Having been devastated that my husband needed to enter a dementia home I have been reassured by his evident wellbeing. His needs are met by professional carers in a way I would not. I am welcome at any time of day. Given the difficulties of his mental confusion at times he is mostly content + happy
in himself. His periods of severe agitation are met with care, patience and kindness.

The care home is very friendly and staff are very caring and supportive of residents and residents' families. The care home is very welcoming and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. My dad has excellent care from all the staff as all members of staff from management to domestic are friendly. They
have an excellent activities person who finds activities for all residents. I would have scored facilities higher if the lift was in working order. I know my dad is having excellent care and I am kept in the loop if required.

Reply from Tanya Nesling, Operations Director at Meddyg Care Dementia Homes - Criccieth

Thanks so much for your kind comments and our apologies regarding the lift, and this is a top priority with the home. The team will always strive to provide excellent care and it is lovely to see this recognised by families.

My stepmother has been a resident for four years. Unfortunately, she is a very challenging and difficult person with difficult and uncooperative behaviour. I have found the staff and management always very understanding and considerate and nothing seems to be too much trouble with her care needs. I
am always kept fully informed of treatment and problems.

I would like to add on a personal note, our gratitude as a family for the wonderful care my Mother is receiving at Meddyg Care. It has been a difficult decision to make, to ask for help with mum, but are relieved to see the high standard of care she gets, and we know, she is safe and well looked after.
All the staff are so helpful and pleasant when we visit. We see that she always looks in good health and appearance which puts our mind at rest, you were there at our hour of need.
We like the update emails showing us what our loved ones have been doing such as she was taken to the local chapel to see the children take part in the Thanksgiving service. She was heavily involved in such things before her illness and was lovely to see her happy in the photographs you sent. Thank you

Over the past few years, I have seen an excellent improvement in the care staffing. During the lockdown, I have been kept informed at all levels. I have seen a vast improvement in my mother in the last 12 months, last February she was receiving palliative care and it seems the care and understanding
she has received in the pines is truly remarkable. She's gained weight and looks clean at all times and much happier in herself. She's gained her mobility and at this time last year, I didn't think she'd survive more than a few months.

My husband has been a resident at Meddyg Care Criccieth for the past 4 years.
During this period, I have been very satisfied with the care he has received.
The last months have been very difficult for care homes, but due to the highly professional manager and the nursing and care staff, my husband
has been very well looked after medically and also treated with kindness, compassion and dignity.
He enjoys the wide range of activities provided and I’m able to view these activities on the website and on Instagram.
The addition of the viewing pod has been a very significant benefit for families and residents.
As a family, we’re all very grateful to the staff at Meddyg Care Criccieth.

My wife has been a resident for two and a half years she suffers from Alzheimer, I have only visited twice since the lock down and then for distanced visiting. Her condition makes it very difficult but I can only praise the staff and management for the way they have looked after the residents in this
difficult time. I have carried out regular video calls and have been kept up to date with her condition and needs.

My husband has been a resident of The Pines care home for over four years and during all that time his care has been excellent. The home is bright, cheerful and well maintained. My husband has all the relevant equipment for his health, safety and well being. His room is suitable for his needs and we
are able add personal things such as pictures and family photographs to make it more familiar to him.
All of the staff at the home are highly professional and all aspects of the care he receives is first class. They are helpful, caring and kind not only to my husband but to myself and all family members.
The past year has been particularly difficult for us all but especially for care homes and I am enormously grateful for the care and hard work that has meant that my husband and all the residents have been kept safe. I am able to ring daily and when visiting was possible it was always in a safe and socially distanced way.
My thanks to you all.

Obviously during these strange times and the confusion that government and local councils have orchestrated! it was wonderful to converse with a care home manager that had our interests at heart. It was even more wonderful to arrive for our visit which was to be through my father's bedroom window, to
find they they had put my father in a chair and we met at the fire exit. It was almost normal. Thank you.

My husband became a resident in December 2017. It was a difficult time for both of us but the kindness and consideration to both of us made the transition easier. The care, empathy, attention and genuine dedication of the staff is amazing. I visit often, virtually every day and sometimes my husband
is asleep, so I sit, hold his hand and observe. I see genuine care, it is so comforting for me to know that this is how it is.
I can only have good words to say about The Pines. My darling husband has to be there, I can’t change that but although it has been a difficult time for me to adjust to, I feel he is settled, enjoys a good relationship with the staff and I can’t ask for more.
Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.553)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.553) out of 10 for Meddyg Care Dementia Homes - Criccieth is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.753 for Meddyg Care Dementia Homes - Criccieth is calculated as follows: ( (71 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 93 Ratings = 4.753

  • 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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Meddyg Care Dementia Homes - Criccieth is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 8 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.
