Vyrnwy Nursing Home

Overall I am very happy with the home and satisfied that my relative will be looked after well.

The activities organised for the residents is fantastic, especially during those trying times. They are kept busy doing relative activities - Pancake Day spring, St Davids Day, Valentines. All the baking and games they do stimulates the residents to take part and be content, while not missing relatives so much. Always enables the resident to be able to converse well with the family as to what has been going on - well done, and thank you.

My wife has been in the Vyrnwy for three months and seems very content. From what I have seen the staff are first class, but at weekends they appear to be short on numbers. I would like to say the activities are very good and varied.

In the five and a half weeks my father spent at the Vynrwy Nursing Home I have nothing but praise for the care and attention he received. All the staff showed kindness and true professionalism in his care. The staff were always warm and welcoming and kept us fully informed on his condition. My father was very happy at the time he spent there.

Staff helped person settle quickly. Level of care is very good with attention to detail. The care given is of a high quality and there is a good atmosphere in the home. However, there are times when it seems that staff are under considerable pressure. Though well supported and working to high standards, sometimes it seems that another pair of hands is needed.

Rooms are a bit dull, food not that great, staffing levels are quite poor sometimes, but the staff themselves are great. Entrance and the overall state of the building is quite shabby. I have asked for Mum to change rooms, but this has not been achieved. For the cost of keeping Mum there, I do not think it's good value.

Seven years ago my wife suffered a severe stroke that we did not think she would survive. The last eighteen months have seen her condition and mental state deteriorate, she had given up hope of ever recovering. Two months ago she was admitted to Vyrnwy Nursing Home. I did not think that she would ever return home. Now she is laughing, eating, walking (with a stick) and looking forward to life. An amazing place with even more amazing staff!

I have been very pleased with the care my mother receives. The staff at Vyrnwy do their jobs with great care, efficiency and no small degree of affection.

Always welcomed at the home and provided support and care both for Nanna and her family in her final days and hours.

The home meets the needs of my uncle very well, he is happy, content and safe in his environment. I would highly recommend this lovely home.
