Our mother has been living at Coed Craig for around 12 months now, and we have nothing but good things to say about our experience here. The environment is so homely and clean. The food/menu choice is tailored for the individual and of very high quality/standard. Activities are arranged to suit the
residents, and there is always something going on. Finally, Coed Craig's amazing staff/caregivers/admin/housekeeping/chaplain are all so kind, friendly, and approachable. We can't thank you enough.

Coed Craig is a lovely care home where all the residents are well looked after and treated with the utmost respect and dignity. The caregivers are wonderful—so patient, loving, and kind. The home organises a variety of activities, including Music Therapy and armchair exercises, to help stimulate the
residents mentally and physically. I have peace of mind knowing that my mum is safe.

Mum receives good personalised care at Coed Craig. All the staff are very caring & are well trained in caring for my elderly Mum with Alzheimer's.
The food is good quality, delicious & varied and the bedrooms & communal areas are spotlessly clean and well maintained.
There are activities planned
every day, and my mum particularly enjoys music therapy.
As a family, we all feel that her best interests are always considered.

Mum is a long term resident at Coed Craig, and there have been a couple of issues in the past, but these have been promptly and adequately investigated, and measures for her safety put in place. Staff have come and gone over the years, but mostly have been very good and caring with Mum. My brother and

My mother has been a resident of Coed Craig for 18 months and has settled in well given she had lived independently until her admission.
The care she receives is excellent and she has a good rapport with all staff who seem to enjoy talking to her and having a laugh when appropriate. Her room is always
clean and tidy thanks to the staff, and her clothes are laundered regularly and I believe my mother gets support to pick appropriate clothing.
The choice of food is good and my mother has maintained her weight so she must be enjoying the food as well.
My brother and I visit the home regularly and we have a good relationship with the staff and are able to have a two way conversation if there are issues to be raised or addressed.

Reply from Karen Stanley, Home Manager at Coed Craig

I am pleased that your mother has settled well at Coed Craig. As a team we try to ensure all our residents feel at home and that they and their families can speak openly and honestly about the care they receive.

My father-in-law receives excellent care at Coed Craig. All the staff are very helpful and pleasant, approachable and friendly. Since my father-in-law has been at Coed Craig, he has totally immersed himself in the activities arranged and he is now mixing more with other residents.
The care and attention
received is very good and staff take time to interact and chat with him.

Coed Craig has a welcoming friendly atmosphere with lots of activities. However, it's difficult to be included in these when you have severe dementia and are non-mobile. The staff do their best to support everyone but it's difficult for them as they are often fully stretched dealing with residents who
need two-handed care. This leaves others alone at times.

Reply from Karen Stanley, Home Manager at Coed Craig

Thank you for review, we have a new activities co-ordinator in place, and they are looking into a variety of different activities to accommodate residents with severe dementia. If you have any suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

My mother has been in Coed Craig now for 2 years she has settled down very well and is looked after very well. The room has an en-suite which was replaced last year so is nice and modern and is a fair size with a lovely view of the garden and the sea in the distance.
The home is bright and light and
tastefully decorated.
There is a large garden with a very large fish pond for the residents to sit out in.
The food at the home is well cooked and looks appetising and my mum has gained weight while living here.
The activities the home arrange are varied and fun for the residents and they have a minibus which is used for trips out.

The staff take good care of my mother and activities are available to keep her occupied. The food is ok and the staff will accommodate me bringing an occasional curry in for her to eat as a treat to remind her of times gone by. The staff make sure she has eaten sufficiently and will give her the chocolates
we bring in as she doesn't always remember they are in her drawer. All health aspects are monitored and her needs are met.

We are always welcomed into the home. Suitable Covid precautions are taken and acted upon, either to admit us or if we have no test evidence, turned away. Care is good. GPs and hospital appointments are made and an escort is provided. Prescribed medicines are given. Food and entertainment offered to
residents offer variety and interest. Requests for beard trimming and other hygiene tasks are great. The clothing and environment are clean generally.

My father has been a resident at Coed Craig since September 2018 and I cannot fault the kindness and care given by the staff; he was seriously unwell in March 2022 and the love and attention to his needs by the staff were exemplary.
As my father is in the later stages of dementia he cannot/does not
want to participate in all the activities, but he does like the magazine; he loves any music that is laid on and can be seen tapping his hands or feet. He also enjoys the religious aspect of the home, as this was a huge part of his childhood.
Zoom calls, although frequent, during Covid times, were difficult and certainly virtual visiting is not the same for the resident or family (in my opinion).
His room is clean and tidy, the food seems plentiful; the family are always welcome to visit and the manager will discuss any issue.
Coed Craig is ''home'' for my father and the staff are his ''family'' too, so I would like to say a huge thank you to those that care for him.

Reply from Karen Stanley, Home Manager at Coed Craig

All the staff are polite and friendly, there are always activities taking place which I feel it is very important to keep minds active and physical well-being.
The home has been extremely accommodating with assistance for my father to attend my mother's funeral and individual visiting of her in a different
care home.

Coed Craig have been exceptional since Mum had to be moved after care at home became impossible. They have kept us informed at every stage of the induction process and guided us through the difficulties posed by COVID-19. In the following 6 months, mum has settled into her new home and the improvement
is noticeable, both physically and in her level of happiness. The home is always on hand to answer questions we have and their professionalism means we can relax in the knowledge that mum is being cared for in the best place.

Thank you for your kind words. The staff in Coed Craig try to make this a home from home for our residents. Hopefully with things opening up again we may soon be back to having visitors back more informally.

My mother went to live in Coed Craig in September last year in the pandemic, such a difficult time for us all as family. The help, care and kindness by the staff and chaplain at Coed Craig has been wonderful. Skype calls and FaceTime has helped us to keep in contact with our scattered family. Can't
comment on some things below because I have had limited access to the home due to the pandemic.

Reply from Karen Stanley, Home Manager at Coed Craig

Thank you for your lovely review. I understand how hard it must be for families not being able to see their loved ones but even more so for those who have come in during Covid. Hopefully, restrictions will continue to be lifted and we can welcome people back more freely.

My mum has been a resident at Coed Craig since September 2020 and she did take a few months to settle in. However, we cannot speak highly enough of the care and attention she has received from all the staff, especially during these very difficult times. In particular, and following the introduction
of the family newsletter - Famileo, where all our family and friends can post photos and messages to mum, we have noticed how she now has something to look forward to each week. Well done to the events coordinator for her unique ideas to keep all residents active and busy, such as the Italian week, the pub afternoon, Chinese New Year and very recently, Valentines Day.

My Father was a resident at Coed Craig for only 6 months before he passed away in June 2020. The care he received was of a high standard. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Dad was treated with dignity and was happy at Coed Craig. He passed away peacefully and even the undertaker commented
to me how respectful the staff had been with Dad. Completely trustworthy and a credit to the MHA Carehomes organisation.

Very well run home where residents are treated with dignity and compassion. Food, atmosphere, and staff seem genuinely happy which translates to how they deal with residents. Quite a few staff have been there years which is always a good sign. Resident Chaplin on duty three days per week and services
on a Wednesday morning and Sunday afternoon which are well attended.

Communication needs to be improved. Manager and deputy manager need to be far more visible. Shortage of staff is apparent and the turnover of staff is an issue that needs to be addressed. I was informed that no senior carer was on duty overnight (15/8/19). Is this acceptable? The newly appointed activities
organiser is to be congratulated on embarking on a much-improved programme. The chaplain is missed.

My aunt recently passed away at Coed Craig. It was the best thing being transferred back there rather than a community hospital. The staff were absolutely brilliant. She received first class care, 24 hours a day. They went above and beyond their call of duty. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They
genuinely loved and cared for her as if she was a member of their family.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.241)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.241) out of 10 for Coed Craig is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.552 for Coed Craig is calculated as follows: ( (55 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.552

  • 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 4.689 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Coed Craig 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:

    • 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 = 3.8

    • 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 9 = 0.889

  • 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.
