My mother been in the home nearly a year now. Making the decision to put my mother in a home was the hardest thing we've ever had to do. The Manager and his team made it alot easier for us.. He reassured me that my mam would be looked after and that everything was going to be ok. He did just that! The
carers are absolutely amazing with mam. They are all very hard working, kind and approachable. The home has entertainment for the residents, on a regular basis.. which my mam loves. The activities co ordinator, is fantastic with mam.. She is hands on with all the residents.. My mam receives I very high standard of care, the food is beautiful and when you visit the home, its got a lovely warm vibe to it. The home wouldn't be run like this without the brilliant management team. Never met someone so humble, so professional and so kind.. any issues I have, he address them straight away. Thank you for everything Ael Y Bryn

My mum recently moved to Ael-y-Bryn on 14.7.25. She was very happy when she entered the home and was thrilled with her room. All the staff made us both feel very welcome and helped with her belongings. She has settled in very well and I'm able to call in and see her anytime which has made this first
week very easy as I've called in everyday. I can't thank the staff enough for all they do it gives me piece of mind that I know she's happy and well looked after.

Reply from Andrew Williams, Home Manager at Ael-y-Bryn Care Home

We are really pleased mum has settled so well. It has been lovely to see how quickly she has made new friends and gets fully involved in all activities provided in the home with a smile on her face. Thank you for providing us with feedback-i will pass onto the rest of the team.

Realising a loved one needs care is sobering, and finding the right home can feel overwhelming. I can't express how grateful I was to find Ael-y-Bryn. My mum had previously spent six months in a much larger care home (around 70 rooms), but it always felt impersonal, and her care seemed compromised.
From my first visit to Ael-y-Bryn, I felt reassured. It's a smaller home (around 30 rooms), which creates a warm, intimate atmosphere-exactly what my mum needed. The carers were familiar faces who built genuine bonds with residents. Their regular Facebook updates gave lovely glimpses into daily life and always brought a smile. Although my mum has now passed, I never once regretted choosing Ael-y-Bryn. It was the best possible place for her final chapter. I hope this review helps others on a similar journey and puts Ael-y-Bryn on their radar.

My Mam has been in Ael Y Bryn since 30th of January 2025. This was an emotional and daunting time for us all but the staff at Ael Y Bryn have been amazing and have provided ongoing support not only to my Mam but also to me and my sister as we've tried to adjust to this massive change in our lives. My
Mam means the absolute world to me and I can't thank the staff enough for the care and attention they provide to her. I feel welcome at any time, and phone in between visits for updates and nothing is too much trouble. I even have a chat with Mam on the 'phone which is brilliant.

My Mum is currently there and has received excellent care from the get go. Only 30 placements so more intimate. Great room downstairs as requested .. entertainment is superb too and celebration of the main events like Mothers Day Easter and Rugby Internationals etc. hairdresser nail and feet manicure.
Love the garden and the icecream van. However increase in fees in April 2025 by £100 a week!! seems extortionate and with no warning considering my Mum only arrived at the end of January 2025.

Reply from Andrew Williams, Home Manager at Ael-y-Bryn Care Home

Thank you for taking time to leave us your feedback.R.e- Fee's increase every April. Letters are sent out weeks in advance to every family to notify of any uplift. The home has heavily invested in several key areas to improve all aspects. Sadly this comes at a cost we feel we can justify. We remain more than in line with other providers in the local area.Really happy mum has settled so well & you are really pleased with her care & all entertainment we provide.

I cannot thank the staff at Ael-y-Bryn enough. My mum has recently had to move into residential care which hasn't been an easy decision. However the staff made the transition so smooth and as stress free as possible. The manager is so friendly and approachable and always willing to listen to any anxieties
I had when mum moved to Ael-y-Bryn.
The activities coordinator who organises the entertainment is absolutely amazing - she brightens up my mums day and I'm so grateful for everything she does. With regards to the carers - they go above and beyond! They know my mum so well and treat her with respect and maintain her dignity at all times! All so kind and approachable and I know my mum on times can be very demanding. They have so much patience and I'm so so appreciative of each and everyone of them. Thank you all!

My mother is very well looked after at Ael-y-Bryn. The team make a real effort to get to know each resident as an individual and treat them as such, remembering the small details such as how they like their cup of tea and where they like to sit. Any changes are noticed and acted on quickly so that the
level of care is always exactly what the resident needs at that time. Mum's recent recovery from a serious illness must be due in part to the prompt actions of the care home team. For me, however, the biggest point of difference is the sense of family at Ael-y-Bryn, not just for Mum but for us, her true family as well. Mum is treated with real affection and warmth by the whole team and as her daughter, I am always made to feel welcome at the home and that I'm a part of her daily life and ongoing care. I'm kept up to date with Mum's wellbeing and immediately told of any health concerns and included in any decisions to do with her care. All in all, Mum is happy and content at Ael-y-Bryn.

Since my sister has been in the Ael-y-Bryn Care Home she has improved beyond my expectations. She has become more aware of everything more than I could have hoped. She's now more talkative and her health has improved beyond anything I could have wished for. The staff have been exemplary, caring and
look after everyone there. Her birthday was celebrated 2 weeks ago and the staff even provided a birthday cake for her and had candles on it as well. I cannot find the words of how grateful I am for the care she is receiving. Thank you everyone.

My aunt is receiving excellent care at Ael Y Bryn. The home provides a wide range of activities to keep the residents engaged. This includes singers, choirs and local primary schools visiting the home. As well as the in-house therapist who herself keeps the resides occupied. My aunt greatly enjoys all
of these which keeps her mind active.
She can be picky with her food but there is always a range of food for them to choose from.
The staff are always quick to react to any medical matters that arise which did happen to my aunt in recent months. The issue was identified and was acted upon promptly to resolve the matter.

I am over the moon and back with the care my mum receives and as a family, have been happy for the 2 whole years she's been in Ael-y-Bryn.
We are all cared for (our family included) by everyone. When we met originally with the management team who came to assess Mammy 2 years ago, we were told when
you decided for her to come and live at Ael-y-Bryn, as well as Mammy, you will also be classed and welcomed as our family. They weren't wrong, on every visit (we go on a daily basis) we are treated with love and every member of staff is welcoming and interested in us as her daughters,
We have an amazing relationship with every member of staff, they fill each day with happiness and love. We will forever be grateful and will love you and hold you in our hearts forever. Ael-y-Bryn!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.918)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.918) out of 10 for Ael-y-Bryn 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 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 46 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 4.918 for Ael-y-Bryn Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (510 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 551 Ratings = 4.918

  • 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 Ael-y-Bryn Care Home is based on 46 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 46 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.

I can put my hand on anything and love to work on any home improvements.


Outside of work I am a dad to 4 wonderful children and love a pint of Guinness to watch the rugby at the weekends.
