My mother in law was admitted direct from hospital She had a terminal illness,was anxious and failing The only room available was on the nursing side which she did not need, so the staff made every effort for her to spend the day on the residential side There was some activity every morning and...
It was obvious she was settling well and relaxing She unexpectedly passed away in her sleep one week after arriving
Her death was handled in a very professional and compassionate way by the nurse on duty that night
We appreciate you taking the time to write this during what must be a very difficult period. It's wonderful to know that you feel your loved one has been well cared for- that's exactly what we strive for. We are saddened to hear of Mother-in-law's passing and send out heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.

My wife recently spent two weeks at Heol Don for respite care. During the stay, she received excellent care from nursing and caring staff, who were so attentive. The room was spacious, with a lovely view. Food was very good and the catering staff went out of their way to meet any dietary...
A variety of activities were well organised throughout the week and my wife enjoyed the Sunday service, residents choir, concert with a professional harpist and art activity. All were organised by a very enthusiastic member of staff.
My initial enquiry was treated very professionally by a friendly and welcoming receptionist who gave a good impression of the overall management at the home.
Thank you so much to all members of staff who made the stay a pleasurable experience.

My aunt went into Heol Don in December 2025, initially for respite but remained there until she passed away yesterday.
I could not be happier with the care provided, particularly towards the end of my aunt's life. The carers on her unit treated her with care and respect. They also supported us at every opportunity.
We had the opportunity to have lunch, with my aunt, a few time. Again we were treated really well.
We dealt with the administration staff, Sally and Beverly, who always supported us and gave us there time.
I was very happy that we chose Heol Don to care for my aunt.

We have been extremely impressed with Heol Don care home and its staff.

We have been extremely impressed with Heol Don care home and its staff. It was such a relief to find somewhere for Dad that felt like the perfect place for him - safe, friendly, fun, and giving enough freedom to roam in the lovely, self-contained gardens. Dad has early onset dementia and Heol Don is ideal for him. The staff are always friendly and upbeat, creating a positive and vibrant atmosphere. We would thoroughly recommend this care home.
Thank you for your feedback. It is lovely to hear you describe our home and safe, friendly and fun. Thank you again for your recommendation.

The place felt comfortable and clean. Lots of staff around, so it seems busy in a good way.
Only comment, when we arrived (first visit), we didn't know the code or where to go. But did get the attention of staff who put us in the lift.
Thank you for your feedback. It is great to hear that you found our staff to be friendly and welcoming and that the home was clean and comfortable. We look forward to seeing you for another visit again soon.
We visited on Mother's Day, very nice welcoming atmosphere and had a lovely lunch organised by Steve and his team and had a nice long visit. Thanks.

By and large, we are very happy with the care my mother is receiving at Heol Don. Most of the staff are wonderful and professional. Some are exceptional, and I wish I could name them! There have been just a couple of instances where I felt mum was slightly infantilised - once where she wasn't believed when she said she wasn't ready to get into her pyjamas because my sister was due to visit, and once when she was told her daughter had phoned to ask for her to be washed, which was not the case.
Thank you for your feedback. It is always lovely to hear our staff described as wonderful and professional. We will certainly pass your comments on to the management team about the instances you have mentioned where your Mum felt she was not fully heard. Thank you again for your review.
I'm a friend, but I have found everybody very helpful & kind. Looks very much like a hotel, so I would enjoy living here myself.

This is a disease that doesn't normally lead the patient to be particularly positive about anything. Gareth's assessment today " I hit the Jackpot"! - he was really looking forward to enjoying his Christmas Dinner and Christmas with such a caring team!
I saw all the wonderful efforts that the brilliant staff prepared for Christmas when I visited on Monday. My family's sincere thanks to you all!!! What a superb and caring Team!
Thank you for your lovely review. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is well cared for and it's great to hear your Brother feels like he "hit the jackpot" at Heol Don! Thank you again for your kind words.
Gemma was excellent and provided the most friendly and warm welcome, and was so kind to the residents. She went above and beyond and treated us with the upmost respect, and helped us to navigate the facility with ease.

The care staff and management of the home have been excellent. Our Mum has been treated with dignity and respect and has settled into the home really well. Her room is always spotlessly clean, and she looks clean, happy and well cared for. The meals are always lovely, and she is encouraged to be involved in all the activities. Having a hair salon on site is a real bonus, and knowing that the doctor is visiting on a regular basis gives peace of mind. Being able to be included in activities is great, and knowing we can book a lunch/meal with her is really nice.
Your review means a great deal to our team and we're so grateful you shared your experience. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease with your mother in our care. Providing kind and attentive care is in the heart of everything we do, so it's lovely to hear your feedback. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything more we can do.
My 93 year old cousin has been made very welcome here whilst she recovers from a hip operation. The home was very responsive when we were first in touch, very flexible re admission dates, and spoke with us about how long my cousin will stay. Everyone has been very kind, and my cousin is doing well.

My mum, Margaret, has been staying at Heol Don for convalescent care since 23rd Sept after a 3 week hospital stay for a fractured femur. She wasn't keen on the idea of a care home, but has enjoyed her stay and the staff and other residents have her very welcome. A care package for her return home should be in place soon. This has been so much better for her than having to stay in hospital! ( Only criticism 'No broadband on TV')
It's always encouraging to read reviews like this. We are pleased to hear that your Mum has enjoyed her stay so far and it's lovely to know that you feel reassured that your Mum is safe and well looked after. We will discuss your feedback with the home's manager to help them continually improve their service.
