One member of staff has been incredible from my first call enquiring. Another staff member equally so since my first visit. Collectively the home is exceptional. Their paperwork, attention to detail, care & compassion, efficiency and competence is unmatched. I have no doubts that there is no where better
for my Mum to be with her complex needs. This is the best nursing home I've ever been inside or been involved with.


Multiple paramedics and doctors who have visited my mum when needed have all commented the same. They've never seen notes like them, care like it, competence like it. This home is exceptional.

Mum has only been at Pentwyn for a short period of time, however, from the very first conversation my wife and I had with the management team, we knew that Mum was going to receive a high level of care and support from them. Upon entering its' doors, Mum and the family received the warmest and sincerest
of welcomes. The atmosphere inside is bright, very clean, positive and fun! The staffing team, without exception, deliver the highest level of care to the residents and there is always an activity taking place. Our initial concerns about Mum going into a care home have been more than alleviated and Mum is very happy, safe and extremely comfortable. As a family, we now know that she could not receive better care anywhere else. Pentwyn Nursing Home is run by a very experienced and dedicated management team and this is evident as the staff are hard working and very happy in their roles and they have far exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Pentwyn House.

Since my mother-in-law moved into Pentwyn House Nursing Home she has absolutely thrived. The care team are amazing. They made her feel very welcome and she's settled in lovely. There's always activities going on. It was a very difficult decision to put her into a care home but the fact that she's so
happy is a testament in itself. We couldn't have picked a better care home for her.

From the day mum moved in, she received first class care and attention by all the members of staff. In the 5 weeks that she was being cared for, my sister and I were kept updated and involved in every decision. Our mother's death was handled with treat sensitivity and compassion. We could not have wished
for a better experience from a Care Home.

Pentwyn House is a first-class nursing home which I would highly recommend! The level of care is outstanding where all the staff members and management treat all residents as if they are part of their own family. You will always have a very warm welcome from everyone and if there are any concerns you
have, your mind is always put to rest straight away. The food is of excellent quality with lots of choice. The whole nursing home is kept immaculate with clean bedding every single day. My Nan is always kept spotless. Activities and entertainment every day which are outstanding, especially the zoo day where all residents take part in holding the animals. Family pets are always welcome too. You will have no concerns at all leaving your loved ones here, it's excellent.

Pentwyn House Nursing Home is so much more than a care home, it's a home that cares, my father had been cared for at home previously. The family at Pentwyn took him into their care and became an extension of our family, they treated Dad with love and respect. this was evident from the top down 24/7.
He was stimulated, never patronised, I can not speak highly enough.

My mother has been a resident at Pentwyn House for a few months and has settled in well. The staff are caring and compassionate and always attentive to her needs. All the staff are welcoming and always smiling and this has a positive effect on all the residents. The Management Team have been so supportive
to us as a family in what has been a difficult time and continue to help us when we need it. The home is always spotless and welcoming.

Facing up to the fact that your dad has to go into a care home is one of the most awful things I have ever had to do but the staff at Pentwyn House have been absolutely amazing. His treatment is first class and he has settled in and loves it there, it has been such a relief to know he is being so well
taken care of and he even joins in some of the activities which Is something I never thought he would do. There isn't anything that is too much trouble for the staff. I would highly recommend.

Since Dad's been at Pentwyn, he seems happy and is regaining the weight he'd lost while in hospital. Dad seems to get on well with staff and most residents. it was terrible to have to make the choice to find a care home for Dad (he never wanted that) but we have been relieved with the way Pentwyn has
worked out so far.

Mum moved into the nursing home in April 2022 and has always said that she is happy and well cared for. She often says how nice the staff are and enjoys the food. She participates in lots of activities organised by the staff. She does mention it can be noisy at night but perhaps this is just the staff
clocking in on her. From my own perspective, I am very happy with the home and especially the staff who are so friendly. I would not want mum moved elsewhere.

My mother has been a resident at Pentwyn for more than 2 years. The level of care she receives is outstanding. All of the staff are so friendly and accommodating with mum's needs. She is always treated with utmost respect and dignity. The communication from the home is excellent I am kept well informed
if there are any changes regarding mum. I am comfortable in the knowledge that mum is in safe hands.

Dad moved into Pentwyn after a six-week stay in the hospital. As a family we were nervous but after one visit any fears were totally alleviated as the managers and team excelled in every facet of elderly care and family liaison. Caring, empathetic, professional and a total feeling of safety and comfort
was provided for my father. We as a family were greatly comforted by the staff of Pentwyn and we recommend Pentwyn to anyone.

My auntie resides in Pentwyn House. I honestly could not wish for a better environment for her.
She is well looked after by everyone, a particular staff member and the team are exceptional at their jobs. I sleep at night knowing she is cared and loved for.
It is always spotless and never any rubbish
anywhere. A well-kept ship as my auntie used to say. Thanks to all staff.

I would highly recommend Pentwyn House to anyone I know from our experience so far with our mother. The management and staff are excellent at their jobs and are very friendly, caring and professional in all they do. Any issues are dealt with straight away where possible. Mum appears happy most of the
time (her illness sometimes means she's not) and is always clean and her clothes and room are kept spotless as is the rest of the home. Activities are good and her overall care is excellent! 100% recommend it!

My mum has been a resident at the home for almost two years and has complex care needs. The level of care and attention she has received has been outstanding, with every member of the team exhibiting genuine concern and kindness towards her.
Mum is very comfortable there and our family are comforted
in knowing that she is being extremely well looked after.
The facility itself is well-maintained and offers a welcoming atmosphere. The variety of choice and quality of food seems very good.
Our family are extremely grateful for the outstanding care Mum has received at Pentwyn House. I highly recommend this facility to anyone seeking a caring and supportive environment for their loved ones.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.891)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.891) out of 10 for Pentwyn 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.891 for Pentwyn House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (224 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 248 Ratings = 4.891

  • 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 Pentwyn House Nursing Home is based on 21 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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6, which has been reached with 21 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.
