Very good home, staff first class.
The only complaint is that articles of clothing disappear - never to be found!

I think it's a lovely home, everyone so helpful, nothing too much trouble. As a family member, we feel happy that our loved ones have settled so well, only being here a short time, all the comforts of home, makes us happy knowing our parents are treated with the care and dignity they deserve.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The whole feel for the property is a family, close-knit, full of wonderful caring people whom we feel we have made a friendly connection with. Both myself, my sisters and the whole family are over the moon with the care they provide for both Mum and Dad. It's great to know that my parents have settled
in and are enjoying the environment.


Thank you all for all you do.

Staff are very friendly, polite and helpful, they have time for their residents. I do, however, find that some days there could be more staff, staff are rushed off their feet but do their best.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife was a resident for two years until she passed away in April 2017. The care, concern and kindness shown during her stay was second to none, it was truly a 'home from home'
I have nothing but praise for her care during this period and I will continue to visit the many friends made there, both
staff and residents.

All staff at Glanffrwyd are always helpful, cheerful and available. I have always found them to be caring and happy to help. Dad has been there for 8 months and has settled well and is always clean and tidy. He is happy in Glanffwyd and has become very fond of the staff. Every visit is always a positive
experience.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.561)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.561) out of 10 for Glanffrwd Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 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 4.872 for Glanffrwd Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (82 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 94 Ratings = 4.872
  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 4.689 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Glanffrwd Care Home is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 9 = 0.889
  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.
