Review from J J (Friend of Resident) published on 4 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Wow where do I start, the manager is so kind-hearted, easy to talk to, she was simply amazing then you got my friend so lively, always smiling and made me feel welcome, I met a few of the team too, there was a girl in a pink uniform quite shy but she still had a chat with me, there was a lady in a green
uniform full of energy she came over and really politely asked if we would like a drink and a cake, we chatted for a bit and the whole time we were just laughing I think she had brown hair not sure my eyesight isn’t the best, then we met a lovely handsome man in pink uniform I wanted to take him home. This care home thinks about everyone and the staff there are very accommodating, nothing is too much trouble for them. When we were walking around there was it’s if singing and laughter, keep up the grand job.

Delighted to have found Llys Herbert. This is a stunning new care home with superb facilities and amazing attention to detail in all aspects of the home and for its residents.
The team has been amazing from the very first enquiry to the incredibly warm welcome extended to my father on arrival and
all of the individual attention to help him settle in.
The team truly embrace the Care UK values: caring, passionate, teamwork.

Review from S W (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father is one of the first few to take up residency at this newly built home, the first Care UK home (so I understand) to be owned and managed by the company in Wales.
From the moment we went to view the home, without any prior notice on our part, we have been welcomed and helped enormously by
the whole team.
All rooms are identical in size. My father has been fortunate to choose both position and decor of which there is a good choice.
To date, the food has been varied, beautifully cooked and presented and catering to my father’s needs as his appetite has diminished.
The staff have been wonderfully supportive, friendly, enthusiastic and willing. I cannot thank them all enough for all the kindness and consideration they have shown to him. If the standards continue at the present level, which I have no reason to doubt they will, it is going to be a wonderful home.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.932)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.932) out of 10 for Llys Herbert 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 20 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 4.932 for Llys Herbert is calculated as follows: ( (223 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 237 Ratings = 4.932
  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 Llys Herbert is based on 20 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 20 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

As a Home Manager, my role is to support the team to deliver a high standard of care for residents.


I’m a registered nurse and have experience in management roles. I joined Care UK because its values of caring, passion and teamwork mirrored my own.


In this role, it’s important to have compassion, empathy, enthusiasm and a sense of humour. You also need to be motivated and be a good all-around team player.


I love that every day is different, bringing new challenges and rewards. My favourite part of the day is walking around the home before I leave and seeing the relationships between colleagues and residents.


Seeing colleagues I’ve supported over the years developing and progressing in their careers gives me greater pleasure.


Outside of work, I’m lucky to have a caravan in Anglesey and enjoy spending time there. I like walking in all weathers with my family and dog, and since I began travelling through work.
