We have used this care home twice for my Mother for respite and I can say that the welcome and the work the manager and staff do is excellent. They spend so much time caring for the residents and there is nothing that they won't do to make Mother's stay at the home so comfortable. Me and my family have
appreciated all they do for their residents. We were shown around, explained everything beforehand and all our questions answered. They have been very helpful and will be using this home again in the near future. Big thanks.

Very competent staff and friendly, nothing too much trouble, facilities always clean and tidy. No complaint about food or facilities from my Mother. Staff very proud of the care home. I or my family are never afraid to ask any questions and they are always answered. We feel very lucky to have found
this gem of a care home in our time of difficulty in our lives. Mum has not said anything negative, she's always said this is her 'new home' and that speaks volumes coming from my Mother.

My review is excellent staff. Also the best home in the Borough of Merthyr Tidfil.
When I arrive two days a week nothing is too much for them to give you what you want.

There are accompanied trips to hospital,

The home is not the most luxurious but the staff are very caring and helpful even with the most difficult and complex residents.
The manager is fully hands on and is the jewel in the crown of the home.

I find the Daffodil staff very competent and caring towards those they look after. There has been no problems to access visiting my mother and the environment in which they live in is very relaxed and homely.
The food is very good and the accommodation is very comfortable. Each occupant has their
own room and there is a communal lounge and restaurant are where the personnel are able to gather each day for friendship and enjoy their meals together.

My mother moved to Daffodils in May 2012 and settled in almost immediately. The staff are marvellous and the home is always clean and tidy. Interaction between staff and residents is meaningful and caring, there is a choice of menu at meal times where nutritious home cooked food is provided. My mother
had a heart attack recently resulting in a rapid decline in health which now requires the need for an EMI nursing home placement which unfortunately cannot be provided at Daffodils. My mother had a happy time whilst at Daffodils and I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a caring environment for their loved one.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.697)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.697) out of 10 for The Daffodils Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.697 for The Daffodils Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (207 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 274 Ratings = 4.697

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Daffodils Care Home is based on 22 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
