Hengoed Court Care Home has a Review Score of 8.0 (7.961) out of 10, based on 1 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Hengoed Court Care Home has 1 review.
I looked at many nursing homes before deciding Hengoed Court was the best fit. Mum was discharged for palliative care from Morriston Hospital and was sadly only in Hengoed Court for 3 weeks before she passed. However, I am so pleased this is where she spent her final weeks. Of course, the facilities and environment are stunning, but it was the care she (and we, family members) received, that was exemplary. Mum was dressed and taken into the lounge, and hairdressers etc. despite being unable to walk or communicate clearly. Many homes would just have left her in bed, but she was well looked after and staff (all levels) are genuinely caring. They were really compassionate when Mum was at the end of her life. This made the most difficult time, easier. I just wish she had been there longer.
