Review from M D (Brother-in-law of Resident) published on 6 June 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The quality of care received by my brother-in-law is of the highest order. The staff are most caring and considerate in what can be very trying circumstances. Their friendly nature to family and friends of their residents gives confidence to families that their loved ones are really cared for. This
is most re-assuring especially when so many care homes in Great Britain received justifiable criticism for poor care and abuse to residents in past times.

My mother was in Trafalgar Park for 9 years and had excellent care the whole time. The staff were very caring and I also had very good associations with many of them. Always welcomed whenever myself or other family came to visit.

Review from Chezelle W (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 3 June 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the moment my grandmother attended and came to live in this care home I felt at ease that she was looked after with excellent care. From her lovely room, surroundings, fantastic care and respect/dignity shown to her at all times. She loves it here and can't speak enough of the staff and wonderful
job they do. My nan has been on respite to other care homes that were the total opposite to this care home. She loves all the activities she does ie. painting, singers, tea party. She enjoys having her hair done and staff maintain good hygiene with my nan. I would not let her go to any other care home. Well done Trafalgar Park.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Trafalgar Park is a great home. Nothing is too much for the caring staff. My husband is well looked after and does not want for anything. The home is always clean and tidy and decorated with things that residents can relate to. The entertainment is always good and the staff make sure all are involved.
The food is well prepared and residents have a choice of menu. I am so pleased my husband is there and has 24/7 care from all the staff who have the patience and love to give to all.

Review from Margaret J (Resident) published on 8 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have found the staff very helpful. I don't know how I could manage without them. I am very grateful to them, as I think having to do twelve hour shifts for the work they do they deserve better pay. They try to help us to make the most of ourselves and help us with our mobility. They all have patience
with us when we are feeling down or ill.
Reply from HC-One, Careline Team at Trafalgar Park Care HomeThank you for taking the time to give us your feedback, it is always lovely to hear great things about our staff. We agree they do a brilliant job and we are pleased we have been able to increase their pay recently to the national living wage. Did you know you can also nominate specific staff to receive a kindness in care award? If you’d like to do this please talk to the home manager.

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.

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.

“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!
