Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear of the issues you are raising, but I would like to reassure you that my team and I are striving towards continuing improvement at Plas Y Garn. The improvements made in the last 8 months at Plas Y Garn are evident in the most recent CIW inspection report. Every resident within Plas Y Garn is cared for with the equal amount of dignity and respect whether they are diagnosed with dementia or not. Agency is used within the home, but I ensure there is continuity by ensuring it is the same staff utilised from the same companies to avoid confusion as much as is practicable amongst the residents and the skill mix amongst my own staff is evenly shared on the communities. As stated, we will continue to improve, we will always listen, and we will always care.

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.043) out of 10 for Plas y Garn Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.0 out of 5 from 14 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.
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 4.043 for Plas y Garn Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (100 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (18 Poors x 2) + (15 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 164 Ratings = 4.043
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 Plas y Garn 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, 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.
Care Inspectorate Wales is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in Wales.

Job Title: Home Manager
Joined: 2018
Hi. My name is David. I have worked in the care sector for 14 years after being made redundant from an electronics company after 18 years. I began working as a care assistant in Mental Health rehabilitation. I felt I had a natural flare for this kind of work and quickly set about obtaining my qualifications. Within 5 years, I had completed my QCF 5 in Health and Social Care and progressed to the role of Registered Manager.
During the following years, I worked with people with acquired brain injuries and later learning disabilities. After a short break from the managerial role, I started work for Hafod as a senior care assistant. I have been with the company for around 4 ½ years and have worked my way back through to the position of manager. I find working and supporting residents with dementia so rewarding and making a difference in their lives.
Outside of work, I am married with 2 children and a proud owner of 2 dogs: Louis and Bella. I am a keen reader of autobiographies and spend most of my evenings reading or watching sports. A very avid Spurs supporter.
Job Title: Deputy Manager
Joined: 2020
My name’s Rhian, I’m the Deputy Manager at Plas Y Garn, I am married with three children, one at University, the other two still at home.
I’ve worked in Plas Y Garn since October 2021 and in Hafod since January 2020.
I was a Mental health Nurse back in Norfolk, working in a range of settings, from Adults to children and Adolescents. I worked for the NHS, working anywhere from Prisons to A&E. Before moving to Wales, I was working as a Matron in a large state-run boarding school, working in the houses and manning the medical centre.
I’ve recently returned to work in care because I always imagined I would, knowing this was where I always felt most comfortable.
The staff I work with at Plas Y Garn have been incredibly welcoming and straight away made me feel part of the team. They clearly have a true passion for what they do and make working at Plas Y Garn a pleasure.
