Prior to admission at Llys-y-Tywysog, the staff were very helpful and considerate to ensure a streamlined admission day. On arrival staff and management were very accommodating kind and helpful. Over the last few days, my mother has settled in well and is happy with the care and attention.
My mother has settled in this care home very well. She seems to be contented when I visit she praises staff and especially the food. I have no problem visiting her when I make an appointment the day before I feel happy now she's settled to the staff are very pleasant and very helpful.
I know mam is well cared for and very happy with the staff. All staff are very helpful and always there to answer any questions or concerns you have.
It has been a very difficult time this past year, especially not being able to see my grandmother, but I can't speak highly enough of the staff and activities team at present. They all go above and beyond and we as a family are so very grateful to see how happy she is. Seeing the daily updates of Facebook definitely puts a smile on our faces.
The rooms I saw were of a nice size, full of light and airy. The corridors were clean and clear and the décor was pleasant. The whole building was welcoming with flowers in the foyer and a friendly smile to greet me at the door.
I have now had my first visit with Mum in her own room for a year, and it was a lovely experience for both of us. The process was smooth and felt very safe as everyone was following covid guidelines, while having the opportunity to sit closely to Mum without any barriers. We are all looking forward to more opportunities for visiting in the coming months. Well done all and thank you.
Thank you so much for the lovely review, we are so delighted to be able to have you back visiting mum at last.
I am overall very happy with the care that my mother receives and she is very content and joins in with most activities. The quality of the food could be improved. My mother is a friendly person and is held back by her poor hearing which as of late seems to be getting worse which is very sad.
I'm happy with the care my mother has and she seems happy every time I see her.
Thank you for a lovely review, its very much appreciated
I do feel that my mother is left on her own for long periods admittedly for the last year things are different. Some staff go above and beyond their duties, others the bare minimum, nails not cut and dirty. Overall my mother is happy and settled. A little slow in allowing visitors out and in.
We are very disappointed to read that you are less than satisfied with the care at our lovely home. I would have been very happy to discuss any concerns you had with you at the end of your visit to your family member when we talked and before you left the building. However, on the follow-up call...
It has been a happy and pleasant stay. Everyone has been courteous and kind.
Thank you for your review Wendy it was a pleasure having you stay with us and we hope to see you again soon.
It's difficult to articulate in so little characters why it was the biggest mistake as a family we ever made to place a loved one here. If we had our time over we would not have been drawn into a web of deceit and would have investigated further below the glossy exterior of the establishment. The management is focused on cost reduction over care provision and this is evident from the disgruntled comments of the staff which is openly shared and heard. The caring team are limited by the standards they can achieve as a result of there being not enough staff on duty at any one time.
We are sorry you feel this way about the time your loved one spent with us at Llys-Y-Tywysog, I would like to reassure you that the staffing ratio here at Llys-Y-Tywysog is above industry standards and is monitored by our regulator and recently by Swansea Social services. Please see our latest CIW...
My grandfather has been a resident in Llys-y-Twysog for over a year now, and his care has been second to none. All the staff are helpful and caring. During the time of this pandemic, the support that my grandfather has been getting is phenomenal. The lockdown has affected his dementia quite badly, but throughout, they have been patient, supportive and compassionate. The introduction of the video calls really helped our family feel closer during this awful time, and now we look forward to the once a week visit, and we look forward to being able to see him more. Thank you to all the staff at Llys-y-Twysog for your work daily and especially during this stressful time, knowing that he is safe and cared for puts all of our minds at rest.
Thank you for your review, it is so good to know you feel that your grandfather is safe and cared for during this challenging time. We look forward to seeing you on your next visit.
My Mum has been in the residential floor of Llys y Tywysog for a year now, 50% of the time during the COVID-19 pandemic and the level of care has been excellent for the whole year but particularly since the beginning of 2020. The staff have stepped up and gone above and beyond for the residents, during a very difficult time. Their duty of care has been excellent, during what has been and still is a very scary time. So, thank you very much for all you do and probably don’t always get recognised for.
Thank you so much for your review. We appreciate your feedback and we are happy to be part of such an amazing team supporting the residents through such a challenging time.
The care at Llys-y-Tywysog is second to none. Both my mum and dad have been cared for here. The environment is welcoming, friendly and truly person-centred in care delivery. The care, skill and regard displayed by all staff to residents are outstanding and the reason why this home is a real community for residents. My parents were expertly cared for and treated with the utmost dignity. I can't thank or praise the staff highly enough. A superb care home.
Thank you so much for such a positive review. The team work hard to provide person-centred care for all of the people we are privileged to support. Thank you again of the recognition.
Take care and stay safe.
My mother was a resident until she passed in September 2019. The care she received right up to the end was 2nd to none. The compassion they showed me and my family was outstanding. So much so that my dad is now a resident. He has Parkinson's and was in hospital for 3 months after a fall. He chose to come to Llys-y-Tywysog because he knew the staff and the level of care. They have gone over and above to keep us in contact with our loved ones during these difficult times with the coronavirus. No words can express the gratitude I have for the staff.
It was a nice day out to Plantasia and fish and chip shop. A nice day out.
Thank you, the photos were fantastic!
Staff are always polite and helpful and make you feel welcome whenever you visit. Nothing is too much trouble.
Hi Stephen

All the staff are very friendly and helpful. It is these people that make the home a very friendly place.

Thank you for your review Joan.
Myself, and I believe everyone else, had a fantastic time at the panto Cinderella. It was a wonderful show for grown-ups as well as children. We look forward to our next pantomime, but I'm sorry to say it will be a while for the next one.
Hopefully, we can go to see some other show.
Hi Doreen, we will definitely be looking into some shows we can go to and see before the next Panto.
