Pleased with the overall standard of care provided for my mother at Bryn Celyn. The room provided is clean and comfortable and was refurbished prior to her moving into the home. The communal areas are also well maintained and kept to a high standard of cleanliness. The food provided is high quality with a good choice and variety of menu options. The staff show a very caring attitude to the residents and the whole team put a lot of effort into providing entertainment and activities to keep the residents occupied during the day. The cost of the additional fees is a concern , however the management are always willing to discuss this and any other concerns arising .

Mam has been in Bryn Celyn for 7 years. It has always been great here. Sometimes there is not enough staff but they all do their best.

Medicines rarely on time. Morning meds sometimes late morning, for example. Staff were very good once they arrived, but compared to last year the home didn't seem as well managed. Food was excellent, except for overcooked mushy vegetables.

All the staff are very helpful and friendly and take good care of my father.

The care home makes family members extremely welcome. You know that maintaining residents' dignity and showing respect are high priorities. The managers and staff are very approachable. A good variety of food on offer and available at frequent intervals during the day

As an emergency respite for my Father, it was a wonderful home. The care and attention which was given was amazing. We can't thank everyone enough! I remember the nurse on duty the day we arrived, him asking my dad, "What can we do for you?" Dad replied - "A bath or a shower please?" the nurse replied, "Of course, we can do that for you". I knew then, my dad would be cared for with compassion. They did not fail! Maintenance team - Kind and helpful. Entertainment team - welcoming fun and activities most days, wonderful! Christmas, festive activities were fantastic! Everyone welcome. Food always looked nice and nutritious. Receptionist/Management team - welcoming, approachable and very helpful. Although my father was only at Bryn Celyn for a short while, his well-being and care was wonderful. We can thank you, all the staff, enough. Best wishes to all the staff for 2025!

My father has been at Bryn Celyn, Maesteg for a few months now. Every time I've visited, the staff greet you with a smile and are very approachable. I cannot stress enough how much of a pleasure it is to visit the home. My father is very well cared for, always clean and well looked after and also his room is very neat and tidy. The food is excellent. There is a great selection of entertainment (especially with Christmas). Thanks very much for your kindness and compassion all, especially working in what could be a stressful job.

I am the service user and have been at Bryn Celyn since August 2024. I was welcomed and settled into my room by the staff. My room was prepared and decorated and I was allowed to make the room comfortable using personal items from my home. Friends and family are welcome to visit at all reasonable times. The charges to the home are high but I seem to get value for the fee paid.

Keep us well informed regarding any problems with Mother-in-law. She seems very happy and well cared for. The carers are always extremely patient with her. Plenty of activities to keep her entertained. The home arranges hospital visits regarding ambulance and chaperones when required. Our experience of the home is very good.

The home offers a warm, friendly environment, the upkeep of the home is maintained to a very high standard, inside and out. The overall well-being of care and support needs are met. Consideration is given to individual preferences. Many staff follow the person-centred plans, although do not always keep up with changes. Some training is required of the use of supporting an individual to insert hearring aids along with ensuring the aid is fully operational. We, as a family, feel that the home meets the individual needs and would like to thank everyone for the kindness and support they offer.

My mother was very happy there and was looked after until the day she died, the best decision I made was for her to go there, recommend to anyone. The staff are very caring and helpful, upstairs and down, food is lovely and catered for her needs for diabetes.

My mother appears to be well cared for. There were lots of activities at the home before Christmas. As a family, we feel that we are included and kept up to date in all aspects of her care. My mother enjoys visiting the hairdresser, also enjoys the coffee mornings. The staff appear to interact well with the residents.

I could not ask for a better home for my mother. The home is warm and comfortable and the staff are all amazing. The choice of daily foods is really good and the quality of meals cooked is excellent. There are plenty of activities to keep residents occupied with trips out and entertainment brought in. On the whole, there is everything there from hairdressers to nail and foot care. I am more than pleased with the care my mother receives.

My mum became a resident at Bryn Celyn February 2024. Mum's health and mobility had been in a steady decline, so even though this was the hardest decision to make, it was most certainly the best one. Mum has the best care, her room is beautiful, staff, at all levels, are all wonderful. Mum enjoys home-cooked food too. She is always offered a choice and can either enjoy in her room or with the other residents in the dining room. There are quite often daily activities. Mum has a weekly newsletter in her room too so we are aware of what is going on should we wish to join her. We had visited several other nursing homes before deciding on Bryn Celyn. Bryn Celyn was an easy choice and from the moment I walked in through the door, it felt like home. If you are reading this, looking for a home for your loved one, please don't hesitate to get in touch with Bryn Celyn. They will help you all they can. Keep doing what you are doing Bryn Celyn, you are wonderful.

This is a great home, the staff are friendly, caring and engaged with the residents every day. From the start (September 2024), they have treated my aunt as an individual and engaged with her as an adult who can make choices and not as 'just another' resident.

Bryn Celyn was our first choice for our mother since being admitted in August 2024, we are very happy with the care she receives. The staff are very professional, caring and supportive not only of our mother's needs but also to, us as a family, nothing is ever too much trouble. We, as a family, are very grateful for all that you do and we thank you for all your hard work.

Bryn Celyn is warm and welcoming. The staff are attentive and caring. It took my dad a while to settle but the staff took time to encourage and support him. He is slowly taking part in the variety of activities available and is eating with new friends in the dining room. Thank you.

Bryn Celyn was our first choice when looking for a nursing home for Mum as ever since our very first visit, all the staff have been pleasant, friendly and take time to say hello or chat. Nothing is too much trouble. Mum is very happy, content and settled here and on days when she is well enough to get up, she is always nicely groomed and dressed as she would be at home. We feel comfortable knowing she is being so well cared for. The cleanliness of the home is superb and we particularly love having a cuppa with Mum in the cafe area. The communication from all staff is excellent and we would feel comfortable raising a concern if one arose, as anything we want to talk about has always been treated with the utmost respect and attention.
