Review from Kate F (Friend of Resident) published on 20 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having viewed 3 other care homes before Bryn y Mor, I have never regretted the decision to place my friend (for whom I have POA) in Bryn y Mor. It is almost 3 years since my friend became residents, and after the initial settling down she has been as happy here as she could possible be.
My overriding
view of Bryn y Mor is of the cleanliness and friendliness of the place, and the carers are absolutely wonderful. They show a heartwarming level of genuine care, compassion, and respect.
When my friend returned from a couple of days in hospital recently, she was greeted ack by the staff as if she were family. Definitely the right choice of care home.
Reply from Amanda Rutter, Manager at Bryn y Mor

Thank you for your loving and supporting comments. We appreciate all your support you give to your friend, also that you appreciate what the staff do, that means so much to all of us

Review from M M (Sister of Resident) published on 7 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My brother needs 24 hour care & I searched lots of different care homes for dementia. Which just wasn't suitable at all.
I visited Bryn y Mor & found exactly what my brother needed.
They allowed me to change the room to suit my brother & make everything similar to his previous flat. He instantly
settled in like home from home.
If I ever phone to ask to help him with his phone & TV they go above & beyond to help him.
The staff are all very friendly & the floor manager always deals with any concerns you have & puts your mind at rest.
I never wanted my brother to go into care but it's the best decision I made choosing Bryn Y Mor.
Thank you to all the staff.

Review from A J (Relative of Resident) published on 1 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our relative has settled well in Bryn y Môr where the staff are caring, kind and sensitive to her needs. Within the first fortnight of being at Bryn y Môr, she has improved rapidly with her physical ability from being totally unable to move or stand independently, to by now getting up from her chair
and walking with the aid of a frame with the staff being always caring, available to assist and responsive to her needs.
She enjoys listening to the musical entertainment and activities provided.
We are always felt welcome when visiting and know that we would be able to approach any member of staff for information or advice if the need arises. The Home is always clean and tidy and with magnificent views.

Review from B B (Friend of Resident) published on 4 October 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Food still inadequate, one fish finger for lunch today (9th September).
Men wandering the corridor still opening the door and sometimes coming in and frightening her.
She sees no one apart from when they bring food and drink, unless she buzzes but then she has opted to stay in her room.
She was
recently poorly and antibiotics didn't seem to be working and she felt no one was listening to her.
She worried that there was not a qualified nurse onsite so felt unsafe.
When I take her food, she seems to think people (who?) take it, I don't know if this is the case or not.
Staff seem lovely.
Reply from Amanda Rutter, Manager at Bryn y Mor

Deeply saddening to receive this review. Management is always available to discuss any concerns, be it either face to face or via email and staff are also very approachable. Firstly thank you for bringing in items that the individual liked as well as their food supplied by BYM, in regards to 1 fish finger, this would not have been served unless the individual had specified they'd only wanted 1, as they were always approached before each meal to ask what they wanted, incorporating what had been brought in special for them by visitors, which would have been stored in the fridge/kitchen as per food hygiene, and they would have received them as they would have their name on them. In regards man wandering into her room, this did happen and the man was reviewed and moved elsewhere. We are a residential home, however, staff are aware when individuals are ill and concerns are always acted on immediately all of which is all documented. District Nurses and GP input is also regular.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The staff at the care home are great but there's simply not enough employed to run the operation effectively. There are times when residents walk into other people's rooms, which is not good. Consequently, this has resulted in property going missing. I'm always made to feel welcomed when I visit my
mother and this is truly very much appreciated. It's such a shame that there's not enough staff employed, as the staff work really hard to try and cover the shortfalls. I would like to express my gratitude and thanks to all at the care home.
Reply from Amanda Rutter, Manager at Bryn y Mor

Thank you for your review, also for your kind comments regarding how hard the staff at Bryn Y Mor do work. It is unfortunate that Dementia can affect the way in which any individual with it reacts from day to day and also how they respond in their home environment. Bryn Y Mor endeavours to meet all our resident's individual needs. Some properties that are reported to have gone missing, are often found to have been moved or misplaced. The Manager has an open door policy and is happy to discuss any concerns as soon as practicably possible to deal with any situation that arises.

Bryn Y Mor is a lovely care home. Residents are well cared for and staff are warm and kind. It's set in a beautiful location and is clean and well-maintained. There are some extra activities like fitness classes. The manager responds quickly to emails and is helpful. Mum has a lovely room with en-suite.

My sister is happy at the care home and eating a lot better and always clean. Only negative thing is she is not always wearing her own clothes in her wardrobe. The staff are always friendly and helpful. I think some of the residents should go sit in the sun and get fresh air.

Lovely place with amazing views. Always clean and tidy, Mum seems settled here (Alzheimer's), beds are changed regularly, washing done daily. Very happy to have Mum closer to me now. Staff are always very pleasant and helpful, nothing is too much bother for them. My only minor issue is no landlines
to individual rooms, Mum has a mobile but is always fiddling with it and turning if off (the staff are good about turning it back on!)

This is a lovely place with very good staff. Mum in law is 82 & has dementia, she is happy here & is well looked after, always clean & tidy, hair & nails done regularly. The staff banter with her which is what she likes, but I have also seen them with other residents & they are all treated well & with
respect. They have regular entertainment here & the odd day out, they have a trip to Pringles coming up in August. They keep us informed when Mum in law is not well & have the doctor out to visit if necessary. As a family we are happy with the care received & would highly recommend Bryn Y Mor.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.435)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.435) out of 10 for Bryn y Mor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.435 for Bryn y Mor is calculated as follows: ( (88 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 147 Ratings = 4.435
  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 Bryn y Mor is based on 11 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 27 registered maximum number of service users is 5.4, which has been reached with 11 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.
