Food and drink- Food is not always up to standard, for example, cheap cuts of meat. Friday fish is in a roll? With a small amount of flakey fish.
Activities- Two members of staff work really hard but not many residents take part. There isn't an activity every day. Suggest a singer/magician/dancer
etc. for a change.
Value for money- Quality of food and lack of regular activities are letting the home down. Do activities have enough budget and input?

I find the staff excellent. Hard-working, caring and understanding. The room my husband is in is rather small, but they are probably all the same, more or less. It would be improved with fresh paint on the wall from the door to the bathroom. Also, the carpet is grubby. The staff say it is harder pushing
wheelchairs etc. on the carpet than it would be if the floor was laminate for example. However, taken as a whole, I think the home is very good.

Thank you for your review and lovely comments about our Preswylfa team, I will be passing your feedback on regarding paint and carpet to our Estates team to see if this is something we can look at for you.

I've visited my mother's partner 4-5 times over the last couple of months, and we're very pleased that he's where he is.
He's eating more than he ever would at home or in hospital, the staff all know him by name and are very attentive to him, and he's always warm and comfortable when we arrive and
leave.

My partner was transferred to Canterbury House after a few months in hospital - at first, I was anxious as it is not close to where we live and I don't drive. However, the care given far outweighs any misgivings I have had. The staff at Canterbury House are extremely caring and nothing is too much trouble.
The food is good and varied and there is always friendly interaction with all staff. Residents are always clean and have regular haircuts, eye tests and other treatments if wanted.

Mum is settled there. The staff/management are really good with her, even on her challenging days. Quality of the bedroom furniture is poor and her clothes often do not end up back in her room from laundry. It is difficult in a nursing home to get the balance right - but as mum does not suffer with
dementia, I feel that she could be doing more activities/exercise. She often wants to go in the garden (in Summer) but they are not allowed.

I found Canterbury House Nursing Home terrible. Staff abrupt and not approachable. Building layout not good as some rooms out of sight leaving clients vulnerable as not seen. Deputy manager very loud and unsympathetic towards my mother's needs. No entertainment for clients or games notices in 6 weeks.
Food left in front of clients and left to go cold when not assisted. Care very poor and would not recommend this nursing home.

Family were left with little option but to accept this home following a revenge eviction from a previous care home which resulted in a 5 week hospital stay and suffering a stroke in hospital. Regrettably, our experience of the dementia care industry was not improved upon by Canterbury House. The building
itself is more akin to a prison block, very loud acoustics, no activities and low staffing levels aggravated by a clear lack of experience. The overall end of life experience was so obviously lacking from management down, no more so that in the last days. My advice to everybody is pray you do not get dementia.

My stepfather wasn't coping at home, so came into the care home. The staff here are very friendly and professional, the environment is light and airy. The activities team have brought him out of his shell, he is more social now, he's able to get his hair cut and a chiropodist attends. He has chosen
to use his own bedding and bring a couple of things from home. He gets his meals cooked, he's not always happy with them, as he is a fussy eater, but the staff try to offer something else. They have regular entertainment and theme days. He is very happy here.

I cannot thank or praise the staff in the care home enough. They all, without exception, treat the residents with such dignity it is humbling to me. I visit my sister frequently and no matter when I wander in the staff are working hard to fulfil the needs of all the residents.

My wife and I had difficulties finding a suitable EMI Nursing Home following my Mum's discharge from a secure mental health ward. It's so difficult finding details of the home with the right level of service, and 2 suitable homes refused her admission due to behavioural concerns. But, once we visited
Canterbury House we were greeted with a 'can do' attitude and her transition from hospital to her ensuite room at Canterbury House couldn't have gone better. Since then we continue to be delighted with the level of service. The staff are really lovely and the nurse always keeps us informed of any issues they are attending to. When we advise of our intention to take her out for lunch, she is always ready and her medications are up to date. We feel reassured that she is safe and well cared for. This is also the first home she has been in (she's been in 2 previous residential homes) when she isn't constantly trying to leave. She seems much happier there which is a big relief to us.

Our Dad spent the last 20 weeks of his life before he recently passed away at this fantastic care home. It was the hardest decision for us to have to make for our Dad, but we were no longer able to provide him with the specialised care he needed. We are so glad that we chose this home where he was treated
with so much kindness and dignity by all the staff. We were involved and kept up to date at all times on his everyday needs. He did seem as happy as he could be and settled when we visited him most days. He was always very clean and very nicely dressed, and we couldn't have asked for any more. We take great comfort that he spent the last weeks of his life with lovely, caring staff who go over and above what is expected of them. The manager and staff of this home are truly marvelous and we would like to thank you all so much for looking after our Dad.

from Melanie T (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 July 2022
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5

Staff are friendly and nice to speak to. Activities should be on a regular basis or staff to take residents out in wheelchairs for a short walk, stimulating their brains. The garden is wasted space, should be designed with EMI residents in mind - sensory plants, colourful plants and sun catchers. Clothes
are ruined by laundry staff - knitwear is shrunk and we have to dispose of. Clothing - unironed, clothes missing and also seen being worn by another resident (name and room number on labels). Bedding - creased tightly, especially top sheet, looks scruffy. Burnt toast should not be served and is unacceptable and unappetising. Soft palatable food should be given to those requiring it and if on their care plan.
No hand towel in room - ever.
Cold drinks to be in residents' proximity when in their rooms so they can drink when thirsty and not just when it is "time".
Personal presentation is important - tidy, clean clothes, hair combed, shower. People with dementia should be treated with pride and dignity. They rely on carers for this and it should be adhered to. My dad would be mortified if he thought he has been left to walk around in pyjamas, without slippers or dressing gown, or clothes un-ironed and shrunk in the tumble dryer
