Staff generally are good. The decoration is generally poor and depressing. Seating is appalling in communal areas. There is little or no encouragement for residents to take exercise e.g. in the garden where possible. Other activities can be good, but not often.
Why does Sunrise have a food hygiene
rating of only 3?

Reply from Sara Reading, General Manager at Llys Cyncoed

We are disappointed to receive this feedback. As our residents, their families and friends already know, Sunrise of Cardiff is being refurbished and this will provide new furniture, seating and décor throughout the home. Every resident has a personal care plan tailored to their individual needs and preferences. We encourage our residents to participate in the many activities and trips we offer. However, we respect individual choice if a resident does not wish to take part.

My father has been a resident for the last two and a half years. He has a large and light room, furnished with many of his own items, The public rooms are spacious, with a number of small areas for more personal meetings. Meals are good with plenty of variety. My father particularly enjoys the trips
out in the minibus, usually three times per week. But most importantly, the staff are excellent, kind, friendly and always with enough time, never hurried.

My mother regards Sunrise as her home which is a testament in itself. The home has made significant improvements in the last 12 months and it is hoped that these will continue under the new general manager.

Generally very pleased with the service and the caring and friendly environment. The staff are very supportive and my mother seems to enjoy the family type feeling in the Reminiscence (Dementia) section and is often smiling and having fun and is having a new lease of life. She enjoys the trips out to
various locations in the Cardiff area and the staff always seem to vary the entertainment provided.

Health issues have made the past few weeks very challenging for my stepmother.

Sunrise staff have cared for my mother whose dementia is accelerating fast. They have carried this out so caringly and professionally that she and I have only good words for them. She has had health concerns addressed with great sensitivity, physical needs gently cared for, while preserving her sense
of dignity too. Everything possible has been done to engage her in all activities that she is capable of.

Sunrise Senior Living Cardiff provides a truly excellent service all around. The location, property and grounds are very well presented and maintained to a high standard. Accommodation standards are very high and clean looking. The staff are very friendly and willing to help others needs. Meal times
are very prompt and a varied choice according to the nutritional needs of the resident. The activities are very well thought of and provision of a minibus for regular excursions to surrounding areas and attractions.


It is reassuring than your loved ones are well looked after which in return is less stress on the family.

The residence is clean and welcoming with a large variety of activities for residents. The whole staff are caring and friendly. The senior staff are extremely helpful and understanding with a residents individual needs. All carers are well trained and keep relatives informed about any changes affecting
residents. All of the staff are very resident focussed and encourage residents to try activities that may not have been considered in the first instance.
The whole place really feels like home and addresses all an individual's needs.

This home is beautiful. Staff are beyond excellent and the facilities and caring are wonderful. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they care about the family of the resident. I can't wait until I reach the age where I can qualify to move in.

My aunt had to be admitted to hospital and during the course of her stay lost almost all of her mobility. All of the care team at Sunrise worked extremely hard firstly liaising with the hospital and subsequently put in place an augmented care regime. My aunt is now back in Sunrise and has recovered
all her original mobility.

After visiting this care home on many occasions prior to my mother moving from respite care into a permanent, I can honestly say I am extremely pleased this is now her home. The exceptional assistance from both management and carers is outstanding.


Very clean, listen and very obliging to making

sure mum is comfortable and that we are all working together.


This care home has everything, in-house pets (mum is an animal lover), in-house hairdresser, GP comes to the home weekly, Optician is available upon request.


In my opinion management, and carers have asked all the right questions and most importantly have listed to me when I have needed to convey information.


The carers who deal direct with mum, all know me and now getting to know mum. It is almost like an extended family.


Rooms are spacious with lovely views.


The day trips are an added bonus as they have their own minibus.


I really want to say a huge thank you to staff.

My parents (96 and 97) have different needs, assisted living and nursing, having different care workers and nurses for them is a problem good that they are in the same room. Garden not very accessible. Accommodation and activities excellent. Food excellent. Care a bit hit and miss at times but probably
better than most homes. Staff very accessible and nice atmosphere concierge system excellent.

My experience of Sunrise Senior Living, I would describe as excellent.
As a regular visitor, I have found the staff very helpful and my friend has been treated, since arrival, with dignity.
I would recommend Sunrise Senior Living to anyone considering residential care.

My father stayed here only for a short time between November 2016 and March 2017. The care he received from day one was excellent. The facilities were of a very high standard, although he didn't have much chance to use them, in the last few weeks he became very ill and the care and compassion shown
to him by all levels of staff was amazing. I can't thank you all enough, a highly recommended place on behalf of the rest of dad's family. We can't thank you enough!!

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.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 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 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:

  • a) 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

  • 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 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:

    • 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 99 registered maximum number of service users is 19.8, which has been reached with 23 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.

Regulatory Rating

Care Inspectorate Wales is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in Wales.

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.
