I visit my friend from time to time when possible. I feel that she is well looked after and the care is good. She wonders a lot, but is observed and with care and dignity.

I write as a visitor. Although my Husband spent 2 years in this same care home, he had dementia and was always treated with respect. I cannot speak too highly of it. Recently my friend was admitted as she is elderly and unable to cope at home. I am pleased to say that she is very pleased with the care
she receives and she does look so much better in herself.

I moved into Trembaths Care Home three weeks ago. I am ninty one and recovering from a hospital stay and time in my own home. I only had use of my right side. Due to the first class care I have received I have slowly recovered use of my left side and I am slowly learning to walk again. I can only say
I am happier then at any other time since my illness. This care home is first class people who work here are skilled and kind, my every wish is granted. I've been helped in every way possible, my dads are filled with activities I enjoy especially the music. All my medical needs are taken care of and my visitors welcomed, I cannot speak to highly of this wonderful resource.

My mother has been at Trembaths for nearly two years since being discharged from hospital in need of nursing care and 24-hour oxygen. The care she has received at Trembaths has been exceptional, and her underlying medical conditions have been, and are being, managed to an exceptional standard. She joins
in with all activities, despite being in a wheelchair and on oxygen. She also enjoys the company of the other residents, the care staff and volunteers. Trembaths is a top-class nursing home which I would recommend to any prospective resident.

My husband has been a resident at Trembaths for 2 years. The staff are excellent, very caring towards the residents and supportive to their families. My husband was admitted to the hospital in December and after a 4 week stay returned to Trembaths, where staff have done an amazing job returning him
back to his old self.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Well when I heard how much the monthly fee was I was stunned. However, having visited Trembath on two occasions, I think it is money well spent. The food is good, tasty and well cooked and smells delicious. All the staff that we saw were polite, cheerful and absolutely care for their clients. The care
home manager is brilliant, very easy to chat to, he took us on a trip round the home, including the dementia suit. It is so well set out. Very peaceful. Nicely dedocrated and the clients are obviously settled.

Trembaths is an excellent care home, the staff are extremely kind to both family and those in their care. I am pleased to say the food has improved very much although it could still do with more improving. Activities are limited and could be looked to see if different things could be included. Management
is excellent and always ready to help family.

Ever since I went to Trembaths I have been treated as part of a loving family, although it is my husband who is the resident. My husbands care & comfort have been exceptional in every way. The kindness of all , including cleaners as well as carers has been lovely, both to him & all our family. I thank
god he is where he is & although I miss him, I no longer worry about him. Thank you to everyone.

We are so happy that our dad is in Trembaths. He is so well looked after and cared for. He has had fewer issues and infections since having their 24-hour care. The staff are, without exception, friendly, kind, caring and respectful, to both him and other members of our family. The manager has gone above
and beyond, with support and advice on dealing with various agencies. We can't thank them enough.

My Mother is 99 and moved to Trembaths in mid-December 2024. She was in a state of shock after a flood in her flat in October and made an emergency move to live with two daughters one after another. She is now settling down and gaining her confidence back under the care and help she is now getting.

Trembaths staff are taking care of my father really well. He's always comfortable, clean and happy. We are kept informed of any changes, such as a recent chest infection. The manager is helping us deal with social services and has a great understanding of the system. We wouldn't want dad anywhere else.
Thank you so much.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.752)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.752) out of 10 for Trembaths is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.752 for Trembaths is calculated as follows: ( (214 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 274 Ratings = 4.752
  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 Trembaths is based on 23 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 51 registered maximum number of service users is 10.2, which has been reached with 23 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.
