On every occasion that I visit Hafan y Waun I find that all staff behave very professionally and show a great respect for the residents, who are dealt with friendship and with patience. The wing is always very clean and the entrance is welcoming.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Hafan Y Waun gives a feeling of 'home from home' feeling. All staff are very warm and welcoming and always approachable if need be. My mum is very happy in the home, which makes me feel I have chosen the right care home. There is plenty of activity and interaction every day which helps bond residents
to a 'family and friends' environment. Residents have excellent care and are treated with dignity, and safety and security give me peace of mind. A good idea having a coffee shop and hairdressers which supports things residents had done previously.


Well done to all staff in the running of the home, careers for there care and support including the kitchen staff who serve excellent food and cakes, the gardener for keeping the outside space lovely and full of colour in the summer. and the staff that maintain the cleanliness of the home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Hafan y Waun provides an excellent care service in every way for my mother. The staff are fantastic - always very kind, caring and hard working. The atmosphere is very friendly and informal but professional. I am always kept informed as to my mother's medical condition and any alterations in her health.
My mother's room is spacious and comfortable and she is able to spend time there or sit with other residents in the day room as she pleases. There are plenty of activities provided and extra services such as a hairdresser, chiropodist etc. I would not hesitate to recommend Hafan y Waun as I feel completely confident that my mother is in a safe environment and being well looked after. Thank you!

Our relative has been a resident since January 2014. We realise that caring for our loved one is a challenge, but we appreciate the effort that is put in to please her and care for her. We have always found all staff we come into contact with very helpful and caring often going the extra mile to alleviate
any concerns we have. As a family, we are very grateful for the continued care and support given.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I came with some other volunteers to hold a service in Welsh with the residents. The staff are supportive and having the opportunity to sing hymns in Welsh means a lot to the residents and raises their spirits.
When thanking two of the residents at the end of the last monthly service, they answered
with a cheerful smile 'We come because we enjoy'.

Review from Mary P (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 September 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was a resident for three years and towards the end of her life. I acted as a volunteer and was a member of the Amenity Committee. Hafan y Waun was and is the most caring place. My brother and I were always assured our mother was cared for with great dignity and the very best attention. On
a very basic level, the home itself is bright, modern and spotlessly clean. The staff throughout are professional, diligent and caring. I cannot thank the staff enough for the three years in which my mother enjoyed the activities provided and loved the garden. In the end, my mother died in a safe secure environment. She was shown great respect and love. I always recommend and commend Hafan y Waun to people in the mid-Wales area.

Review from Gwyn (Son of Resident) published on 26 September 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have already recommended.
Having looked around care homes and talked to many people, the whole experience became very confusing at a stressful time. Our visit and tour around Hafan y Waun was clear and addressed the relevant points regarding the care that could be offered to my father who has
dementia, it was decision time and we did. It was a good decision, life-changing for all of us.
Our experience is that what was said is what actually took place ... and more.
Not only is the place clean and smells nice, my father does as well! which was a concern allayed.
The food is excellent and I have tasted it myself.
The staff are very friendly and clearly not only know what they are doing but care for their residents under testing circumstances which I have witnessed.
Given the circumstances that we found ourselves in, all of the immediate family are happy (if you understand my meaning) that my 92-year-old father is having a high level of care in his very difficult time of life.

Review from Julie T (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 August 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum's care has been exemplary not only in practical/practice terms but also in terms of the genuine affection for her among the staff, despite sometimes 'interesting' responses on her part. In more than 6 years of being bed bound the staff have managed to maintain her delicate skin in tact and have
done everything for her comfort. I am also delighted that the path to the end of Mum's life has been carefully discussed with us, Mum's family and ensured that she has not been distressed by unsuitable interventions - her dignity and comfort have been ensured at all times. The nursing and care staff and chaplain and volunteers have also been extremely supportive of me and the rest of the family. Thank you very much to all.
