My husband stayed at Anwen for respite care recently. From the moment we arrived up to the moment he left, he was treated with kindness, consideration and dignity. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who were helpful, cheerful and smiling. This made his stay as pleasant as possible. Thank you
to Anwen, and keep up the good work!

The manager of Anwen has been so kind and helpful to the family, she has taken time to ensure we as a family feel supported throughout the process of moving my wife into the care home. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming. The care that they give to my wife is excellent. The well being team are
amazing. I cannot fault Anwen Care Home, it is a brilliant care home and I would recommend it to anyone making the difficult decision to put a family member into care.

A pleasing home and always very clean. It doesn't smell of old people. Nice and modern. The staff are very kind and jolly. Also professional and caring. Very supportive as are the office staff and managers. Always welcoming. Probably good but never around at meal times as these are rightly restricted.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband came to Anwen Care Home in January 2024. From day one his pressure ulcer was a priority and the general nursing care has been extremely good. Carers have time for all residents treating each one as an individual with dignity and compassion. They acknowledge relatives with friendly smiles
and help in any way they can. The well-being team are exceptional, encouraging all to participate in activities. Fantastic they have encouraged my husband to achieve in his stages of dementia. I am grateful for their support and comfort to me. Any issues we have, have been dealt with promptly, sympathetically and satisfactorily. The manager is extremely friendly and always ready to discuss anything relating to my husband's care. I would like to express my appreciation to all employees of Anwen Care Home including those not always seen for providing excellent care.

We and the resident have found Anwen Care Home a very friendly and welcoming place. The staff and management are only too pleased to listen and accommodate the residents' needs, medically and comfortably in their residence here. People are nice to the person in question, she answers when we ask. We

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.873)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.873) out of 10 for Anwen Care Home 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 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.873 for Anwen Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (357 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 402 Ratings = 4.873
  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 Anwen Care Home is based on 34 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 34 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.
