Danesbrook House

Danesbrook is a wonderful home and it’s staff are lovely. I would highly reccomend it to everyone. Yay

Danesbrook House is a very caring and well-run home. The staff and management are very helpful and carry out their duties in a caring and professional manner in what is sometimes difficult circumstances. The home is always very clean and tidy and there are various activities and entertainment provided. I would not hesitate to recommend Danesbrook House.

My mother was extremely anxious and unwell when she went to live in Danesbrook House. The staff there have played a huge part in transforming her to a well, content, smiling, calm and generally, considering her illness, very happy person. They have taken the time to get to know her well and tailor her care to her wishes and temperament. Her family could not ask for better care.

The staff not only looked after Mum, they also gave love and support to the family and we will never be able to thank them enough. I would recommend well. Yes, we have all put our names down for the future.

Danesbrook has a very homely atmosphere. All the residents are well looked after by caring and considerate staff. Rooms are well maintained.

We are grateful for their efforts to make mum's life as enjoyable as possible.

Danesbrook House is very efficiently run. The carers are kind and competent and treat the residents with respect and appropriately for their needs. There is a homely feel to the premises and the residents can bring their own furniture and personal possessions with them which helps to orient them when they first arrive. There is a close contact with the Hospital Mental Health Unit which facilitated a swift change of medication when this was required. As the daughter of a resident I was able to visit day or night at my own convenience and was always made to feel welcome and when my mother suddenly deteriorated and needed end of life care she was allowed to remain in her room with district nurse care and family present. This made what was of course a distressing time bearable and even uplifting given the fact that my siblings and I were able to spend the last few days of my mothers life at her side and helping to care for her. The staff couldn't have been kinder.

I am very happy to warmly recommend Danesbrook House where my nonagenarian aunt spent the last four years of her life in a warm, comfortable, friendly and secure environment.

Danesbrook House is always spotlessly clean and my aunt, who had lost the physical ability to perform her own ablutions and to dress herself, was always very clean and presentable.

The meals at Danesbrook are nutritious, generous in portions and always extremely well prepared and presented. Refreshments and beverages are available throughout the day. Nobody at Danesbrook - including visitors - will be hungry or thirsty.

In performing their, at times very demanding, duties the staff succeed in combining a high level of professionalism with a friendly informality. My aunt was always treated with dignity, respect and patience.

There is a wide range of activities available throughout the day. My aunt particularly enjoyed painting and the staff went well beyond the call of duty in assisting her in this activity.

My aunt lived at Danesbrook House for the last 7 years of her life. Whenever I visited I always found the staff to be helpful, happy and enjoying their job. My aunt often said to me that she was so happy in choosing Danesbrook House. In my opinion, one of the reasons is that there are only 23 residents and therefore they are all 'part of the family'. The staff at Danesbrook House do not leave within a year or so. Many have been there for over 10 years - some for a lot longer and that I think is a great advert for the way the home is run by the management. If you are considering a residential home within the Cardiff area then do please take the time to visit Danesbrook House and see for yourself the attentive and caring way the residents are made to feel.

I have no hesitation in recommending Danesbrook. My mother was a resident for seven years and was very happy there, and was made to feel special and always felt safe and secure. Management and staff are very caring and couldn't do enough for my mother. She was always treated with respect and dignity. The home is spotlessly clean with residents rooms cleaned daily; the meals are good and nutritious and my mother always looked forward to mealtimes. She thoroughly enjoyed the activities (quizzes, bingo etc) and loved the music/singing sessions. We, as a family appreciate all that Danesbrook did for our mother.
