Looked after well. Grandmother seems very happy here.
Many thanks for taking the time to write this review. It lovely to hear that your Grandmother is happy.
Since my mother-in-law has been in the home I have found all the staff very friendly, helpful and very caring to her. The home is always very well kept and all staff are busy at all times when we visit. We are also notified of any changes to her health and medication. We are really happy that she is being cared for so well.
It's wonderful to read that your mother-in-law is receiving all-round good care from everyone and that you are happy. Many thanks for taking the time to write a review.
What I really want to say; is my husband is looked after so well. The staff are wonderful and if ever I need any care myself, I would only ever come to Ty Gwynno. All my family feel the same. The manager is a very nice person, and there is nothing she wouldn’t do to help. I was very pleased when she did the sponsored swim to raise money for the home. I also like to join in with the home's activities, there is always lots of fun going on.
What a wonderful review and so good to hear how happy you are that your husband is so well looked after. The team do seem to fully understand that it is not only about creating somewhere lovely for our residents to live but also somewhere that families and friends are happy to spend time. Many thanks for taking the time to write this review.
Very capable staff, thorough and caring. My mother is well looked after and monitored well. I am also pleased with the way the home deal with financial management of her money. The only criticism is her room is dark and not well lit.
Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. I'm sorry to hear that there are issues with the light in your mother's room, I will raise this with the Home. It is good to read, however, that your mother is well looked after by our team.
Friendly staff and comfortable room. My aunt seems to have settled in very well.
It's great to hear that your Aunt has settled well - many thanks for taking time to write a review.
For the length of time my sister has been at this home, we have been satisfied with the care she has received.
Many thanks for your review. It's good to hear that you are satisfied with the care your sister is receiving.
I love it here, I have made friends with a lot of people, I have got loads of friends. We have a lot of entertainment. I did not have anyone to talk to, but the staff are great upstairs and downstairs. I am not lonely anymore, I did not have anyone until I came here and I love it. Thank you for taking me in when no one wanted me.
What a wonderful review - thank you so much. It's great to know that you no longer feel lonely. It's also lovely for the team to know what a difference they make. Thank you.
I visit every week and am always happy to see the care and attention given, not only to my sister but all the residents, sometimes in difficult situations. The staff and manager keep me informed if there are any changes in my sister's health etc.
Many thanks for your review. It's great to know that your sister is being looked after well and that the communication from the Home to you is good.
The staff are very friendly and accommodating.
Many thanks for taking the time to write a review.
Thank you to the care home staff, for providing excellent care to my mother over the last two years.
Many thanks for making time to write this review. I'm so glad your mother was well looked after.
Friendly staff.
Lots of activities.
Pleasant surroundings.
Would recommend.
Thank you for your review which seems to sum up Ty Gwynno nicely.
The staff in this home are wonderful. So kind and helpful and most of all brilliant with my mother, she is very well cared for.
Thank you so much for this lovely email. It's great to know that the team members have such a good relationship with your mother.
My mother has been a resident for two and a half years. She has had excellent care and is happy and comfortable. Staff are always willing to listen to my requests and are very caring to all the residents.
Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. It does make a difference for team members to be able to see what a positive impact they have.
An excellent care home and the family are very pleased with the standard of care she is receiving.
Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. It is great to read that the home is so highly thought of.
Staff attitude to the residents is very impressive - they are hard-working, cheerful and naturally affectionate towards their charges. Residents are treated as individuals and their needs are always taken seriously. The atmosphere is always upbeat and there is a lot of laughter in the home - which was the first impression I had of the place, which made me feel it was the right place for my mum.
Staff work so hard to keep the residents entertained and the variety of events devised is impressive. These ranged last year from involvement in the RSPB garden bird survey to an appearance from an Elvis impersonator which was hugely popular. Miniature ponies also visited and activities such as gardening, writing poetry and cookery happen regularly. A lot of thought goes into all aspects of care.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. Thank you also for your ongoing support to residents and team at Ty Gwynno. What a varied selection of activities - something to suit everyone.
My relative has been a resident at Ty Gwynno for three and a half years he has had great care and attention, since he's been here most of the staff and nurses, are very caring they take timeout to talk to residents although they are busy I would recommend this home to anyone who has a relative looking for a place.
Thank you very much for your review. It's great for team members to see what a difference they make.
My mother has been in Ty Gwynno for 19 months and every time I call in to see my mum the staff are outstanding in every way. I can't recommend this home enough. It is clean and tidy and caring and the food is fabulous. 10/10.
Thank you, John, for your kind words and praise on your most recent experience of Ty Gwynno Care Home. Our residents' care and wellbeing is our number one priority, along with being able to provide each person with the best possible experience every day! We really appreciate you letting us know how...
My relative has settled in well. The staff are very approachable and good to the residents. It always looks very clean and my relative kept immaculate. We hope she will continue to be cared for until the end of her days.
We visit our sister as often as we can and always found the staff and facilities very good. From the chef who offers us tea or coffee to the staff that put on the different things that are going on to keep the patients occupied which I think is essential because I think there is nothing worse for people to be left with nothing to occupy their minds. From the cleaners down everyone is very helpful and good. Myself, I am 85 yrs young.
A friendly, homely place in to which my father has settled nicely and now regards as 'home'.
