Gwynfa Care Home Reviews (10)
Over all time Gwynfa Care Home has 10 reviews.
The food is nice. I like living here. I like doing art and craft activities.
I like my room. The staff are nice and the food is good.
Since I came here I have been happy for the first time in my life and I feel relaxed like I've never felt before. I want to thank all of the staff for being so amazing and for caring, and the residents too.
Very good care. Good activities and day trips to shopping, garden centres and pubs. Good food and staff are helpful.
I have enjoyed it here.
I came to Gwynfa in October 2020 after a spell in hospital resulting in some problems I experienced following an eye operation. I initially spent two weeks in isolation at Gwynfa. After that, I was at first reluctant to socialise with other residents, being a bit self-conscious. In the end, I did socialise, sitting in the lounge to watch TV and eat communal meals and made several good friends. The staff have been excellent and I am satisfied with my room. I can shower by myself. I joined a trip to Barry Island and I have participated in arts and crafts sessions. I have a CD player and enjoy writing and drawing.
I love it here. The food is excellent and so is my room. I get on with the other residents and the staff.
Like the food. Like the art paintings. Like the room.
My nephew has problems but on the whole, is quite happy living in Gwynfa, hope this will carry on in the future.
Gwynfa is an excellent care home which offers a safe and secure environment for people suffering from mental health problems. It is very caring, homely and the staff are all friendly and helpful. It allows the residents to feel safe and secure whilst retaining the freedom to come and go as they please. The shops and cafes at Llanishen are only a short walk away. Varied outings and day trips are organised. There are also lots of events held at the home for the residents and their families to enjoy together. There is a friendly resident dog at the home and a dog walking rota so the residents can enjoy looking after and walking the dog which I believe is very beneficial. I would highly recommend Gwynfa to anyone who is looking for this type of care home.
