Overall Experience

I cannot thank the staff at Ael-y-Bryn enough. My mum has recently had to move into residential care which hasn't been an easy decision. However the staff made the transition so smooth and as stress free as possible. The manager is so friendly and approachable and always willing to listen to any anxieties

I had when mum moved to Ael-y-Bryn.
The activities coordinator who organises the entertainment is absolutely amazing - she brightens up my mums day and I'm so grateful for everything she does. With regards to the carers - they go above and beyond! They know my mum so well and treat her with respect and maintain her dignity at all times! All so kind and approachable and I know my mum on times can be very demanding. They have so much patience and I'm so so appreciative of each and everyone of them. Thank you all!

Reply from Andrew Williams, Home Manager at Ael-y-Bryn Care Home

My grandmother was in this care home for over a year, and it's by far the best care home. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming, always there checking in on us. The care they gave my grandmother was absolutely outstanding. I highly recommend this care home; you will not be disappointed. Thank

you Ael-y-Bryn, for all your hard work.

Overall Experience

My mother is very well looked after at Ael-y-Bryn. The team make a real effort to get to know each resident as an individual and treat them as such, remembering the small details such as how they like their cup of tea and where they like to sit. Any changes are noticed and acted on quickly so that the

level of care is always exactly what the resident needs at that time. Mum's recent recovery from a serious illness must be due in part to the prompt actions of the care home team. For me, however, the biggest point of difference is the sense of family at Ael-y-Bryn, not just for Mum but for us, her true family as well. Mum is treated with real affection and warmth by the whole team and as her daughter, I am always made to feel welcome at the home and that I'm a part of her daily life and ongoing care. I'm kept up to date with Mum's wellbeing and immediately told of any health concerns and included in any decisions to do with her care. All in all, Mum is happy and content at Ael-y-Bryn.

Reply from Andrew Williams, Home Manager at Ael-y-Bryn Care Home

We take great pride in creating a family atmosphere not only for our residents but our families and staff team as well. It is fantastic to see you coming along and getting involved in our activities and entertainment events. Thank you for your kind words and ongoing support, will mean a lot to the whole team.

Overall Experience

Since my sister has been in the Ael-y-Bryn Care Home she has improved beyond my expectations. She has become more aware of everything more than I could have hoped. She's now more talkative and her health has improved beyond anything I could have wished for. The staff have been exemplary, caring and

look after everyone there. Her birthday was celebrated 2 weeks ago and the staff even provided a birthday cake for her and had candles on it as well. I cannot find the words of how grateful I am for the care she is receiving. Thank you everyone.

Reply from Andrew Williams, Home Manager at Ael-y-Bryn Care Home

We had a great time celebrating your lovely sisters birthday and most importantly so did she. It really is our pleasure to care for and support her at Ael-y-bryn.

The staff are very friendly and welcoming, they always have time to engage with my dad and whether it's a small conversation to a full-blown sit-down and chat - I know they are willing to spend that time genuinely listening to him and his tales. Living away from Swansea I feel comforted in the knowledge

that my dad is safe in their hands. Also, they are quick to contact me should any issue arise with my dad.
Thank you for all your hard work - you don't get enough credit in my eyes.

Overall Experience

My aunt is receiving excellent care at Ael Y Bryn. The home provides a wide range of activities to keep the residents engaged. This includes singers, choirs and local primary schools visiting the home. As well as the in-house therapist who herself keeps the resides occupied. My aunt greatly enjoys all

of these which keeps her mind active.
She can be picky with her food but there is always a range of food for them to choose from.
The staff are always quick to react to any medical matters that arise which did happen to my aunt in recent months. The issue was identified and was acted upon promptly to resolve the matter.

Reply from Andrew Williams, Home Manager at Ael-y-Bryn Care Home

Overall Experience

I am over the moon and back with the care my mum receives and as a family, have been happy for the 2 whole years she's been in Ael-y-Bryn.
We are all cared for (our family included) by everyone. When we met originally with the management team who came to assess Mammy 2 years ago, we were told when

you decided for her to come and live at Ael-y-Bryn, as well as Mammy, you will also be classed and welcomed as our family. They weren't wrong, on every visit (we go on a daily basis) we are treated with love and every member of staff is welcoming and interested in us as her daughters,
We have an amazing relationship with every member of staff, they fill each day with happiness and love. We will forever be grateful and will love you and hold you in our hearts forever. Ael-y-Bryn!

Reply from Andrew Williams, Home Manager AYB at Ael-y-Bryn Care Home

Nothing is too much trouble for management who are always happy to help in any way they can. The food is amazing with a wide choice of variety. There is

Thank you so much to all the wonderful staff who cared for my parent's during their time at Ael-y-Bryn.
Although Mam's stay was very brief I know she enjoyed every minute. The staff were brilliant with her.
When the manager first assessed Dad to decide whether he would be suitable Dad liked him straight

away. He enjoyed his chats until the decline in his health led to him needing nursing care.
A massive thank you goes out to the manager and his team for allowing a husband and wife to spend what was to become their last time together.
Precious memories.

My mother-in-law required 24 hour care nearly 2 years ago and I feel my wife made the right decision in choosing Ael-y-Bryn to provide this care. Her mind is at rest knowing she is so well cared for on a daily basis, we as a family rest easy knowing she is loved and cared for by all the staff, they

truly are a good team.

Overall Experience

Have a great relationship with all my mother-in-law's care providers. I tend to visit at all times of the day, and there is always a warm welcome. Ael-y-Bryn is always clean as is Mum's room. We viewed many homes before choosing Arl-y-Bryn. It's a small and homely home. All care providers know your

name as you enter. And the residents have food most of the day. My mum enjoys the activities, especially the singing. There seems to be something going on daily. I'm not saying, I've never had a problem. What it was, was minor, and the Manager dealt with it. But like I say it was minor and had nothing to do with Mum's care. We are very happy with Ael-Y-Bryn, and would have no hesitation in recommending it, to anyone looking for a family-type home for relatives or friends.

My mother moved into Ael-y-Bryn in the summer of 2019 due to her dementia. Over the past 5 years she has received the best of care from dedicated and caring members of staff and has been treated with dignity and respect, giving me and close members of my family peace of mind. My mother has recently

had to move to a nursing home as her dementia has deteriorated and I must say we shall miss Ael-y-Bryn, its homely atmosphere and its hard-working members of staff.
