I cannot speak highly enough of Garnant House Care Home. From the moment you walk through the doors there is a genuine sense of warmth, kindness and professionalism that sets it apart. The staff are truly exceptional- compassionate, attentive, and always willing to go that extra mile to ensure residents
feel comfortable, respected and valued.
The environment is clean, safe and well maintained, creating a real sense of Home rather than an institution.
There is a strong focus on dignity and independence, and it's clear that each resident is treated as an individual, with their personal needs and preferences carefully respected.
Activities are thoughtfully planned , and its wonderful to see residents encouraged to stay active and socially connected. Communication with the family is also excellent, offering reassurance and peace of mind.
Knowing that our mother is in such capable caring hands makes all the difference and i would highly recommend this Care Home to anyone. It's amazing.
Reply from Kelly McNeish, Registered Manager at Garnant HouseThank you very much for your lovely words. The staff work so hard to provide a warm and welcoming environment for our Residents and I am so grateful that their commitment and passion is recognised. I agree that their willingness to go the extra mile is evident and we are proud to support the wonderful people that live with us.

Garnant House is an excellent care home. My mother is treated so well there. The staff are kind, helpful, efficient and always go out of their way to support my mother. Rooms are spotless, my mother is always treated with respect and compassion. Both the management and staff are extremely approachable.
If anything is needed, we are happy to ask and it is always done immediately. We visit very often and everyone is so friendly, it's a pleasure to go there. As a family, we feel very grateful and pleased that our mother has such wonderful care.

From entering the home you feel a warmth and homely atmosphere. Staff are professional yet friendly, caring and fun to be with. Owners and staff will go the extra mile to maintain residents' dignity. The standard of cleanliness in the home is of my home which is a really compliment. The open door policy
with visitors is much appreciated. I am a registered general nurse and have worked in many care homes but nothing compares to this outstanding home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Although my aunt was brought into this home in very difficult circumstances, we as a family have observed on very many occasions that she hit the jackpot in terms of landing here with the wonderful care, dignity and friendliness she has received whilst in this home. Each carer has a wonderful, caring
attitude towards her as well as us during our visits (always unannounced) to find her clean and very well cared for. Although she is now receiving palliative care, we witness she is treated with wonderful respect and the greatest dignity.

My father had been in Garnant House for almost 5 years.
He loved it from day one. The staff were so caring and kind and loved him to bits.
Unfortunately, his health deteriorated over the past week and he passed away on 19th October.
The care given to him was second to none.
Thank you all.

Extremely caring staff, lovely that many can converse with my grandmother in Welsh. They take pride in her appearance and bedroom. The food is of high standard. Excellent communication with medical staff - I feel that my grandmother is very safe there. My grandmother has settled in well there and is
very happy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We had to choose a care facility “blind” when my father needed residential care, due to the Covid restrictions. Today was the first day I actually visited Dad indoors, and it confirmed that we could not have chosen better than Garnant House. Now that I have seen inside Garnant House, I can see that
it is clean and tidy, with everything my dad needs. In the time Dad has been at Garnant House, I have got to know the senior staff and have become aware that Dad has become one of the Garnant House family - the care given is better than our family could hope to give. I cannot praise them highly enough and would like to express my thanks to all at Garnant House.

My mother has been at Garnant House for nine months. I am pleased with her care.
It has been a difficult time due to Covid restrictions. The care home has not had a resident with Covid which speaks volumes.
Rooms are clean. Staff are attentive. Mother seems very happy and content at Garnant House.
Excellent homemade food. Thank you lovely carers.

When my mother was in the home she was very happy and we were very happy with the care my mother had. She passed away in the home after about six years. My mother always said to me how excellent the care was. If I was old this is where I would like to spend my last years. Thank you to all of the staff

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.621)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.621) out of 10 for Garnant House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 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 4.921 for Garnant House is calculated as follows: ( (93 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 101 Ratings = 4.921
  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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Garnant House is based on 9 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.7
    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 21 registered maximum number of service users is 4.2, which has been reached with 9 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.
