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.
It 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.
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...
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.
We are sorry you feel this way about the care your loved one received as it is a different experience to other reviewers.
My husband John had a short but most enjoyable stay at this lovely care home. The staff and management were very friendly and caring. He was involved in all the entertainment. The food was excellent.

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 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.
Thank you for this lovely review. I will ensure this is cascaded to all team members. It is invigorating to receive such lovely comments and on behalf of the home we thank you.

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.

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.
Thank you for such a lovely review. We are truly grateful and rest assured that this will be shared with all our team members; this will make their day.
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....
