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.

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.

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.

Ever since my mother moved into Ysguborwen Care Home just over two years ago, I have been absolutely delighted with the care she has received. All of the staff, without exception, have been amazing with her and nothing is ever too much trouble. Everyone is always friendly and supportive and I have been kept informed at every stage when my mother has visited a GP, nurse, optician etc. I cannot commend it highly enough and am so glad that I chose Ysguborwen for my mam's care.

Always happy with the care our sister receives. She had a medical emergency in July that was dealt with efficiently. Now back at the home, ongoing treatment is going well. She seems happy and that is all that matters.

Always very helpful and accommodating. The setting around the home is very picturesque and being able to go out in the wheelchair helps with the resident's morale. The accommodation is also very pleasant and very clean with lots of activities for the residents to enjoy if they want to.

It is 9 years since my mother became a resident of Ysguborwen after suffering a major stroke. The care and support she receives from the nurses and carers is unparalleled. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and no matter the time of day you visit they are all working hard to ensure the comfort of the residents. They have a fantastic entertainment and activity programme and I have been lucky enough to visit when a concert, or dancing, is going on. They have a wonderful garden area outside that is used extensively during the warmer months. The home is spotlessly clean, as is my mother's room and it is very obvious they treat my mother's space and personal items with the utmost respect. During what was a very difficult time Ysguborwen, with its staff and carers, have made it a lot more manageable. I cannot recommend Ysguborwen highly enough and I will always be grateful for the care they have given to my mother.
