The love and care she receives from all members of staff is absolutely outstanding.
Ty Gwynno genuinely feels like home. There are so many people who have worked there from the time we began visiting all those years ago and they are, without exception, cheerful, upbeat, warm and friendly to us as visitors, but more importantly with the residents.
It's a pleasure to spend time there and see the residents enjoying the company, the wonderful activities, the beautiful garden and the amazing outings.
We cannot thank you enough.
Thank you so much Helen for your lovely review. It is always lovely to see you visiting, as you have done so for so many years! Diolch o galon!
My husband has been a resident of Ty Gwynno for several years and has always been treated with love,care and respect. He is looked after like one of their family and I am welcomed at any time to visit. I am also treated so well from the caring staff.When weather permitting we love to sit in the beautiful garden. There is always something going on in the lounge or day trips for those who are able. Families are always welcomed and encouraged to join in.This is a very happy place and I would recommend Ty Gwynno to anyone.The managers and staff are so caring and treat everyone with kindness, respect and dignity.
Wow thank you Sylvia for a wonderful review. It is always lovely to see you, and you are very much part of the Ty Gwynno family. Thank you for the continued support you give to us. Diolch o galon!
The care,and consideration that my wife receives cannot be faulted or bettered. The staff of the home are meticulous in all that they do for her and it can be seen that she is happy and well taken care of. This allows me and our familly to be satisfied that the best care is always being carried out for her.
Thank you so much Gerry for a wonderful review. You are also part of our family, and we love having you at the home. Thank you again!
He settled in from day 1 and is certainly enjoying the food - we've had to buy trousers in a bigger size.
The staff have been amazing in helping him feel comfortable and at home. He has plenty of 'male' company which is always a bonus.
We knew this was the right home for him as my mum has been a resident for almost 2 years now. The staff are wonderful and always go out of their way to make residents and family welcome.
We love you Ty Gwynno - keep up the good work
Thank you, Caroline, for such a wonderful review. Reading these reviews bring us such pride, and we do appreciate you taking your time to express such lovely words. Thank you again!
There is always an amazing event or fundraising idea being planned for the benefit of the residents and such an array of activities for everyone.
The thought and attention to details in both big and small at the home daily is outstanding.
Diolch Rhian for the lovely review. This positive feedback means a lot. We know how much your dad also likes to visit to share these moments with your mum! Again, thank you for taking the time to give us a review!
It's so good to be able to visit at any time and the staff are so friendly and supportive.It is painful to see a dearly loved friend needing a nursing home but we know that she is well looked after.I am impressed with the activities that take place,there is always a good singsong for the residents,the lounge area is always clean and tidy.When the weather is nice and warm there is a lovely area in the garden where the residents can sit.Also they have regular trips out of the home to different places,this can only help with the residents mental wellbeing.All in all i am very thankful that my friend has a place that she be safe in.
Thank you Margaret for taking your time to complete a review for us. I know how much your friend enjoys your visits, and we are happy that you feel you are welcome at any time. Thank you again!
My mother has not been there long , but so far the service has been outstanding. The staff are so friendly. I have not see rooms yet , but what i have seen ,is lovely and clean. My mum is still adjusting to this new life.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. When you are next visiting your mum, we will give you a guided tour of the home! Diolch once again!
As a family we are so grateful that he has his life back and is not confined to his bed or room.
We were welcomed as a family when my uncle moved into and the whole team have been so supportive and caring. Thank you just isn't enough.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make such a lovely review. I know your uncle has settled well, and has enjoyed another outing with us this weekend! It is amazing to hear that the team have been welcoming, when it can be such a big transition. Thank you again!
I would not hesitate in recommending this amazing, resident centred home to anyone considering where to place their loved ones.

Diolch for such a lovely review. It is a pleasure for us to care for both you mum and dad! We really appreciate your kind words! Thank you again!
My dad moved into Ty Gwynno in January 2026. He has settled so well, seems very happy and loves the food, activities and companionship. I was so worried about residential care and I needn't have been. I'm reassured that he's happy, settled and receiving everything he needs. Thank you staff at Ty Gwynno for looking after dad so well.
We are so thrilled to hear this, and that you are reassured your dad is happy. This makes us happy! Thank you so much for taking your time to lave a lovely review!

All the staff at Ty Gwynno are absolutely amazing.

Thank you so much Karen. Such a lovely review. Diolch x
We travelled down from Nottinghamshire to visit my long time friend, a resident of Ty Gwynno, on her birthday. As always, we were made most welcome by the lovely staff. The home was warm, welcoming and relaxed. My friend was looking her old happy self, settled and comfortable. A lovely afternoon tea had been provided to celebrate the birthday, taken in a small private lounge area. Excellent. We continue to be impressed by the care and attention shown towards the residents, friends and families.
Good continuity of staff means consistent understanding of resident needs and also the ability to anticipate requirements of those with dementia. I sense a positive atmosphere, with people seeming genuinely engaged and I am impressed with the varied activities on offer.
Diolch o galon for such a wonderful review. This review means a lot to us and this feedback means so much to the team. Thank you again!
Absolutely adore this place, all the staff go above and beyond and are all amazing. My father is very happy here, extremely cared for and well looked after. They work hard at keeping his mind very active with varied activities, daily games, quizzes, outdoor activities, singing and discussion's. There is also a huge range of entertainment which is always exceptional. I would highly recommend the care home to any family looking for a home for their loved ones. Ty Gwynno is clean, warm and welcoming, making it feel like home from home.
Diolch for your lovely review it really does mean so much to us. We are thrilled that your dad is happy at Ty Gwynno and that you also feel at home! Thank you again!
Ty Gwynno staff, put on a party for VE day with friends and guests invited along. It was a fab afternoon with many of the staff dressed as land army girls etc. Wonderful atmosphere, wonderful afternoon.
Diolch for a lovely review. We are thrilled that you were able to attend this wonderful event. You are always welcome to attend any future events. Thank you again!
Staff ensure that my mother has opportunities to speak Welsh; helping with Welsh Wednesdays. Activities are innovative, varied, regular & support residents' well-being. There are strong links with the local school & the children visit termly. The staff lead quizzes, games and numerous singers & bands visit regularly. There are a range of stimulating areas where families can spend time together & provide a change of scene, including the a renovated caravan & attractive gardens.
Staff give personalised care, mention my mother's home village, make her feel special & 'one of the girls'. They epitomise person-centred care. The nursing care is also excellent & proactive to support best health outcomes. I could not have found a better home for my mother. Diolch to an amazing team!
Thank you so much for a truly amazing review. I will be thrilled to share this with the team! To hear so many positive compliments is overwhelming. Thank you again!
The care and compassion I've seen here is outstanding. This doesn't feel like a care home but a large house with lots of happy people living together. Staff are incredible and you can tell that they want to be there it's more than just a job to them and it shows.
Wow what a lovely review. Thank you so much! The observations you have made means a lot to the team, and a real compliment. Diolch o galon!
She has taken time to settle in and has said she is very happy. This is remarkable for someone who has always resisted any type of help.
They encourage residents to engage in activities which are very varied. Recently children from the local school came at Easter to sing with their beautiful Easter Bonnets.
Well done to all the staff who have worked so hard to make Mum feel at home.
Thank you so much for your touching review. It is so wonderful to hear that you mum has indeed said herself that she is happy! I know that your mum enjoys partaking in all activities with a smile on her face, and has also made some friends. Thank you again for taking the time to provide us with a lovely review!
My father has been living at ty Gwynno care home for nearly two years and I can't praise the staff enough they are always so friendly and helpful . They go above and beyond for all the residents. I would highly recommend Ty Gwynno as a care home .
