Sadly my aunt died this month. She had been in Glais House for just over 5 years. During her time at Glais House she had wonderful, loving care. The staff are excellent, they are respectful and caring and extremely kind. A first-class home with the most wonderful staff. My aunt had 5 happy years there.
We, as a family, cannot thank the staff enough. I cannot find any faults with the home.

I am now resident in Glais House Nursing Home and find it very relaxing after a stay of three months in various hospitals.
I have my privacy and also company if and when I want it.
I have good friends visiting which I look forward to. I am unable to go out and about visiting or shopping - my walking

I visit a friend, who has been resident in Glais House for nearly a year. She has a beautiful large single room with ensuite facilities. She settled into the home very well, and is very happy there. She finds the staff very helpful, caring and friendly, and she highly rates the food. There is an activities
coordinator, who organises lots of activities and events, some of which family, and friends are invited to attend. The events are well attended by family and friends, including young children, and everyone is made to feel very welcome and catered for, as they provide lovely buffets and drinks for everyone. I have been visiting my friend for nearly a year now, and I have always found the staff to be friendly and caring. They all seem to be very happy in their jobs, and always seem to be smiling, They always seem to be working hard, in what can be very difficult situations.

My mother was very happy and told me that the staff there were lovely. They are always cheerful and can't do enough for the residents. There are lots of activities every week, and the family are invited to join in. We are made to feel very welcome. All the staff always appear happy and create a welcoming
atmosphere for family and friends. Seeing my mother so well cared for makes me feel happy.

Mum has been at Glais House for 14 months. The improvement in her health (mental and physical) is attributable to the professional and loving care of the staff (all of them). She now feels safe and secure. She is well loved, care is taken to ensure she gets outdoors whenever the weather permits. Following
a nasty fall, when mobility was badly affected, every staff member helped and encouraged Mum to work hard to regain her previous level of self-care and mobility. Miraculous! Full marks to all of you. She remains strong, determined and such a pleasure to visit. We feel blessed. Thank you.

My mum has been a resident for the past two years at Glais House Nursing Home. She is very happy here and the staff have all become like family to her (and myself). She is cared for so very well here. The home and gardens are beautiful. There are always activities and various functions going on, all
of which Mum thoroughly enjoys. I am so very glad that I chose Glais House Nursing Home for her because it stands heads above all the other care homes.

My father and I chose Glais House based on previous visits looking for a home for his late wife. He and I have not been disappointed as the standard of care has met all our expectations. When I visit Dad I check every time that he remains happy and looked after and he remains very happy with all aspects
of life at Glais House. I have witnessed interactions between Dad and staff and they have at all times been respectful, caring and supportive. He has been in the home since February 2021 and remains happy, content and comfortable.

The whole atmosphere is of friendliness and welcome. Staff are pleasant, courteous and helpful. The building, the gardens and public rooms are of a very high standard. Generally, an establishment which achieves exactly what it is meant to do in the care of the elderly.

I am very happy that Glais House made my mother and our family very welcome at the Jubille party in the grounds. The food was delicious and the atmosphere warm and inviting. The music and animals helped everyone to relax after Covid. The carers were attentive and kind to everyone, just as they always
are at Glais. We look forward to regular similar events in the future as this made my mother very happy.

After a fall my dad had been hospitalised for two months and then put in an interim placement at a care home - all by social services. During all this time he was classed as bed bound so for around five months never showered or moved from his bed. Within seven days of being at Glais House, he had been
showered and was sitting in an armchair - magical.

The staff treat my mother with respect and dignity. I cannot stress enough how kind and caring the staff are and that residents needs are paramount.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.887)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.887) out of 10 for Glais House Nursing 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 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.887 for Glais House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (338 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 380 Ratings = 4.887

  • 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 Glais House Nursing Home is based on 32 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 32 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.

Performance

Care Inspectorate Wales is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in Wales.

I have over 20 years of experience of working in Human resources. I have worked at Glais House for the past 11 years. I find the home to be exceptional in its care, as I had my own Mother here as a resident for a while. It has a very warm and cosy atmosphere with attentive and caring staff to look after the residents.
