  • The Rhallt Care Home, Welshpool
In a semi-rural location on the outskirts of Welshpool, the Rhallt provides both nursing and dementia nursing care. It is close to local amenities and within easy reach of Shrewsbury, Oswestry and Newtown. Yet a few miles up the road is the beautiful Welsh countryside.

They provide 24-hour nursing and respite care alongside expert care for people with dementia, including in their Memory Lane Community. They also provide care for those with a range of nursing needs.

A team of highly-qualified and dedicated staff really focuses on the individual needs of residents with a tailored care plan for each person. This dedication can be seen throughout the home in cooking, hospitality and organising activities for residents.

The Rhallt welcomes visits to its facilities at any time.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My brother entered The Rhallt Care Home from his home where he had lived on his own most of his life. We were worried that he worried that he wouldn't be able to settle in as the Covid virus was preventing us from seeing him regularly. The time we did see him, the staff were very friendly and genuinely
caring towards him as he was quite a stubborn character, they let him use the phone to talk to us whenever he wanted. It looks a very friendly, clean, spacious home. I would go there myself.

My Mother in law was transferred to The Rhallt mid COVID lockdown. It has been lovely to see how settled my mother in law looked during a recent "garden visit" and how happy she was there especially not mentioning once that she wanted to go home. The Manager and all the staff have been so supportive
and cheerful and kept us updated during the difficult times of restricted visiting. It is also lovely to be able to follow the activities that the residents are participating in on social media.

In the area, The Rhallt is definitely the best option for frail elderly nursing care. The facilities and building provide a good environment, and the communal areas are well provisioned. The staff are well led and work to the home's requirements.

Review from Linda O (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 February 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother had been in The Rhallt for over two years before her death in December 2019. I can honestly say she was looked after very well, especially towards the end of her life. There were little things that maybe I didn't always agree with but found if I spoke to a member of staff or the nurse in charge,
very often led the issue was resolved very quickly. The only negative point I have, three weeks before my mother passed away there was an outbreak of S&D and her unit was closed to visitors for nearly one week. Had I been able to visit, I would have seen my mother was quite poorly and advised them to seek medical advice. In my opinion, more should be done to stop outbreaks of S&D so loved ones can be visited all the time.

My mother received excellent care at Rhallt. She was only there a short time in which she was well looked after. We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. The staff went to great lengths on Christmas Day to make my mother and her family feel comfortable and welcome.

Rhallt House filled my Aunt's last months with such joy. The staff were so caring and not rushed, (although they had many, many tasks to do they always had time to listen and chat). The fun activities were excellent e.g. Punpkin faces, fish and chip supper, parties and more. Team leaders were exceptional.

I chose Rhallt Home for my father initially for respite care in the summer, which went well for Dad. After Dad's health declined we accepted we could no longer keep him safe at home. He moved into Rhallt Home and settled quickly and well. His lovely room soon became his new home. The staff were kind,
courteous and caring. The food was good with plenty of little treats. Sadly Dad's health suddenly deteriorated, but the level of care he received continued to be exceptionally high. The staff supported us as a whole family during and after his death. We will always be grateful.

Excellent dignified care from committed individuals. The manager is one in a million and a real credit to Barchester. From the minute we walked through the door we were shown compassion and respect. The 24-hour visiting give peace of mind and flexibility. My grandmother is shown excellent care and respect.
I can't rate highly enough.

Sadly mum was in The Rhallt for a shorter period than we anticipated after fighting a long battle with cancer. The manager and all the staff went way above and beyond what was expected, treated mum with so much love, care and dignity and dealt with intrusive relatives with great tact and diplomacy.
We are so grateful they made her last few days comfortable.

My mum has been here for over one month, she was in a care home previously but the care she is having here is fantastic. The staff are all very kind and caring, always telephone with any changes that are happening in mum's health plan, and also have rung me as I was upset leaving one night. Tremendous

My mother is 94 has dementia and is unable to walk or bear her own weight. I am my mother's unpaid carer. Without mum's 'Respite Rhallt Holidays', I would not be in the fortunate position of mum living at home with me after my husband died. Before his death, he had been the unpaid carer for my mother,
his father and his aunt while I was out at work!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.863)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.863) out of 10 for The Rhallt Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 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 4.984 for The Rhallt Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (187 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.984
  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 4.879 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Rhallt Care Home is based on 16 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 91 registered maximum number of service users is 18.2. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.2 = 0.879
  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.

Dai joined the Rhallt in August 2025, and one of his first jobs was to host Environmental Health inspectors on their inspection, which gained us yet another 5* review for our kitchen. Mealtimes are cherished at the Rhallt, and Dai enjoys speaking to residents to learn how we can improve their favourite meals and what new culinary adventures we will be undertaking.
