Was given an emergency respite bed for my father and so glad it was here. Staff are so friendly and can't be more helpful and made my dad very comfortable. Rooms have all you need and very clean. Food is excellent and as much as the residents want. I stayed whilst they had a quiz which helped with memories and then a singalong which my dad joined in with. Lots to keep residents happy and anything they are interested in is taken into consideration. Can't recommend this lovely place enough. Well done all at Trembaths!
Thank you for feeding back your experiences of Trembaths and for your lovely feedback regarding our team. It is very much appreciated.
My father was resident in Trembaths for 10 months. Aged 89, he arrived after discharge from hospital, having suffered a major stroke. He had limited mental and physical capability, so he required hands-on nursing and personal care. Throughout his time at Trembaths, he received a high level of care...
As and when there were issues with his health I felt that the nursing staff were on top of things and proactive in calling in the doctor when they felt it necessary. I was always kept informed of issues too, which was reassuring given that I live abroad.
I have no hesitation in recommending Trembaths.
Thank you for taking the time to feed back your experiences of Trembaths. I am so pleased to hear that you were satisfied with our all aspects of our service and you found the care to be of a high level delivered diligently and sensitively. Your comments are much appreciated and will be shared with our team. Thank you again.
The accommodation offers fantastic all round care under difficult individual circumstances. I feel at times the residents are left on their own a little too much in the communal areas by no fault of the carers, this is mainly due to staff shortages and when two are required for individual needs....
The residents are entertained with different activities and on a regular basis including visiting the hairdressers. The food seems to be enjoyed and is good. Well done to all the carers fantastic job.
Thank you for your feedback regarding Trembaths. I am pleased that you feel the carers do a fantastic job together and that activities and food are all enjoyed. I note your comments regarding residents being left on their own a little too much in the communal areas. I would like to reassure you...
Thank you for your feedback regarding Trembaths. I am pleased that you feel the carers do a fantastic job together and that activities and food are all enjoyed. I note your comments regarding residents being left on their own a little too much in the communal areas. I would like to reassure you that staffing levels are maintained to levels which enable carers to meet the need of our residents the majority of the time however there are times when short notice absence can not be covered even by agency staff. We continue to work hard to recruit and retain permanent staff to Trembaths. Your feedback is much appreciated and will be shared with the team.

Mother incapable of writing- management is in the process of being changed which is good as the past manager had changed too often, no good for staff running of the home, families and residents. On the whole, the staff are great, the people who stood out are the entertainer and hairdresser. The cleaners are very good and friendly. Mother is being well looked after if she wasn't she would not be alive at 101! When a job needs doing they are always willing to help. There are niggly complaints from time to time but that's all.
Thank you for taking the time to feedback your experiences of Trembaths. I am glad to hear that you are generally very happy with the home and that your Mother is being well looked after. Your feedback is much appreciated.

Staff have been very supportive and very honest and open with us about mum's needs and progress/regression since she has been there. They try to involve as many as possible in the activities but when family are there they don't push it and allow privacy and family time. They always celebrate special occasions for residents and genuinely take the time to get to know each resident and their likes/dislikes and cater to that as much as possible. They provide one on one as much as they can but unfortunately as they are not flush with staff it is not as much as we would like to see but they try their best. The home is well looked after and the food quality and variety is excellent. Highly recommended.
Thank you for taking the time to feedback your comments regarding Trembaths. I am pleased to hear that you are generally very happy with the Home and, in particular, the staff team. We are well underway with the recruitment to vacant staff posts with a view to eliminating the use of agency staff.

We couldn't ask for mum to be in a better place, she is being cared for by a fabulous team of experienced, happy and caring people.
Trembaths is a happy and calm place to be and we feel very lucky that a place was available when we needed it.
We can never thank you enough for all you do and always with a smile. We always knew it was the right place for our mum after our visit earlier in the year when we visited local care homes for people with dementia.
Thank you for taking the time to feedback your experiences of Trembaths. I am pleased to hear how satisfied you are with our Home. Your comment will be shared with our team. Thank you.
I would like to express my sincere thanks to all the staff at Trembaths for the care, kindness, patience and dignity they give to our mum. It has been a tough few months since mum went to live at Trembaths but the staff have all been so supportive and very kind. As a family we are so very glad...
Trembaths seems to be very well run and there is always someone on hand and with time to discuss things with you. It is always so lovely and clean (without that 'care home smell') and has a peaceful, calmness about it. There are always plenty of activities going on to stimulate the residents and family members are always welcome to join in these activities.
Thank you for your kind comments regarding Trembaths. Your feedback is very much appreciate and I will ensure that it is shared with our team.
From the moment my father and I walked through the door we have both been made welcome and supported. Finding the right home for your parent is hard as well as the great feeling of guilt. The transition for my dad was made easier as the staff took time to find out about him. He has always been...
From the moment my father and I walked through the door we have both been made welcome and supported. Finding the right home for your parent is hard as well as the great feeling of guilt. The transition for my dad was made easier as the staff took time to find out about him. He has always been treated with respect and dignity. The staff are fantastic and Trembaths now feels like home for both of us. The food looks really good and is prepared on site using fresh ingredients. I would highly recommend Trembaths.
Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience of Trembaths. As you say, the move in to a care home can be a very difficult time and I am pleased to hear that the team at Trembaths have been able to assist during this period of transition. Your comments in respect of our staff team are much appreciated and I will ensure that your comments are shared with them. Thank you.

My wife has dementia and was admitted to Trembaths on the 4th of Jan 2015, she became unable to stand at home and I needed a care home to look after her. She settled in very well and has been looked after in the dementia unit by caring attentive and well trained staff. Her needs are attended to and everyone is most considerate with the increasing demands of dementia. I had previously visited 5 care homes in the area to see how they performed. This was my best choice. The home was in the process of appointing a replacement manager during the period my wife was admitted.
Thank you for your feedback. I am so pleased that you chose Trembaths for your wife and that she has settled in well. I have been the Home Manager at Trembaths for five months now and I too have settled in well. I will ensure that your comments are passed on to the staff teams. Thank you.
My mother has been a resident at Trembaths for over six months now and I am really pleased with her care. She settled in really quickly and easily and she has a lovely room with her own en-suite. Her room is cleaned daily including clean towels and bedding. The staff are all lovely and mum has got...
Although mum doesn't join in with a lot of activities just yet, there are a good range of daily activities at Trembaths and even some outings. Mum likes to attend the church service they hold there once a week. I do honestly feel that mum is happy and well cared for at Trembaths and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a care home for their loved one.
Thank you for your kind comments regarding the care your mother has been receiving at Trembaths. I will ensure that your comments are passed on to the team.
