Review from Keith W (Son of Resident) published on 8 May 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

My wife was admitted into Ty Gwyn on Wed 12th Sept. She has been made very welcome and all the staff are friendly and approachable.
The home is very clean and seems to be well run. My wife has settled in well and seems to enjoy all aspects including the meals which seem to be of good quality.

Since my mother has been a resident she has been treated with dignity and excellent care by staff who seem genuinely interested in ensuring the residents' needs are met. Today, when I was visiting a member of staff called in on her day off with her young son as the residents enjoy seeing him and he
also enjoys the interaction. There is a good rapport between staff and residents with many a joke shared. Relatives are welcomed and encouraged to have input. I would definitely recommend Ty Gwyn Care Home in Penarth.

Review from Nicky (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is my second review of Ty Gwyn, my previous review being in May 2017.
My mother was in Ty Gwyn for just over a year prior to her recent passing. In this 12 months, Mum had the highest level of care and friendship from every single member of staff. Every caregiver was familiar and responsive to
her extensive, complex and constantly changing needs, responding appropriately - but keeping her wishes at the forefront.
The staff assisted appropriately steering our family through emotional and difficult decisions preparing us for Mum's peaceful passing.
We cannot thank Ty Gwyn enough for everything and will be eternally grateful to them.
If you are having to make the difficult step of placing a dear relative into nursing care I would encourage you to visit Ty Gwyn. We knew the moment we stepped into the building it was the right place for our mother. Residents and families are at the forefront of their ethos which is demonstrated in every moment of care given.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was at Ty Gwyn for almost 5 years prior to her recent peaceful death. She received care of the highest quality, delivered by superb staff with complete professionalism, empathy and genuine compassion. I do not think Mum could have received better care elsewhere - and I looked at many Homes
before deciding that Ty Gwyn was the right place for Mum. I visited nine times a week and always was satisfied that Mum was treated with skill, respect, dignity and affection. I am humbled by the dedication of all the staff - they were doing far more than "just doing their job". Additionally, they were also very supportive to me at times when I needed it, and they will always have my respect and my gratitude.

My wife was a resident at Ty Gwyn for 4 years. Her stay there was very happy.


She enjoyed the food and I have no memory of her complaining about anything during her stay there. I only missed 4 visits in 4 years, she was always presentable when I visited. I enjoyed the company of other residents and

that of dedicated staff.

Mum at nearly 94 was just showing signs of dementia when she came to Ty Gwyn. We were unaware how it would quickly unfold but Ty Gwyns staff were very patient and cared for her so well, although mum proved to be difficult at times. She experienced very happy times at the home and we are extremely grateful
that these were her dignified last days. The staff were amazing.

My 92 year old cousin was resident at Ty Gwyn from June 2015 until she passed away on 25th Feb 2016. I was extremely pleased with the care she received as well as the love and professionalism from all the staff. My cousin spent the most happiest times at Ty Gwyn while suffering from Alzheimers/Dementia
related physical/mental symptoms. The manager kept us informed at all stages, and we would highly commend her for managing the home. I would 100% recommend to anyone considering a home for their loved ones.

I am very happy to have Ty Gwyn helping me with my mum who is 97 and has been resident for 12 months. There is a unique approach which keeps everything positive. They have achieved a delicate balance between responsibility and good humour. Problems are dealt with in professional but relaxed way, when
they arise. This has reduced the pressure on me and given me the confidence of knowing that this is the right place for my mum to be. I have found this stage of my life very difficult, with a team that gives 110% has given me support. Nothing is too much trouble no matter how difficult it gets.

My father has been a resident in Ty Gwyn for nearly a year. He is very happy and has become more motivated and more mobile during this past year. The staff are so caring and friendly and really give him the time he needs. They make sure that he can fulfill his full potential to enjoy the many activities
and social occasions. I can certainly recommend this care home.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.914)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.914) out of 10 for Ty Gwyn Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.914 for Ty Gwyn Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (206 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 220 Ratings = 4.914
  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 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:

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