Review from Anne G (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 February 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum and Step-Dad were at 'Glangarnant' only 6 months and both passed away at the Home. They were taken great care of and during the Covid pandemic and were kept very safe. The staff were very kind and so caring. My Mum looked 10 years younger after moving to 'Galangarnant' Sadly, they both passed
away September and October 2020 but in the short time they were there, they became very close and happy with the tender loving care they both recieved from all the staff. The Manager is just a star. I highly recomend this wonderful home.

To all the staff at Glangarnant.
I’m sure 2020, and probably 2021, will be a year that will have taken its toll.
So far you have shown just how far you are prepared to take your responsibility and duty. Surely, with the sacrifices you have made, this is more than just duty, this is a deep-seated
compassion for those you care for.
The road ahead will still be a significant challenge, but at least some of this pandemic path has been trodden and some of the uncertainties are becoming more clear with the vaccine giving real hope of some normality resuming.
I want to say a big thank you to you all. You are as much in my thoughts as the thoughts I have for my Mam and what she is going through.

My mother has been a resident of Glangarnant for 15 years and I have seen many changes. The team have transformed the home and it is now the happiest, most caring, lovely place and I couldn't be happier with the care my mother is receiving. The home always looks freshly painted, scrubbed clean, the
windows are opened for fresh air and the staff are all friendly and chatty. It's everything you hope a residential care home would be. Thank you Glangarnant.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have nothing but praise for Glangarnant. My mother spent her final five years there, firstly on the residential wing before progressing to the nursing wing.
Throughout that period the care she received was exemplary. The staff and management always acted with the utmost friendship,care and professionalism.
I
hope to find a similarly run establishment if and when I might need one!

My beloved grandmother was here for a very short time, but the tender care and loving respect shown to both her and us as a family were exceptional, the team of staff lead by the manager is really second to none. I thank you all.

Review from Margaret (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 April 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has now been a resident at Glangarnant for nearly 3 years. He was very unwell on his arrival, however within months his condition drastically improved - he gained weight, looked healthier and was in good spirit despite suffering from dementia. The staff always treat the residents with dignity
and respect and are extremely diligent - as a family we are kept updated of my father's health and well-being and if there are any issues, they are always dealt with efficiently.


There is a homely atmosphere and the residents enjoy a lounge area where they can listen to music, watch tv and play games; once a week they have a singer in the larger lounge. However, I would suggest that in future they try to improve the condition of the external patio area as it would be nice to sit outside during the summer months when visiting. The place could do with a little modernisation/new furniture, but that's a minor point given the excellent care they provide.


Well done Glangarnant!

Review from D J W (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 12 September 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The care home's sheets are very poor quality. The beds are not changed as often as they should be.
The floor behind the bed is not as clean as it should be either.
The trays are not cleaned off or is this the responsibility of relatives?
The hygiene is not up to scratch.
Reply from Wilson Ncheke, Manager at Glangarnant Care HomeAt Glarnagarnant we pride ourselves in providing the best care possible, I am extremely disappointed that there was one room which did not meet the standard of our home. The home has taken this seriously even though it has never been highlighted to us. At this stage, I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to you and thank you for highlighting this issue to us. I can assure that we will act upon it immediately.

My 96-year-old mother entered this care home having been suddenly widowed. My father had been her carer since her stroke eight years before. She was made so welcome. I couldn't believe how easily she settled down amongst her new found friends.
The care has been brilliant, She is kept well, clean and
healthy.
The family are always made aware of any problems, healthcare issues etc and a year on I am more than happy that we found Glangarnant care home for her.

Mum has been a resident at the home for over 4 years now and seems happy every time I visit her.
The carers are very friendly to the residents and visitors.
The manager if ever I have had a problem or other, has always sorted the situation.
All in all, I can fully recommend the care home for future
residents.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 38 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 38 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.947 for Glangarnant Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (429 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 453 Ratings = 4.947
  2. 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 Glangarnant Care Home is based on 38 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 38 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
