Review from Peter A (Son of Resident) published on 11 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After my mother's first 4 months residency in Bellavista Nursing Home Cardiff, I felt I had to express how grateful my family and I are for the care she has received. My mother has improved markedly in her health and demeanour during this period, and we are always met with polite, friendly and helpful
staff on our visits. We recently attended a Family Fun Day on site, which my mother and other residents enjoyed immensely. The entertainment staff were a lot of fun, and made it work really well.
Thank you

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my mother became a resident of Bellavista in Cardiff Bay, her recovery and transformation has been immense. The staff at the home (in particular the second floor where my mum is based) are extremely attentive and the nursing staff are amazing, I always feel listened to and always can ask questions
and it's never a bother for the nursing staff to help. From entering reception, I always feel welcomed by everyone and it's lovely to have a chat with the admin staff. It's truly a relief to know that I can trust the staff at Bellavista and I have nothing but respect for all the staff here because they do nothing but their best for their patients and families.

I have been very pleased with the way my mum has been cared for so far. The staff are very caring and have spent time getting to know my mum. They are very patient and also have made every attempt to feedback to us the progress Mum has been making. I was very concerned about having to put Mum in a nursing
home but the process has been made much easier because of the staff. We are always welcomed at any time of day.

My mother has been at Bellavista Nursing Home Cardiff over six months - we feel that she is really safe and well cared for.
We all would like the cost to be lower - however, we understand the commercial reality.
The staff are excellent - so caring and genuinely engaged with my mother, they are all
polite, pleasant and helpful and there are a few who are superstars.
We know that our mother is safe - which is our main concern. The staff at Bellavista make her happy - which is a bonus.

Putting your loved one is a very difficult experience for any family, dad became too much medically for us to have him at home. Bellavista Care Home and staff are all wonderful. Dad is well cared for. The food is good, they even offered me Sunday lunch this week, vegetable are all fresh and well cooked.
Trifles and cakes all made on site. Staff are hard working always smiling and very caring. One staff member in particular does the work of three people and never stops moving, a real asset to the company. Well done and thanks for being there, all of you.

My husband has Alzheimer's dementia and was admitted to the home in May 2024. I had visited the home prior to his admission and was immediately impressed by the bright, cheerful decor and the friendly, caring staff who I met that day. I visit my husband regularly and continue to be in awe of how well
the home is run and the many activities that are organised for residents and families. I'm so relieved that my husband is in such a kind, caring environment!

The staff are very caring, the facility is very clean and always tidy. The only problem I have is the resident's laundry that keeps going missing even though it's tagged with his name. Other than that, the facility and staff are amazing.

Mum has only been in the home since December 2023 but the care provided has been excellent.
The staff go above and beyond for Mum and my dad when he visits.
Only one complaint with regard to laundry, things are very often misplaced into other rooms or takes a while to arrive back from the laundry
room.

Review from Gloria H (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 4 April 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Bella Vista Nursing Home Cardiff had recently been taken over when my father-in-law became resident in December 2106. It was apparent that many changes were already taking place with plans for many more. All then rooms had been redecorated, each had its own bathroom. Each floor was secured by codes
on entrance doors and lifts which assured me of his safety. On my father-in-law's floor there are three lounges. Residents are able to eat meals in their rooms if they wish but are encouraged to use in the dining room. There is also a theatre room with a large screen for residents to watch sports or other entertainment. Relatives are welcome.


My father-in-law has made no complaint regarding the varied selection of meals and every effort is made to provide something else if need be. He is always clean, the laundry being done every day. The care he receives is very good, staff are very kind to him even though he can be quite demanding on times.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Bella Vista Nursing Home exceeded our expectations. The care that my aunt received was exemplary. The kindness and professionalism displayed by all the staff, from the nursing team and carers were excellent. My aunt's needs were dealt with using a range of professionals brought in to enhance the
care needs that she had. She received visits from GPs and Marie Curie nurses. She also had access to a nurse that had a specialist knowledge of bed sores. She received the level of care that you would expect from a hospice. She had a kind, dignified and caring place to end her life. When you are away from your loved one it gives peace of mind to have 24-hour access to staff and it was never any trouble for them to give a report of the exact state of affairs. The senior nurses we spoke to were professional, caring and experienced in their roles. I can honestly say that I was completely confident that my aunt was receiving a very high standard of care. Thanks to the whole team.

No complaints about the care home or staff. Food seems to be at a good level and plentiful. Room has all necessities and is clean. Management always very positive. Resident occasionally complains about the long waits between food and the fact that no carer has been in for a while (although understand
that most of the time resident is sleeping).

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.485)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.485) out of 10 for Bellavista Nursing Home Cardiff is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 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 4.641 for Bellavista Nursing Home Cardiff is calculated as follows: ( (100 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 153 Ratings = 4.641
  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 4.844 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bellavista Nursing Home Cardiff is based on 13 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 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 77 registered maximum number of service users is 15.4. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.4 = 0.844
  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.
