Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Unfortunately, there are too many care homes that fall beneath acceptable standards for our loved ones. Menwinnion is not one of them. In my opinion care homes are the last homes for the people we once had in our lives, letting them go, to be cared for by others is a truly scary time. Menwinnion has
allowed me to hand over my mother in desperate circumstances knowing she is now safe and cared for 24/7.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
In the last seven months with the exception of two days I have spent all of my time in three NHS hospitals and two care homes. The staff and management I have met at Menwinnion have all been with the only very occasional exception, kind, helpful and attentive and as a group of people made my life far
happier than anywhere else. It is my wish that I will remain here.

My father has been in Menwinnion since 30/04/2022. He is being cared for so well, we cannot thank the staff at Menwinnion enough. we know that he is well-supported there. He is loved by everyone as he is such a character. The staff keep him clean, fed, watered, pain-free, safe and loved and we are grateful
for this. We are so glad that he has such an excellent place to stay as we couldn't look after him with Alzheimers.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My experience of Menwinnion is excellent. The staff and management are respectful, kind and caring to the residents and do their utmost to keep them calm and happy in a person-centred way.
When Mum needed to go into care, it was such a difficult time, but decision-making was made easier because of
the support we received from the team, helping us to understand every step of the process. Mum was fully involved, given informed choices and asked about how she wanted to be supported in the future when she became less independent. The fact that she could take her beloved cat also made a huge difference to her wellbeing. Mum's dementia has, at times, taken some cruel twists, but the staff adapt to these changes by offering more intensive support to ensure she maintains her dignity. Any concerns about changes to her health are always shared with me and followed up.
I can't thank Menwinnion enough for what they do for my Mum and for how they support us both through the dementia journey.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our Uncle was resident in Menwinnion Country House for three years until he sadly passed away this year. During that time, we could not fault the care he was given, and particularly so when his health was very poor and his quality of life extremely limited. All the staff came across as warm, thoughtful
and genuinely caring. As we all lived some distance away, we were very reassured to know that he was in such good, safe hands.
Reply from David Mcinulty, Director at Menwinnion Country House Care Home

Thank you for your kind words at this sad time. Your uncle will be missed.

Menwinnion was always a homely and friendly place with a cheerful and positive atmosphere. The staff were attentive, kind and caring to both my mum and me as a visitor. Mum was treated with respect and the staff spoke knowledgeably about mum without prompting. I feel she had excellent care right up
to her death.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My friend is not the most friendly person and has always told people to their face what she thinks of them, this at times is very embarrassing.
She often says she hates the place she is in and when we talk it through it's the best place in the world and the service is better than she gets at a top
class hotel.
She has lost a lot of weight since being at Menwinnion but is a very fussy eater.
One thing I would like to see is a hand towel and flannel in her room for her hands to be washed after she has been put on the commode.
Staff and management are very good. Problems get sorted.

The staff at Menwinnion were extremely helpful and welcoming and went the extra mile to make my husbands stay very comfortable. He thoroughly enjoyed his two weeks respite. The food was excellent and the surroundings attractive and very relaxing. I feel very confident in leaving him in this well staffed
and well-equipped care home.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.523)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.523) out of 10 for Menwinnion Country House Care 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.723 for Menwinnion Country House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (72 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 94 Ratings = 4.723
  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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Menwinnion Country House Care Home is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 8 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.
