Review from G S (Niece of Resident) published on 26 July 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care my aunt receives is excellent. When she was taken poorly staff got in touch with us straight away to let us know the situation and kept us informed. This is a great comfort to us as we are sixty miles away. The care she receives from everyone is excellent. She is treated with such care and
respect. The home is spotlessly clean - so nice to visit somewhere that doesn't smell. The food looks delicious. The staff are always welcoming and friendly. So pleased that Cartref Dyfi Care Home is my aunt's home now.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As ever, the care my great-aunt receives is excellent. She was taken poorly and staff phoned us straight away to let us know the situation and what was happening living over sixty miles away, this makes a huge difference. The care she receives from the staff is excellent. Everyone at the home treats
her with respect and dignity. The home is spotlessly clean, the food is delicious and all the staff are welcoming and friendly - whether management or maintenance. Hooray for Cartref Dyfi Care Home.

Review from Andrea P (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 July 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been at Cartref Dyfi Care Home due to the house being adapted following leg amputation. As a family, we have nothing but praise for all management and staff. They have treated my mother with dignity at all times and nothing has ever been too much trouble. Food and cleanliness are all of
a high standard. I would not hesitate to recommend Cartref Dyfi to anyone looking for somewhere for their family members.

Review from P L (Son of Resident) published on 27 November 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was cared for at Cartref Dyfi Care Home for four years. As one would expect the staff were helpful and efficient. However, above all, they were caring and created a family feeling amongst themselves and the residents. I was always welcomed and kept informed of any welfare or health concerns
about my mother. Thank you all.

Review from Angie (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 August 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been resident at this care home for about 5 years now. She arrived with very mild dementia, which has progressed over the years. The staff have always been very attentive and treated her with dignity and respect. Nothing has been too much trouble for the manager or her staff. They often
go the extra mile - over and above the call of duty. The first thing my mother said when she arrived was how lovely the food was. She still tells me how much she enjoys it now. I am always made welcome and greeted with a warm smile when I visit her. I would certainly recommend this home to anyone. It is a great comfort to know that my mother is being looked after so well in my absence. I cannot imagine that she could get any better care anywhere else. A big thank you to the manage and all the staff.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.866)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.866) out of 10 for Cartref Dyfi Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.866 for Cartref Dyfi Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (123 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.866
  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 Cartref Dyfi Care Home is based on 12 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 12 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.
