Review from C F (Wife of Resident) published on 19 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My husband was offered a place in Ael Y Bryn for respite care while I had surgery, he was booked in for two weeks a situation he was not happy with which caused him to be a bit grumpy however I found the staff to be unfailingly helpful and polite. The managers went out of their way to help when my surgery
was cancelled and we had to arrange to bring my husband home again. So instead of two weeks he was only there for two nights because of this I will not be able to complete all the questions on the questionnaire as his stay was too short but I would have no problem in recommending Ael Y Bryn.

Review from Sarah (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 April 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Outstanding service and level of care. I visit often on different days and at different times if the day and evening. I have never once seen the staff having a 'bad day' and I have seen some challenging situations, but they have always shown the highest level of professionalism, care and good humour.
I love going to visit my mum and all the other residents. It genuinely feels like 'home from home'. Mums is happy and enjoys the company of the other residents, she partakes in the myriad of activities and day trips on offer. Can't praise the home enough.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 6.9 (6.902) out of 10 for Cartref Ael-Y-Bryn is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 3.8 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 3.800 for Cartref Ael-Y-Bryn is calculated as follows: ( (8 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 10 Ratings = 3.8
  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 3.102 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cartref Ael-Y-Bryn is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 49 registered maximum number of service users is 9.8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.8 = 0.102
  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.
