Amazing! From the moment my aunt was here. She was happy, well looked after and nothing was to much trouble. Even making some of her wishes came true, to play a harp, have a tatoo (fake). We are always made welcome. The place is spotless and so homely.

My mum-in-law came to reside at Trembaths in February 2026. The care she receives is outstanding, very person centred. All staff show care, compassion and commitment in their roles. We, as a family, are reassured that mum is safe and secure and her needs are all being met, even wen she requests a different
meal choice or a piece of furniture in her room, this is always met with a willingness to achieve her wishes.
Reply from Renaud Sockalingum, Home Manager at TrembathsIt is always reassuring to know that we try our best everyday to ensure positive outcomes for our residents. Thank you for this lovely review, which will be shared with the team.

Review from Mark B (Son of Resident) published on 17 April 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Our experience with this home has been extremely poor. One star feels generous given the number of issues we have had to raise and the formal complaints we have had to submit. Across multiple areas of my mum's care, we saw repeated failures in communication, basic care and record keeping. The provider
has even admitted by email they "cannot guarantee the accuracy of every entry made" in their own records, which raises serious concerns about safety and oversight.
We also found contradictions between what staff told us and what was written in care plans, especially around nutrition, capacity and daily care. These inconsistencies made it impossible to trust that my mum's needs were being properly understood or met. On several occasions, we discovered serious issues ourselves rather than being informed.
Families rely on care homes to provide safe, consistent, transparent care. That has not been our experience. My advice: Look elsewhere.
Reply from Mandy Carey, Area Manager at TrembathsWe are sorry you feel this way about the care your loved one received as it is a different experience to other reviewers.

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.

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.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.697)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.697) out of 10 for Trembaths is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.697 for Trembaths is calculated as follows: ( (281 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 356 Ratings = 4.697
  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 29 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 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 29 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.
