Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A massive thank you to all at Llys Cyncoed for the exceptional level of care and support given to my parents over the last five years. I cannot praise the team highly enough for the loving and welcoming environment they create for residents and their visitors. Accommodation, facilities and housekeeping
are all to a very high standard and the quality of food is excellent. There are numerous social activities and trips for those who wish to participate but there is no pressure to join in for those who prefer to live more independently. The team frequently go the extra mile to fulfil the preferences of individual residents and adapt to their changing needs. My parents came to regard many of the staff as friends and I was always grateful for the support provided to me as a family member and the welcome I was offered whenever I called in or visited. I have nothing but praise for the staff and would not hesitate to recommend Llys Cyncoed to prospective residents and their families.

My wife has been a resident in the secure accommodation for nearly 5 years. I have nothing but praise and admiration for the work that the staff do. In 5 years there has only been one hiccup which was swiftly dealt with.
The ambience, food and facilities are excellent. IT's expensive but the extra
cost over the other other facilities available in the area is , if it can be afforded , well worth while.

What a truly fantastic care home. We are thrilled that our family member has settled so well and that is truly down to the dedication of all staff members. Everyone contributes to make the residents and families feel that Llys Cyncoed is genuinely a home from home. Of course the building is superb but
it's the people who make this place so special. I would have no hesitation in recommending Llys Cyncoed to anyone. You really do go the extra mile, a huge thank you to you all. If family members are considering a care home, Llys Cyncoed is a definite, you will not be disappointed.

We couldn't have found a nicer care home for Mum. It's like moving in with a big friendly family! Mum's been here for a year now and there's always plenty to do every day from puzzles, number games, bingo, flower arranging, cinema and even in-house singers and musicians every week. Mum especially enjoys
trips out on the minibus and still gets in some retail therapy at the shops every so often! Mum's made lots of friends, enjoys nutritious homemade food and makes use of the lovely garden. The staff at all levels at Llys Cyncoed are very professional, friendly and approachable, nothing is too much trouble, their priority is the resident's happiness. The social areas are perfect, open plan but split into a Bistro area for coffee and cakes, the parlour for TV and relaxing and the restaurant where tables are beautifully dressed and an upstairs room also used for activities and to watch films. There's a family room for special occasions but Llys Cyncoed love an excuse to have a party for everyone.

My mother has been in residence for almost a year now. Both the facilities and level of care have been excellent. There are plenty of options with regards to activities, both on and off-site and the ratio of resident to staff means there is someone on hand at short notice to help. The food is generally
excellent and the menu is varied, there are also plenty of other options available outside of meal time.

Since Mum arrived at Llys Cyncoed in mid-July, she has become so relaxed and secure. The staff have engaged with her in a way that lets her feel a part of the home and not just a resident. She is thriving as our family had hoped for.
The surroundings, the food, and the atmosphere are truly enabling.

From my first visit, I have been impressed by the professionalism of all staff, the quality of the care provided to my mother and the evident warmth and concern shown to residents and family members.
The facilities, environment, food and services offered are exceptional. My mother is a much happier
person after only a few weeks in Llys Cyncoed.

My Dad has been a resident at Llys Cyncoed Care home for two years. The staff are totally dedicated and caring. My Dad has Parkinson's and so he requires quite a lot of personal care which I have found to be carried out in a very professional and caring manner. The resident comes first. I have been
contacted by the staff immediately when Dad was taken ill and an ambulance was called. Lovely staff stayed with Dad the entire time. I have regular contact about any updates on Dad which is helpful. The staff organise lots of social activities and trips out so there is something for everyone. Dad particularly enjoys the quizzes and giant crossword. There is live sport televised so you never miss out on a game, a Wimbledon final or the Olympics. There is a lovely garden too which Dad has been able to enjoy at times. I can't fault this care home for Dad. I know he is in caring and expert hands so I can rest easy. Thank you to all the great staff at Llys Cyncoed.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister has spent most of her days at Llys Cyncoed and as I live in Canada the feedback and details were very comforting for me.
Though far away I had video calls set up with no hesitation from staff which was great. I have had the opportunity over the last 12 months to spend quite a lot in there
up until my mom's passing (the staff were amazing). Seeing for myself Llys Cyncoed is immaculate from the inside out the decor is outstanding and an atmosphere of warmth. In saying all this it goes much deeper it's the core of which is the staff. They are the most genuine loving and caring that I have met from concierge to management and staff in all departments which for me was the most important factor for which I am deeply thankful. My mom was on the terrace (dementia floor) she was very respected and loved as all other residents. It's a very difficult and emotional time to place a loved one in a home I would highly recommend this care home without any hesitation!

Llys Cyncoed has lived up to my hopes and expectations; primarily, that my mother, who has Alzheimer’s, is cared for with dignity, professional expertise and kindness.
In addition, I enjoy being there. The minute you walk through the door you feel welcome and part of a community, thanks to all the
staff who contribute to the care home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My parents initially attended respite care due to their recent ill health. They are being so well looked after and supported and cared for that they have now decided to remain as permanent residents, and are thriving from the care provided. The move from a temporary to permanent resident was conducted
by the Home very easily and the family kept informed of the process. It is wonderful that this home allows married couples to stay together as my parents have been together for over 60 years and would not want to be separated. They are in their own room and can also mix with other residents socially. They recently celebrated their wedding anniversary and the home made a lovely celebration for them. The home is providing excellent care for both of them and the family is now less stressed and are more at ease. So it is not only the residents that benefit but also their families as well.

I have found all staff very professional they have gone out of their way to include my mother in the Lys Cyncoed family. They are all very accommodating and nothing is too much trouble for them they make the time to listen to any concerns you have and act upon them. This makes me reassured that my mother
is receiving the best care she could possibly have.

I can’t speak highly enough about Llys Cyncoed. From our first phone call with them, at what was a very stressful time, through the transition into the home and our experience since Dad moved in have been outstanding.
We thought we had found a ‘home from home’ for my dad and we haven’t been disappointed.
The staff are caring, professional, very knowledgeable about dementia and have gone out of their way to welcome Dad and us as his family.

My mum has been at Llys Cyncoed for nine months now with declining memory due to dementia. The team have been wonderful at supporting her in assisted living and thereby preserving a quality of life that was just not available in other homes - I looked at eleven other care homes across South Wales and
none came up to the standard of people, accommodation or pastoral care that Llys Cyncoed provides. The open plan entrance way - with exceptionally high standards of decoration, a bistro with tea, coffee, cakes and snacks always available, television room and always things happening, has meant that Mum can sit there watching the world go by (and let's be honest, being nosy!), doing crosswords with other residents and feeling like she is in the land of the living. I feel that the receptionists are the rock of this home - they all keep an eye on every resident and if Mum is feeling a bit blue - they cheer her up or distract her. Thank you ladies, from the bottom of our hearts.

I had the task of finding a care home for my elder sister, who has Alzheimer's, in June 23. Llys Cynoed has been just the most amazing place. From the initial approach, they have been superb. The staff are unbelievable in their care, and the dedication they give is just beyond what we could have expected.
My
sister is so happy and settled now; it's an absolute joy and relief to see her so happy and content and, most of all, being safe and cared for.
I honestly can not recommend them, and indeed Care UK highly enough - just brilliant!
She is now living her best life possible, and for us, we can at last be sure she is safe and cared for in the most fantastic care home we had the good fortune to find.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.952)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.952) out of 10 for Llys Cyncoed is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.952 for Llys Cyncoed is calculated as follows: ( (258 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 271 Ratings = 4.952
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Llys Cyncoed is based on 23 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 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
    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 99 registered maximum number of service users is 19.8, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.

Carley Hunt

Job Title: General Manager

I have worked in care since 2011 and now hold a level five diploma in health and social care. I have also completed several other courses that have helped me work my way up from care assistant through to my current role as home manager.


I chose to work for Care UK specifically, because of its commitment to providing person-centred care. As an organisation, it values continuous development, teamwork and compassion. There is also a strong framework of support for anyone that wants to progress in their career.


A good home manager must be highly organised and be genuinely committed to delivering the highest standards of care. Patience, empathy, leadership skills and excellent communication are all equally important.


There are so many highlights to my role, and I take great pride in ensuring Llys Cyncoed is a warm, inclusive and safe environment for residents and colleagues. I feel privileged that I have been promoted to manager in a home where I have grown professionally over the last ten years.


One of my favourite parts of the day is the time I spend with residents. I always make sure to join in the daily anagrams challenge. As well as testing my word-puzzle skills, interacting with residents helps me better understand the support they need.


Taking time to be with residents is also a great reminder of why I chose a career in care – which was to make a positive difference in people’s lives.


Most of my time outside of work is joyfully filled by my two young children. I enjoy reading, going for walks in nature and along the beach. I also have a newly found hobby of buying houseplants.
