Overall Experience

Overall a great place, my daughter was there for 6mths, wouldn’t have a problem with her staying there again if need be. Food was great, very friendly staff, lots going on daily, great tv rooms, gardens, always tea coffee and cake for people visiting and my daughter had a fab send off from all the staff when she came home.

Overall Experience
A very lovely home, all members of staff and residents are very welcoming and friendly when we visit with my young family.
My brother is very well cared for and seems very content.
The facilities are great, communal areas and bedroom room are always immaculate.

There has been great communication from care staff with family during this very worrying and difficult lockdown time.

Review from Tracey T (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 July 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My father was a resident at Awel-y-Mor for a year. He had been seriously ill after suffering a brain haemorrhage and required 24-hour specialist care. We had viewed several homes in the locality, prior to visiting Awel-y-Mor. On our first visit to Awel-y-Mor, we were shown around by a lovely welcoming carer who put our minds at ease and explained everything clearly. The first impression and general feel of the place was that of warmth. My father was cared for impeccably by all staff members who cared for him like they were looking after their own dad. Amazing place.

Review from Barry G (Son of Resident) published on 17 April 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Staff are friendly and committed, the standard of care is very high. The building is functional and well kept. Facilities are suitable and thought has clearly been involved in their planning.
Although the building isn't an old, fancy mansion and there are clearly budgetary constraints on what can be achieved at this facility. Hard work and genuinely caring employees make Awel-y-Mor excellent value and a good quality of life. It is possible to pay a lot more elsewhere but it would be hard to get more than is on offer here.

More work could be done on diet plans for residents.

Review from J H (Sister of Resident) published on 7 December 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My brother has been a resident for 2 years.

During that time, he has been well cared for. The staff are very kind, friendly, some are exceptional. They bother to get to know the person in their care and accommodate their needs/interests and build confidence.

The activities team organise events and take residents out as much as they are able - from rugby to theatre to picnics, meals etc.

The home occasionally has "restaurant evenings" where families join the residents for a lovely meal and entertainment.

Overall, he is well cared for and I don't worry that he is safe.

Review from C J (Brother of Resident) published on 27 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My brother has been in Awel-y-Mor Care Centre for about 4 years.
His main carer (our mother) passed away in 2011, but he had been in other care establishments prior to arriving in Gorseinon.
With Down syndrome and unable to communicate, he went through a harrowing grieving period.
He needed good nursing care, which he has always received in Awel-y-Mor.
My sister and I have been very pleased with the overall care.

The staff are friendly every time I visit.
