The food is good and there seems to be some choice. The decor is a little dated on Kestrel wing which
can make the hallways dark. I think a coffee machine in the conservatory would be a lovely addition as most people enjoy a barista type coffee as they cannot go out much. Residents could buy own pods. I think the cleaning staff and careworkers do a fantastic job and have made my mother feel at home. We have had some issues regarding laundry which has meant spending more money on clothes which have disappeared and boiling all items is not necessary. Overall a very good care home.

As an emergency respite for my Father, it was a wonderful home. The care and attention which was given was amazing. We can't thank everyone enough! I remember the nurse on duty the day we arrived, him asking my dad, "What can we do for you?" Dad replied - "A bath or a shower please?" the nurse replied,
"Of course, we can do that for you". I knew then, my dad would be cared for with compassion. They did not fail! Maintenance team - Kind and helpful. Entertainment team - welcoming fun and activities most days, wonderful! Christmas, festive activities were fantastic! Everyone welcome. Food always looked nice and nutritious. Receptionist/Management team - welcoming, approachable and very helpful. Although my father was only at Bryn Celyn for a short while, his well-being and care was wonderful. We can thank you, all the staff, enough. Best wishes to all the staff for 2025!

My father has been at Bryn Celyn, Maesteg for a few months now. Every time I've visited, the staff greet you with a smile and are very approachable. I cannot stress enough how much of a pleasure it is to visit the home.
My father is very well cared for, always clean and well looked after and also his
room is very neat and tidy. The food is excellent. There is a great selection of entertainment (especially with Christmas).
Thanks very much for your kindness and compassion all, especially working in what could be a stressful job.

I am the service user and have been at Bryn Celyn since August 2024. I was welcomed and settled into my room by the staff.
My room was prepared and decorated and I was allowed to make the room comfortable using personal items from my home.
Friends and family are welcome to visit at all reasonable
times.
The charges to the home are high but I seem to get value for the fee paid.

Keep us well informed regarding any problems with Mother-in-law. She seems very happy and well cared for. The carers are always extremely patient with her. Plenty of activities to keep her entertained. The home arranges hospital visits regarding ambulance and chaperones when required. Our experience
of the home is very good.

The home offers a warm, friendly environment, the upkeep of the home is maintained to a very high standard, inside and out.
The overall well-being of care and support needs are met. Consideration is given to individual preferences.
Many staff follow the person-centred plans, although do not always
keep up with changes. Some training is required of the use of supporting an individual to insert hearring aids along with ensuring the aid is fully operational.
We, as a family, feel that the home meets the individual needs and would like to thank everyone for the kindness and support they offer.
