My Mother continues to enjoy excellent care from the staff of this wonderful home. Both my brother and I, live overseas and it gives us great peace of mind that our dearest mother is looked after so well by all the members of staff that work at Care Gwent. On a recent visit with my mum, she advised
that all of the people who worked at the home were kind, helpful and responsive to her needs. What more could we ask for? We receive regular updates on her care from Eleni and her team and offers of Facetime with mum as an extra level of contact. Mum likes her room and particularly enjoys the many musical recitals provided by the home. I have pleasure in recommending this home to anyone who would want their kin to enjoy their final times in such a wonderfully presented and staffed home.
Reply from Kevin Burke, Director of Care Homes and Dementia Services at Caer GwentThank you very much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and heartfelt review. We are so pleased to hear that your mother continues to enjoy excellent care at Caer Gwent. It means a great deal to us to know that you and your brother feel reassured, especially living overseas, and that our team has been able to provide you with peace of mind.

My 94 year old mother has been in Caer Gwent care home for nearly three years now. From the outset the standard of care has been superb, gone are the days of my opinion of care homes being Gods watiing room! My mum has a better social life than me! The entertainment provided is so thoughtful and relevant
to the audience. The main advantage of Caer Gwent is the friendly and genuine positivity of the whole staff generate from receptionists to cleaning, kitchen and carers. Well done to all staff.
Reply from Kevin Burke, Director of Care Homes and Dementia Services at Caer GwentThank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review.

Your kind words about the whole team, from reception to housekeeping, kitchen and care staff, are truly appreciated. Creating a warm, positive and engaging environment is at the heart of what we do, and feedback like yours means a great deal to everyone here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother moved into Caer Gwent in November and the family couldn't be happier with our choice. The staff are very friendly to both residents and visitors and are more than happy to stop and have a chat. The lounges, restaurant and gardens are lovely places to visit. It's so nice to find somewhere that
the whole family enjoy visiting.
The first few weeks were difficult for Mum, as it was a big change, but the constant attention and encouragement of the staff soon started to make her feel at home. They were more than happy to change her room lighting to accommodate her poor eyesight and take her around the home until she got used to the layout. The activities during the day and the great choice of food all help to make this a highly recommended Care Home.
Reply from Kevin Burke, Director of Care Homes and Dementia Services at Caer GwentThank you so much for your lovely review and for sharing your mother's experience at Caer Gwent. We're delighted to hear that she has settled well and that your family enjoy visiting the home. The early weeks of such a big change can be challenging, so it's wonderful to know that the team's encouragement and personalised support helped her feel at home. We're also pleased that the adjustments made for her eyesight, the activities, and the food choices have all made a positive difference.
Your kind words mean a great deal and will be shared with the whole team. Thank you again for your trust in us. If there's anything more we can do, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

My parner's Mum moved into Caer Gwent earlier this year. The transition into a care home from her own home was understandably emotionally difficult, but the team at Caer Gwent did everything to welcome her, involve her, and introduce her to other residents and new activities. It was very impactful
to hear her tell us that, after a series of falls in her own home, she now felt "safe".
Sadly, a serious health issue meant she recently required end-of-life care. During this period, staff were (as ever) kind, caring, and professional, both to her and to the family. We had absolutely no doubt she was in the best hands, and we were thankful for the kindness that both she, and her family, were shown during this time.
Reply from Kevin Burke, Director of Care Homes and Dementia Services at Caer GwentThank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review.
We know that moving from home into a care setting can be an emotional change, so we are really pleased to hear that our team helped your partner's mum feel welcomed, included and supported to build new connections through activities and getting to know other residents. Hearing that she felt safe after her falls means a great deal to us.
We are very sorry that her health changed and that she required end-of-life care. Thank you for trusting us during such a difficult time. Providing kind, dignified and professional care for residents, and offering reassurance and support to families, is at the heart of what we do, and we are grateful that you felt she was in the best hands.

Your comments will be shared with the whole team at Caer Gwent. Thank you again for your trust and for sharing your experience.

Mum was bought in for emergency respite care due to my Dad suddenly being rushed into hospital. All of the staff took great care of her immediately. Unfortunately my Dad was on end of life care but within a week it had been arranged for him to spend his last hours with Mum which was wonderful. Since
then everybody has made sure both Mum and myself are doing well. Mum is always telling me how kind and caring everybody is. She is now well settled and has started going to some of the activities, chatting more and seems generally far happier. Thank you to everyone for everything you do. We love you all!
Reply from Kevin Burke, Director of Care Homes and Dementia Services at Caer GwentThank you so much for your heartfelt review at such a difficult time.

We are glad to know your mum is settling well, joining activities, chatting more and feeling happier. Your lovely words will be shared with everyone involved in her care. We are here for you and your mum and if there is anything more we can do please let us know.

Review from Terry M (Son of Resident) published on 2 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I needed to arrange care for my mother after my father passed away.
We really didn't want her to ever be on her own, or to feel frightened or lonely at any time, and wanted someone to be available to care for her whenever she needed. Mum having access to 24/7 care was crucial for her wellbeing and
ongoing support, as well as for our own peace of mind. We felt that a care home could provide that level of care and support.
I visited Caer Gwent before we made a final decision, met many of the staff, and was very impressed. Everyone was friendly, polite, and it felt right straightaway. The lounges are beautifully presented, decorated, and light, bright, and welcoming. It all helped with that very difficult decision about Mum moving into care.
Whilst the transition into care can be challenging, both for a new resident and their family, my mother as been welcomed and cared for brilliantly. I can't thank you enough for the kindness and support you have shown to my mother and our family.
Reply from Kevin Burke, Director of Care Homes and Dementia Services at Caer GwentThank you so much for your heartfelt review and for sharing your experience of Caer Gwent. We understand how difficult the decision to move a loved one into care can be, especially at such an emotional time and we're truly honoured that you chose Caer Gwent to support your mother. It means a great deal to hear that you felt welcomed and reassured from the moment you visited. Our team works hard to create a homely, compassionate environment where residents feel safe, valued and cared for and we're so pleased to hear that this came through during your visit and throughout your mother's transition. We're especially touched by your comments about the 24/7 care and the impact it has had on your mother's wellbeing and your family's peace of mind. Thank you again for your kind words and trust - we will make sure your feedback is shared with the whole team. It's a privilege to support your mother and your family.

Mum has been in this home for over two years now, and she absolutely loves it there. It has given her a new lease of life. The staff are always fantastic, friendly, and very caring. The food is great, and the chef takes the time to talk with mum to make sure the food is to her taste. There are two activities
a day so there is always something to do. I saw mum recently and as soon as I entered her room, she beamed at me and proclaimed I stroked a donkey, so they even manage to arrange animal visits. For me, I value greatly that mum is loved, happy, and looked after very well. In fact, if I could move into Caer Gwent, I would!! A big thanks to 3 staff members in particular and the whole team.

Mum was nervous and self-conscious when she moved in. She worried about fitting in and about being lost or forgotten. She need not have worried! From day one the staff have been so kind and considerate. In the first few weeks, they walked her to the dining room and back, and to any activities. They
continued until she had her bearings and had made friends. Truly discreet in how they did this, so she did not feel foolish or uncomfortable. The activities are well varied and I believe Mum is conversing and thinking more clearly as well as being happy.

My 93-year-old mother was understandably very anxious about leaving her home of 48 years to move to a care home. Six weeks later, she now regards Caer Gwent as her home and is so much happier, healthier, and carefree. The staff, without exception, are amazing - so friendly and attentive, providing real
care throughout the day and night. The home itself is bright, cheerful and very well equipped and has a lovely enclosed garden which my mother's room overlooks. The food is excellent which my mother appreciates as she retains a good appetite, is hearty, healthy, plentiful, and has lots of choices. The activities programme is so, so good, it has genuinely transformed my mother who had become housebound and had little interaction with others, she now revels in the company and variety of things to do - apparently, the time now flies by! I am so pleased with Caer Gwent, I am certain that we could not have done any better anywhere else.
Reply from Kevin Burke, Director of Care Homes and Dementia Services at Caer GwentThank you for your glowing review of Caer Gwent, which I will share with the team.

The care and kindness my husband has been shown since moving into Caer Gwent has been outstanding. It is a very happy home with dedicated and friendly staff and carers. His needs are dealt with effortlessly and in a way that makes him feel comfortable and safe. It is a beautiful home with lovely surroundings.
When family visit they are also made to feel welcome and encouraged to be part of the family at Caer Gwent. A nurse said to me on our arrival that they are very proud of their home and this is reflected throughout. My husband has settled well and enjoys such varied food. He particularly looks forward to the tea trolley coming round with lovely tea and cake. Thank you to everyone for making your care home a lovely home for my husband.

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.948 for Caer Gwent is calculated as follows: ( (239 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.948
  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 Caer Gwent is based on 21 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 61 registered maximum number of service users is 12.2, which has been reached with 21 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.
