From day one, Mum has been cared for with compassion and dignity. The first few months were hard for Mum to adjust to life at Tynwald but the staff have all been amazing, thoughtful and kind at all times.

I would like to thank all the staff at Tynwald, who over the last 11-months has done the most incredible job keeping all the residents safe, happy, stimulated and cared for. During this period when only they could be in the home, they have not only done their day job, but they have been the entertainment
committee as well! I can't thank everyone enough. If my dear mother wasn't in Tynwald during this time, I'm really not sure how we would have survived.

The entire staff are dedicated to making each resident feel loved and cared for. No request is too much for them. My mum is given (in general) anything she fancies to eat, so if she does not like the choices on the menu, she can request and alternative.
It is like home - the staff are happy, cheerful
and always willing to go the extra mile for the residents.
Christmas decorations have been put up in the home as well as in the beautiful garden. She couldn't be ina better place (other than in her own home of course).

Thank you for your review, your words mean so much to the staff during this especially difficult time we're all experiencing. Hoping to all be reconnected in the near future. We continue to keep everyone safe and well.

My mum has always been treated kindly and in a dignified manner. The staff have been excellent in understanding her personality/likes/dislikes and acted accordingly. I have been contacted immediately should there be any health issues or misunderstandings. MY mum sometimes struggles with food choices
but is always offered an alternative. I would definitely recommend and thank you during Covid-19.

My mother received excellent care in Tynwald and loved being there. The staff were caring and kind especially in the last few weeks of her life.
End of life care was loving and dignified.

Review from Jane C (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 October 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident at Tynwald since March 2016. Mum struggles to walk but is perfectly alert, so finding a care home with the right atmosphere was crucial to her daily wellbeing. Tynwald is a friendly, warm caring place staffed and run by people with the same qualities. They have gone out
of their way to make mum happy, altering her bed and room layout to suit her. Her room is filled with her craftwork, books and all the things she enjoys. Her main carer is an empathic, generous, kind and funny person who has become a good friend. If you could clone her the staffing problem in care work would be solved!


Tynwald management and staff really know their residents. The CQC checks and measures cannot measure an atmosphere, or a warm feeling, or a kind word in the night. They don’t give points for empathy. I am a former Ambulancewoman who has seen bad homes. Tynwald is at the opposite end of the spectrum. It is mum’s home and she (and we) are so happy we found it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt resides in Tynwald and is the 2nd relative to do so, my father being the other. I have found the care to be of the highest quality, nothing is too much trouble for the staff, from the cleaners through the kitchen staff to the carers right through to the manager. They are friendly but very efficient
and the residents are extremely well looked after. If there is a problem with my aunt, maybe with her being unwell, we are notified by phone straight away.


The care home itself is what I would consider as homely, which is exactly what we were looking for. If the time should come, I wouldn't mind residing there myself. The residents have some form of entertainment nearly every afternoon and are encouraged to join in. All in all, I don't think we could have found a better care home for my aunt to reside in. We have peace of mind and can rest assured that she is well looked after in her 99th year.

It is Friday 10th February 2017 and my third visit to my Auntie this week.
On entering the spacious reception area, the door is opened by staff. Roomy and bright with easy chairs. I am signed in and in the TV lounge give a greeting to residents who I have got to know.
Onto the conservatory which is
spacious and also roomy and bright.
My Auntie is knitting - a new venture - which is excellent to my mind.
10.30 am is a tea or coffee break with biscuits which are taken around.
The staff take orders for tea, breakfast and lunch the following day.
It is then the crossword before lunch.
Everyone is encouraged to participate but no pressure. There's much more.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.772)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.772) 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 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.772 for Tynwald Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (143 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.772
  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 15 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 15 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.
