Every time we visit Ty Gwynno we are blown away by the extra special touches the staff have put together for the residents. All the staff are helpful, welcoming and make us feel at ease when we visit. They are extra good with the children when we visit with them.
Thank you for your lovely review of Ty Gwynno Care Home! Our team at Ty Gwynno love what they do and strive to go that extra mile to provide those extra special touches for their residents and it's great that you have noticed them. Visits from relatives and friends are very important for our...
Ty Gwynno is a caring home with friendly staff that go beyond their duty and care. My brother has been there since January this year as he has Dementia and always lived on his own, he is a very vulnerable person. He always says he wants to come home, the staff say 'You want to stay with us' and are so caring.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and that of your brother. It is such a big transition for people, particularly for those who have been on their own. I know the team at Ty Gwynno will continue to support your brother in the right way. With best wishes, Honor Keatley Managing Director
I was so nervous to see my dad in a home as I live 12 thousand miles away in Australia I couldn’t wish for anything more the staff was so welcoming and dad looked well looked after. It was clean and I loved how the staff interacted with everyone. Even now me being back home in Australia whenever I ring they make sure he gets that call even if he is having a bad day. I am not nervous anymore he is having the best time meeting people and doing everyday activities. I would like to thank every one of you for looking after dad and giving me peace of mind.
What a fantastic review and so reassuring for other people looking for a care home who too, may live abroad. It's also lovely for the team to read your comments and to see what an important impact they have not only on their resident's lives but also on those of the wider families. Thank you so much for taking the time to write and for giving us a 5* rating! With best wishes.
Hello you lovely people, yet again I was very impressed on my last visit to see my wonderful mum-in-law. More improvements again, lovely to see the flowers that have been painted on the glass upstairs, and as usual very clean and airy. Staff and residents are very friendly and happy, just like an extended family, makes you feel at home. I look forward to visiting, so relaxed and comfortable. Updated signing-in system is digital, far better than signing a book. So you see not only the residents and visitors are their priority, security is high on the agenda. Well done to you all, it’s been a pleasure. I will rate you A** because you deserve it.
Thank you so much for your comprehensive and thoughtful review. It's great for people beginning their care seeker journey to read first-hand reviews. With best wishes, Managing Director.
I can’t imagine anywhere better where my father could be. The carers are fantastic, especially the seniors, and he loves the food! I count us both as very lucky, as I knew nothing about care homes before having to make the big decision that my parents weren’t able to continue living at home 2.5 years ago. The fact that I live a long way from home means it’s that much more important to know dad’s well looked after.
I absolutely agree with you regarding the food. The whole team are second to none!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
With best wishes
Mum has been a resident for 3 years now. She has received the best of care since being there. Treated with care, respect and dignity. I would not want her anywhere else. Staff go above and beyond for their residents and the atmosphere is always cheerful. Cleanliness is 2nd to none and the fresh food they provide and prepare on the premises is good quality. Outstanding staff, who make a real difference to the resident's well-being.
Ty Gwynno is a special place to be.
With best wishes,
It is obvious as soon as you walk through the door that the staff care about the resident's well-being. The daily activities they organise stimulate the residents. It's very heartening to witness the interaction between the carers and the residents.
What a lovely review. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience.
With best wishes
My husband has been a resident in Ty Gwynno for 5 months and the staff are exceptional. They not only care for him, they look after me too and provide every possible means to stimulate and entertain their residents. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming and inclusive. They treat everyone with dignity and kindness and constantly look for ways to support families and friends when visiting. I know he could not be in a better place.
With best wishes.
Ty-Gwynno Care Home has a really warm and caring feel to it. All staff are very welcoming and professional and you know your family member/user is getting the best care that they can possibly have. A home where the residents are part of a larger family-like setting being cared for 24/7. Very happy my aunt is here, peace of mind that the staff really care about the service they give to the residents.
With best wishes.
Staff are always busy seeing to the residents and very attentive. Dad is very settled at the home and likes to be in the company of the other residents. Always lots of activities going on at the home, with regular updates on social media.
With best wishes.
I couldn't think a home could be any better in my opinion, and it's nice to see they are also constantly making improvements to the home to make it better for residents and more homely. 10/10.
Ty Gwynno really is a very special home.
With best wishes.
He transferred from another home to Ty Gwynno Care Home on Wednesday 19th of April. My wife (his sister) and I on yesterday's visit to Ty Gwynno were immediately impressed by the professional attitude and overall friendliness of the entire staff. Our daughter, her husband and their son, who is graduating to be a doctor next month, said they are 100% professional. So well done everyone.
I look forward to meeting your brother-in-law during my next visit to Ty Gwynno.
They really are a special team.
With best wishes,
Honor
Words cannot describe how grateful we are as a family and under the unfortunate circumstances we have experienced some of the best carers, nurses and managers with such strong communication skills, empathy and professionalism. The team here just go that extra mile. They say they are just doing their job, NO you are angels in disguise you went above and beyond in our view. Thank you so, so much Ty Gwynno Care Home you all will be in our memories forever.
The team at Ty Gwynno really are fantastic!
With best wishes,
Honor
The care home provides a wide range of activities that keep her engaged and entertained, from quizzes and crafts to movie nights, my wife’s nan always has something to do. The staff also take the residents out for day trips, which my wife’s nan always looks forward to.
The food is delicious and home-cooked. My nan particularly enjoys the Sunday roast dinners.
Overall, I am extremely happy with the care home and the care my wife’s nan receives. The staff go above and beyond to ensure the well-being of the residents and I cannot recommend Ty Gwynno enough.
With best wishes,
Honor
The staff are very professional and are always helpful and supportive. I like the range of activities provided for the residents and the food is consistently to a high standard. Overall, I am very happy.
With best wishes,
Honor
My dad has been a resident of Ty Gwynno since March 2021. He is very settled in the care home and is well cared for by the staff. The carers go above and beyond to ensure that Dad's needs are met. They inform me of any concerns they may have about Dad's health - communication is very good. This is important as I don't live close to Ty Gwynno. I'm very happy with the level of support and care that Dad receives.
It's great to read that you're happy with the level of support and care your dad receives.
With best wishes,
Honor
As a result, I had no concerns about my dad becoming a resident, in fact, it felt like coming home.
All the staff have welcomed him, and our family, with open arms and he is settling in well.
Thank you for writing your review.
With best wishes,
Honor
My comments on the opinions say it all, but my experience of Ty Gwynno is as always excellent. My wife and I are both treated as members of the family every time I visit my wife there is always a friendly greeting, the staff are so caring and loyal. The nursing is always attentive and efficient. Both my wife and I will not have a bad word to say about the staff.
What a lovely review and great to hear that you think Ty Gwynno is always excellent! Thank you so much. It will be great for the team to read your review. Best wishes, Honor Keatley, Managing Director.
I visit my mum in the care home at least four times a week and on every visit, the staff are welcoming and friendly. They are able to answer any questions I might have, regarding my mum. They ring if they have any concerns about anything and do all they can to help. Mum is happy and content being there and well looked after. I have recommended the home to people who have asked me about it and will continue to do so.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful review. They really are a fantastic team and it's great to read your thoughts. Best wishes, Honor Keatley, Managing Director.
My Aunt came to the care home in January 2022 after being in hospital since September. The staff are amazing with the residents always happy and polite and having laughs with them. They have also been amazing health-wise with my Aunt and they have called the doctor out immediately when they have any doubts at all. I couldn’t be happier with her placement here.
Many thanks for taking the time to write such a great review. It's wonderful for the team members to read what a difference they make.
