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.

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

Many thanks for your review. I will pass the message to Ty Gwyn staff. We are very delighted that you are happy with the care provided and your father is very settled here.

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
who would always go the extra mile! A welcoming residence that gave us confidence and trust of our loved one in their care. We will always remember Ty-Gwyn with appreciation and gratitude.

My brother has been in Ty Gwyn for 5 months after undergoing hospital surgery which left him unable to care for himself. He is heavily dependent on the care home staff, who have been very supportive of his needs. I have found the manager and admin staff efficient and always available to respond to any
questions I have.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

It was a very difficult decision, putting my much-loved mum into a nursing home, particularly as she desperately wanted to retain her independence but after several falls at home, concern for her safety and care made it essential. Ty Gwyn is run in a very professional, caring manner meaning we can all
rest, knowing Mum is well looked after and safe. The staff are all extremely kind and friendly and it is lovely to see her laughing and joking with them. She very much enjoys the activities that the staff put on during the day, something that I think is important to give all the residents a sense of purpose and achievement. Due to the situation with covid at the moment, the limit on visits is obviously not ideal but hopefully, once the warmer weather comes, we will be able to enjoy the lovely outdoor area safely.

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

I would like to thank you with all my heart for your beautiful and encouraging words. It is a pleasure to look after your mum and also a pleasure to meet you and have you as part of our big Ty Gwyn family. Hopefully, we will have a summer fair this year to enjoy the garden and meet all the other relatives.

I cannot begin to say how thrilled I was to join via zoom in Ty Gwyn 's Christmas Carol Concert on Sunday the 19th of December. The service was very well prepared and the residents who took part in the Bible readings, were very clear and were encouraged and supported by the chaplain and carers. The
highlight for me was to hear my mother singing at the top of her voice the various carols and it took me back to the times when she would sing in our chapel where she would attend every week. My mother is so happy in the home and it's such a comfort for us to know that she is so settled. Thank you very much.

I moved my Dad from another Care Home in the Vale of Glamorgan to Ty Gwyn in Penarth in August 2021 due mainly to restrictions from the coronavirus and his failing psychological health, the factors being not being able to see his family frequently or allowed to come out safely for short trips without
returning to strict isolation for 2 weeks. Ty Gwyn are, of course, governed by strict safety guidelines (LFT's masks etc) but TY Gwyn made it possible for us to regularly see Dad/take him out and the change in my Dad is enormous. He is happier, looks better physically and improved psychologically. The manager and staff are kind, supportive and professional.

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

It is a pleasure and an honour to have your father at Ty Gwyn. We are all so pleased that he is happy and content with seeing his family regularly now. During this difficult time, we try our best to enlighten our residents' lives and keeping in close touch with families is our duty of care as well. I will inform our care staff of your lovely review.

When I was looking for a nursing home for my mum, a lot of friends from the Penarth area recommended Ty Gwyn Care Home. So I felt a certain amount of confidence. Although putting a relative in care is a difficult decision for any family member to make, the process and staff at Ty Gwyn were wonderful.
My mum is very happy and settled there, it is a huge weight off my shoulders, as I am not local to Penarth. They are caring, kind and always happy to help, ensuring Mum's best interests are served. My mum always looks well dressed she has her hair done every week and her nails, attends various craft and activity sessions. They have an amazing activities coordinator who puts together a weekly programme for them. Mum also enjoys the food, always telling me how lovely it is.
During Covid, the staff have been extremely effective at following guidelines to minimise risk to residents.

The manager runs a very good nursing home. She and her office manager, are very responsive to any requests and are very pleasant to deal with. The manager noticed my mother needed some more night garments which, with covid measures, we hadn’t ourselves noticed. We appreciated this kind thought and replaced
them immediately. The front garden is full of stunning flowers which makes our outdoor meetings a pleasure. Mum is happy in the home and likes the carers who take an interest in talking with her. Keep up the great work, Thank you.

Exceptional care given with injections and overall well being. When my mother lost her eldest son the support given before, during and after the funeral was uplifting and so appropriate. The Chaplain was a bridge between us during the lockdown and would make it possible for us to communicate directly
with my mother. Thank you very much. Diolch yn fawr iawn.

My lovely Mum spent her last 7-months at Ty Gwyn and sadly, but expectedly, passed away a few days ago. During this end stage of her life, she received the kindest and most professional care from every single person who looked after her, and words are not adequate to express how grateful I am to all
those wonderful people. If she could have, I know she would have too. I hope her beautiful smile was enough to let you all know how much you meant to her...and to me, for caring for her so well. Even during these strange times of COVID regulations, lockdown and shielding of our vulnerable elderly, I was always made to feel involved and up to date on all that was happening to my mother. And at the very end, I was still able to be part of my mother's last few days, whilst maintaining safety for all concerned, in a sensitive and humane way.
You all know who you are, I hope you all know how truly amazing you have been in my mother's life, and mine. Thank you.

Before we placed my wife in Ty Gwyn, my family and I looked at various homes. We were unanimous that Ty Gwyn was head and shoulders above the rest and were glad they had a vacancy (about 4 years ago now). All friends and family are impressed when entering the home. It is well decorated and always scrupulously
clean. The staff are friendly, professional and hard-working and I am always confident to leave my wife in their care when I leave. It is an excellent, well-run home, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a home to care for a loved one.

My mother had been to a few homes some for respite as my Dad was mums carer, but when dad passed we needed a Nursing Home for Mum. We are so, so pleased that Mum is here at Ty Gwyn. Mum is always clean, it always smells nice, her room is spotless, always a window open, the staff are amazing and a credit
to the care industry. We have seen that mum is happy at Ty Gwyn. If I had to criticise the home, it would be to clone the staff for all the other Nursing and care 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.
