Review from A Y (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 June 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The atmosphere at Ty Llandaff is so positive and friendly and every member of staff has made such a huge effort to make Mum feel welcome. From the beginning, they have also been very supportive to us as a family and have worked with us to make sure that they understand Mum's needs, so that she can have
the very best care. Nothing has been too much trouble.
The rooms are beautifully decorated and relaxing and the en-suite bathrooms are luxurious. The communal rooms are elegant and welcoming, they all have large windows.
Residents can choose from many activities and there are opportunities for socialising, however, they can also enjoy quiet time in their room. The ethos of the staff is that this is the resident's home and they are visitors who come in to help and support. We feel very lucky that Mum can enjoy such a lovely home and that we can come and visit and be made so welcome.

When my auntie received the sad news she was terminally ill, myself and my brother were given the details of Ty Llandaff.
After a lovely meeting and a walk around the home, she went there for her palliative care end of life.
What can I say? The home helped us support her through this time and she
built relationships with staff and residents that helped her get through.
Thank you again for your support before, during and at the end of her life, couldn’t have done it without you all.
Reply from Kelly Walker, Regional Director at Ty Llandaff Care Home

Firstly, please allow me to send condolences to you and your family during this difficult time. We really appreciate the review you have kindly submitted. Staff always welcome feedback and hearing your auntie was supported during her final weeks will no doubt be appreciated. We will always be comforted by the thought that as a family you also felt supported as this was no doubt very difficult for you all. We feel privileged to have cared for your auntie and I am sure will be sadly missed by all. Thank you once again for taking the time to submit this review.

Ever since we came to Ty Llandaff it was a wonderful experience. The staff were really nice. The rooms were very clean like a hotel and when Auntie came there, although dubious at first, really came to love the place and the staff and cared for her in the best possible way until she sadly passed away.
I would just like to say that the staff here are extremely professional, discreet and friendly at all times and I would always recommend Ty Llandaff. Finally, I’d like to thank them all very much for their exceptional care services.

It's heartwarming to see the impact of a loving environment when it is such a sensitive time for our lovely residents and their families. We are, as always, humbled by the beautiful feedback given to the team. Kindest regards, the manager and team Ty Llandaff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot praise highly enough the level of care my terminally ill mum received from the staff at Ty Llandaff Care Home during the period from late January to mid-April 2024. Ty Llandaff is well appointed with all the amenities one might expect with, importantly in my view, essential medical support
on hand at all times. Without exception, the friendly and welcoming manner of the staff, aligned with a positive attitude and caring approach made me feel Mum was being looked after as a much-loved member of a large but close family. I will always be grateful that my mum was able to spend her final days in such an environment.

Review from Mike D (Son of Resident) published on 24 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum moved to Ty Llandaff for palliative care during the last few months of her life. Ty Llandaff made the move from the hospice so easy, and Mum was treated with dignity and respect from the very first. Nothing was too much trouble for her and also for my brothers and me - we were treated like part
of the Ty Llandaff family by all the staff who were, without exception, exceptional.
The facilities were marvellous, and Mum couldn't have been better treated or made more comfortable at all times. In fact, the home became a 'home from home' for our visits, and in that way, it will be missed after having been a large part of our lives too.
Even when Mum finally passed away, the staff couldn't have been more caring to her and us, and their support at the time was invaluable. Thank you so much to everyone.

I thought I would write a follow-up review as my Mother has been in Ty Llandaff since the beginning of January. The menu is excellent with a wide range of choices and is not repetitive. The entertainment is very frequent and varied. The staff takes the time to draw on the strengths of each resident
and there is always plenty of laughter. I am treated as a member of their family and the staff certainly makes time for us also. They look after me if my Mother is having a bad day. This is my happy place and I am certain my Mother would not receive better care elsewhere.
Reply from Kath O'Dwyer, Manager at Ty Llandaff Care Home

I am so glad we have the pleasure of Mum in our care and also get to spend time with you, the team does take great pride in delivering a home full of love for those in our care and it is a humble pleasure to have such a warm review. Kindest regards, the team at Ty Llandaff.

I cannot thank Ty Llandaff Care Home enough for all they have done for my husband during his three-month stay. They provided exceptional care for him. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism by all members of staff. The facility itself was clean, well-maintained and
an effort had obviously been made to make it feel like a comfortable home. The staff at Ty Llandaff went above and beyond to ensure his needs were met with compassion and expertise. They provided personalised care tailored to his specific requirements. Throughout his stay, the staff communicated effectively with both him and me, keeping us informed about his progress and the changes needed in his care plan. Please accept my gratitude to all these staff for their outstanding care and support, not only for my husband but for me too. This is an exceptional care home.

Living abroad makes it an emotional journey when looking after my mum. I visited Ty Llandaff Care Home where they accommodated my visit at the drop of a hat at a point of crisis. The receptionist showed me around the home and introduced me to a very friendly staff team before settling me in with a "cwtch"
with some homemade refreshments. The home manager and office manager came and met me and put me at ease whilst my Mum enjoyed a complimentary haircut and blow-dry. To say that my Mum moved in 3 days later with support, and love on her journey has been for us has been an absolute relief.

My in-laws came into Ty Llandaffin January 2024 after being apart for six weeks due to hospitalisation. At 96 and 97 they hadn't previously been separated so the team at the care home ensured they had adjacent rooms until my father-in-law passed on the 10th of February 2024 leaving behind his wife of
63 years. They could not have done more to support her or care for her, particularly on the day of his death and then funeral. Truly caring, loving, and supportive. Thank you.

I'd like to thank everyone who is caring for my 96-year-old mother, especially since the passing of her 97-year-old husband. A special thank you goes to a wonderful care worker who came in early on the day of the funeral to help dress my mum in her funeral clothes. She didn't have to do that, but her
example of care was above and beyond and it put my mum at ease. Huge thanks for such professionalism and care.

My brother has been a resident of Ty Llandaff since June 2023, and he settled in immediately.

Our relative has been here for just over 2 months and we can’t tell you how pleased we are with everything! The whole building is absolutely immaculate, the food is beautiful and presented perfectly but most importantly, the staff are always going above and beyond. It really comforts us as a family
to know that our relative is surrounded by staff who actually care about the residents and treat them with the dignity and respect that they all deserve.


It’s also a bonus that we’re able to take our dogs in, who are even treated like royalty as soon as they step in the building being offered treats at reception! Unfortunately, our relative was in a different home prior to here, which was horrific, so I can’t explain how relieved we all feel knowing that Ty Llandaff is worlds apart and that our relative is finally able to be treated with dignity and live in the luxury that he very much deserves. We can’t thank the staff enough for what they’ve done in such a short space of time.

I visited the home on 2 occasions, on one occasion, I was invited to a resident birthday 'party'. I had a lovely time, was welcomed warmly by the staff and thoroughly enjoyed myself also briefly meeting other residents. The following day I visited on 'spur of the moment'.

From the moment we walked into Ty Llandaff we felt the extraordinary warmth, care and professional expertise of the incredible staff. Ty Llandaff is in a gorgeous area of Cardiff with coffee shops, bistros and parks within walking distance which my mum and I enjoy visiting. The home is elegant, scrupulously
clean and very well appointed, there are high-quality activities happening regularly but above all, it is genuinely homely. Living overseas I am reliant on the staff to help with things like video calls, shopping and even birthday celebrations and, as many of the other reviewers have also stated, absolutely nothing is too much trouble. The managers are very much a part of day-to-day living for both the residents and the visitors. In summary, all the staff are genuinely amazing and have made the emotional process of moving into a home, smoother than I thought possible. Thank you Ty Llandaff.

    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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 60 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.
