Pontcanna House is an excellent care home run by professionals. I have been living here for the past five years. I have a beautiful bedroom overlooking a roof garden. I am Greek and I love cooking. I am able to cook once a week at least under supervision. Everybody compliments on my Greek cooking from
staff and residents. We all live as a family in Pontcanna House very happy.

My aunt has been Pontcanna House for about 9 months, and I have been very pleased with the care she has received. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and there is always a good atmosphere about the place.

Whenever I visit the atmosphere is electric. Residence and staff are always pleased to see you are very happy and content. Santa came today and every person had a lovely present and everyone had a little dance all be it some in their chairs.

My mother has been a resident for almost four years. Throughout her time at Pontcanna House the owners and care staff have done everything they can to ensure her happiness and wellbeing as well as looking after her physical and medical needs. As her dementia has worsened her care plan has been reviewed
and changed so that all her needs are met. Her personal dignity and wishes are always considered and the staff do all that they can to keep her safe, well fed, looking smart and they encourage her interest in all forms of music. My family and I are very pleased with the care my mother receives.

Always immaculate facility. Staff both competent and caring in every respect. Everytime I visit (weekly) my mother it always smells fresh as one enters the building. My mother always looks well and is treated with the utmost care and dignity at all times.

I have been visiting Pontcanna House for the past five years. My friend had been in several homes before this one, but this is the first she felt safe and secure in. The support and care she receives is wonderful because of her condition she is not the easiest of people to deal with. She is always treated
with respect and dignity. The food is excellent and if she doesn't like something the cook will prepares something specially for her. The home is spotlessly clean and the linen fresh and clean. They have entertainment every week with activities every afternoon. Hopefully I will not have to go to a home but if I did I would stay there without any hesitation.

My husband responded well to the warm family atmosphere of Pontcanna House from his first day. He clearly felt at ease with the cheerfulness of all the staff and enjoyed their friendship. The care and affection shown by the manageress is evidently adopted by all staff. It is truly a family and a real
home for the residents.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.977)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.977) out of 10 for Pontcanna House Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.977 for Pontcanna House Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (129 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.977

  • 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 Pontcanna House Ltd is based on 11 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 11 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.
