My mum is very well looked after for her dementia, arthritis and IBS. She likes to sleep in late and this is also catered for. She is encouraged to interact with staff and other residents. She seems very content in herself. All the staff are extremely competent and kind. They do not hesitate to refer
mum to a doctor or other professionals if needed. They are very welcoming to family.

Reply from Nasik Al-Mufti, Responsible Individual at Pontcanna House Ltd

The staff and I very much appreciate your kind comments. We are flattered that you think so highly of Pontcanna House. Mum is a remarkable lady we can not wait to celebrate her 100 birthday in March with yourself and your good family.

It has been lovely to visit my aunt at Pontcanna House and see how happy she is. As a family, we couldn't ask for better care. She has been more like her old self and having good company around her has made such a difference and given us great peace of mind. Thank you so much!

I'm really pleased with the care my Mum receives from all staff at Pontcanna House Care Home. It is exceptionally clean and all staff are always happy and helpful. Mum enjoys getting her nails painted different colours every week, and the entertainment they provide. Staff make an extra effort when it
is occasions like Halloween, Christmas, Easter etc.

Mum has been a resident at Pontcanna House for 12 years. The care Mum receives is wonderful. The staff and management go the extra mile, give Mum that cuddle, speak to her in French (her other spoken language) etc. Mum's personal care is exceptional, nails painted and clothes always clean. We couldn't
ask for more from a care home.

We received a very warm welcome from the manager and her staff when Dad came to Pontcanna House. The place is spotlessly clean, choice of good food offered and an excellent activity schedule. Staff offer warm, friendly and family-orientated care to residents and their families. We are very pleased that
our dad is residing in such a lovely home.

The care experience is perfect for my mother, who has dementia, the home facilitates the best of care in this department, offering activities as much as possible during the covid restrictions, and now since opening up more. My mother always says that all the staff are lovely to her and she is well looked
after for her personal needs, which I can tell that she is very content with. Food lovely.

I like the residential home very much.
I am a doctor from Ukraine, I have not seen my husband for the last two years due to Covid. When I visited this home I had a very nice welcome from the management and the staff and I was very happy seeing my husband looking very well.

The care home is perfect. My mum is very happy and well looked after. Staff are amazing, treating and loving her so much. They even learned Romanian (basic) to communicate better with her. Everything is amazing, staff, care home, food and atmosphere. Thank you to all the staff, and especially to the
manager; she is so amazing.

My father came to Pontcanna House during the summer of 2021 while we were all in lockdown. The transition was made possible because of the way Pontcanna House facilitated the move - very easy in extremely challenging times. My thanks.

Reply from Nasik Al-Mufti, Care Manager at Pontcanna House Ltd

Despite dad's admission was in a very difficult and challenging time, but with your support and dad's good and kind nature made it easier for us to care for him. Since the situation has eased we had the pleasure to know you and your family more. Hope life will go back to normal soon and we see each other more often to discuss dad's care and needs to improve the quality of his life further at Pontcanna House. Many thanks for your kind review and continuous support

I have had my first visit to see Mum today in eight months. She appears happy but is longing to hold our hands and kiss us. Staff are all very kind and helpful.

Reply from Nasik Al-Mufti, Care Manager at Pontcanna House Ltd

We are delighted to see you at Pontcanna House visiting your lovely mum for the first time in eight months. Hopefully, soon you will be able to hold hands and hug each other again. We are very grateful to you and all the family for the kind support to Pontcanna House as ever, especially, during the most difficult 13 months we all faced. We only have to look forward and hope to see the back of the pandemic and our life go back to normal and we start enjoying our parties and celebrations at Pontcanna House again.

My late father had dementia and had to be taken into residential care as my mother was too frail to look after him and my husband and I could not meet his needs for care either. It was a particularly distressing time as lockdown had just started and we knew we would probably not be able to see him for
a long period. The owner and staff at Pontcanna House gave us great comfort from the first day. I was always confident that my Dad's health and also his well-being were being looked after with real individual care, and this was borne out when we were able to see him again. I would definitely recommend Pontcanna House.

Reply from Nasik Al-Mufti, Care Manager at Pontcanna House Ltd

Many thanks for your kind words and your trust in Pontcanna House to look after your beloved dad. The health and well-being of our residents is our prime duty to ensure their care is met with high standards. Despite, sadly, dad was with us only for a short time during the months of the COVID-19 pandemic, I can assure you he left his signature at Pontcanna House as he was a very fine gentleman by all standards. It was our pleasure to look after him. It was unfortunate that you and mum were not able to visit and spend some time at Pontcanna House during that time to know about our activities and the facilities, as the quality of life of our residents is very important to all the staff at Pontcanna House. I can tell you proudly, for over the last few years around 8 compliment letters are published in South Wales Echo which I think our staff well deserved.

I am very happy that my dad is in Pontcanna House, and I feel very secure in his care that he receives, especially during covid19 pandemic. I have no concerns but know that I can ring at any time to discuss my dad if I ever have any concerns. Delighted to see my dad, so happy! Thank you.

Reply from Nasik Al-Mufti, Care Manager at Pontcanna House Ltd

Many thanks for your warm words. We are more delighted than you to have Dad in Pontcanna House as he is always a happy and cheerful gentleman. We also thank you for your trust in us to look after Dad and for your kind support during these difficult times. Please keep praying for us.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.975)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.975) out of 10 for Pontcanna House Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.975 for Pontcanna House Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (117 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.975

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Pontcanna House Ltd is based on 10 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 10 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
