After a period of respite Mum made the decision herself to stay on permanently at Llys Cyncoed and luckily a lovely room was available. She was finding life at home, by herself, very lonely and managing daily tasks was definitely becoming very challenging for her. This decision was not an easy one to make. It's 6 months on now and we are so very pleased at how Mum has settled in. All of the members of the care team are always welcoming, warm and friendly. They are kind, incredibly caring and very supportive of Mum and the rest of the family. We now enjoy quality time with Mum knowing that she is safe and secure with a professional team of people who have her very best interests at heart. Thank you all!!

My good friend has recently passed on due to stage 4 Pancreatic cancer and was in hospital for at least a month back in April 2025. During this ordeal we started to look for alternative care options for him and narrowed our choice down to two care homes in Cardiff. We took my friend round both and he immediately settled on Llys Cyncoed Care home in Cardiff, where he remained for the next 4-months until his death on 28 October 2025. Adrian's stay at Llys Cyncoed was fairly brief, but the care he received was exceptional and as far as he could, given his circumstances, he enjoyed his time at the home. The staff were magnificent throughout .... especially toward the end, when it was particularly 'harrowing' for us to visit as friends and family, but equally challenging for the staff looking after him. I cannot thank them enough for the care and attention they all showed my friend and the dignity he was able to maintain right to the end.

I cannot recommend Llys Cyncoed highly enough. From initial enquiries to the outstanding level of care received during a particularly difficult time. The care team became friends and the level of assistance and compassion shown was second to none. Everyone there is treated as an individual with their particular needs, likes and dislikes catered for as closely as possible. From personal experience I can say that the staff went over and above what could have been expected, not only for the resident, but for friends/family also. The home is beautifully appointed, with many large social rooms and an exquisite dining room and gardens. There are numerous activities and trips organised for anone who wishes to take part. But above all, what shines through is the dedication, compassion and friendliness of all of the people, in whatever capacity, that work there. Thanks to all of you - for taking such wonderful care of my relative - and for the great kindness and care that you also showed to me.

There is no doubt that Llys Cyncoed is an absolute exceptional care home. We visited many before choosing and we are so glad we made it our choice. From the start of this difficult journey the staff have gone above and beyond in supporting us with mum and their attention to detail is excellent. Extremely homely, excellent food, daily entertainment and activities, outstanding staff, very welcoming and mum is made to feel so comfortable and safe. Would definitely recommend Llys Cyncoed and would like to thank all staff for making us feel at home.

A massive thank you to all at Llys Cyncoed for the exceptional level of care and support given to my parents over the last five years. I cannot praise the team highly enough for the loving and welcoming environment they create for residents and their visitors. Accommodation, facilities and housekeeping are all to a very high standard and the quality of food is excellent. There are numerous social activities and trips for those who wish to participate but there is no pressure to join in for those who prefer to live more independently. The team frequently go the extra mile to fulfil the preferences of individual residents and adapt to their changing needs. My parents came to regard many of the staff as friends and I was always grateful for the support provided to me as a family member and the welcome I was offered whenever I called in or visited. I have nothing but praise for the staff and would not hesitate to recommend Llys Cyncoed to prospective residents and their families.

My wife has been a resident in the secure accommodation for nearly 5 years. I have nothing but praise and admiration for the work that the staff do. In 5 years there has only been one hiccup which was swiftly dealt with. The ambience, food and facilities are excellent. IT's expensive but the extra cost over the other other facilities available in the area is , if it can be afforded , well worth while.

What a truly fantastic care home. We are thrilled that our family member has settled so well and that is truly down to the dedication of all staff members. Everyone contributes to make the residents and families feel that Llys Cyncoed is genuinely a home from home. Of course the building is superb but it's the people who make this place so special. I would have no hesitation in recommending Llys Cyncoed to anyone. You really do go the extra mile, a huge thank you to you all. If family members are considering a care home, Llys Cyncoed is a definite, you will not be disappointed.

We couldn't have found a nicer care home for Mum. It's like moving in with a big friendly family! Mum's been here for a year now and there's always plenty to do every day from puzzles, number games, bingo, flower arranging, cinema and even in-house singers and musicians every week. Mum especially enjoys trips out on the minibus and still gets in some retail therapy at the shops every so often! Mum's made lots of friends, enjoys nutritious homemade food and makes use of the lovely garden. The staff at all levels at Llys Cyncoed are very professional, friendly and approachable, nothing is too much trouble, their priority is the resident's happiness. The social areas are perfect, open plan but split into a Bistro area for coffee and cakes, the parlour for TV and relaxing and the restaurant where tables are beautifully dressed and an upstairs room also used for activities and to watch films. There's a family room for special occasions but Llys Cyncoed love an excuse to have a party for everyone.

My mother has been in residence for almost a year now. Both the facilities and level of care have been excellent. There are plenty of options with regards to activities, both on and off-site and the ratio of resident to staff means there is someone on hand at short notice to help. The food is generally excellent and the menu is varied, there are also plenty of other options available outside of meal time.

Since Mum arrived at Llys Cyncoed in mid-July, she has become so relaxed and secure. The staff have engaged with her in a way that lets her feel a part of the home and not just a resident. She is thriving as our family had hoped for. The surroundings, the food, and the atmosphere are truly enabling.
16 September 2024
From my first visit, I have been impressed by the professionalism of all staff, the quality of the care provided to my mother and the evident warmth and concern shown to residents and family members. The facilities, environment, food and services offered are exceptional. My mother is a much happier person after only a few weeks in Llys Cyncoed.

My Dad has been a resident at Llys Cyncoed Care home for two years. The staff are totally dedicated and caring. My Dad has Parkinson's and so he requires quite a lot of personal care which I have found to be carried out in a very professional and caring manner. The resident comes first. I have been contacted by the staff immediately when Dad was taken ill and an ambulance was called. Lovely staff stayed with Dad the entire time. I have regular contact about any updates on Dad which is helpful. The staff organise lots of social activities and trips out so there is something for everyone. Dad particularly enjoys the quizzes and giant crossword. There is live sport televised so you never miss out on a game, a Wimbledon final or the Olympics. There is a lovely garden too which Dad has been able to enjoy at times. I can't fault this care home for Dad. I know he is in caring and expert hands so I can rest easy. Thank you to all the great staff at Llys Cyncoed.

We could not have hoped for a better setting for my aunt's residential care. The facilities, food and care provided by all the staff are absolutely first-class, and we are so pleased and grateful that she is in safe hands and being looked after so well. It is a great comfort to see how much you all genuinely care and connect with residents to make them feel at home. Thank you to all at Llys Cyncoed.

My sister has spent most of her days at Llys Cyncoed and as I live in Canada the feedback and details were very comforting for me. Though far away I had video calls set up with no hesitation from staff which was great. I have had the opportunity over the last 12 months to spend quite a lot in there up until my mom's passing (the staff were amazing). Seeing for myself Llys Cyncoed is immaculate from the inside out the decor is outstanding and an atmosphere of warmth. In saying all this it goes much deeper it's the core of which is the staff. They are the most genuine loving and caring that I have met from concierge to management and staff in all departments which for me was the most important factor for which I am deeply thankful. My mom was on the terrace (dementia floor) she was very respected and loved as all other residents. It's a very difficult and emotional time to place a loved one in a home I would highly recommend this care home without any hesitation!

Llys Cyncoed has lived up to my hopes and expectations; primarily, that my mother, who has Alzheimer’s, is cared for with dignity, professional expertise and kindness. In addition, I enjoy being there. The minute you walk through the door you feel welcome and part of a community, thanks to all the staff who contribute to the care home.

Mum has just moved in and we've shared lunch with her. Our waiter has given us five-star service. All in all, so far, everything has been amazing and all the staff, without exception, have been amazing.

My parents initially attended respite care due to their recent ill health. They are being so well looked after and supported and cared for that they have now decided to remain as permanent residents, and are thriving from the care provided. The move from a temporary to permanent resident was conducted by the Home very easily and the family kept informed of the process. It is wonderful that this home allows married couples to stay together as my parents have been together for over 60 years and would not want to be separated. They are in their own room and can also mix with other residents socially. They recently celebrated their wedding anniversary and the home made a lovely celebration for them. The home is providing excellent care for both of them and the family is now less stressed and are more at ease. So it is not only the residents that benefit but also their families as well.

Kind, caring, considerate and empathetic staff make this home so special. My mother has settled very quickly and is happy and healthy residing here. Excellent facilities, great food, fun activities and a family atmosphere all combine to create a ‘home from home environment’. Well done!

I have found all staff very professional they have gone out of their way to include my mother in the Lys Cyncoed family. They are all very accommodating and nothing is too much trouble for them they make the time to listen to any concerns you have and act upon them. This makes me reassured that my mother is receiving the best care she could possibly have.

I can’t speak highly enough about Llys Cyncoed. From our first phone call with them, at what was a very stressful time, through the transition into the home and our experience since Dad moved in have been outstanding. We thought we had found a ‘home from home’ for my dad and we haven’t been disappointed. The staff are caring, professional, very knowledgeable about dementia and have gone out of their way to welcome Dad and us as his family.
