Since my mother has been at Ty Eirin I have seen my mother becoming more herself. She is safe, clean, well-fed and clean and maintains her dignity. I always receive a welcome when visiting my mother. It gives me peace of mind that she is safe. I do think that there could be more that my mother could
do but I do understand that there are others to be seen to.

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

Many thanks for taking the time to write your review. It's great to read how well your mother is being cared for. I have spoken to the Home Manager who says the activities schedules have been revamped and there will be more activities in each environment within the Home.

I have been a resident of this home for nearly a year. The care of all the residents is very good and caring. The home is spotlessly clean, the only problem is the quality of the food.

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

Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. Thank you also for your feedback regarding the food at Ty Eirin. I have spoken to the home and established the reasons why you feel there is an issue with the quality. I appreciate everyone loves home cooking and that can't always be replicated in an environment where there are so many people to cook for but I have asked someone to speak to you to see what can be done.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother was a resident in Ty Eirin for nearly two years until she passed away two weeks ago. The care and love that all the staff gave her was unbelievable. This care was given right up until the end. She passed away with dignity.
Not only did they care about her but also me. We stayed for three
days and two nights with her and they all looked after us really well. I spent a lot of time in Ty Eirin with my mother and never once saw the carers shout or be nasty to any of the residents. You hear so much about care homes that I felt I needed to give them my praise. I will still be visiting as I feel that they are all part of my family.
I would recommend Ty Eirin to anybody that is looking for a care home for their loved ones.

Reply from Ronnie Cavanagh, Marketing at Ty Eirin Care Home

Thank you Ellen for your kind comments about our Care team. We appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback for Ty Eirin Care Home. We understand how upsetting it must have been, and are so pleased you felt that our team lived up to expectation and treated your Mother with dignity and the compassion she deserved during her time at our home. We hope that her time at Ty Eirin did see some friendships flourish with both the Care team and residents. Thank you again Ellen, if there is anything more we can do please do not hesitate to reach out.

I just wanted to record my thanks to all of the care team at Ty Eiren for the quality and way that they cared for and looked after my mum who passed away on 25th June. She lived at Ty Eiren for over 2 years and it was a wonderfully caring and supportive environment for both her and for our family, giving
us the assurance that she was in good care and being fantastically well looked after.
In challenging times, it is always worth shouting out loud about the great things that care staff do - day in day out and for what you did for my mum we will be forever grateful.
Many thanks and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ty Eiren to anyone who is faced with the difficult choice of where to place a loved one in need.

Reply from Ronnie Cavanagh, Marketing at Ty Eirin Care Home

Thank you, Greg, for your feedback and for taking the time to share your experience at Ty Eirin Care Home, we are so sorry to hear about your mum but pleased that you had all the support you needed at such a difficult time. We hope wonderful memories of your mum are helping you through your loss.

The care my father-in-law had received has been outstanding. I visit all times of the day. The rooms and surrounding areas are always clean. The carers are excellent - spending lots of time with residents. I really can't praise them enough. They are amazing. Although he is now very poorly - he is treated
with dignity at all times and that means so much to the family.

Reply from Ronnie Cavanagh, Marketing at Ty Eirin Care Home

I would like to express my thanks to your staff that covered more than their shift allocations this weekend looking after our elderly relatives. The snow was treacherous in our area - they gave up precious family time of their own to be with ours and I thank them for all they do.

Care homes have been having a very negative review in the press recently, however I have visited Ty Eirin three times a week for the past five years to see my father-in-law. he absolutely loves it there he loves the staff, the food, the are and his room. All I can say is if he is happy then I am happy.

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.
