After many anxious months it was such a relief that our friend arrived at this wonderful caring place. A degree of independence without responsibility. The staff are welcoming and the other residents always seem relaxed and happy. I have confidence in her care and well-being. Diolch yn fawr am eich gofal.
When the lockdown started in March due to Covid 19, the staff at Llys Elian have been working long hours and looking after everyone there so well it's as if they are family. They know it is so difficult with my mums family not being able to visit, but they have kept my mum busy with singalongs, pampering days and a celebration of VE Day with a garden party which she heartily enjoyed as her memory does remember what she was doing that particular day. The staff have kept us updated by photographs and also video chats, which as I live overseas I was so grateful for, to actually see my mother looking so well eased my worries.
This is a small care home which was definitely the best choice for my mother and the staff now know my mother well and she is 'happy'.
