Over all time Caer Gwent has 80 reviews.
In the 3 1/2 years, my husband was living in Caer Gwent he was cherished and cared for with love and dignity. I could always feel the "care and love", the staff gave him all the time he was "aware" he was content and happy. I cannot express my heartful thanks and my family's for caring for him as well as I would have done.
Many thanks for such a positive review. It was our pleasure to be able to provide you with the support and we are very pleased that it had a positive impact and made a difference.
Extremely comfortable and will be coming back each year for 2 weeks respite care instead of going on holiday.
Although my mother has only been at Caer Gwent for a short while, I cannot speak highly enough of the care, kindness and consideration the staff have shown not only to my mum but also myself. The well-being team have made this transition a lot easier, especially during this trying time of lockdown. Thank you!
Was surprised at the amount of care given to ensure I was made to feel at home. Staff were helpful with any help required and was dealt with efficiently. Shall be sad to leave, but my thanks to all.
As a family we are very happy with the are given to our mother. All the staff have a very caring, cheerful and compassionate attitude. It's also impressive that there is so little staff turnover. It's lovely to see the same friendly faces.
Dear P B, thank you very much for your kind words. We are so pleased to hear that you are very happy with the care given to your mother at Caer Gwent which is of course of utmost importance to us. I will let the manager and staff know of your review which I know they will appreciate very much. All the best, Samantha Philpott
Caer Gwent is, on the whole, a first-rate care home which I think would be difficult to beat in terms of care for the residents, but being informed more would help. Surroundings, staff and general environment are lovely and the staff amazing. As a POA to a resident, although not related, I do feel sometimes it's hard to 'find out' about the resident in question and with the onset of Dementia the resident can't be relied upon for information.
Excellent clinical care. Friendly confident staff. Good food and well-maintained accommodation.
Thank you very much for your review. It is great to hear that you are pleased with all aspects of Caer Gwent, especially the quality of clinical care that we provide. We will pass on your positive comments to the team. Kind regards.
We have nothing but praise for the care Mum is currently receiving at Caer Gwent. The staff go to great lengths to make the residents feel at home. Communication is excellent, and any questions or requests we have made regarding Mum's care have been quickly attended to. All the staff seem to enjoy working together and there is a lovely family atmosphere. We are very happy that we have found somewhere so special to care for Mum.
Thank you so much for the lovely review of Caer Gwent. It’s great to hear that you are pleased with how our staff are caring for your mum and that we’ve been able to make her feel at home which is very important to us.
I stayed for one month's respite care. All the care staff were excellent. The food, however, was extremely poor.
Thank you for your review of Caer Gwent. I’m sorry that during your respite stay you were not happy with the quality of the food. Having spoken to you and your husband, as a direct result of this, Caer Gwent is developing a Catering Service Improvement plan and we will incorporate your feedback...
Beautiful interior looks like a 4 or 5* hotel, staff have always been helpful and responsive, the activities are fun and engaging. I'd love to live there and I'm only 40! I think sometimes some communication gets 'lost in translation' on account of my grandmother being hard of hearing e.g. what is said doesn't always get heard/understood by her and when she responds to something she thought she heard it doesn't necessarily correlate accurately to what was actually being said/asked.
The ability for the family to demonstrate the growing needs of my father, to be eligible for consideration of continuing care allowances, has been limited by the type of record keeping. Tick box reporting, whilst more efficient and quicker for staff to complete, severely hamper evidential support to claims.
The work of our staff is focused on spending quality time with the individuals in our care, making sure they feel supported, happy and comfortable. We use a range of assessment tools and care planning documents to evidence the care we provide but on a day to day basis spending time with people is...
Staff pleasant and courteous. Any queries followed up straight away with every attempt to resolve. Kept informed of any health issues. Took a while for mum to settle but staff have been supportive, patient and understanding. Something going on everyday morning and afternoon. Food to a very high standard. Mum makes use of hairdressers every week and some of the activities. Option to put name down for bus trip.
The rooms are well furnished as are the communal spaces.
The staff group are friendly to residents and visitors alike and respond to any requests. The manager is supportive and very approachable.
Care standards are very good and the menus are comprehensive with plenty of choices.
My Mum has been in Caer Gwent for almost two years. She has received excellent care and despite being very frail has good supportive relationships with all the staff. If any medical issues arise I am immediately contacted by the duty nurse and I have excellent communication with the senior managers and reception staff. The refurbishment of Caer Gwent has made it a delightful environment to visit.
I find all the staff compassionate and caring in the care of my mother. Although none of the family wished my mother to be in a care home it became necessary and I have peace of mind knowing she is safe and well looked after.
I am very happy with the service provided in looking after my father, his health, cleanliness, regular meal times, his room is clean and tidy. Much appreciated.
Generally, good standard of care sometimes slow response when ringing for assistance. Clean towels not always supplied until requested meal portions too large despite repeated requests for a small helping. This is very off-putting for someone with a small appetite!
Thank you for your review. Your comments are valued and we will ensure action is taken with regards the issues you have raised.
Staff, nurses, carers and all the other helpers made it possible for us to be together for several hours a day. Such kindness and care contributed mainly to my recovery.
I am home again now and visit my wife every day. Thank you everyone.
Since moving to her new home Mum has settled in well and enjoys her home-cooked meals in the delightful dining room and enjoys the daily entertainment especially when they have singers and musicians entertaining.
Mum also likes the animals that come to visit especially the donkey recently and the regular appearance on the magician's rabbit.
My sister and I visit on a weekly basis and always receive a warm welcome at the home at whatever time we pop in.
We're delighted with overall care Mum receives and would not hesitate in recommending the home to anyone looking for residential or nursing care in Worthing.
Superb. Very friendly, spotlessly clean, good food, good carers. Entertainment very good.

My name is Clare and I am the Registered Manager at Caer Gwent. I've been part of the Caer Gwent team for over 20 years, starting as a care assistant and working my way up through various roles before becoming Registered Manager in 2021. Caer Gwent is a really special place and it means a lot to me.
I have an open-door policy and always enjoy getting to know our residents and their families. I’m passionate about creating a caring, homely environment where everyone feels valued, supported and truly part of our extended family.

I am a Registered Nurse with an MBA in Health Care Management and have been with Guild Care since 2021. As Clinical Lead I oversee the clinical team and nurses to ensure that all areas are functioning correctly in line with CQC and the NMC.
I oversee medication management and also conduct clinical assessments for new residents before they move into our home. An essential part of my role is liaising with families to keep them updated on their loved one's health and care plans.

I have been part of the Guild Care family for over 20 years. I worked my way up from Care Assistant and Care Supervisor into my current role as Deputy Manager - Resources.
My previous experience in caring for our residents has been invaluable in my current role where I manage staffing and rotas as well as oversee care plans. I also deputise for the Care Home Manager as needed.
I love the family environment at Caer Gwent and really enjoy interactions with our residents and their families. We really are one big family!

My name is Emma and I’m the Housekeeping Manager at Caer Gwent. I first joined Guild Care in 2014 and spent many years at Haviland House, where I took great pride in creating a clean, welcoming environment for our residents and their families. In September 2023, I was proud to take on the role of Housekeeping Manager here at Caer Gwent, following the retirement of my lovely predecessor.
I now oversee both housekeeping and maintenance, making sure everything is well looked after so our home feels safe, comfortable and cared for. What I enjoy most is supporting my team and helping to make Caer Gwent a place our residents truly enjoy calling home.

My name is Staci and I’m the Practice Development Facilitator at Caer Gwent. I originally qualified as a teacher in South Africa and now use my experience to support and guide our amazing team. I make sure all new team members receive the training they need to feel confident and meet the standards of their roles.
I also work closely with our whole team to support ongoing learning and development, helping everyone continue to grow in their roles and provide the very best care for our residents.

My name is Leah and I’m the Administrator at Caer Gwent. I’ve been part of the Guild Care family for 15 years, starting out in various care roles before moving into my current position.
I love helping people and really enjoy getting to know our residents and their families. Caer Gwent has such a warm, welcoming feel – it truly is like one big family, and I’m proud to be a part of it.
