Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.564 for Pen-y-Garth EMI Residential & Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (97 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.564

A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.

Even though my mother has only been at Pen-y-Garth since February of this year, we cannot speak highly enough of this home. It is a very clean and friendly environment. Staff are exceptional and can't do enough for the residents. Everyone seems happy and settled there. I would recommend this care home to anyone.

Visiting my sister here today and to see how happy and well-dressed she is, it has now taken all my worries away and I can go home at peace.
I will never worry about my sister again because she is in the best place there is.
She is happy and that makes me happy.

This is an excellent home, I cannot fault it.
The staff are marvellous. I watch and observe and they are very kind. I've been coming here to visit my husband over 12 months. The manager is excellent and she always makes time to chat with me. The home is spotless the food is all home made and I have my meals with my husband. I am offered a cup of tea as soon as I arrive.

The carers are lovely and treat my mum with love and compassion. Some of the furniture is old fashioned and some reclining chairs would be useful. Mum seems happy and relaxed to be in the home.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Robert H (Husband of Resident) on Thursday 6 October 2016. Relates to September 2016.
Not a lot to say my wife has been a resident for four years and has always been treated well by staff and management she is kept clean and well fed and her needs are well provided for. She is quite fond of the staff and they, in turn, respond to that. I would be very upset if for any reason she has to be re-homed.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Janet W (Daughter of Resident) on Thursday 29 September 2016. Relates to September 2016.
For the past eleven months, my mother has been at Pen-y-Garth in Brymbo. We, as a family have seen a drastic improvement in her general health and hygiene. She has settled into what she now considers to be her home and in her words, she feels safe. This is largely due to how well the staff deal with her condition. They also give us a fantastic welcome when we visit and make us feel like part of one big happy family.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by W E (Resident) on Monday 7 December 2015. Relates to November 2015.
I'd heard of care homes but had never personally been. But having seen it for myself, it had spread from not knowing to knowing. I could not believe how warm and caring they were, straight away they were bringing me into their fold (family like) they made me feel like I was part of their family.
They could not do enough, no task was too much, there was nothing to do that was too much trouble, they gave 110% in what they were doing for you. I really wanted to stay until I was completely healed. The bedside manor was exceptionally good but I liked the way everything was a team effort. I think they fell in love wit me as I did with them. They were super.
