It was a pleasure from the 1st time of meeting your beautiful mum to have her in our care, and you as part of the extended Penhill family. She made us smile with her wit and dry sense of humour, her heart filled with kindness and compassion and wisdom that we all loved. She will remain forever in our hearts, as will you all. God bless.

Hey Liz, it is only ever a pleasure to care for your beautiful aunt who continues to astound us on a daily basis, a lifetime of stories, a smile on her face and always words of wisdom. She is very much loved and being able to bring her home for the last journey of her life is as much as our pleasure as it is her wishes. We are truly humbled to be able to spend time with the great lady that she is and over 100 years of stories. You are all very loved by your aunt, and we will continue to do our absolute best to keep that smile on her face. Thank you for your kind and humbling words. It means so very much to us all. Kindest regards.

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.864) out of 10 for Penhill is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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:
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
The Average Rating of 4.864 for Penhill is calculated as follows: ( (192 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 221 Ratings = 4.864
b) 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 Penhill is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
i) 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
ii) 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 19 registered maximum number of service users is 3.8, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Home Manager
Joined: 2021
With over 30 years of dedicated service in health and social care, I bring extensive experience, strong leadership, and an unwavering passion for delivering high-quality, person-centred care. As a long-standing Registered Manager, I have consistently led teams to excellence, ensuring compliance, compassion, and innovation are at the heart of every service I oversee.
Confident, independent, and highly motivated, I thrive in challenging environments and am known for my energetic and proactive approach. I continually stay up to date with changes in legislation, standards, and best practices through regular training, staff conferences, and collaboration with organisations such as the Alzheimer’s Society, AgeCymru, and the NHS.
In previous years, I was a Dementia Champion, and to this day, I remain a passionate advocate for best practice in dementia care, regularly facilitating training for staff, families, and community partners—including financial institutions—to raise awareness and improve outcomes. I also lead training in Fire Awareness, Infection Control, and the Mental Capacity Act, championing safety, compliance, and professional development.
Throughout my career, I’ve managed large, complex services—including dementia care homes and nursing facilities—delivering sustainable improvements in quality, compliance, and resident satisfaction. My leadership has been recognised at national forums, including the Care Council for Wales, and featured in published sector magazines.
I am proud of my ability to motivate teams, lead change, and ensure residents and their families are at the centre of all decision-making. Above all, I am committed to creating safe, supportive environments where dignity, respect, and choice are paramount.
Job Title: Care Manager
Joined: 2021
With over 15 years of dedicated experience in the health and social care sector, I am proud to serve as the Care Manager at Penhill Residential Home. My career has been built on a deep commitment to delivering compassionate, person-centred care and ensuring that every resident feels valued, respected, and supported.
In my current role, I work closely with the Registered Manager, supporting the operational leadership of the home and helping to maintain the highest standards of care and compliance. I lead a skilled and dedicated team, offering mentorship, training, and day-to-day guidance to ensure a positive and nurturing environment for both residents and staff. My responsibilities include overseeing daily operations, managing care plans and reviews, ensuring compliance with CQC regulations, and supporting recruitment, staff development, and rota planning.
Having progressed through various frontline and leadership roles, I bring a strong understanding of the challenges and rewards of care work.
Whether I’m supporting a new team member, resolving a resident’s concern, or stepping in to cover a shift at short notice, my approach is always hands-on, adaptable, and rooted in empathy. I take great pride in fostering a warm, inclusive, and professional care environment where staff feel empowered and residents feel truly at home.
