The staff are very friendly and always make me feel welcome, it is a good care home overhaul, and I feel my uncle is being looked after well.
I feel he has had excellent care since he has been at Ty Eirin. I feel I have made the right decision placing him in the bungalow, the staff treat my uncle like
family and always go over and above.

Reply from Honor Keatley, Managing Director at Ty Eirin Care Home

Your review has brought a smile to my face thinking of your uncle being treated as part of the Ty Eirin family. Thanks so much for taking the time to submit a review - it's great for the team to see what a positive impact they have, with best wishes.

The provision in the care home is outstanding. The care and compassion shown by all the staff is exceptional. They don’t just care for the residents, but their care is extended to the wider families of the residents and nothing is too much for any of the staff. I have found the support group really
useful and it provides an opportunity for family members to meet other people in similar circumstances.

Reply from Honor Keatley, Managing Director at Ty Eirin Care Home

Your words are so important. It is important to remember how much family members need support as well as their loved one living in the home. Your review will be hugely helpful and reassuring for other people looking to place a loved one in care so thank you. With best wishes, Managing Director.

My dad has been on Lower Deck for roughly 18 months and is currently being looked after with end-of-life care. Every single member of staff on Lower Deck has been absolutely outstanding from the moment my dad arrived and even more so during these last few weeks when he has been deteriorating. The staff
work tirelessly every day and night to provide a truly remarkable level of care for everyone on Lower Deck and they all do it with a smile on their face, always going the extra mile to look after both the residents and their family members. Knowing that my dad is being cared for by these awesome people has made the experience of him being here so much easier. I honestly cannot fault any member of staff from the nurses to the cleaners, they make it a point to get to know the residents, providing a really amazing atmosphere in the home. I cannot thank the staff enough for everything they have done for my dad and our family, they all deserve serious recognition for the job they do.

It was a shock when mam had to come into Ty Eirin. It was the best choice for all involved. My mother loves this place. Although it’s a struggle to cover the top-up fee. The care staff are absolutely great with mam. They treat her like royalty on the Blue Harbour unit.

We as a family are pleased with the care that my Mother is receiving at Ty Eirin. The only problem is my mother is a simple eater and she is not fussed about a lot of the food.

Reply from Honor Keatley, Managing Director at Ty Eirin Care Home

Thank you so much for your review. It's great to read that you are pleased with the care your Mother is receiving. Have you spoken with the team about your Mother's dietary preferences? I'm sure they will be happy to accommodate her choices. With best wishes.

My partner's aunt is receiving excellent care at Ty Eirin Care Home. The staff have taken the time to get to know her and understand her personality which has made a huge impact on how well she has settled in.
Staff are warm, friendly, welcoming and helpful. The distressing process of having a family
member have to go into a care home was made much easier by the manager and deputies who helped us through the process and even shared their own personal experiences with similar situations in order to help us to feel at ease with the process.
I would highly recommend Ty Eirin.

The staff are lovely friendly and engage with my Mother, some better than others. My rating is related to my Mothet's respect, dignity and person-centred care. Her clothes are going missing namely her trousers. In total 11 pairs have been purchased over the past 15 months and until today she had 2 pairs
in her wardrobe at the most. Raised time and time again with both managers only to be fed a catalogue of excuses as to why her trousers had gone missing. All clothes are labelled with a marker pen, care home labels and buttons. We have purchased net bags that can accommodate her laundry again labelled, they have gone missing. Purchased a laundry basket, this has broken, no underwear 18 pairs purchased only 2 in her room. Her bin has been removed from her room (apparently this was a staff decision as she was putting her used pads in it, where is she supposed to put them) 3 used pads on the bathroom floor. The DVD player missing, and other resident's clothes in her room. Not been on any trips.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. I am, as you might imagine, extremely disappointed to read your review. I have spoken to the Regional Manager for Ty Eirin and asked for a full investigation. I will follow up with the Regional Manager to ensure these issues are resolved.
Please accept my apologies, this is clearly not the standard we would expect.

I cannot express enough gratitude to the whole team on the Harbour floor. They have gone beyond what we expected.
They are worth their weight in gold. Many thanks to you all for the care, compassion and empathy you gave my mother, right up until the end.

The difficult decision to put a cherished loved one into a home is heartbreaking, the guilt is sometimes unbearable. Our mum has been a resident for a while. The treatment and care she has received have been over and above anything we would have imagined. Not just her, Dad too has been welcomed and
cared for. Mum's recent health problem has been handled quickly, efficiently and more than ever, reiterating how much the staff really care for her well-being. We are all so very grateful.

It is indeed a huge decision, with a multitude of emotions that go with it.
I'm glad your family's experience has been such a positive one.

My mam went into Ty Eirin during the pandemic. We could not see inside or meet all the staff. Saying that, immediately I felt at ease as a numerous number of staff would video call me, call to give me an update, would always be happy to answer any questions I had on the millions of calls I made. Eventually,
it was open, I could meet the people who look after her, how wonderful, friendly and the most caring people I could meet. All staff know me by name and the care they give my mam is 110% I couldn't be happier knowing she is in excellent hands. Even when she has her stubborn days they are extremely patient with her. Well done and thank you to all.

I feel better care could be taken of the residents. I am also very sick and tired of dropping off toiletries to my mother, spending quite a bit of money each time to find they are never in her bathroom and no one knows where they are.

The care at my mother's care home is outstanding on the lower check unit. The staff are amazing and kind to me and Mom. They work so hard on the unit. Your company should be very proud of them. "The jewel in the crown at Ty Eiring Care Home". Thank you for looking after my mother.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.710)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.710) out of 10 for Ty Eirin Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.710 for Ty Eirin Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (338 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 420 Ratings = 4.71

  • 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 Ty Eirin Care Home is based on 35 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 87 registered maximum number of service users is 17.4, which has been reached with 35 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.
