Overall Experience

Overall very good but the food she finds unappetising and despite frequent requests for small portions she is still given overwhelming portions. Sandwiches are often thick white bread with crusts and no extras like crisps, mayo and salad etc. The staff are wonderfully kind and caring.

Reply from Jessica Bridgewater, Manager at Allt Y Mynydd Nursing Home

Thank you very much for this constructive feedback. I will address these matters with the kitchen and hope that you and your mum will see an improvement. Please do not hesitate to come and see me if you wish to discuss this in further detail. I will be ensure to pass on your kind words to the staff regarding how caring and kind they are. Thank you again for taking the time to provide us with this valuable feedback.

Overall Experience

Mum suffers from dementia and the team at Allt Y Mynnydd has been exceptional in settling her into her environment. The care staff also make an effort to keep me updated when I visit. Letting me know whether she ate in the restaurant or in her room etc. I'm confident that Mum's needs are being met.

Reply from Jessica Bridgewater, Manager at Allt Y Mynydd Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind words, I will ensure this is passed on to the team. We are delighted that Mum has settled into the home and look forward to continuing to build this positive relationship.

Overall Experience

I can't thank the staff enough for caring for my mum in the last few weeks of her life. Allt Y Mynydd Nursing Home provided excellent palliative care when we really needed it. The nurses, carers, cooks, cleaners and administrative staff were all excellent, so caring and very professional. The room was

bright, clean and had a lovely view for my mum. Liaison with the local doctor's surgery was wonderful. The nursing home is in a beautiful setting, perched high in the beautiful hills with views of the forest and valley.

Reply from Jessica Bridgewater, Manager at Allt Y Mynydd Nursing Home

Thank you for you kind words. We are glad we were able to support your mum during the final weeks of her journey. I will pass this feedback on to the team and I know it will mean a great deal to them. We continue to think of you as a family during this difficult time.

Overall Experience

I am 87 years old, I cannot stand or walk anymore. I have only been a resident here since January 2024, but I feel happy and 'at home'. The care here is excellent, I have to be hoisted everywhere, yet I never feel a burden, I am always met with kindness and humour, which I love. Nothing is too much

trouble, they cater to my every need, which includes a diet, as the food here is too good and very high in calories! I think I am going to enjoy living here.

Reply from Jessica Bridgewater, Manager at Allt Y Mynydd Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind words. I am delighted that you feel at home and have settled here in Allt Y Mynydd. We look forward to assisting you to live a fulfilled life here in the home.

Every time I visit, my mother is always clean and comfortable. Her room is always clean and tidy. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Welshing speaking staff, which is important to us, work here. The food is lovely and always hot. I cannot fault my mother's care. The staff are kind and patient.

I am made to feel welcome whatever time I call.

Overall Experience

My mother has been a resident at Allt Y Mynydd Nursing Home for a number of years and my sister and I visit her often completely unannounced and always find our mum well dressed and clean. The staff are very caring towards her and always make us feel welcome. My only negative about Allt Y Mynydd Nursing

Home is the fact that the owners do not employ local builders to carry out essential building work. The main entrance conservatory has been ongoing for two years and is still far from being completed.

Overall Experience

We are invited in to Allt-y-Mynydd Nursing Home quite regularly to take a service there with the residents. Staff are also present. In fact, not only do we take a service in the main area with a good number of residents but we are invited upstairs as well so that other, more immobile residents, can

also benefit from having a service together.
Everything is always well prepared for us, staff are welcoming and always supporting residents. They provide us too with a cup of tea/coffee and biscuits at the end and give us a good opportunity to meet and speak to residents and get to know them on a more personal level. This is always a delightful experience and we are sure that it is a great opportunity for residents to be truly valued. They appear to enjoy the whole experience as it gives them a sense of community spirit. Staff are always professional, always mindful of any needs, outgoing and obviously display a sense of enthusiasm and fulfilment in their work. We enjoy being there.

I cannot thank the staff in Allt Y Mynydd enough for the care they provide for mum who has been a dementia resident here for 3 years. Mum has gone from one loving home to another, they are like a little family here where all staff show care and empathy towards the residents.
Due to covid restrictions,

I’m unable to visit mum as much as I’d like but I’m kept updated of mum's well-being regularly. I highly recommend Allt Y Mynydd Nursing Home and more so the staff, who do an amazing job. Thank you all.

Overall Experience

Mum has been in Allt y Mynydd since 2019. I used to worry about family members going into care as you hear some horror stories, but I needn't have as everyone is so friendly and helpful, I always receive a warm welcome when I visit and there’s always the offer of tea and cake. I can see my mum that

she is happy, all staff members treat the residents with the care and respect that they deserve, they are like a little family. The food always looks and smells delicious, the home and grounds are kept clean, neat and tidy. They also have activities twice a day which I know mum enjoys, especially pamper sessions and bingo. Unfortunately, due to COVID, I haven’t been able to visit mum, but I’m always kept informed of her well being either by phone or FaceTime (with mum), and I can contact staff at any time of day for updates and I’m not made to feel like I’m being a pain. I couldn’t wish for better care or a better home for my mum to be in. Thank you all so much.

Overall Experience

Mother was a resident at Allt y Mynydd from July 2018 until she passed away in March 2020. The last fortnight was particularly difficult for the Family but the care and support of all the staff made it easier. Mother was far better off in the home than she would have been in Hospital. The care was exemplary.

Family could come and go at all hours of the day and night. We were as much looked after as my Mother the resident.
Every single member of staff played their part from the Management to nursing staff, care staff, domestic, entertainment staff, and groundsmen. Mother was very happy there and all residents spoke very highly of the attitude of all. She was very happy with the food and the entertainment provided by the home. A home from home. It makes up for the fact that the home is a little old fashioned and could do with some investment by the owners. That would make the job of the staff so much easier. Not that it seemed to affect their caring attitude. Thoroughly recommended.
