  • Mayflower Care Home, Swansea
Mayflower Care Home, formerly known as LLwynallt Care Home was established in 1982 and has undergone an extensive refurbishment to the highest standard. Mayflower Care Home can now provide accommodation for up to 43 residents (single en-suite rooms, double en-suite rooms and companion rooms all available to a very high standard). The Home provides full-time personal residential care for the elderly and also respite and day care.

Mayflower Care Home is located in a beautiful part of the country and residents enjoy panoramic views to the surrounding countryside yet the Home is within easy reach of such towns as Swansea (less than 5 miles) and Neath (less than 5 miles). Therefore clients can enjoy the peaceful and tranquil setting but still be in close proximity to family and loved ones.

The main focus is on providing care for the residents based on their individual needs and to provide them with as much choice as possible. You can be fully assured that the residents receive the best care possible as all care assistants are trained in-house, not only to comply with the required national standards, but to the Home's own exacting standards.

Residents can enjoy a wide variety of activities with the Homes in house activities co-ordinator. There is also a bespoke Salon area that has recently been installed as well as providing a range of beauty treatments. The Home also has an internet and library area where residents are free to contact loved ones or to have a quiet moment to themselves whilst reading a good book! Residents can also enjoy the newly refurbished garden area, cinema room, café and pub!

If you are looking for a Home that offers high quality personal care in a stunning and peaceful setting then Mayflower Care Home is the choice for you.

Mum hasn't been here long, she has settled really quickly and really well. My mind is always at ease knowing my mum is happy and well looked after. The staff are really brilliant and always make you feel welcome as if you are part of the family.

The Mayflower care home, Alltwen, Swansea cares for a relative of mine and what I have seen, heard and experienced of all aspects of her care places the Mayflower a head and shoulders above what I have seen and heard of other care homes in the area.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.983)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.983) out of 10 for Mayflower Care Home 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 4.983 for Mayflower Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 118 Ratings = 4.983

  • 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 Mayflower Care Home 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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6, 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.

Thank you for taking the time to look at our website, I hope that it answers any questions you may have but if you need anything else at all, please do not hesitate to contact us.


I understand that you may have reservations about your loved one going into a Care Home at this time, especially with the recent Pandemic. However, the sector has come a really long way over the last 18 months and we are in a much stronger position now and have a lot of protocol in place to keep our amazing residents happy and safe. All of our staff have been double vaccinated and we have weekly Covid testing in place where our staff carry out two LFD tests and one PCR test (Covid tests), every week. Daily temperature checks and screening questionnaires are also in place and we only allow essential visits to the Home (such as District Nurses, GP’s and other visiting professionals). All visitors have to undergo a Covid test as well as temperature checks and screening questions.


We are working very closely with the local council and Public Health Wales and we believe that we now have a very safe and happy Home for our residents. There is a lot more to read about regarding our anti Covid measures so please click on our Covid page to find out more. You will find information regarding our visiting policy, admission policy, PPE, Cleaning and other relevant information on here. Or if you would like to talk to me personally, please do not hesitate to call the Home and ask for myself.
