The Review Score of 9.2 (maximum of 10) for Llys Hafren Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 9 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Llys Hafren Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 5 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.598 for Llys Hafren Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (66 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.598
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.625 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Llys Hafren Care Home is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 8 positive Reviews (40 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 5 Reviews ÷ 8 Target = 0.625
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

When our mother came for respite a couple of weeks ago my brother and I were very relieved but also anxious. We were unsure whether she would settle. It is obvious now that she is very happy. This is down to the wonderful staff who have created a very happy environment. Your kindness and understanding to my brother and I is also greatly appreciated.

No reservations at all in recommending Llys Hafren as a care home.
Regardless of the time of day, all the staff are welcoming, professional and friendly.
The home offers 'wrap around' support, encompassing friends, relations and residents in all aspects i.e serious issues, health and activities.

I find the staff are helpful and if you raise any concerns, they attend to and try to put right. The laundry service is the poorest and they don't seem to take care and their clothes, they look shabby quickly which makes her look a little unkept.

My husband has only been a resident for a few weeks but previous to that, he's stayed there on a weekly basis (respite). I find all the staff very friendly, helpful and caring. The home is very clean and tidy and the care they give to the residents is excellent. I would recommend to everybody.

I think Llys Hafren Care Home has a very good reputation and is a very friendly place with a good atmosphere the residents are well cared for which is very important I think.
I would definately recommend it to anyone or even come myself. It is a lovely light airy care home, the garden will look lovely in the summer when all the plants are in flower.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Roger M (Son of Resident) on Friday 18 November 2016. Relates to October 2016.
My mother is now five years younger than when she first entered Llys Hafren! The care and attention she receives is excellent. The staff are always friendly, helpful and obliging. The manager is world class as are the senior staff. I couldn't want for anything better for my mother. I have not commented on value for money. Care homes are by definition expensive to run. Like everything else in life, you get what you pay for.

I'm my Mother's nearest relative and live in Norway. I am informed straight away if something is wrong. Staff are wonderful. This is now my Mother's home and she really appreciates her care. Llys Hafren Care Home is wonderful. More homes should follow their standards in Britain and Norway.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Marilyn P (Daughter of Resident) on Wednesday 9 December 2015. Relates to November 2015.
Staff are particularly caring treating my parents with dignity. The manageress shares information in an open way and listens to any concerns. The atmosphere in the home is positive and relaxed. Activities are varied and imaginative. Rooms are clean and food is generally of a high standard. As with all organisations more training is needed for a minority of staff modelling behaviour and shadowing outstanding staff would benefit a few employees.
