Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Myself and my family are so pleased with the care and compassion shown to my mum who has been a resident since October 2025.
Whenever we visit the home it is always spotless and mum always looks clean and well dressed.
The staff are always busy but always maintain a cheery, positive and caring attitude
to the residents and always approachable if we have any questions.
My mum seems very happy and contented there which means the world to us.
Reply from Mandy Lanceley, Operations Manager at The MountainsThankyou so much for your review and I am so pleased that you are happy with the care and support mum is receiving. The team at The Mountains will be so happy with this review as they all work hard to ensure our residents are cared for to a high standard and their wellbeing is of paramount importance to all of us.

My Mum has been a resident at The Mountains Care Home since October 2025,having initially been placed there via Social Services.
What was a particularly difficult time for us as a family navigating the system which was made much easier by Sue and all the staff at The Mountains, who made us feel at
ease through all aspects, from the home assessment to her admittance.
Having visited my Mum at The Mountains on several occasions we can see that she is well cared for and is receiving the specialised care that she needs. The staff at The Mountains do a fantastic job in very trying circumstances and are always pleasant and friendly.
I would have no hesitation in recommending The Mountains Care Home to others.
Reply from Mandy Lanceley, Operations Manager at The MountainsThankyou so much for your feedback and I am so pleased that we have been able to support you as well as your Mum. The staff at The Mountains are very committed and value the privileged roles they have as carers. They work very hard to ensure every resident is cared for with dignity and respect and I know that they will appreciate this lovely review

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I really cannot rate this home highly enough, the staff here are quite exceptional. The patience and care they showed my husband has meant so much to me. The fact that he settled so much more quickly than I expected was due, I am sure, to the gentle humour, support and stimulation offered to him by
people who cared enough to take time to learn his likes and dislikes. The home is always clean, fresh and welcoming, my husband always neat and clean and his room immaculate and comfortable - a lovely environment and a credit to housekeeping and catering staff. My husband's health issues have always been addressed promptly and with utmost care by staff I could trust implicitly. Management and staff are never less than friendly and approachable and I would not hesitate to recommend the Mountains to anyone and offer my sincere thanks for all their care.
Reply from Therisa Galazka, Home Manager at The MountainsThank you so very much for you wonderful review Carol. Your feedback means so much to us and I will share it with the team today. It is always good to hear that our efforts in providing the best possible care is acknowledged and appreciated. Our ethos is to put all of our residents at the heart of everything we do and I am thrilled to read that you feel we are achieving this. Please remember we are here for you too and always happy to discuss any concerns you may have. Take care and Thank You again.

Review from Rachel P (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Every time I walk into the Mountains care home I'm met with smiles and friendly comments from carers, and it doesn't seem to matter how hard they might be working! I appreciate their positive and calm attitude so much, especially as sometimes I arrive worried about Mum or rushed off my feet, and their
calm accepting and patient attitude works like a soothing balm at those times! I can see how well Mum responds to this kind of treatment. Although Mum has advanced dementia, being a teacher and a very active kind of person, and a naturally born leader, she has always loved people and with her outgoing nature has always been a magnet for likeminded people. I love the way the carers recognised these qualities in her and encourage her to be herself. You're all a complete Godsend - thank you so much for all you do for Mum!
Reply from Therisa Galazka, Home Manager at The MountainsWhat a wonderful review Rachel..... thank you so very much. Mum is a beautifully kind natured lady. It has been lovely to share memories of travel with her through you and your family. It is equally reassuring to know that she has an amazingly supportive family who clearly love her dearly. We love to hear stories about you all and enjoy your visits to the home. Mum and i can often be seen to be arm in arm, humming or singing and certainly dancing! She is truly a lovely lady and we are both humbled and proud to be a part of her life.

Review from W L (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has advanced dementia, and his behaviour is very challenging at times. The home he was in previously were unable to cope with his needs and he became poorly, but The Mountains changed that within a few weeks, liaising with doctors to find the best treatment/medication for him.
Dad's behaviour
has become even more challenging, but the staff are wonderful with him, respectful, patient and kind. They are also very kind and supportive towards my sister and I, always keeping us well informed. Any health issues are dealt with quickly.
Although Dad doesn't really respond well now, there are activities every day for residents, and his dietary needs are now being met, with help feeding if he needs it.
My sister and I are so grateful to have found the Mountains and it's wonderful staff, and have no hesitation in recommending them.
Reply from Therisa Galazka, Home Manager at The MountainsThank you so much for your kind review |Wendy... we fully appreciate and understand that dad often finds it difficult to express his needs and his presentation can often be upsetting for you and your sister. However, there are moments when he can and will engage in activity and he particularly likes the sensory work. We make every effort to maintain dad's independence where possible and he is still able to make decisions regarding his menu choices, drinks and other basic needs. There are also times when dad can engage in conversation about his working life, these are special moments too. I will share your lovely feedback with the team and I know they will be happy to hear such positive comments. Of course, if you need support at anytime, please do speak with myself or any other member of the team. We are here for you as well as dad. Take care.

Review from Stephen J (Son of Resident) published on 19 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been meaning to write a formal review for some time as Mum has lived at the Mountains since last October and I have been very happy with the care she receives. Just over a week ago Mum received a visit from her sister, and two great friends, who Mum has not seen for over a year. As I felt it
was an important visit for all concerned i rang the Home ahead of time and explained, and requested the garden lounge be available for the visit. Following the visit my aunt, one of the visitors, rang me and was full of praise for the warm welcome they received, commenting that we could not have found a better home for Mum. They were supported to access the quiet lounge, then enjoyed time in the garden, too, which they all thoroughly enjoyed . My aunt said all staff were very warm and caring.
Personally, I too find all staff very committed and very supportive - the nurses, carers, housekeeping, activities team- and I have had excellent communication with the new Manager.
Many thanks all!
Reply from Therisa Galazka, Home Manager at The MountainsThank you so much for your wonderful review Stephen. It is so nice to hear that your families first impressions of the service are positive. I will certainly share your feedback with the team as it makes such a difference to morale when they hear words like 'committed' 'very warm' and 'caring'. It is of particular importance when this feedback is received from the families of the residents. We look forward to continue working with you in the best interests of mum.

I am particularly grateful for the kindness, tolerance and patience and the smile of all the carers, without exception. They help make the sadness of my wife's condition a little more bearable, and I am very grateful. What would we do without all the immigrant carers?

It is an absolute pleasure to care for your wife - she is an absolute delight. We are working with her to keep her engaged in various activity and she seems to have forged good friendships with some of our other residents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I visit my friend every week and travel from Llandrindod Wells. Having been a support worker myself, I have been in many care establishments and 'The Mountains' are by far the best that I have experienced. I am even observant. The support is excellent with plenty to stimulate, caring and all treated
with dignity and a smile. The building/rooms are comfortable and clean (no bad odours). The food is delicious.
A larger lift would be good.
Reply from Therisa Galazka, Home Manager at The MountainsWhat a wonderful review! we are so very grateful to receive such positive feedback about the Home. Every five star review not only provides us with information to continue to improve, but it allows those who may be looking for a suitable home for their loved one some insight into the Home, from a visitors perspective.

Mum transitioned from a residential care to here a nursing home with ease. Communication prior to move was good, the activity staff collected and welcomed Mum into her new home. All staff at every level are helpful, kind and very approachable. The home is busy and staff have many challenges but they
always carry out their roles respectfully and with kindness. The Mountains is clean and appears well equipped. Mums room is very nice and always well presented. Mum enjoys local trips out which has been made possibly by the fabulous Activity Team!
My experience of The Mountains Care Home is very, very good. Mum is settled and happy here. Thank you all very much for all your hard work.
Reply from Therisa Galazka, Home Manager at The MountainsHow lovely to receive such positive feedback .... we are so happy to read that your mum's transition and settling in period went well. Your observations about the busy environment is accurate and we aim to engage our residents in a range of activities on a daily basis. I too salute our Activities Team as they work wonders! I will of course share your feedback with the wider team as I'm sure they will appreciate the positive review.

Mum is very happy in the mountains care home. The staff are very professional, courteous and caring, saving me a lot of worry and frequent phone calls. Communication is very good and the activities are excellent. I was emotionally exhausted and feeling terribly guilty at placing Mum into care but now
when I visit it comes with the warmest welcome and I can enjoy quality time with Mum. It's a great comfort to see her, well cared for and happy. So thank you all for such a brilliant and vital service.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My sister spent a month in The Mountains in September while her home carer had surgery. We were a little apprehensive as she is still young, but she loved every minute.
The staff were more than welcoming, making her feel 'normal' for the first time in a long time. She enjoyed the food but was a little
limited in choice being vegetarian (hence the drop in one star).
She was well cared for, enjoyed the social aspect and the special bonus was that she could take her little westie with her. She was so content that she has no qualms about going back if she needs to.
Thank you all.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.654)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.654) out of 10 for The Mountains 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 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 4.729 for The Mountains is calculated as follows: ( (148 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 199 Ratings = 4.729
  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 4.925 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Mountains is based on 17 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 = 3.925
    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 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2, which has been reached with 17 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.
