Review from Susan A (Friend of Resident) published on 15 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Outstanding in every aspect.
Over the past few months I have witnessed care, compassion and kindness from an exceptional team at Dyffryn Ffrwd Nursing Home.
As a registered nurse and retired care home manager, I would without doubt, be happy for my Mum to be cared for here. The dedication of the team,
night and day, and I witnessed both first hand, is a joy to behold. They don't just look after the residents, they look after the loved ones too. It's wonderful to see and hear the staff loving what they do, there's laughter and fun and deep understanding of the individual needs of the residents. Thank you for everything.

My father has been receiving residential care at Duffryn FFrwd Manor for 3 months. The staff are attentive and caring across the range from domestic staff, caterers, carers, nursers, admin and management. They all engage with residents and their visitors in a professional yet friendly manner and manage
to make this feel like a real home and community. Thank you, everyone.

All staff were very helpful with all aspects of my wife's stay and care. My wife was there for respite for two weeks only it was the first time she had had respite but I would use this home again for her if it was available.

My dad has been at Duffryn Ffrwd for nearly 2 years. He settled in immediately and is very happy and content. All of the staff are very welcoming and treat him like one of their family. His friends and family enjoy visiting him. There is always something going on in the lounge, or his fellow residents
to chat to should he feel like joining in. Dad always looks clean, tidy and well cared for and has enjoyed every meal since he has been there. Duffryn Ffrwd has a lovely friendly, welcoming atmosphere which can be felt as soon as you walk through the door. We are so pleased Dad chose to live there.

Review from Christina T (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 August 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been in the care home for 30 months. She is very, very happy. She needed the people and stimulation that the care home provided that I couldn't provide at home. The care home staff are all very friendly and can't do enough for the residents and their families. It didn't matter what time
of day you called in (before Covid) there was always something going on, and during Covid they have been fantastic. Sending photos, videos, messages and making sure we see our loved ones. They're always planning for something to so with the residents. Its been the very best decision we made for my mother.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been at Duffryn Ffrwd Manor for almost three years. We had looked around several other homes in the area and really liked the warm and caring atmosphere of Duffryn Ffrwd Manor and have always felt our decision was the right one for Mum in all ways. We very much like the ensuite bedrooms - safe,
facilities and view of lovely gardens. Food is excellent and plenty of it. Cleanliness throughout - excellent. Activities are excellent - particularly themed ones of Queen's birthday. Staff are very caring and dedicated. Treat Mum with the greatest respect. Mum is content and has dignity, cared for and safe.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both mum and dad have lived at Duffryn Ffrwd Manor nursing home for the last three years. They have been kindly cared for and have been happy to share a room end to spend time together. As I don't live locally, the home has been always considerate to help me regularly speak with my parents when I can't
visit. I would highly recommend the home for providing a "home from home".

When my mother entered Duffryn Ffrwd, she was going downhill after a fall and stay in hospital. Thanks to their care and patience, she has now turned a corner. She is anointed and has her "mojo" back. We, as a family, cannot thank them enough! She has been there for 7-weeks and is happy and relaxed.
A wonderful transition. Thank you, Duffryn Ffrwd.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.528)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.528) out of 10 for Duffryn Ffrwd Manor Nursing & Residential 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 4 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 4.936 for Duffryn Ffrwd Manor Nursing & Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (44 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.936
  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 3.592 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Duffryn Ffrwd Manor Nursing & Residential Care Home is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 92 registered maximum number of service users is 18.4. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.4 = 0.217
  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.
