I would highly recommend any family to use this home. My friend is so happy!
I enjoyed my visit to Llys-y-Tywysog. Would be quite happy to come again if the need arises. Plenty of activities, happy most days.
It was the first time in respite for my father, he has been very happy and settled in very good and has enjoyed his stay at Barchester Llys-y-Tywysog. The staff were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them to do. We will definitely come back to Llys-y-Tywysog if we need to put my father in respite again.
My nan is always so happy here. The food is lovely. The entertainment is great!
Mam has been a resident here for two months. She has settled in quickly and this is reassuring for the family to know that she is cared for, happy and more importantly safe.
I am very happy with the home and the staff, Mum has excellent care and has joined in all the activities
Following 2 major operations and a fall, I decided to go to Llys-y-Twysog for respite care. I loved it so much that I extended my stay by 8 days. The staff are amazing and really go the extra mile to take care of you. The food is excellent and the chef made sure that any dietary requirements were met. If there was something I didn't particularly like, he would offer an alternative.
Very friendly staff, great activities, food is of a high standard and a good choice is always available. Management and staff are always helpful with any queries etc. Residents are always treated with dignity and they have great support from the staff. All residents have a smile on their faces whenever I visit and that tells me it's a very happy place.
My gran has only recently moved in and has settled in well. All staff are fantastic, all go above and beyond. The range of activities is also fantastic.
Very good service starting from the home visit. Everything was explained in great detail, found the manager very helpful with things relating to outside of the care home. The staff are very pleasant and hardworking. Mam has settled down very well and it's quite nice to know she is in safe hands and the cakes are lovely.
Very good. Came for respite after a hip replacement but have now decided to stay here and sell my flat. Excellent care which I so badly need, day and night. Very good standard of food, plenty of choices. The activities organised are very good, quizzes, music, games and physical activities. Various visits organised, I have been on two in my first three months here.
There is room for improvement in some areas but overall facilities, care, kindness and well-being for residents are acceptable. All members of staff are professional in their approach and understanding of residents' needs. On occasion, they are understaffed and pushed to the limit but still provide a good service. My main opinion for improvement would be more staff on each shift.
Llys-y-Tywysog provides a real home from home. Its staff are friendly and caring and there is always a warm atmosphere when you visit.
We have found the staff to be attentive, and very helpful in all areas. Weekly activities-brilliant ideas, Mum loves playing carpet boules on a weekly basis. Keep up the good work
All staff were excellent in the birthday party for my friend, 100 years, but the activities coordinators topped the lot.
My friend's birthday party was organised very well. The activities coordinators were very very kind.
To all the staff, I can't thank you all for a lovely party that you made for my friend.
Great enthusiasm and help given for party.
Thanks.
