Review from Jillian J (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been a resident at Ty Penrhos for almost 2 years. My mum's care has been excellent and the staff are fantastic. They were able to get mum back walking when she entered the home after having been in hospital for several months. As a family, we only wish mum could have been in Ty Penrhos earlier
in her illness when she would have been able to experience the care home's activity programme. Well done Ty Penrhos.

Review from Emma I (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 November 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff and care at Ty Penrhos is absolutely excellent. The Carers become part of your family, my dad sadly passed away this month whilst at Ty Penrhos and I can honestly say without the staff supporting us as a family, we would never have got through this upsetting time. Dad was always clean and
tidy and loved the carers so much. My dad's illness was first described to us as a journey one which the staff at Ty Penrhos, were with us every step of the way. The Love and devotion they showed not only to dad but the other residents too, was excellent whilst always being able to remain professional at the same time. I am very proud to say that 6 of the carers from the unit dad was a resident on, were bearers at my dads funeral, so I can truly say they cared for my dad right to the very end of his journey. We will be eternally grateful to all at Ty Penrhos for the care and dedication they gave to us all especially dad. Thank You.

Review from Lynda H (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 June 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been at Ty Penrhos since March 2016. This is a fantastic facility for dementia/nursing and residential care. Within days of coming out of the hospital, the kind staff has settled mum into the home. The staff working in this home are 5 Star. They are compassionate, friendly, loving,
sympathetic and go the extra mile to help the residents feel like that are in their own home. The nursing staff and care staff keep in contact with relatives and keep us up to date with any issues involving mum.
The entertainment staff in the home put on lovely social events and activities for the residents too. Ty Penrhos provides such great care, that our family have had a weight of worry lifted off our shoulders, knowing that our mum is so well cared for and all her needs are met. I would encourage anyone who is looking for a care home bed in the Cardiff/Caerphilly area to visit Ty Penrhos and assess the comfortable conditions provided for residents themselves.
Reply from Chris Hurn, Quality and Comms Administrator at Ty Penrhos Care Home

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.533)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.533) out of 10 for Ty Penrhos Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 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 4.690 for Ty Penrhos Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (141 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 187 Ratings = 4.69
  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 4.843 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ty Penrhos Care Home is based on 14 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 83 registered maximum number of service users is 16.6. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.6 = 0.843
  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.
