The staff know the residents and families and are supportive of everyone, welcoming all into the Ysguborwen family. Residents and visitors alike are all treated with respect and care. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff who are always available to help . A wide range of activities are provided
along with tasty meals. Although my mother has only been there for a short time she settled quickly and her health has improved, all thanks to the amazing staff.

The atmosphere in Ysguborwen is wonderful. The staff are excellent. My sister is in Lilac Section. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. They go out of their way to help. It's a pleasure to attend some of the activities. I have experience of another care home. I believe Ysguborwen is the best.

We are always kept fully informed of our loved one, which was much appreciated when our household was ill and unable to visit. I never have to worry. Social Media also keeps us in touch with all the wonderful activities.

As always you are all amazing. Nothing is too much trouble and everyone is treated with kindness and respect and treated as an individual. Every member of staff is always polite, welcoming and supportive whether it's a quick question or something important. Thank you all you're amazing

Since my great aunt has been at the facility I feel she has thrived. The staff are welcoming and happy to provide support.
My aunt has been kept active with the activities that are provided and her wellbeing is regularly updated to myself via staff, phonecalls and their regular updates on the
family group social media.
Thank you for your support.

My Uncle has been a resident since June 2025 and was offered a place following a period of huge upheaval and distress. Without exception, the staff have been supporting, professional and kind. The residents are treated with dignity and respect. There are many opportunities to take part in a wide
variety of activities. I am relieved to know that my Uncle is so well cared for and supported.

My uncle is living with dementia. Due to circumstances that happened, he was placed at Ysguborwn Care Home. It was a very difficult time for him. The staff have been patient and understanding of his needs. Through their kindness, he now feels settled and at home. Thank you.

My wife has been in Ysguborwen for just over 2 and a half years. My wife likes her new home, which makes me feel happy and content.
All staff are very good and pleasant and always happy to the residence also the entertainment is good.

Following my mam becoming bed bound in January 2025 it was upsetting for myself and the rest of the family to see my mam losing her dignity and losing any joy in life. She was taken to Ysguborwen on 3rd September and that very day she was bathed and had her hair washed - the first time since
December 2024
To see her sitting in an armchair. Something I never thought she'd get to do again. Feeding herself and rediscovering her love of art and making friends.
I cannot thank or praise the staff enough for giving my wonderful mam her dignity back.
Everyone who visits her cannot believe the difference in her in just a short time.
Thank you all so much.

This is a great home. They do so much with the residents and guest. Nothing seems to be to much for the staff always kind and helpful. This home seems like an extension of our family. My father in law has made so lovely friends and settled in really well

This care home is like home from home, wonderful caring, loving staff that are committed to making the residents feel loved and cared for in such a loving way and always with dignity. The staff make the home feel like one big family and nothing is too much trouble.
My father was in the Rose unit
for nearly 2 years and I can not speak highly enough for all the staff right up until the end where they went over and above looking after dad making sure he was comfortable. They also made sure we were looked after. Wonder staff. Thank you

Amazing staff, all very caring. Always lots of activities going on. Although it broke our hearts having to make the hardest decision ever to have mam live in a nursing home, we are so pleased and were very lucky that mam had a place in ysguborwen. We, as a family, are always made to feel welcome.
One of the best around.. well done all!

My mother has been a resident for over 6 years, the staff are friendly and caring always there to answer any queries. They have been amazing with my mother, they have really made her feel like she's at home. The rooms are always clean and tidy the atmosphere is relaxed. The activities are amazing
they can join in if they want to. Sometimes they have artists to sing old music where they can get up and dance. Christmas parties, Chinese new year there's always something going on.
The grounds are relaxing where we take our mother by the lake see the fish listen to the birds and feed the chickens.
The cabin has tea facilities and can be opened or hired for residents birthdays.
I would like to thank the staff for all your hard work and the treatment and care you have given my mother and continue to do so, you make us feel reassured and are part of hers and our family x

Ysgurborwen is a lovely home, the staff all work do hard and nothing is too much trouble. All the staff treat the residents and their families with the utmost respect,the home is immaculate, bright and airy and there is always lots of activities for the residents to do. The garden area is
beautiful, and the staff are all angels. The care they provide for my mother is superb, and every time I visit I can see that my mother interacts and enjoys the staff company. The staff are always approachable and they keep the family informed of any changes at all times . An absolutely remarkable home. Well done and thank you for the love, support and care you provide to my mother xx

The home is it set in beautiful grounds with wonderful views, but what makes this place so special is the staff. They all know the residents and treat them with respect and kindness- the care is excellent.

My mother had been in hospital for just under 12 months due to a bad experience(s) at an earlier care home. Within 24 hours she was sitting in a chair, for the first time in many months, like a meerkat people watching and all that was going on around her. When I visited on her fourth day there she
was painting. Not to Picasso standard, but with a look of intense concentration that I haven't seen since before her first stroke. Her gummy smiles are a joy to see, the home have arranged for the community dentist to fit replacement dentures, the original pair having gone MIA in hospital. My mother improved 110% within a matter of days of her going to Ysguborwen.
12 November 2024
I have nothing but admiration for the staff who look after my wife and also the way they have made me welcome at the home. It is sad to leave your wife at the end of visiting but I have peace of mind that she is well looked after. Thank you for all your care.
05 September 2024
I am very pleased with the care my mother receives, the nursing staff are very friendly and you can approach them with anything you require. They are very helpful. I can't fault anything about the nursing home.
30 August 2024
My mother has been a resident for over three years in lilac unit and has settled far better than expected, she is well cared for by the experienced staff whose job can be challenging at times I'm sure. The activities team are very good, interacting with the residents and encouraging everyone to join
in with quizzes, bingo drawing and more. You are always welcomed when visiting, weather permitted the garden area is a lovely setting, we go up with the grandchildren and take a picnic, which my mother enjoys.
