Overall Experience

Lovely, well-kept home with a friendly feeling. The staff are excellent with residents, nothing is too much trouble, always see smiling faces, more like a youth club, with activities for able-bodied, arts and crafts, doing jigsaws, loads of things to keep the residents occupied and entertainment brought

in from outside, singers and various other entertainment. Always a positive atmosphere in the home. I have never seen anyone unhappy. When my time comes and I, myself, need caring for, I hope it's in a home just like Barchester Awel-Y-Mor Care Home. Excellent all round care with outstanding staff, excellent.

Overall Experience

Wow! What an amazing, homely atmosphere, very high standard of cleanliness, residents were all treated like family. Didn't feel like a care home, felt like a family home, just bigger. Would highly recommend to anyone who has to place family/friends in this setting, who has to make this decision. Staff

treat residents with kindness, respect and dignity, very impressed.

Overall Experience

My experience when visiting the home has always been a very positive one. The staff are always very friendly and sociable. I've always felt a good vibe from all members of staff. My father was the first person whom I visited at this home, and he sadly passed away there. I now visit a very good friend

of mine there, and I can see how much he has improved since being there. The home is always immaculate and comfortable. My friend always tells me how he loves the food and is happy there.

Overall Experience

I visit one of your residents most weeks and have always felt welcome and thoroughly enjoy the refreshments provided!
I have experience of visiting other people in nursing and residential homes and without doubt, Barchester Awel-Y-Mor Care Home is, by far, the best. The indoor and outdoor facilities

are most impressive with the gym and physio provisions are, in my opinion, beneficial to the health and well-being (both physical and mental) of residents. I'm also impressed by the variety of activities provided.

Overall Experience

My mother has been in this care home since June 2021. The staff are very kind to her and treat her with respect and dignity. Due to the fact that my mother is almost bedbound and does not like being hoisted and put into a wheelchair as she finds the process painful. Consequently, she does not participate

in the in-house activities. The room is light and well-furnished and generally kept clean. The quality of the food that my mother (vegetarian) eats in her room is, in my opinion, poor. Her daily menu consists of breakfast - tea and toast, lunch - a baked potato with a filling and supper - a sandwich. I did, on one occasion, take the baked potato lunch my mother had been served back to reception as it looked as if it was two days old. There is a distinct lack of variety in her diet and little or no fresh fruit.

I am sorry to hear this, please come and discuss any issues with me on your next visit. I will also get the chef involved to chat with you. Please feel free to come and chat with me at any time, so that any problems can be resolved immediately.

An outstanding team (all staff) led by a very approachable and immensely supportive manager whose experience and ability to react instantly are impressive. The care afforded to my husband continues to excel and I only have to ask and I see a medic straight away. Clearly, communication is the key and

teamwork. These are evident. I continue to be very pleased to have entrusted my husband to Awel-Y-Mor Care Home.

The management of the home is reflected in the high standard of individual nursing care provided. The carers go the extra mile to ensure that patient's needs are met. Nurses and carers are supported by an effective physical therapy dept. The home is maintained to a very high standard, this enhances

the patient's comfort. Many varied activities are offered in an inclusive manner to help stimulate and encourage patents. The dietary needs are met with flexibility and patience. The variety of foods offered provides for all tasks. This a happy ship.
