I have not graded food and drinks nor activities because I have no experience of these. I have watched the staff diligently complete patients' records and watch over residents with compassion. I have seen examples of a caring approach to establishing boundaries that residents need, together with a happy
atmosphere. Feedback and information for me has been excellent and regular. All in all, a well-managed caring home. I liked the appropriate use of humour, to which residents responded.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My friend was in the lounge when I visited
All the carers spoke to her and served her with some (very nice smelling) lunch with respect and, I feel, some affection
My friend always is clean well cared for and as happy as one could expect-perhaps happier!
She admits she'd be lonely if she were living
on her own.
I don't think she interacts well with other residents-that I guess is because all or most people have some form of cognitive deterioration-they are ( I imagine) not the people they used to be. But she is ok.
If this person were my mum, I feel I'd be happy with the care offered.

Extremely satisfied with the dementia care facility. The staff are all very engaging, caring and experienced. Nothing negative to say, I would definitely recommend this home. My uncle has been supported in trips out to a local coffee shop and has been encouraged to participate in physically stimulating
activities. This is above and beyond any care home I have experienced previously.

My husband settled in very quickly. Staff are just so, so friendly and very helpful. My husband always has a smile on his face. The one thing I also like is you don't have to book a visit, can just turn up.

Mum is very happy at Tryfan House. She has been in other Care Homes and this is by far the best for her needs. She is much more settled and happy. Her personal care is fantastic and she always has a smile on her face.

The staff at Tryfan House take great care of my dad. They encourage him to take part in activities. They are very friendly and inclusive. They look after all his personal care needs and treat him with dignity and respect. Whilst the rooms may be basic, the care is outstanding.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

On observation, it is my opinion that meals are not adequate for the age of the residents. A lot of the meals include waffles, wedges, pasta and fish fingers. (This menu is more suitable for children). More traditional English food should be served more often sausage with mashed potatoes, veggies and
gravy, meat and veggie pies and peas (steak), fish and chips (not frozen cheap chips), Rice pudding, Crumble with custard, ice cream etc. My father cannot live off sandwiches alone. Overall the staff are very attentive, friendly and always willing to help. I hope my suggestions are taken in a positive manner and seen as an opportunity for improvement.

My mum has really settled well. She is getting involved with lots of activities. The staff are very attentive and caring. This was the last home to be considered for Mum, but I can safely say it has been a great decision for my family. Mum is happy, safe and cared for.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.560)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.560) out of 10 for Tryfan House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.660 for Tryfan House is calculated as follows: ( (77 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 103 Ratings = 4.66

  • b) 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Tryfan House is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 = 3.9

    • ii) 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 9 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
