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.

Reply from Val Stan, Home Manager at Ty Gwyn Care Home

Many thanks for such a lovely review. We do feel we are an extended family for our residents and relatives. I will pass your amazing message to our care staff.

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.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

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.

Reply from Val Stan, Home Manager at Ty Gwyn Care Home

Many thanks for your warm comments. We are happy to look after your mother and make her stay with us easier and smoother. She is always more than welcome to come back. I will pass your lovely message to all our staff.

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.

My wife has been in your care nearly three years now and in that time, she has been treated as a person, not as a number. I have got to know the staff by sight, if not always by name! If they have any concerns about her well-being, I am kept informed. I am always made welcome when I visit, so I rate
your care highly.

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.

My father has been a resident of Ty Gwyn since December 2022. We feel the home provides a friendly and happy environment.
Whenever I visit, the staff always seem to impart information on what my father has eaten and done that day, without being asked.
The home is kept spotlessly clean and the food
is good.

I am always kept up to date with Mum's care and any changes in her needs.
She has been at the home for nearly two years and I have complete peace of mind that she is looked after 24 hours a day.
Everyone is always pleasant and helpful when I visit and as I live some distance away, visits are infrequent
for me so I rely on speaking to my mum several times a day.
Whenever I ring to ask about something or when I e-mail I always get a positive response.
Thank you to all involved.

A heartfelt "Thank you" to Ty-Gwyn and all the caring/friendly and dedicated staff who cared for my Mum over the last 4 years. The care, compassion and dignity given to Mum and ourselves was second to none and helped us through these very sad times. Over 4 years, we were treated with respect by staff

My brother has been in Ty Gwyn for 5 months after undergoing hospital surgery which left him unable to care for himself.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.868)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.868) 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.868 for Ty Gwyn Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (153 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 174 Ratings = 4.868

  • 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 15 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 15 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.
