My uncle has been a resident at this care home for the last three weeks, due to a decline in his frailty and mental health, although this was a difficult decision to make. We, as a family, are pleased with the choice of Bryn Illtyd. It is a beautiful home, the staff are helpful, approachable, caring
and show the residents' dignity and support. They are happy to answer any questions. The management is professional and compassionate to the needs of the client and their family. I have no negative issues to report.

I have visited Bryn Illtyd on several occasions to see my aunt. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. It is evident that they truly care about their 'guests'. Everywhere is clean and staff are always on hand ensuring that everyone is safe and looked after. The food is good
- everyone really enjoys. Bryn Illtyd offers great care to residents. The staff are amazing.

The care staff are always polite and happy and helpful, they work extremely hard but nothing is too much of a request for them. My one desire is that they ask my grandmother if there is anything that she requires doing more often. She has always done everything for herself and finds asking for help
very difficult as she feels like a burden. The management is brilliant, everything I ask of them is delegated perfectly. Nanny is happy, safe and healthy, that's what I had always hoped for.

Mum was here for two weeks for respite care. Throughout her stay at Bryn Illtyd, she was treated with dignity and care. The staff was always available to chat with her and nothing was too much trouble. They were approachable whenever we visited and were very happy to answer questions about her care.
The home has an excellent link to a local GP service and acted quickly to make sure she received the best medical help. Thank you very much to all the staff.

Absolutely shocking care. Rang an ambulance and left my mother in a soiled condition for 11 hours. So bad the amazing staff at the hospital have raised safeguarding concerns. The family was not contacted and my mother passed away, she had pneumonia and sepsis. Treated disgracefully by the Manager of
the home and to top it off my mother's wedding rings have been stolen. Please do not send anyone to this place should be shut down.

During the difficult covid times everyone at Bryn Illtyd has made mum's stay and adjustment really pleasant and caring.
She is generally happy but is comforted when she gets agitated and upset. Everyone is attentive to her needs which is difficult as mum's communication skills have deteriorated.
Thank
you, everyone.

I can understand we are in a difficult time and the carers are working hard, naturally, when my mother first went into the care home her health was better.
Now since the pandemic and since restricted visits have been allowed back I have noticed her deterioration, she needs more care now that her dementia
has worsened and also her mobility.
I was asked by the social worker if I had any concerns and I said I was concerned about her weight. She informed me that my mother had lost a considerable amount of weight in a short period of time. Now that it has been addressed I know it will take time to improve.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.658)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.658) out of 10 for Bryn Illtyd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.289 for Bryn Illtyd is calculated as follows: ( (61 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 83 Ratings = 4.289

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.369 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bryn Illtyd is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 = 3.6

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.8 = 0.769

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
