My aunt moved into Tynwald on October 1st 2025. From the very onset my experience of Tynwald and it's staff have been nothing but positive. Her room had been freshly decorated and every effort was made to ensure she felt welcome and 'at home'. Everyone is friendly, helpful and courteous and nothing
is too much trouble. The meals are fresh and wholesome and hot! From her daily care to her medication all is provided with respect and efficiency.

From my initial visit to make arrangements for M to have respite, to the respite stay and on to full time residency I cannot fault Tynwald. I am delighted with how well M has been welcomed into the community and to watch how much better, in all ways, she is becoming I cannot praise Tynwald enough. Thank
you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My painfully shy mum attended for lunch every Friday for just over a year. It was a slow process of "getting to know the staff and residents".


Due to unforeseen circumstances mum recently had to stay for a respite break.


I was reassured to know that mum would stay in a care home where the staff

are warm, friendly and respectful towards the residents.


Mum enjoyed her respite stay so much, that she now looks forward to spending 3 days a week with her friends in Tynwald. I am happy that mum is having fun whilst I get regular breaks from my caring responsibilities.


Thank you Manager and the Team.

Tynwald, today, made my dad feel so special! It was his 94th birthday and they put on a high tea with so many treats and delights, all beautifully presented on tables decorated with flowers and bone china and books tied with ribbons. A delicious birthday cake and with all his friends from Tynwald sharing
his tea, he couldn't have asked for anything more. He has been treated with the greatest respect, and is so cared for, we couldn't ask for more. Thanks, Tynwald.

Having mum start with day care at Tynwald Residential Home was so helpful. When the time came for mum to settle into residential care she was already very familiar with her surroundings. Every time I visit I am humbled by the dedication and love and kindness shown to my lovely mum. This would be my
first choice. kind staff, spotlessly clean, good food loads of activities.

My aunt came here in mid-April. She took a little time to settle in. The food is varied and nourishing. All the staff are helpful and friendly and all have empathy with the residents. Nothing is too much trouble. Everywhere is spotlessly clean and comfortable. Visitors are welcomed with meal hospitality.
Many activities and entertainment. The garden is superb when I visit my aunt we sit outside with a cup of tea and biscuits and it is very relaxing. I cannot think of even one improvement that could be made. All sounds too good to be true but it surely is.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister was a resident in this care home for just over a year before her death. I was previously looking after my sister, but I realised I could no longer care for her and make everything in my home safe for her, hence her going into full-time care. I would highly recommend them for their care and
especially their end-of-life care. Everything was done with dignity in mind. They were so kind and caring not only to my sister but myself.
All the staff were very dedicated and their kindness will not be forgotten. My sister enjoyed the activities and the variety of food available, they celebrated events not just Christmas and Easter, but Wimbledon and Valentine's Day, making it fun for the residents.

Respite stay for one month. Although the building and facilities are a little 'dated', now this is more than made up for by the staff who were kind, caring, respectful and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble and this applied to visitors as well as residents. I felt my mother's health and welfare
were a priority and I felt she was in a safe and caring environment. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A nursing home can often feel clinical and alien, not like a home at all. Tynwald is an exception to this, the warm care and energy you feel when you walk through the door is second to that only of your own family home. The staff's personality shines through at every opportunity and the thought they
put into every character in the home reflects in how happy and comfortable every resident looks and feels. I wouldn't want my grandmother anywhere else.

My mother has just returned from 2 weeks of respite care at Tynwald, while we attended a wedding abroad. Everything was excellent. Communication beforehand was very professional.

Tynwald Residential Home offered respite care for me. Two weeks being looked after. I cannot speak highly enough of the care and kindness shown to me. Always make time for me (whether they have it or not). We could laugh or cry - always caring for the whole person. Such good teamwork throughout. Evidence
of good leadership and happy staff. And the food, well, so good. Well prepared and presented (and plenteous). Ten out of ten and deserves more!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.745)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.745) out of 10 for Tynwald Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.745 for Tynwald Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (148 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.745
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tynwald Residential Home is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 26 registered maximum number of service users is 5.2, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
