An excellent care home with person-centred care.
All staff are attentive, approachable, compassionate and respectful.
My Auntie has been at the Nursing Home for many years. The staff have always gone above and beyond to attend her needs including supporting her with appointments, etc.
She is well
cared for and always presented immaculately. Any issues that arise are resolved promptly.
I cannot prise enough how hard everyone at the care home works!

I can't praise Ty Gwynno enough for the love and care they show my nan. The staff aren't just professional- they're truly compassionate and treat every resident like family. It gives us peace of mind knowing she's not only well looked after but genuinely cherished. One of the most beautiful things about
the home is that they grant each resident a wish. My nan's wish was to see the sea one more time and that dream came true recently. She didn't stop smiling all day and some staff even came in on their day off to help make it happen. That kind of dedication is rare and speaks volumes about the people working there. The home is always buzzing with activities, from Welsh lessons to summer and Christmas fayres, raffles and even a Valentine's Ball coming up. They've even helped my nan pick out an outfit for the ball. These thoughtful touches make all the difference. Ty Gwynno truly goes above and beyond. It's the best care home I've ever known, and we're beyond grateful for everything they do.

Reply from Clare Mould, Executive Administrator to the Board of Directors at Ty Gwynno Care Home

Thank you for your such a lovely review of Ty Gwynno Care Home! We really do have a fantastic team at Ty Gwynno Care Home and they do all love your Nan! They work incredibly hard to provide the best care possible and to provide lots of fun activities, events and outings for their residents - it's heart-warming to hear that your Nan had such a good time visiting the seaside.

My mum-in-law was sent to Ty Gwynno after it became obvious her old care home was not coping and she was bored and lonely. What a difference in Ty Gwynno. Loads of interactions, events, stimulus, outings, staff, and no longer stuck in a lonely room. In her old care home she had 9 falls and 4 hospital
visits as there was nobody to keep a close eye on her. She has been in Ty Gwynno for months now with no falls! Always staff to assist and plenty of company and a whole range of activities. As a result she is far more stimulated and settled and does not seem lonely. Excellent place!

Ty Gwynno in my opinion is the best, with such caring, wonderful staff. My husband has been there for four years and during that time we have both been treated like family members. The staff, whether cleaners, kitchen staff, maintenance staff, carers or laundry staff, or of course the entertainment
staff, are wonderful and go over and above to make the residents and their family comfortable and happy. The home is always upgrading and adding new features for the residents. A cinema room for residents to watch their favourite films. In the better weather there is a beautiful garden, where we have sat in the sunshine many times. Nothing is too much trouble for the residents and I personally don't think you will find a better home.

I live in Australia with my wife, who is the sister of one of your residents. I was back in Wales in August last year and visited my sister-in-law on several occasions. I always found the staff to be excellent and very caring of the residents. There is always something going on at Ty Gwynno and that
makes it so interesting and stimulating for the residents. For my wife and me living so far away from my sister-in-law, it is so reassuring to know that she is so well cared for. Well done Ty Gwynno!

Mum has happily resided in the residential unit of Ty Gwynno for the past two and a half years. Care has always been first class, and staff really do feel like family. Nothing is ever too much trouble and all staff, not just the caring team, the cleaners, laundry, activities, catering, admin and fabulous
maintenance guys have all contributed to making Mum's life a happy one. Unfortunately, Mum's circumstances have recently changed, and she needed to relocate to the nursing care unit following long stay in hospital. Once again Ty Gwynno have excelled, and on Christmas eve, when Mum was due to be discharged back to the home, the ambulance was cancelled. Determined to get her home, they decided to use their transport and go pick her up, despite it being a very busy day for them. They worked wonders in moving her personal items into a new bedroom downstairs, with only 24-hour notice. I know Mum will continue to get the very best of everything at Ty Gwynno, we thank you all so much.

The staff at Ty Gwynno are first class. There are always many carers on hand to attend to the needs of their residents; they are always very patient and always keen to make sure everyone is happy and comfortable and address everyone by their name. They ensure their residents are kept well-hydrated throughout
the day and that they are well-fed. The carers pay close attention to residents' personal hygiene and everyone is always kept immaculate. The home itself is light and airy with plenty of quiet areas for residents and families to sit and chat and a pleasant outdoor sitting area. Residents are given the opportunity to join in social events and local performers are invited to entertain them. Cleaners are always on hand ensuring the Home is hygienic and tidy. The Home has its own maintenance team, keeping everything in good working order. Security at Ty Gwynno is excellent. No-one can leave or enter without the required procedure, and senior management are always on hand.

Ty Gwynno is a caring home with friendly staff that go beyond their duty and care. My brother has been there since January this year as he has Dementia and always lived on his own, he is a very vulnerable person. He always says he wants to come home, the staff say 'You want to stay with us' and are

It was clean and I loved how the staff interacted with everyone. Even now me being back home in Australia whenever I ring
they make sure he gets that call even if he is having a bad day. I am not nervous anymore he is having the best time meeting people and doing everyday activities. I would like to thank every one of you for looking after dad and giving me peace of mind.

Hello you lovely people, yet again I was very impressed on my last visit to see my wonderful mum-in-law. More improvements again, lovely to see the flowers that have been painted on the glass upstairs, and as usual very clean and airy. Staff and residents are very friendly and happy, just like an extended
family, makes you feel at home. I look forward to visiting, so relaxed and comfortable. Updated signing-in system is digital, far better than signing a book. So you see not only the residents and visitors are their priority, security is high on the agenda. Well done to you all, it’s been a pleasure. I will rate you A** because you deserve it.

I can’t imagine anywhere better where my father could be. The carers are fantastic, especially the seniors, and he loves the food! I count us both as very lucky, as I knew nothing about care homes before having to make the big decision that my parents weren’t able to continue living at home 2.5 years
ago. The fact that I live a long way from home means it’s that much more important to know dad’s well looked after.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.933)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.933) out of 10 for Ty Gwynno 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 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.933 for Ty Gwynno Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (335 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 357 Ratings = 4.933

  • 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 Gwynno Care Home is based on 30 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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2, which has been reached with 30 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.
