Glan-yr-Afon

My mother has settled so well and that is testament to the care given by staff . She is far more communicative, eats well and generally much more content. She appears have a good rapport with everyone and loves her room . All good.

Thank you Glan Yr Afon to each and every one of you!

Mum came into Glan-y-Avon straight from hospital. Within a few days she had been showered, this hadn't happened in 5 weeks in hospital, her hair had been cut, the chiropodist had seen her and she started to look more like herself. When she was unwell a Dr was called immediately and she had antibiotics that night. The care is amazing, the staff are lovely. The home is clean and doesn't smell like a care home. Nothing is too much trouble. We as a family are very happy that Mum is safe and cared for so well. Thank you.

Both my mum and dad are residents of Glan-yr-Afon and have been for the past 4years. On the 11th February this year they celebrated their 70th Wedding Anniversary. I asked the Care Home to help plan a celebration for the residents and some of our family members. They willingly agreed and I donated some money to pay for the party. They arranged and prepared everthing resulting in a fantastic memorable celebration. A singer had been booked, table arrangements had been made, a wonderful arch made of white and silver balloon, a fantastic buffet and a beautiful cake. Even a special topper for the cake had been arranged and a board with mum and dad's Anniversary date on for photos to be taken under the balloon arch. Glanaravon went over and above to give mum and dad a wonderful celebration and provide the family with a beautiful memory. Even the local papers were informed and mentioned. Amazing.

I would highly recommend this nursing home to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and supportive place for their loved ones. Thank you to all the amazing staff for the wonderful work you do.

A big thank you to all the staff and Alex the manager who I have had many a chat with him about our Mother and he goes above and beyond making her stay with them a pleasure .

My Mam was a resident at Glan for 3 years and passed away in January 2026. During her last weeks the care she received was brilliant by all members of staff. There did seem to less staff than usual but it didn't much difference to the care Mam had, although I was there mostly all day. On the day the staff couldn't have been any nicer and took care to spend time with Mam and myself before the arrival of other members of my family. Can't thank them enough for that.

Thank you all at Glan yr Avon

My mother passed away in Glen-yr-afon, having spent the last 111/2 months there. It was a very difficult decision for me to take, it broke my heart. I was so scared. Once my mother was in the home all those fears went, as throughout her stay she was treated with absolute dignity and respect. I was always updated with everything. Once again, I would like to thank all the members of staff for everything they all did for mum. I couldn't of asked for a more caring environment for her.

Being from a medical background with the ambulance service I've visited hundreds if not thousands of care and nursing homes through my work life ,many I've seen first hand with level of care and compassion towards thier residents has we also had a duty of care towards our patients whilst in our care,ive just got that Glan-yr-Afon care home has got to one of the top care facilities in the country ive had the pleasure of visiting on a professional and civil level and would love to thank Alex and his staff for continuing professional care of my brother thank you.

I would just like to say a very big thank you to everyone who works tirelessly for every resident and their families x

We can not thank Glan yr Afon enough for all their hard work and the excellent care they give. I must give a shout out to the kitchen staff for the lovely food they cook, the social team who work so hard and the staff who work so hard in the laundry.

I would recommend Glan Yr Afon to anyone as it was a pleasure to visit.

The staff are all very pleasant and nothing seems to much for them.

Our family is incredibly grateful for the care and compassion shown to our mum during her final days at Glan-yr-Afon. The staff were not only professional but also genuinely kind, treating Mum with dignity and warmth. They supported us as a family too, always ready with comforting words and reassurance. We couldn't have asked for a more caring environment for such a difficult time.

My mother died in Glan yr Afon in November 2024 having spent the last 8 months of her life there. It was a difficult decision for me to arrange for her to go into a care/nursing home setting because you always fear that she might not receive the standard of care that she deserved. My fears were unfounded because throughout her stay she was handled with great professionalism and with dignity and respect. Many thanks to all the staff there.

My mother became a resident at Glan in early October, from the first meeting we had with the staff it was a very pleasing experience, very gentle conversation with Mam very patient and kind. I was kept informed every step of the way on the transfer from the hospital to Glan, Mam settled in quite well and is happy. The home is clean and well presented and the staff are very helpful kind and patient. I am so pleased that I chose Glan-y-Afon as the staff has made the transition stress-free for me. I would just like to say a big thank you to the staff.

One of her wishes was to receive her end-of-life care in Glan-yr-Afon, which was undertaken with such dignity and care by the staff so her final days were peaceful and a source of great comfort to the family. We shall be eternally grateful to everyone at Glan-yr-Afon for the care, compassion and support they gave to our mother during her final year.

I must say my wife had so much care from all the staff until she passed. She was cared for a lot, they always said she had such a lovely smile for everyone. I highly recommend Glan Y Afon Care Home to those who would their parents to be cared for. They were wonderful to my wife, many thanks for all your support.
