Mum was transferred from hospital to Plas Y Dderwen on September 14th and remained there until she passed on Saturday September 19th. During her time, she had the best care from everyone involved. We were impressed with all the staff we met as they all went over and above with the care and attention Mum had. We were very grateful for everything.

I cannot fault his care & support to us as a family. We were so happy he spent his last days with you and can't thank you enough. We will always be truly grateful.
It is more like a private hotel than a nursing home.

My cousin spent 4 years in the care home where he made lots of friends with residents + staff. He was very happy there + enjoyed the activities, especially the musical events.

Thank you for lovely comments about the care he received and to know he was very happy in the home. It brings great pleasure to know that your cousin felt cared for and safe within the home.

My Partner has resided at Plas y Dderwen for some 96 weeks in which time she has benefitted from the best of care throughout. This was emphasised by the celebration of her 80th birthday this week which could not have been better provided for with fantastic support from the staff to make the occasion one to be remembered by the dozen friends who attended the afternoon event and were able to thoroughly enjoy the time spent at the Home.
We have had the pleasure of looking after your partner within the home and delighted that she enjoyed her 80th birthday with us. Thank you.

My sister suffers from servere Parkinsons since the age of 45 and from arriving at Plas y Dderwen Care Home has had wonderful care with all the staff. Eifiona has difficulty in communicating with others but the staff here have time and patience with the ability to understand her needs. Most of the time, Eifiona would love to join in most of the activities but due to her disabled hands she misses out on most entertainment.

A huge thank you to the staff and management of Plas-y-Dderwen Care Home, Dad had been a resident in the Gwili section since November 2022, he was looked after with great care and dignity, always clean and well presented, well fed and entertained.

Sharon, the Senior General Manager, the whole staff, the facilities and general ambience all contributed to our initial reaction and continuing impression, that it was, without any doubt at all, a fine place, a caring haven and a home quietly exuding the inner feeling that all was well. It was clearly a 'cwtch',,,,the Welsh word for an encompassing warm hug....a hug, but 100% more in it's effect. As a family, we are so sincerely grateful to everyone for the effect, atmosphere and marvellous facilities provided. It was an experience that will forever remain in the memory and helped so much in ensuring that our relative was relaxed and comforted before his inevitable 'journey home'.

My grandfather transferred from a local hospital to Plas y Dderwen for end of life care. I was immediately relieved and reassured by the calm and caring atmosphere at Plas y Dderwen. My grandfather was always clean and comfortable with his hair nicely combed (as he liked it). The whole team were kind, compassionate, patient and attentive. As my grandfather came to the end of his journey, they rang us in plenty of time so we could be with him (something which was really important to me as we live 90 minutes away). When we arrived, a member of the team was sat with him, holding his hand and reassuring him. The team offered us food, drink, chairs and blankets so we could comfortably sit with him in to the night. Thanks to Plas y Dderwen, my grandfather had a peaceful and dignified death, something which is often overlooked and poorly managed. I want to say a special thank you to Kelly, Andrew and Terry for their kindness but also extend my thanks to the whole team. Thank you all!

Plas-y-Dderwen exceeded all my expectations of what a care home should be. Maybe it was not the building; either inside or out; not the decor or the fresh washed linen. Not the entertainment or the well laid out gardens. When you have the quality of staff that Plas-y-Dderwen has everything else...
Plas-y-Dderwen exceeded all my expectations of what a care home should be. Maybe it was not the building; either inside or out; not the decor or the fresh washed linen. Not the entertainment or the well laid out gardens. When you have the quality of staff that Plas-y-Dderwen has everything else becomes secondary. Their care, love, compassion and empathy made the time my mother was there one of the happiest times of her life.
Mum was transferred to Plas y Dderwen as she had been wrongly assessed as having challenging behaviour. The lovely staff at Plas y Dderwen quickly realised she was in extreme pain and approaching the end of her life. She was given suitable painkillers and became much more comfortable. Staff were...
Over the ten days we were there with mum we noticed that all the other residents were treated very well, with respect and understanding.
My Husband was very well cared for during his week of respite. We felt that he gained ground while at Plas y Dderwen. We particularly like the set up of the different areas according to the various needs of the individuals.
