Friendly and helpful and experienced staff. Couldn't ask for better.
Many thanks for your kind review - we are very glad that you are happy with the home and the staff will be delighted for your kind review.
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.
Thank you very much for your kind review. We always aim to provide the very best levels of care and we are glad that you feel your sister is receiving this. We believe that Cwrt Enfys is the best care home in the area and we are always looking at ways to improve. Your comments will be greatly appreciated by the hard-working team at Cwrt Enfys.
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.
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...
Staff are very good. Always have a good welcome. Mother is happy there.
Many thanks for your kind review, your comments will be greatly appreciated by the hard-working staff team on all the communities at Cwrt Enfys.
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.
Thank you for your kind review. We are very pleased your loved one has settled well into the home. We have some wonderful team members in the home and your comments will be passed onto them. We are always looking at ways to improve the facilities and services we provide, we pride ourself in maintaining high standards across the board.
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.
My husband is a resident at Cwrt Enfys, the carers work efficiently as a team ensuring that each resident is treated with dignity. Their safety is paramount, the care and empathy given to residents from a physical and emotional prospective excels staff always accommodate and give family and loved ones a welcome and are always at hand to discuss anything about loved ones, ensuring piece of mind. Everyone works as a team at Cwrt Enfys to ensure the highest standard of care is delivered.
This is a lovely endorsement of the care given by our dedicated team at the home and they will be thrilled to read this. Thank you so much for taking the time to review the home.
All the staff are very friendly. The food is excellent and good quality. The staff provide a variety of activities which the clients all enjoy. The only negative thing I can report is that I find my bedroom too small.
We are always pleased when residents and relatives recommend us to others - the staff will be delighted to hear this. And our Award winning chef is such an asset to the home with lots of home made cakes and carefully prepared meals - good to hear that your relative enjoys the food. Thank you
I am very pleased with the level of service this care home provides. I also have noticed a significant improvement recently with the change of management.
The change of ownership could have been a difficult time but we made every effort to make it as seamless as possible so your comments are very welcome. With the new owner and a new manager in place we are talking to residents and relatives about further improvements. So please contact the manager if you have any suggestions - thank you.
The staff in the home always been very welcoming, they meet my mother's needs well. The home is clean, well organised and warm. The food provided is plentiful and appears a good quality. The staff make an effort in entertaining the residents and have regular social events organised monthly.
Thank you for the lovely comments which I will pass on to the staff. We are delighted that you are pleased with the care and agree that the social events are greatly enjoyed by the residents. The Male Voice Choir was certainly a hit in December.
