I have found Cwrt Enfys Care Home a lovely calm atmosphere, in a well furnished, clean, well-decorated home for my Mum. Knowing she is clean, well cared for in a safe and secure environment. To see the staff with the residents and visitors, they are marvellous, to see them getting everybody ready for
lunch is like a military operation. The nursing staff phone me regularly, whether it is a safety issue or medical. The transition to nursing care was all done for us. My mother is very happy, as are we. I am an NVQ in care and know she is having good care.

Our experience with the care/support of our son is limited at the moment. He was admitted on August 9th and since that time has had 3 admissions to general hospital due to his very complex needs. These admissions have resulted in him being away from the home for a total of 10 weeks. He has been looked
after superbly while he has been resident and is very happy to be back at the home. To the present, we are very happy to say he is in their care and hope to be always able to say so.

Mum suffered with Alzheimer's and became a resident in 2013. During her stay, she was well cared for. We found the staff to be professional, approachable, caring and always responsive to Mum's changing needs.
The home is clean, the food nutritious, home cooked and inviting. The environment is safe
and secure. We were impressed by the various activities that are organised from time to time. Also, the changing scenes which are depicted on the walls around the home.

Review from Rob H (Son of Resident) published on 20 December 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mam was already in the late stages of dementia with severe physical restrictions when she came to Cwrt Enfys and the whole staff made sure she was well looked after during her last few weeks.
She was treated with respect, dignity, sympathy and care by every single member of staff. They were all good
friends as well as carers and made her last weeks infinitely more bearable for us, her family, as well as for her.
Mam was fed, watered and abluted to a standard that would not have been possible at home nor was possible during her long hospital stay. Whenever we visited she was clean, tidy and comfortable.
Rarely have we come across such high standards of professionalism combined with such friendly, considerate treatment.
During her last hours, my brother and I were able to maintain our long bedside vigil thanks to the constant support from all the staff members, only having to leave her side for her regular comfort and medical checks. We thank you all for making that possible.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Over my 82 years, I have visited a few care homes with misgiving opinions. My involvement with visiting Cwrt Enfys covers a considerable time and it is noticed that patients respond to staff with ease. The staff reflect a calm atmosphere and a friendly approach.
A distressed patient is never ignored
and is comforted by staff. Standards of cleanliness are always high and the air is always fresh, visiting at any time of day.
Patients are always clean and presentabley dressed. Meals are well laid out and staff aid the feeding with great care.
Visitors are always welcomed with a smile. This is a statement based on fact and bears no influence by anyone connected with Cwrt Enfys.

I attended the 100th birthday of my aunt recently and was very impressed with the amount of time and effort given by the staff to organise an excellent birthday party for my aunt. This included; letting the Queen's office know and also Welsh Government, decorating her room and a separate room for my
aunt and her relatives, baking a scrumptious birthday cake and providing a tea. Also organising musical entertainment; in all ways an excellent part of their care.
Reply from Bik Choudhary, Director at Cwrt Enfys Care Home

Many thanks for your nice review. The hardworking care and activities teams work seamlessly to integrate meaningful activities into the resident's daily lives. They also love any reason to throw a party which is fun for all the residents, and a 100th Birthday is a fabulous milestone which should be celebrated! The team will be pleased with your feedback.

When this care home change ownership to Silvercrest Care I had serious reservations about the level of care that my mum would receive. However, having weathered a few setbacks, I now believe that the standard of care, the support of the carers and the activities section has improved quite drastically
for the better! My only concern at present is the number of care workers that are unable to communicate as well as should be expected. Also, I feel that there should be more care workers working the evening shift.

My sister, aged 90 has been in Cwrt Enfys Care home for 2 years. My brother and myself visit her almost every other day. We find her very happy in her en-suite bedroom or in their communal lounge. She is always very cleanly presented and speaks highly of the food and the variety of menus provided.
She
speaks very well of the courteous and caring staff. We are very satisfied and fortunate to have our sister in such a happy environment.

The nursing staff and the care staff at the home are fantastic. I feel that my grandmother is well cared for. My only concern is since Silvercrest have taken over the home, the carers do not have time to spend with the residents, through no fault of their own.
Reply from Bik Choudhary, Director at Cwrt Enfys Care Home

Many thanks for your kind review, we are glad that you feel grandmother is well cared for. We aim to provide the best possible care in safe and comfortable homely surroundings. Our staff team work very hard to ensure all the resident's needs are met, recently the dependency level of our residents have been increasing, we have placed more professional qualified staff and carers on the communities in the home as a result.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been a resident at Cwrt Enfys for just over a month now and I cannot speak highly enough of the care he has received. As we had to move him from his previous home in Sussex due to unforeseen circumstances, we made the decision to bring him closer to us in Wales. He has dementia and we
were very anxious that such a big move would be detrimental to him. However, thanks to the professionalism and support of the Manager of Cwrt Enfys, and the care and kindness of all the staff, the move could not have gone smoother and Dad has settled in far better than I think any of us could have hoped for.
He is treated with the utmost kindness and respect and I leave after each visit knowing he is safe and being looked after. All the staff are very friendly and will do everything they can to help Dad - nothing I have asked for has been too much trouble and they let me know how he is doing and if he needs anything. Moving him to Cwrt Enfys has been the best decision we've made.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We as a family understand the difficulties of caring or nursing the elderly and infirm and it can be challenging. We found that we as a family didn't feel a welcome visiting our Dad- no one ever took the time to ask how our mum was (in another home) we always had to initiate contact with staff about
dad's well being on the visits. Although at some point we were advised of concerns about dad's inappropriate behaviour we were always told it wasn't a problem, things were ok and medicine prescribed. All the family really didn't like him being there and didn't find it welcoming or friendly. Dad's last days there were distressing in the manner he was 'packed up' to leave, swift and unfeeling- no contact or follow up after he left . Manager unsympathetic and lack of concern. Dad died 14/2/16.

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.359)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.359) out of 10 for Cwrt Enfys Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 8 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 4.155 for Cwrt Enfys Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (82 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (11 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.155
  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 4.204 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cwrt Enfys Care Home is based on 8 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.8
    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 99 registered maximum number of service users is 19.8. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.8 = 0.404
  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.
