Review from Amy D (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 12 August 2021 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Awful treatment towards the end of life. They wanted to move her as she was dying and tried to get extra money from the family for her care when they had already been funded by the government. Had to locate advocates etc. A very stressful time. Management is awful but the general staff are amazing.

We want to give our deepest sympathy to you and your family on the passing of your grandmother. She lived with us here at Dan-Y-Bryn for 17 years and was part of our family. Towards your gran's end of life unfortunately her care needs increased and she needed more care than we could provide in...
We want to give our deepest sympathy to you and your family on the passing of your grandmother. She lived with us here at Dan-Y-Bryn for 17 years and was part of our family. Towards your gran's end of life unfortunately her care needs increased and she needed more care than we could provide in residential care, so qualified nurses and carers from the community visited and provided end of life care to your gran at Dan-Y-Bryn four times a day.In your review you mentioned trying to get extra money, this was discussed in a best interest meeting with the nurses and your family that if your gran was to be moved into a nursing home rather than remain in residential care the fees would be increased as fees are higher in nursing care homes.
Fortunately, your gran stayed in her home at Dan-y-Bryn and was cared for very well.
She passed away peacefully surrounded by people she knew, she had regular visits from her family who were by her bedside throughout her end of life care.

The food and hygiene are of the top order, the rooms are always clean and the laundry service is really good.
I would recommend this residential home to anyone.

Add to all that the building is being upgraded - the icing on the cake.

Some very helpful staff including managers. Unfortunately, communication and implementation of care plan between shifts and staff need to be looked at. Not acceptable to miss a dose of medication. Carers need to have training in looking after Parkinson's patients. Some have little grasp on the day...
Some very helpful staff including managers. Unfortunately, communication and implementation of care plan between shifts and staff need to be looked at. Not acceptable to miss a dose of medication. Carers need to have training in looking after Parkinson's patients. Some have little grasp on the day to day issues they face particularly those whose Parkinson's is very advanced as is the case with my father.

Overall Experience
My wife’s first involvement with The Care Home was in respite, which we found to be to her liking, so when the time came that I couldn’t cope with her at home, as I am 82, and have problems of my own. The obvious choice was the home we knew and trusted. My wife has been in the home for a year now....
My wife’s first involvement with The Care Home was in respite, which we found to be to her liking, so when the time came that I couldn’t cope with her at home, as I am 82, and have problems of my own. The obvious choice was the home we knew and trusted. My wife has been in the home for a year now. I must say that the staff and management have lived up to the reputation they have locally, especially putting the emphasis on “home”.

Overall Experience
My brother has been in Danybryn for eleven years. He settled in immediately. The facilities and staff are wonderful; as is the food and activities. He is treated as if he was family and I know he is being well looked after. Thank you Danybryn.
