Overall I am very satisfied with the care my mother is receiving I have sometimes noticed lack of communication due to staff changing so much. The laundry service leaves much to be desired- My mums clothes etc- are all labelled with embroidered name tags that are very securely sewn on- yet the clothes
seem to get lost and often other peoples clothes are in her wardrobe- also my mams hearing aids have gone through the wash twice- as pockets are not checked! Also clothes are not sorted before being washed. Most of my mothers "white" underwear is now dirty grey and some missing.

My uncle has settled in very well and the staff have welcomed him from the start. Staff go above and beyond in their job roles.
They work really hard providing activities for the residents and always get them involved if the residents choose to do so.

My mum was moved here from another home, well I'm so happy because I see my mum so much happier, she loves it here. The staff go above and beyond for the residents nothing is too much for them, there is a lovely garden, and lots of activities, and the rooms are beautiful with en suite toilets. I love
the fact that they hold meetings every few months just to keep up to date with the family. When I take my mum out, after a couple of hours she asks to go back, so that to me means she feels safe and it's her safe space, cannot fault this home.

My husband is not an easy man because of his dementia. Plas Cwm has managed him and his condition very well, he is always clean and tidy and has been offered food even if he will not eat it. His dementia can make him very challenging but he has received nothing but kindness at this home.

My wife moved to Plas Cwm from another care home about a fortnight ago. The previous staff and home were very good but I feel much happier in this establishment. The staff are very obliging and there is a homely feeling at the home. The security is so good.

We moved my mother-in-law here last July 2023. The care she receives here is amazing, nothing is too much problem, the staff cannot do enough for my mother-in-law even though, due to her condition, she is hard to look after.

Mum and I would love to thank all the staff at Plas Cwm Carw for all the care and support they have provided and continue to provide for my auntie, she is safe and doing very well as she was quite poorly this year and the staff were very informative and got her seen straight away by the hospital resulting
in her now being well again. Can't thank them enough for the care and support which is always given.
The moving around was a worrying time but it all went very smoothly and my auntie took to it very well. My concerns were treated with respect and I was listened to. The staff have been very supportive, all the way through.
We are coming to the end of another year and the staff throughout these difficult times have been very busy, but always put residents' priority first.
I would like to wish all staff a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to come.
Thank you so much for your ongoing support and for looking after my beautiful auntie.

From July to September 2023 my mum was a resident there. Overall the care she received was very poor, staff not trained to deal with elderly mentally infirm residents.
Very poor hygiene, staff never interact with residents, just park them in front of the TV. Maintenance in the home was very poor, overall
a shocking experience for my mum and the family.

Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Plas Cwm Carw Care Home

My dad is regularly left alone in his room, sometimes bed sheets open with no dignity, catheter full and I've asked for it to be emptied. Carers are very busy and I appreciate all they do for my dad, just a little more care and attention would be wonderful.

Reply from Diane Kerwin, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Plas Cwm Carw Care Home

Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. We are deeply sorry that when you have come to spend time with your father you found things were not of an acceptable standard. Your father’s dignity should always be respected; he should be covered appropriately, and his catheter bag regularly emptied. We are working hard here at Plas Cwm Carw to ensure we provide an excellent standard of care for the residents who live in our home and that their families are reassured of this. We have shared this with the team and the Home Manager will ensure this is monitored. The Home Manager operates an open-door policy and would welcome your speaking with her at any time.

Overall experience over the last couple of years is generally very good.
A lot of new staff, which I have got to get used to, but all in all everybody is very polite and caring. The only time I have a problem is when I ring the home a few times in one day, even if I get through, nobody in the office
picks up. It's not a new problem. I realise they're busy, but is very frustrating.

My mum came to Plas Cwm Care Home four months ago for her end of life care. From the very first visit until she passed away on 22/10/2022 everyone has been amazing, there were all angels who looked after my mum like a member of their own family. Day staff, management and night staff, everyone was incredible.
I only wish my mum had had the opportunity to be involved in all the amazing events they have there, simply amazing staff and I can't ever repay how incredible everyone was.

My mum was a resident for palliative care for roughly 3 months. All staff were so caring and supportive to her and also to the family. Nothing was too much trouble. Her final journey was so respectful and dignified. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did for her.

Mum went in as an emergency respite and was welcomed with open arms. Access to her is very good and privacy always provided. Mum always looks clean and tidy and there have been no physical changes. She eats well and I am told she involves herself in all activities, music and dancing being particular
favourites in the wide variety provided. As an only son, with my dad (Mum's carer) in hospital for a lengthy period, it has been comforting knowing Mum is being very well cared for.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.398)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.398) out of 10 for Plas Cwm Carw Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.398 for Plas Cwm Carw Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (115 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.398

  • 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 Plas Cwm Carw Care Home is based on 15 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 15 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.
