Overall, happy with Plasgellar Care Home. On occasions, it is somewhat upsetting to see my husband's chest area very wet from where he dribbles. I feel he needs to be changed more often when this happens. I have provided lots of cravats/bibs to help with this problem.
Reply from Gemma Howells, Head of Marketing at Brynmawr Care VillageThank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you are happy overall with the care at Plasgellar and really appreciate your comments.

My husband has been in Brynwood for two weeks now and from the day he arrived he has been amazingly well cared for.
The home feels warm and welcoming and my husband has space to be himself. I could see him relax into this lovely atmosphere as soon as he arrived and I feel that this has really helped
him to settle into his new environment.
The staff are clearly well trained and are always kind and respectful to residents, rapidly responding to their individual needs as they arise.
Thank you Brynwood staff, I am so glad that my husband is here with you
Reply from Jacquie Addison, Manager at Brynmawr Care VillageThank you so much for your kind review.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mam has been well looked after in the home, she seems a lot happier and healthier in the home. In her last care home she had repeated falls, UTI's and incidents of aggression, these are now no longer the case. There are plenty of activities to keep her amused and engaged, when she is in the frame of
mind to participate. It is a huge relief for me and my family, after the previous disastrous experience in the other home. Well done to the staff of the home.
Reply from Tracey Webb, Service Manager at Brynmawr Care VillageThank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are so pleased to hear that your lovely mam is happier and healthier with us. Our team works hard to provide a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for all our residents, and it is wonderful to know the positive impact this has had on your family after a difficult experience elsewhere. We will be sure to share your kind words with the team, your feedback is truly appreciated.

On the whole I find this care home to be very good, occasionally there are glitches but for the most part the care giving is excellent. Some staff are able to interact/show empathy better than others but that would be the same anywhere. Standard of cleanliness is good. The food is normally good and
plentiful. The cooked dinners on Sunday's and Thursdays are excellent. The rooms are a good sized, kept clean and tidy on a daily basis.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.522)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.522) out of 10 for Brynmawr Care Village is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.522 for Brynmawr Care Village is calculated as follows: ( (217 Excellents x 5) + (97 Goods x 4) + (26 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 345 Ratings = 4.522
  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 Brynmawr Care Village is based on 27 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 120 registered maximum number of service users is 24, which has been reached with 27 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.

Ellen Smith

Job Title: Home Manager

I am an experienced healthcare professional with over 20 years of experience supporting older people, committed to delivering high-quality, person-centred care. At Brynmawr Care Village, I lead with compassion and clarity, working closely with residents, families, and colleagues to ensure every individual remains at the centre of their care.


A standout moment in my career was supporting two young women following their dementia diagnoses. With consistent encouragement from myself and my team, they regained confidence, created a fundraising group, organised charity events, and even appeared on national television. Their journey is a reminder of how the right support can transform lives, an approach I bring to Brynmawr every day.


Kindness is at the core of my leadership style. For me, it means understanding each person’s story, respecting their wishes, and ensuring they feel valued and heard. This reflects in the culture I foster within Brynmawr, one where dignity, empathy, and individual strengths guide our work.


I also believe strongly in strengthening community connections. At Brynmawr, I actively develop partnerships with local clubs and schools, creating opportunities that enrich residents’ lives and strengthen the home’s ties within the community.


Outside of work, I volunteer at my local football club and enjoy spending time with my family, particularly relaxing at my caravan in West Wales.
