My husband entered the care home six months ago, I was devastated, I didn't know what to expect but I did not need to worry. My husband has settled in far quicker than I expected. Everyone has been amazing, they are wonderful to me and my husband. It feels like, when I visit, I am coming to my second
home. Thank you Penylan House Nursing Home, carers, management, activities, cleaners and everyone.

Mum has been at Penylan since June 2020. The staff are outstanding, nothing is too much trouble and they always take the time to listen to you and answer your questions. Standards of hygiene, food and entertainment is excellent. Excellent service from doctors at the local surgery. Would recommend this
home to anyone with complete confidence that their loved one would be safe and well cared for.

Since dads recent move into Penylan House Nursing Home, we have been reassured about his care. The staff have been so kind and caring to dad settling him in. As a family visiting, we have always been made to feel welcome. His dignity and the care given to dad we feel have been gold standard.

The staff, carers, and management make it a lot easier for us to make the decision to leave Mum in their care. Mother has settled to her new life and routines made easier by the care, help and compassion shown to her by everyone that comes into contact with Mum.

Since my father has been in the nursing home, it has been so reassuring to see how well looked after and respected he is. The staff are so friendly and caring towards him and all the family. Everybody that works there takes the time to say hello to my father and us, and they say what a pleasure he is
to be around. We love seeing all the engaging activities staff arrange with residents and involve family too. To know that your loved one is in a place that truly cares for and looks after them is all any of us can ask for. Thank you.

My father entered the home in August 2021 as he was finding life increasingly difficult in his own home. He has settled in far better than we could have hoped for, putting on half a stone in weight and looking much more relaxed. He is enjoying the care and attention he is receiving from the dedicated
and very friendly staff. He has been able to enjoy video calls with my sister in Greece thanks to the help of the communications staff and he is eating and sleeping better. The best endorsement for the home is to hear dad himself saying how great the people are looking after him! It is a huge relief to know he is being so well cared for and that he is relaxed and contented - can’t recommend this home more highly!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After visiting other homes, as soon as I walked into Penylan House Community Nursing Home I knew that it was the home I wanted my much-loved mum to live in. I was able to transform Mum's room into her own, personal lounge by having familiar ornaments and pictures around, which helped to settle Mum into
her new surroundings.
The staff are patient, caring and respectful. Nothing is too much trouble. They get to know each resident as an individual and accommodate their personal and dietary needs. There are also many varied, fun activities which residents are encouraged to enjoy but are also free to make their own decisions. The management are approachable and willing to discuss any concerns regarding the care and wellbeing of a resident. My mum is very happy and has lived here for over two years and I wouldn't want her to live anywhere else. The care and kindness shown by all is second to none. I am so pleased that my mum is part of the loving, caring family which is Penylan House. Thank you, everyone!

Penylan House changed my grandmother’s life for the better. The kindness and care that the staff have is second to none - I know that my Nan is in good hands every day and as a relative that is so important and reassuring. I love the varying amount of groups and activities that go on daily in the week.
My Nan has Alzheimer’s disease which can make her agitated, however, the groups are so uplifting and can really improve her mood and wellbeing. The environment is so lovely - the rooms are homely and spacious which makes such a difference. I couldn’t recommend this nursing home enough, they are amazing!

Both my mother for 9 months and my father for 18 months to date have been cared for at Penylan House. Very satisfied with the level of bespoke care provided both from dementia care and general nursing perspective. Despite the difficulties of Covid, there is plenty of tailored engagement and activities
for each resident, and of communication channels with families.

As a family, we were looking for a care home for Mum four years ago as it became clear her dementia was making it difficult for her to remain at home. Following an extensive search of most care homes in Cardiff and surrounding areas, the one that stood out for us as a family was Penylan House. It was
the best decision we could have made, four years later Mum is still in the care home and whilst her condition has deteriorated significantly she has received the most wonderful care from a dedicated and professional team. The staff have faced significant challenges during Covid but at no stage has Mum's care been compromised, she is happy, comfortable and leading the last stages of her life with dignity and respect. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the home to anyone looking for a place for their loved ones. We as a family have no regrets.

After visiting several nursing homes in Cardiff two years ago for my brother, I was recommended to visit Penylan House. I am pleased to say that to this day, I am so glad that I did. All staff, particularly the nursing and support staff, have gone that extra mile in ensuring that they have not only
got to know my brother, but also his family to deliver exceptional care for him. The activity team are innovative, full of energy and fun in organising activities for the residents’ stimulation and enjoyment. The rooms and lounges are light, airy and kept spotlessly clean. All staff, from those who make sure the residents’ clothes are beautifully laundered to those who provide delicious nutritious meals, work tirelessly to ensure my brother has the best care. All teams, together with a strong management team, make Penylan House a real home from home and I highly recommend it.

Penylan House has been amazing, even before the pandemic, the care they have given to my mum is exceptional, and throughout the pandemic has been exceptional too. Regular contact was made available to me through video calls, which made not seeing my mum in person bearable. The first day we were able
to visit with a car park visit last May was so emotional, and I know the staff at Penylan House worked so hard to make this possible. I will be forever grateful.

My mother resides in Penylan House Community Nursing Home and she is treated so well there, it really does put myself and my sisters at ease knowing how well mum gets cared for, we really couldn't ask for more. During lockdown obviously, all families were concerned for their loved ones and with my mother
having Alzheimer's we were worried about her remembering all of us as we weren't able to see her, however, we knew she was in good hands and now that we can see here again we can see how hard the staff worked to make sure mum was kept in good health. We are now able to visit and normality seems to be coming back. I would like to give my thanks to the hardworking staff as they have been first class in every way.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident for almost 6 years, during which time she has been very well looked after at all times and is clearly content with all aspects of Penylan House. All staff are devoted to duty in their care of all residents, they are always on hand and eager to assist in all situations.
During the very difficult Covid pandemic the staff have managed to keep up the spirits of all residents who were sadly kept separate from their loved ones during the lockdown times. Staff have always assisted my mother with telephone and video calls, this has indeed been a tremendous asset and morale booster for both residents and relatives. There are daily activity sessions and frequent "special occasions" put on by staff for the entertainment of all, including music and dance sessions, art classes, choir practise etc. I cannot praise the entire Penylan House team enough, it is a superb nursing home that deserves a five-star rating.

We are extremely happy that we chose this home for Mum. During the six years she stayed there, Mum received excellent care. She always appeared well looked after and we witnessed how hardworking the staff were to ensure her individual needs were met. The staff were always friendly and polite, treating
Mum with dignity and respect at all times. The Activities Team also worked tirelessly to provide a fabulous range of daily activities, catering for all residents, including making use of the lovely surrounding gardens. Sadly, Mum passed away recently but we appreciate the wonderful care she received and friendships made with staff during her time there. We highly recommend this home to anyone considering this type of care provision.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.852)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.852) out of 10 for Hallmark Penylan House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.852 for Hallmark Penylan House is calculated as follows: ( (205 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 237 Ratings = 4.852
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hallmark Penylan House is based on 19 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 75 registered maximum number of service users is 15, which has been reached with 19 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.

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2020

My previous profession in Zimbabwe was a camera operator. To be a healthcare professional was never in my mind, however, I have always had attributes of caring nature, giving time to listen, and offering respect to any human being. This led to one of my friends, years ago, to suggest that l should consider a support work role whilst in the UK. At that time, I was very reluctant and assumed that l would only be driving people around for social activities etc., This proved to be a game changer in my life, as l found working with people with mental health issues and learning difficulties in the community rewarding and fulfilling. At this point l noticed that it was not just a job but a ‘’calling’’. I then started my training from level 3 NVQ going through access to nursing then completing BSC 1st class degree in Mental Health Nursing.


I joined Penylan House in January 2020 with the intention of getting a short break from a high-intensity work environment. I have worked in different mental health hospitals, from older adults to mental health intensive care units. I decided to explore my experience in working with older adults which was the driving force for me to join Penylan House Nursing Home as a short-term measure. However, this proved me wrong as l fell in love with working with older adults. I am committed in providing high-quality care in a safe environment like Penylan Nursing Home. I am a passionate, motivated and resident-focused Nurse or Registered Manager possessing an in-depth knowledge of the principles, methods and procedures for diagnosis and treatment. In addition, a responsible self-starter with good interpersonal and communication skills be it in a leadership setting or working collaboratively in a multi-disciplinary team. As the Manager of Penylan House, l solemnly promise that l will foster respecting residents autonomy and dignity while treating residents as customers exercising choices.

I was very impressed with the home and applied for a job here, so I started in 2014 as a part-time night care assistant. As well as having NVQ levels 2 and 3 in social care, I studied fine arts in Mexico, where I was born, and I’ve always had a passion for art and painting, I apply my skills supporting residents with meaningful activities, which I’ve been doing since 2016. I received a silver award in the promoting fulfilled lives category, from Wales Care Awards 2022.

Job Title: Care Assistant, Nights Joined: 2013

I originally worked at Linc’s Nursing Home in Newport, Capel Grange, but transferred to Penylan House as the shift times were more suitable for my personal commitments. The home has a good reputation for providing excellent care and the standards are really high. The home is friendly and welcoming, and the team I work with is great.


We are like one big family! Staff and residents get along really well. We all support and help one another to the best of our ability. Knowing you have had a positive effect on them is a great feeling, and making sure the residents are happy and content makes the staff happy too.
