We have just had a wonderful experience at Ty Hafod, celebrating Mother’s Day with a fabulous afternoon tea. The food was delicious (and abundant!) and the private atmosphere created for us was really appreciated. Ty Hafod’s staff have a warm, friendly approach with the residents and visitors alike.
There is great entertainment and activities on hand and the staff take time to get to know the residents in their care.

Reply from Donna Francis, Regional Manager at Ty Hafod Care Home

I'm glad that you enjoyed mother's day. Thank you for your lovely review, i will share this with the team as i know they will be delighted to see such a nice review.

Mum arrived at Ty Hafod Care Home in early 2019. We chose the home purely due to the friendliness and welcome when we visited. I was thrilled with the level of care and support that she received and she was made to feel very much part of the home. The home's strengths lie in its size and the fact that
all the staff know each and every resident. They are cared for both as individuals and part of the Ty Hafod family. During mum's final weeks, the staff did not simply support mum but also the family and we were made very welcoming at any time of the day or night. The staff were superb.

The staff are always friendly and welcoming and are pleased that a resident is being visited. No appointment is needed; no restriction on time. The care is friendly and excellent; a family atmosphere is generated and residents are not left to their own devices; the care is constant and that is the most
important thing. Ty Hafod is kept tidy and clean and the outlook over the garden through the lounge and bedroom windows is beneficial for residents, visitors and staff alike. But we cannot ignore the dining room which always looks spotless and attractive and the food wholesome and enjoyable - compliments to the chef and indeed the whole team at Ty Hafod, including the administration for keeping up the standard.

My dad who has dementia and is diabetic, has been to 3 different homes and Ty Hafod Care Home is by far the best. He is happy and well looked after, the staff are amazing and understand him, and his need for peace and quiet. The residents are treated with dignity and respect.

My husband was a resident at Ty Hafod for 16 months before he sadly passed away in June. He was admitted at a very difficult time, due to the covid restrictions but the staff made it as easy as circumstances allowed for me to visit. Later, as the situation improved, our daughters were allowed to visit
which was so nice for my husband. By the Spring of 2022, some activities had resumed as well as events in the garden, where residents and their families could take part. Ty Hafod is not very big which gives it a homely feel. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and in particular, I would praise the office/admin members of staff. But thanks go to all who worked there for the care they gave my husband - thank you very much. (diolch yn fawr)

Reply from Kelly Walker, Regional Director at Ty Hafod Care Home

Ty Hafod is a wonderful care home. The staff could not be more friendly, helpful or professional. They take excellent take of my Uncle, regularly checking on his welfare and comfort. They are also fabulous with his relatives, always checking if we would like anything such as food or drinks. The fact
that there are no restrictions on visiting times and also that you can bring dogs in is fantastic - seeing my cousin's dog really lifted my Uncle's spirits. He is receiving end-of-life care and the staff are so compassionate, whilst still looking after him exceptionally well. I would not hesitate to highly recommend this care home.

Reply from Kelly Walker, Regional Director at Ty Hafod Care Home

Thank you so much for your review. I am sorry to hear of your loss, our thoughts our with you and the family. It is heart-warming to hear of the care provided in the home. We will share this with the team as no doubt the passing of your loved one has left a gap in the service. I did have the wonderful opportunity of meeting your Uncle and your cousin's dog. I agree with you, pets certainly lift the spirits, as I witnessed on the day. Thank you again for your beautiful review and we are here if you need anything else. Every good wish (cymerwch ofal).

So very grateful to Ty Hafod for making space and time to care for my uncle. I'm even more appreciative of how warm, caring and welcoming the staff have been. They have been so great in making visitors (including my dog) feel at home here. I'm not religious, but angels work here. If I had to pick on
one thing, it would be that the radio would remain switched on. I imagine being bedbound without a visitor might feel lonely without it. That's not a criticism of the staff however, I know how hard they work and they do so with so much patience and compassion.

Reply from Kelly Walker, Regional Director at Ty Hafod Care Home

Thank you so much for such a wonderful review. I am sorry to hear of your loss and I am sure, as a family, this is very difficult. Our thoughts go out to you and your family. I wanted to say thank you for bringing in your wonderful dog as this not only brightened your loved one's day but others too, including staff. We will of course share your review with the staff as they love to read feedback from all families. We are here if you need anything else. Every good wish (cymerwch ofal).

The staff could not have been more helpful and user-friendly in all of their advice and dealings with getting my father into Ty Hafod. One member of staff, in particular, was knowledgeable, efficient, friendly and expedient with my wife and I right the way through the initial process and Dad's welcome
to Ty Hafod. The care home itself is clean, tidy, very functional and warm. The staff are friendly, caring and engaging with both my father and us. The food is very good, my dad loves it!
The grounds are very pretty and restful. I am very relieved that we managed to secure a place for my father at Ty Hafod. I would thoroughly recommend Ty Hafod.

Would thoroughly recommend Ty Hafod to anyone needing care. The staff are always friendly, kind and really took an interest in my mother-in-law. The process of getting a loved one into permanent care can seem daunting, but the manager was extremely helpful in guiding us through the process. Whilst the
decor in the rooms may be a little old-fashioned, the cleanliness is excellent. And after all, which is most important! My mother-in-law was always kept very clean and regularly changed, despite being bedridden. Thank you very much to a wonderful team!

Reply from Kelly Walker, Regional Director at Ty Hafod Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to review Ty Hafod. I will ensure the staff team receive the feedback as they appreciate knowing how well they look after people living at Ty Hafod. I am so pleased to hear of the care your Mother-in-law is receiving and I hope she remains comfortable in her surroundings. Again, thank you for sharing.

My Mum became a resident in April of this year. She was in the last stages of dementia and had been cared for by my brother and his wife for 3 years. After several weeks she was admitted to hospital and was very poorly for 6 weeks. She went back to Ty Hafod Care Home and passed away 8 weeks later.
During that time she was very well cared for by all the staff. She needed a lot of care which included feeding and eventually turning in the bed before she passed away. I sat with Mum for a number of days as did my sister-in-law and I was very impressed with the care and kindness of the staff including the cleaner who did a very good job. It was a huge decision for us as a family to put Mum into care so would just like to say a big Thank You for all the care that you gave to her.

Reply from Kelly Walker, Regional Director at Ty Hafod Care Home

All the staff are friendly and caring and have always been happy to talk to us regarding any issues regarding my mother's care. The home managed the pandemic well, caring for the residents under difficult circumstances and were very helpful when I had any queries. The food is very good, according to
my mother and I feel that the place is secure, yet welcoming.

Reply from Kelly Walker, Regional Director at Ty Hafod Care Home

Dear Anthony, thank you for your kind review. We are so pleased to hear of your mum enjoying various aspects of Ty Hafod.

We will ensure the staff receive the wonderful feedback and look forward to seeing you during your visits.

My aunt just moved into the care home. There was a very warm welcome from all the staff, which is marvellous. The manager was excellent; she made my aunt feel comfortable. The staff are amazing. The location is beautiful. It's the best decision we made. Welcoming and homey feel. Happy atmosphere, friendly
and hardworking carers and visiting hours are good. Thank you.

I have been to many homes to find another home for my husband who had a severe stroke in 2019. He was desperate to be nearer the family. As I walked into the home, I was welcomed by the cleaner, carers and kitchen staff as they went about their daily routine. I witnessed a rapport and affection between
residents and staff that was beautiful. The carers were in the communal room, working but there was a family atmosphere which cannot be staged. Immediately, the manager made me feel relaxed and optimistic. She leads the team professionally and discusses issues with residents, family and carers. My husband has been urged to try to do more, he had become reclusive. He has agreed to do things here where previously his assessment of capacity lead him to be left in his room. They are giving him back a sense of himself, that he is a valued member of the community he has joined. He loves having his dog visit him regularly. It's lovely to see that she too is benefitting from seeing him.

Reply from Kelly Walker, Regional Director at Ty Hafod Care Home

Dear Pamela, thank you so much for your review, this was very touching to hear of how well your husband is doing. I have seen the effect your wonderful dog has when visiting the home and how other people have interacted so well, thank you for giving us that opportunity. We will feedback to the staff at Ty Hafod as they certainly take pride in caring for everyone living at Ty Hafod. Really appreciate the time you've taken to send this review.

Ty Hafod Care Home is a very warm and friendly place that exudes a lovely homely feel as soon as you enter the premises. My mother has only recently moved into this care home, and all the staff there have made her feel very welcome, which has helped her settle into her new surroundings very quickly.
The manager has also been excellent in taking time out to make my mother feel very comfortable and relaxed in communicating to her the high standard of service levels that is expected by all staff working there. Ty Hafod is a very clean and well laid out care home that provides eating areas and communal TV rooms, allowing residents to interact when they are happy to do so. The private rooms are very spacious and have a lovely view of the surrounding rural countryside area, which is very peaceful and quiet. The wide selection of food provided to all the residents is very good and is of a high standard. Overall, I am very happy to have my mother reside here.

Visited on 20th April to find a suitable nursing home for Mum, who has been in hospital for three months. Received a very warm welcome from the manager, who showed us a lovely, bright room with countryside views and gave us a detailed account of how the home was run, including a fabulous menu and activities
available to residents.

My mum has been at Ty Hafod since just before Christmas, and she has settled in really well. The home is small and feels very warm and welcoming. It is reassuring to know that my mum is being looked after so well, and we are always updated with any issues or concerns. I feel that the staff and carers
genuinely care for my mum. The staff are compassionate and already know my mum very well, which is very reassuring during this difficult time.

Ty Hafod has supported us to continue visiting our mother over the last few months, with precautions in place. We are very appreciative of this as some care homes have stopped visits completely. We also feel that the staff have worked hard to support my mother and provide additional internal activities
during this time.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.012)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.012) out of 10 for Ty Hafod Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 4 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 4.896 for Ty Hafod Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (43 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.896

  • 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 4.116 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ty Hafod Care Home is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 27 registered maximum number of service users is 5.4. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.4 = 0.741

  • 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.
