First time visiting yesterday. I was so impressed with everything, the staff, the environment, the facilities. My friend has been there for three weeks and could not be in a nicer place. I left feeling full of good vibes and positivity. Well done to everyone involved.

My mother moved into Ty Gwyn Nursing home on the 16th October 2024. This was a very difficult time for her and the family. However the staff team have been extraordinary. They are kind, caring, supportive, and extremely friendly. The nursing team are knowledgeable, reactive to changing needs , and are
well trained. The manager is visible around the home and knows every resident and leads her team well. The administrator is the nicest person you could ever wish to meet. She is caring, kind and so helpful. I often found nurse with my mother after the end of their shift just sitting and talking with her, they always made time for my mother and the other residents. An excellent home.

There is a lovely friendly atmosphere and it really does strive to make it a home from home for the residents. There is always something to do for the residents should they want to join in. My mum is looking very well since she has been there and it's obvious she is being well looked after. I am very
happy that mum is there and I feel very relaxed and at home when I go in to see mum as does she. It has a very homely feel and I often forget when I am in there, where I am.

My mother has been a resident of Ty Gwyn since 2021. The care and respect my mother has received is second to none. Nothing is too much trouble or a problem. All the staff are polite and professional. They take time with my mother to make sure she is comfortable, happy and cater for her every need.
I am kept informed about my mother on a regular basis. It was a very difficult decision to place a relative in a care home but it has turned out to be the best decision because of the outstanding care that Ty Gwyn provides. I am always met with a friendly welcome and Ty Gwyn feels like one big extended family.

Mum moved to Ty Gwyn 2 years ago. . We were told we should treat it like home from home. This has been the case all along when the family visit they are made very welcome by all the staff who have become almost like part of our extended family. I cannot praise the staff enough for what they
do above and beyond their own duties at times. Ty Gwyn has a lovely sheltered garden at the front of the building. Residents can sit out all weathers and watch the world go by. Mum and a few residents and family were out and I jokingly said to one of the nurses "all we need now is a bottle of Rosé like being on holiday lol". Ten minutes later out came Rosé ,cheese and biscuits. This is only one of the many things that the staff at Ty Gwyn do for the residents from admin to kitchen staff chatting to the residents to the activities coordinator arranging for mum to meet up with an old friend of hers from another local care home . Definitely home from home - thank you to all the staff .

The decision for our Mum to go into a nursing home was awful at the time, we knew we couldn't manage any longer but had overwhelming guilt and feelings of failure. We visited a few homes which were nice enough however when we first walked through the main entrance to Ty Gwyn we immediately knew this
would suit our Mum. The home had a light, airy and modern feel, it was warm with a lovely smell. All the staff we met were friendly and down to earth.
Anything the residents want to do or have is catered for, nothing is too much trouble. You can have friends and family in, bring children, dogs and cats, have a takeaway, hold birthday celebrations etc. All the staff are professional and kind and the management really do their utmost to make sure the residents are happy and all their needs and wants are catered for.
When the sun is out, lots of residents and their families sit outside in the garden and it's a lovely and supportive little community with a real family feel.

My 95-year-old mum went into Ty Gwyn for respite care from hospital after a fall at home and broken pelvis. As she lived independently she has had difficulty making the transition into needing nursing care. I visit frequently at odd hours, always numerous staff on duty and willing to help with any request.
The staff have been fantastic, professional management under the manager and I would particularly like to mention the nurses and the carers with whom I have regular contact. This is in no order and to the many others I see working professionally but I don't know personally. My mother came in tired, confused and anxious after a transfer. A staff member came into her room, held her hand for an hour and talked to her about life in the home, what to expect and just engaged with her (my mum would say as a person and not a sack of potatoes). She is always happy and just an angel. The housekeeping is excellent and the home always smells fresh.

My dad has only been with them a very short time, after a long hospital stay. The staff here listen to any concerns you have and act with care and compassion. My dad had a major heath crisis. The staff were there in seconds and dealt with everything, including me being in a state, professionally and
swiftly.

Putting our parents into nursing care was probably the hardest decision we have ever made however when we first visited Ty Gwyn Care Home we were met by friendly faces, beautiful decor and a feeling that they would be in safe hands. The building is light, clean and feels more like a hotel than a nursing
home. We were able to personalise the rooms which helped them to adjust to their new way of life much quicker than we had hoped for. My parents were treated with respect and the staff really do operate well as a team. The activities are well planned, the meals delicious and nothing was ever too much trouble. They were well supported and my family will be forever grateful.

I visit Ty Gwyn Care Home on a regular basis. The home is always clean and tidy and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. I mostly meet residents in the first-floor lounge which seems to be a place where residents feel comfortable and are able to interact together and enjoy a variety of activities
and develop friendships together. On the occasions I have visited residents in their own rooms, they appear spacious and residents are comfortable and able to have belongings around them from their own homes.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.932)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.932) out of 10 for Ty Gwyn Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.932 for Ty Gwyn Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (207 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 220 Ratings = 4.932

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ty Gwyn Care Home is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
