Staff are very friendly but too few in number. A number of residents seem to be left on their own in the lounge area - it would be nice to see staff encouraging groups to talk to the lonely ones who may need help to join in.

The social and activity side of things is a real credit to this home. Unfortunately, since requiring nursing care at a far higher cost my grandmother has experienced many problems with overstretched care staff and often bad attitudes.
Complaints to head office management were met with a lack of serious
engagement with issues of safety and care.

All the staff are warm and welcoming. Every time I come to visit my dad, nothing is too much trouble for them despite them being busy most of the time. When I leave my dad I can rest assured he is in the best place, safe well fed and secure.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My husband has been in Sunrise of Cardiff for 30 days respite when I could not longer look after him. The manager was extremely helpful in facilitating him coming to Sunrise of Cardiff, even to sending carers to visit my husband at his daughter's house where he was staying. My husband who is retired
and rather deaf found it difficult to communicate with the men on his table, who were also deaf. He is reluctant to speak to a group of women who sit in the bistro. There are very few men who socialise downstairs so he has been heavily reliant on me for company. I encourage him to join in the activities but a lot of those, especially those after supper, were not led by anyone. The concierge would pour drinks and put some music on, but 'meditation' for example was not structured or led. So activities for my husband have been disappointing. The evenings then are very long as supper is at 4.45.

It is only when visiting and having a relative to stay in residential care that you realise what an extraordinary job is done. All of the care staff here are exceptional and never have I had any concerns for my relatives safety. Not sure I can afford to move in yet!

Mum has had such a good time throughout Christmas and into the New Year, all the way through to her birthday towards the end of January. She has been fully engaged with many of the activities organised and having been at Sunrise for about six months or so, is not only mentally more alert but physically
and healthy and very content.

The general standard of Sunrise is very good. However the food is not that good when you look at the costs residents have to pay. There is a lack of quality and variety. The kitchen is closed sometimes and good quality sandwiches are not generally available. Activities are poor with no stimulation
for residents. There seems to be a lack of soft drinks and snacks available and no themed evenings arranged. The cheese and wine evenings are poor with a lack of quality and quantity.

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.

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.
