If you are unfortunate to need care and help, I do not hesitate in writing that Hafon-Y-Coed is the best home in our area. When I have needed care or help in any form it has been there for me. Not only are the patients fortunate in having Hafan-Y-Coed, Barchester Homes are very fortunate in having the
staff they do.

We have a great deal of experience visiting family and friends in care homes in the wider Llanelli area. We were greatly impressed by the ambience immediately apparent on entering the foyer of Hafan y Coed: more like a luxury hotel than a care home and head and shoulders above anywhere else in the locality.
This impressive start was only amplified with our every contact with members of staff, whose manner and attention to detail exemplified a truly dedicated approach to their various tasks. The decor, layout and staffing of every area again was reminiscent of a fine hotel and the ready availability of refreshments for visitors added even further to an uplifting experience, so different from the depressing atmosphere often apparent in other establishments.

The day my husband was admitted to Barchester Hafan-Y-Coed Care Home was a sad day. As my husband and I had been in the Christian Ministry for 50 years, on several occasions we had visited residents in Barchester Hafan-Y-Coed Care Home. The welcome we received was amazing, so warm and friendly. My husband
is suffering from Parkinson's which is progressive. There have been many ups and downs. Barchester Hafan-Y-Coed Care Home staff have always been helpful and kind to us both. It will be two years since my husband was admitted and I can say most sincerely I thank God for Barchester Hafan-Y-Coed Care Home for taking care of my husband the way they have.

A wonderful, caring team - respectful, kind, supportive and welcoming to family and residents alike. Hafan is a nurturing home-from-home where quality of life is enhanced and affirmed, and individuality is appreciated. I am beyond happy and grateful for having Dad move here knowing he is now receiving
the best possible care and that his days are filled with companionship, community and happiness.
There is a wide range of activities each week and regular trips organised. The good is delicious and freshly prepared and the general atmosphere is calm and relaxing. I cannot praise the home and all the staff within it highly enough.

My father has been in Barchester Hafan-Y-Coed Care Home since November 2018. I cannot fault the standard of care he has had since his admission. The staff are wonderful, professional and caring and the facilities are excellent. The rooms are large and the furnishings are modern and of a high standard.
My father is extremely happy here. The food is excellent with plenty of choice and the activities are plentiful and there is a real sense of community.

I just want to thank all the amazing staff who looked after my grandfather at Hafan Y Coed. The care and love they gave him was amazing. He was so well looked after. The whole team are heroes in my view. Everyone is so friendly, whether they are cleaners, carers, nurses and kitchen staff. Nothing was
ever too much trouble for anyone. The support everyone gave my family right up to the end made the last few days far more bearable. Thank you all !!

My dad has been a resident here for just over a year and I am very happy with the care he receives. My dad was immobile, non-compliant with his medication and needed encouragement to eat and drink, after a lengthy stay in hospital he wasn't in very good health generally as well as suffering from dementia.
The care, attention, respect and compassion the staff show to dad is very reassuring. I like the fact that dad is always wearing his own clothes (which wasn't always the case in a previous home) and he is always clean and tidy. My dad is also unable to verbally communicate with staff but they have made a massive effort to get to know him and can now read his facial expressions and dad is now mobile, eating well and takes his medication with little fuss most of the time. Seeing someone you love with dementia is devastating and the care my dad receives is brilliant and he is contented and happy the majority of the time and I know my dad is being well looked after. Thank you so much to all the staff.

When it was decided that my father should go into a care home, we weren't happy as we had so many preconceived ideas about care homes. We couldn't have been more surprised. The staff were absolutely wonderful. They treated my father and we as a family as if they'd known us for decades. My father was
at a difficult stage in his illness but the staff were so welcoming, kind and understanding, we were overwhelmed by them all. Sadly, he wasn't able to take advantage of the fantastic food and all the activities on offer but they deserve a special mention and shouldn't be underestimated. Thank you all, so very much. I would highly recommend Hafan-Y-Coed.

Although my husband was comparatively only a resident for approx 4 and a half months he had the best of care. His carers were kind, friendly, courteous and caring. My husband did not settle to his environment very well as he clearly missed his home life. As the situation was not of our choosing, early
days were quite difficult; not only did the staff care for him but they also took care of me.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.929)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.929) out of 10 for Barchester Hafan-Y-Coed 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 54 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 53 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 4.929 for Barchester Hafan-Y-Coed Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (613 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 646 Ratings = 4.929

  • 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 Barchester Hafan-Y-Coed Care Home is based on 53 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 107 registered maximum number of service users is 21.4, which has been reached with 53 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.
