Review from S P (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 February 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident at Llys Hafren for almost 5 years and has always been very happy. She has received the best care I could have wished for. It's the professionalism and dedication of the staff that makes it so special. She is treated with affection, dignity and the care and attention she
receives are excellent. It has always been a pleasure visiting Llys Hafren as all the staff are welcoming and kind. It has been an extremely difficult year, but I know mum is safe, nourished, cared for and loved. I have constantly been updated on how she is and informed of any problems. It is so assuring that she is so well cared for and I couldn't thank them enough.

I have no qualms about recommending Llys Hafren. Mum has been a resident for almost two years and ever since she moved in, has loved the environment and the atmosphere.
There's always some activity or entertainment that Mum can enjoy, and she thinks all the staff are wonderful. Of course, it's the
staff that really make it feel so welcoming. Everyone is caring and friendly, finding time to talk to and laugh with residents.
This is a heartwarming thing to witness.
From our perspective, the team that looks after our Mum have worked especially hard recently to put in place some helpful measures to assist Mum with her personal care routine.
We had some questions which were investigated, answered swiftly, and the new plan was agreed and implemented straight away.
All of the things that really impact Mum's daily quality of life and sense of well-being are being handled with great kindness and flexibility.
Well done to the manager and the team.

My mother has been a resident for the last six months and we were very pleased with her care from day one. She settled in quickly considering she is disabled (cannot walk on her own) and had lived on her own for over 35 years. During my visits, I have witnessed that the staff are very helpful and caring
towards her and the other residents.
Reply from Greta Narbutaityte, Customer Adviser at Llys Hafren Care HomeThank you for taking the time to leave your review. It is always lovely to hear from the family member being happy with the care we provide. Thank you once again for choosing Llys Hafren for your mother's care.

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.
Reply from Gabriella Mills, Customer Adviser at Llys Hafren Care HomeThank you for your review. We are pleased to hear about your positive experience and appreciate your comments of our home's staff.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.626)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.626) out of 10 for Llys Hafren Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 6 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 4.326 for Llys Hafren Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (55 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 95 Ratings = 4.326
  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 4.3 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Llys Hafren Care Home is based on 6 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 = 3.55
    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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.75
  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.
