Review from Huw J (Son of Resident) published on 8 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Cartref y Borth is a professionaly run home with very attentive and caring staff. It is spotlessly clean and the day rooms are warm, comfortable and have pleasant views of the gardens and trees overlooking the river. My mother seems very happy here and enjoys her meals, and I am often contacted by
staff members informing me of any changes to her health or medication.

I'm aware that there is a weekly timetable of activities for the residents and that local schoolchildren will also come to sing to them on occasion. The home is situated in a tranquil setting yet just a five minute walk away from the town square.


There are care homes closer to the family, but I doubt that they would be as pleasant and comfortable as Cartref y Borth.

My overall view of Cartref y Borth Care Home is mostly satisfactory, considering the workload on their staff and availability. Staff care is excellent under their circumstances. Activities could be improved, but once again, I understand how difficult it can be with limited resources.

I have visited our elderly resident four times since she was admitted before Christmas 2023.
I have myself been treated with respect and observed all residents being treated with dignity and respect and given any support required.
The staff are friendly and the building is clean and warm.

My mother has been a resident of Cartref y Borth Nursing Home for over 4 months now and I am very pleased with the care provided by staff and management, they are all so friendly, kind, and caring, which gives me peace of mind. My mother's health has improved during her stay and she has regained some
of the weight she lost. Communication is very good and I am kept informed.

I’m grateful for the care my Mother is given at Cartref Y Borth. The staff gives us feedback on her routines and keeps us informed of any of her medical/behavioral changes. Mam’s health, including her eating habits, has improved since she moved to Cartref Y Borth, it is her safe and happy place.

My sister was very well cared for during her stay at Cartref Y Borth, when she became very poorly she received the upmost loving care in a very dignified manner until the very end. It was a great comfort to our family to know she was looked after in such a loving and caring way by all staff and the
manager.

My mother has been in Cartref-y-Borth for 2 years. She has received excellent care. I have been extremely grateful to the care team during Covid. They have worked very hard to keep their residents safe. My mother always states that the staff have been very good. Visiting has been very limited understandably,
but they are facilitated with residents' safety in mind. Thank you for all your hard work during an extremely difficult year.

During last year I haven't been to see mum very often, when I did she seemed happy and content. She would certainly show her feelings if she had any issues with the home. Every time I've phoned to know how she is the staff have been polite and helpful.

My mother is very well looked after at Cartref Y Borth. Both her physical wellbeing and her mental health have improved to a great extent since becoming a resident. The staff are friendly and caring and the food is great. Mum has an excellent view from her room but prefers to stay downstairs with the
other residents during the day.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.399)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.399) out of 10 for Cartref y Borth Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.399 for Cartref y Borth Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (72 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.399
  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 Cartref y Borth Care Home is based on 13 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 21 registered maximum number of service users is 4.2, which has been reached with 13 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.
