My husband was only in the care home for three days. I was pleased with the way he was treated in his last few days.

Many thanks for your review, I will pass on the feedback to the care team.
12 months ago the place was a shambles-very, very poor. Now thanks to the new manager and activities coordinator the place has turned around. Morale seems good and much, much less of the 'us and them', more 'all us' now.

My father has been a resident at Plas-y-Dderwen for almost three years. We as a family were very reluctant to put him into a care home but as he had vascular dementia there really was no alternative. He settled into the home very quickly and really liked the staff and the residents. He would often tell me how lovely the place was and how lovely the people there were. He really enjoyed the food and the activities he took part in. I know he could be difficult at times because of his dementia but the staff were always kind and respectful to him leaving him alone when he wanted to be left alone. Sadly my father passed away last week. Everything possible was done to make his passing as easy and pain-free as possible. I can not thank the staff enough.
Kind regards.
My sister-in-law was very well-treated and comfortable. She spent two years in the home and although she had extreme mobility problems, she received the highest care. Thank you to all the staff.

My mother was in Plas-y-Dderwen Care Home for five weeks (until her death). She was extremely frail and very difficult. They coped with her very well. She was happier when left alone and they intervened as little as possible only giving care when necessary. They dealt with her passing extremely professionally. We were completely happy with her care.
Thank you so much for taking the time to undertake a review at this sad time, it was a pleasure to take care of your loved one. I will ensure that the feedback is shared with the team. Kind regards.
My mother was transferred to Plas-y-Dderwen Care Home on the 20th of January, although it was sadly only for a short time I have nothing but admiration for the staff at the home who was an absolute credit to you. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The care and compassion for my mum and the...
Thank you staff at Plas-y-Dderwen Care Home, you are forever in our thoughts.
Many thanks, Paul for taking the time to leave this review at such a sad time. Following our discussion on Sunday I have passed on your feedback to the staff and the biscuits were appreciated by all. I and the team are sorry for your loss. Kindest regards.

I just wanted to say a personal thanks for all the efforts of the team in supporting the spouse during a recent bereavement and going the extra mile in putting a plan in place to facilitate her attendance at the funeral. Whilst she didn't understand all of the time due to her dementia diagnosis she did at times and it was fitting that she was there to sing Arglwydd Dyma Fi a hymn of her choice with tears in her eyes. The staff supporting her were professional and calm at all times. Other thanks to the home and chef for agreeing to host the afternoon tea so that she could attend and share many fond memories with people in a relaxed and supportive way in surroundings that were familiar to her.
Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review of your recent experience. As a team at Plas -Y-DDerwen we aim to achieve above and beyond where circumstances demand and although in difficult circumstances it was a pleasure to support you at this time. I will pass your feedback on to the team. Kind regards.

We have lived in the USA for 18 years now and have found it difficult to see how his condition has slowly taken its toll. It is however of huge comfort to us that he is being looked after by such a compassionate and caring group of professionals. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Many thanks for taking the time to write this review. We are very happy to be of assistance in a time of need. I will share your positive feedback with the staff team here at Plas Y Dderwen. Kind Regards, Sharon.
My dad sadly passed away on Thursday, November 17th. On behalf of my family, I couldn't find a thank you card big enough to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to the manager and her staff. They always showed dedication and enthusiasm in caring for Dad. The support and empathy given not only...
It was always lovely to see staff smiling while carrying out their duties. It means so much to the residents and visitors who were always welcomed with a smile and greeting; it makes for a lovely, caring, homely atmosphere. Our sincere thanks and congratulations to the dedicated manager and her wonderful staff. Excellent manager.
Thank you, Linda, for your kind words. It was an absolute pleasure to care for your dad during his stay here at Plas Y Dderwen; he was a true gentleman, that's for sure. I will most certainly be sharing your feedback with the care team. We look forward to continuing the journey. Kind regards.
Very warm welcome on arrival, offered a beautiful cup of tea and made to feel right at home. All residents were happy and content throughout my visit. Such a lovely inviting environment, very homely. I look forward to returning in future.

After worrying about my mother going into care my fears disappeared very quickly. The staff were welcoming, dedicated and professional. They made time to discover the person behind the complex care needs and it was obvious that my mother became very fond of them. Her room and all other facilities...
There was a feeling of well-being there and as visitors, we were also offered refreshments and counsel. When she came to the end of her life they supported us every step of the way. It was apparent that they too were preparing for a loss. I cannot speak highly enough about them and will be forever grateful for their friendship, care and support.
Many thanks for taking the time to undertake a review of the care home. It was an honour to be able to provide care to your mother for her duration here at Plas Y DDerwen. I will most certainly share your feedback with the rest of the team. Kind regards.
The family travelled for three hours to reach the home and were treated to tea/coffee, sandwiches and cake before travelling back. Cannot fault, the staff, go all out to make us comfortable. Exceptional, as usual. Thank you.

On behalf of all my family who lives abroad, I want to thank wholeheartedly each and every one of the staff and management team at Plas-y-Dderwen Care Home for their kindest support. Unexpectedly, my mum became very ill last year and we were fortunate enough to find a placement for her at Plas-y-Dderwen Care Home. Just a few months later, my dad also got ill, and he was admitted to Plas-y-Dderwen Care Home. Both of my parents were able to be together until the end in the most comfortable and dignifying conditions thanks to the arrangements that everyone at Plas-y-Dderwen Care Home offered to them as residents and to us as their family. Mum passed away recently, and dad continues without her for a little longer. None of this could have been possible without Plas-y-Dderwen help. Our gratitude is infinite.

Good, friendly staff went beyond allowing my friend to move rooms and providing special food. Would recommend for myself. All this during the pandemic lockdown provided an external safe room for isolation.

My aunt has been a resident at Plas-y-Dderwen since August 2021. She was warmly welcomed, the staff are all very friendly and helpful not only to residents but also to visitors. The home is always clean and the procedures carried out during the Covid pandemic have been excellent.

Your Aunt is a wonderful lady; she has settled into the home well over her time with us and has made friends and connected with the other residents and staff. We always look forward to seeing her at any activities as she always adds to the fun.

I can’t speak highly enough of Plas Y Dderwen. The care and love shown to my grandfather has been outstanding. He has been very happy here. The care staff and nurses know exactly how to handle his dementia and work with him so that he feels settled and supported. Two (nurses) in particular have been amazing with him but also with us as a family as well. My grandfather has been shown dignity and respect at all times and I couldn’t be happier with the care he has received here. We had an awful experience with a previous care home and as soon as my grandfather came here all challenging behaviours stopped which speaks for itself. I will always be grateful for the way they have treated him like family.
Your grandfather was a very special man that had a kind word for everyone around him. I wish that the pandemic hadn't stopped us from taking him to one more Swansea FC game but we have such fond memories of his time with us.
