Overall Experience
Extremely happy with the care this home provides. So friendly, very high standards.
Wouldn’t want my Mam to be cared for anywhere else. 5* is how I would rate it and would highly recommend to anyone.

Thank you Glan-yr-Afon care home for everything you do.

Review from John D (Son of Resident) published on 22 December 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The general care given at this home is very good indeed and the staff and managers seem to try to generate a very homely family atmosphere at all times. They have all been excellent with my Mother and with the family - I know I have found it very difficult to come to terms with my mother's dementia. We have been very lucky in finding this home and they have made my mother's final years comfortable and she seems very content with her circumstances. I cannot thank them all enough for helping us and my mother through such difficult times.

Review from Heather J (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 September 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mam was a resident here up to her death on the 22nd Aug 2015. I cannot thank the staff an carers enough for the wonderful care that my mother received during her 3 and a half years stay. Her care was second to none, mam was treated with dignity and respect by all, in fact they were like an extension of my own family. With an open door policy there was always somebody on hand to discuss issues with or even to chat with if we felt that there were needs to be addressed. The manager and her staff are the most caring people I have come across in many years. I cannot thank them enough for the care that they gave to my mam in her last days, we as a family thank you so so much.

Review from Sonia J (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 August 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Mam had suffered with her illness for several years, however in the last year really badly, admitted to different hospitals. Mam went into Glan-yr-Afon care home in May. She was given a single room which was comfortable with lovely bed linen and plenty of storage for her personal possessions. We were very impressed with the care and dignity mam was given. I was kept well informed at every stage of her care and was shown care and compassion myself which I feel has helped me tremendously at an emotionally difficult time. It is a difficult decision to have to make for a loved one to go into care but I would not hesitate in recommending this care home. Thank you all so much.
