Mum has been at Trafalgar Park for 18 months and settled in quickly. The staff have been great and mum likes them a lot. The care home is always welcoming and clean.


Special praise for the care home manager and the two senior carers who have always been very professional and extremely kind. We didn't

think we would be able to take mum to her granddaughter's wedding as as she is not very mobile anymore but the manager made it happen with the help of her team, and the loan of the care home minibus!

All the staff from the manager down have a caring, sympathetic nature. The staff are patient and spent time persuading residents to eat their meals, drink plenty of fluids and partake in activities. Resident are always nicely dressed, presented, and treated with respect.
A trip to the seaside has
just taken place, with a street party and concert. As with all good organisations, leadership is vitally important, and the home now has good management which knocks onto the staff.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
It is a very upsetting time watching someone you love suffer with dementia and deteriorate before your eyes but the care my nana receives from Trafalgar Park is wonderful. Every time I visit I am met with a warm welcome and the feel that the carers really care about my nan. I recently had a baby and
the care home allowed me to email pictures which they took to show my nan. It really meant a lot as I live a few hours away and don't get to see her as often as I'd like.

We were so happy to find out that out mum was coming to our niece's wedding. Trafalgar Park had given her a carer for the day so she could come to this event. The care was brilliant and looked after her so well and joined in with our family brilliantly. Just watching the care our mum receives in the
home and outside shows what dedicated caring staff there are at Trafalgar Park. Thanks.

Since being a resident for around sixteen months I have found the staff very helpful and respectful. All my needs have been met. Even when they are short staffed they try their best to be at our attendance. They deserve much more time to themselves and more pay but they still do their best for us. They
certainly deserve our respect.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.747)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.747) out of 10 for Trafalgar Park Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.747 for Trafalgar Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (183 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 233 Ratings = 4.747
  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 Trafalgar Park Care Home is based on 21 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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, which has been reached with 21 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.

Job Title: Home Manager

Introducing Thomas Roche
Home Manager at Aberpennar Court, Mountain Ash
What does ‘kindness’ mean to you?


“Making care person-centred and ensuring we do it properly; to the best standard and best of our ability.”


As a dedicated healthcare professional, Thomas has gained a wealth of experience in providing care and nursing support to elderly people, to enrich their lives. He is a knowledgeable and dedicated leader who is passionate about delivering the highest standards in care and quality of life for residents.


Thomas closely shares HC-One’s vision in aiming to provide the kindest care for each and every resident. He extends this caring approach to his colleagues and works closely with them to deliver care and support to residents in a way that they gain the most benefit, in a warm and welcoming home.


When asked about why he chose to work in the care sector, Thomas remarked:


“Everyone needs help sometimes. We've all been in periods of our lives where we need someone to help us, regardless of age. I feel privileged working in the care sector and giving people the help they need.”


Thomas talks about his proudest achievement when becoming a father and having to rebuild his house after severe flood damage on his own, finishing it three days before his son was born!
