My mother age 97 has been living in Ty Gwynno since January 2021. The care and support she receives from the care and nursing staff are second to none. The staff will communicate with me if an issue arises and they always make sure they have consulted with my mother first. My mother will tell all who visit her that she is well looked after and all her needs are catered for. She especially likes using the buzzer for summoning support when she is in her bed at night. When I visit the staff are always friendly nothing is too much trouble, they enjoy telling me about the funny things my mother will say. My mother enjoys all the activities, especially the quiz and making things my mother and others recently enjoyed a day trip to Porthcawl where she had fish chips and ice cream: It was the day the hairdresser visited and the staff made sure those ladies who went on the trip all had their hair done to look and feel their best. I cannot thank the staff enough for everything they do for my mother.
How lovely to hear all about your mother's experiences of life at Ty Gwynno. It sounds like she has a wonderful time surrounded by a very caring team. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
We have just returned from another wonderful visit to Ty Gwynno, this time to celebrate my mother’s 90th birthday. Living a 3 hour drive away, I rely on the wonderful staff to help me with elements of preparation for the occasion. As usual, they went above and beyond, baking her the most magnificent chocolate and fresh fruit-covered cake. We were given use of the staff training room so that we had more room to celebrate than in her bedroom. A pot of tea and a pot of coffee with lovely china cups and saucers. They really can’t do enough to help. I had made a few requests for help in advance and the manager and staff had been totally on the ball, all knowing about the advance preparations which is impressive considering the number of staff there. Some of the staff have seen my children grow up and extend such a wonderful welcome. There is a lovely genuine warmth about the place and filled with so much laughter and fun. I highly recommend this home to anyone looking for care for a relative.
Thank you so much for sharing the details of your mother's wonderful 90th celebrations. It must be reassuring for you to know just how much the team do and care.
All staff are friendly and the residents are well cared for, plenty of entertainment for the residents and for visitors to join in on the fun. Always clean and tidy everytime we visit. My dad seems happy and that's all that matters.
That your dad is happy, really is all that matters. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts.
Nan is well looked after by everyone. She’s enjoying being at Ty Gwynno Care Home and has a better social life than me! She’s eating and drinking well. Nan is treated more like a family member than a resident.
Thank you for your review - it made me giggle as I often think that when I'm in our homes. Ty Gwynno really is one big, happy family.
Ty Gwynno is a lovely place to stay. The staff are so helpful and friendly. My mum has been there 2 years and is happy being there. Plenty of entertainment for all and I would definitely recommend the home, which I have done on numerous occasions.
Thank you for taking the time to submit a review and for recommending us! It great to read that your mum is happy at Ty Gwynno.
I cannot praise the staff and management at Ty Gwynno enough. They are very caring, patient and compassionate and treat the residents with dignity. I have every confidence that my father is receiving very good care. The staff are always cheerful and friendly, even though they work very hard. My father developed a medical problem last month and needed to be admitted to hospital twice. The staff promptly identified the problem and accessed the medical care he required and I was informed immediately. He has subsequently returned to the home and is doing well. He tells me that the food there is very good and they make a lovely cup of tea! There is a very good entertainment programme at the home with lots of fun activities. I enjoy looking on Facebook to see what my father has been doing. The atmosphere in the home is very happy and positive and I would have no hesitation recommending Ty Gwynno to anyone looking for care for their loved ones.
What a wonderful review, thank you so much for taking the time to submit it. It is lovely for the team to read what a difference they make all make.
Mum was welcomed into the home in November. Ty Gwynno has a warm family feel and there are always fun activities going on. Mum is always well coordinated with her clothes, which really means a lot to us as she was always so smart. She loves the food and looks really well, for good meals and all her medications. She was recently admitted for a short stay for a medical condition and the hospital doctor commented how exemplary the paperwork from the home was. Staff are always professional and welcoming.
Thank you so much for submitting such a wonderful review, covering so many elements. It is so lovely to hear that your mum is enabled to look coordinated and smart.
My sister is extremely happy at Ty Gwynno. I cannot express how kind and caring the staff are they take very good care of her. My sister is always joining in singing and dancing and when we can't get to see her, they put things that they have done or pictures of her. The care home is extremely clean, so all in all, an excellent care home.
What a lovely review, thank you so much for sharing. It sounds as though your sister is very happy.
Visit arrangements were provided promptly and updates of changing visiting conditions were provided, also. Designated areas for testing were comfortable and warm. Admin staff were welcoming and explained restrictions and testing procedures. On the whole, a very good experience and our relative is well looked after.
Thank you so much for taking the time to submit such a positive review. It is very much appreciated.
I have finally found confidence in a home that caters and support staff give me so much comfort in knowing my grandmother is well taken care of. She is happy and content at this home. Thank you so much for the lovely care you provide.
What a lovely review. It's so lovely for the team to know what a difference they make. Thank you for taking the time to submit this review.
It is lovely to see my father very happy at all times. The staff are excellent, the activities are excellent and the staff are always doing things with him and the other residents. His carers are excellent and always treat him with dignity.
What a lovely review, thank you. It's lovely to read how happy your father is.
My father-in-law has been a resident in Ty Gwynno for 18 months and we are so happy that we chose this lovely home for him to call his home, in his latter years. He is so happy and content with his surroundings and with all the staff. We always get a tale or two about what activities the residents and staff have been up to. We are so pleased to see all the photographs and videos that are posted, so families can see how happy the residents are. I know if there are any issues, the staff contact us straight away, regarding eye tests, hospital appointments, vaccinations etc. He is always clean and tidy and we know how well he eats as well. I can only praise Ty Gwynno staff and management for the care and love that is given to my father-in-law, they are all so amazing. I would and have highly recommended this home to anyone who is looking for their loved ones to live in a safe, caring and loving community. Ty Gwynno is just one big happy family - thank you all.
Your review made me smile, thank you. Ty Gwynno really is one big happy family as you say.
Amazing facilities and staff who go above and beyond for their service users. My grandfather is so well cared for and has so much fun and laughter, as a family we couldn't ask for anything more. The staff are like family and it shows how much work and love goes into their jobs at Ty Gwynno. Thank you all.
What a wonderful review, thank you so much for taking the time to submit it. Ty Gwynno really does have that family feel and it's good to hear that your grandfather is so well cared for.
I’m so grateful to all the staff at Ty Gwynno who keep my nan safe and well. I can see she enjoys the company there and is looking really well. We enjoyed a visit to see her today and it was lovely to catch up outside in the fresh air with a blanket to keep Mam warm. The staff are very thoughtful and friendly, which makes it easier for all the family, knowing she’s well looked after.
What a lovely review. Thank you so much for sharing your positive thoughts. It's great to read that your Nan is doing well.
It is our opinion that the measures taken to protect staff and residents throughout the Covid epidemic have been managed and maintained excellently and this appears to have been successful in minimising the spread of infection.
Thank you so much for submitting your review. It will be lovely for the team to read and understand what a positive impact they have. It is good to know that you are happy with the care provided to both of your parents over many years. The pandemic created huge challenges which the home, as you say, managed excellently.
The staff at Ty Gwynno are very caring of and attentive to my Mother and I know that she is safe and very well cared for there. I live 150 miles away and the staff are very helpful with arrangements for visits and keep me up to date about my Mother’s well-being between visits.
My Mam joined Ty Gwynno about 2 months ago after a 2-month hospital stay. She had always dreaded having to live in a care home but I can honestly say she looks so well and happy. She says the staff are very friendly and from my perspective, they are very helpful and will do everything to make us as involved as possible. She is eating better than she has in a couple of years and even though she is reluctant to join in with other residents she is actively encouraged to do so daily. Visiting outside has been lovely and the staff are very accommodating in very difficult situations. To see Mam safe, happy and cared for makes the transition from looking after her at home myself, to her being in a care home environment much easier to cope with.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I'm so glad the team at Ty Gwynno have been able to make such a difference, not only for your mam but for you too.
I could not recommend the care home enough. The positive impact both physically and emotionally the care home has had on my dad is priceless. Nothing is ever too much for the staff and they always inform you of anything relating to your relative, whether positive or negative. I am so glad my dad has come here.
What a wonderful review, thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts. I am glad to read that your dad is doing so well.
The safety measures in place are second to none.
Every member of staff is above expectation and always go over and above no matter what.
I cannot thank everyone at Ty Gwynno enough for the updates when we could not visit and for the care also shown to us the family.
Thank you so much for taking the time to acknowledge the great work our team members do. I'm glad your nan is safe, well and happy.
Ty Gwynno is an amazing care home and we feel so happy and comfortable that our grandmother is so well looked after and in safe hands. Nothing is ever too much for them and they continue to put smiles on the service users faces every day considering what is going on at the moment so thank you everyone at Ty Gwynno.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review.
