Dad moved to Ty Llandaff after a long stay in hospital in March 2020, a week before covid hit. For the last two years I can't fault the care at Ty Llandaff given the circumstances, the food was always excellent, the staff attentive and the place was always clean. Dad made some real friends amongst the
staff and residents.

Thank you for your lovely comments, this will be passed onto the team. Your Dad is dearly missed by us all. Thank you from Ty Llandaff Team.

Mum moved to Ty Llandaff from another care home as we felt that she was being neglected and the manager refused to listen to our concerns. Since being in Ty Llandaff, we have appreciated and witnessed the excellent level of care that she is receiving now and the difference it has made to her wellbeing.
We have been moved by the understanding and the knowledge the care home have about Parkinson’s disease and as a result, they have addressed her individual needs. We really do appreciate when they go beyond the call of duty, such as, platting her hair and presenting puréed food in an attractive, appetising way (piping lovely patterns on the plate). The reception team have been great. They are most helpful and cheerful when we contact or visit the home.
More recently, we have found the current management team very approachable and understanding. We are so glad that we moved our mother to T? Llandaff.

Since my grandmother moved into Ty Llandaff in August 2018 the carers and staff have treated her with dignity, compassion and as an individual. I have enjoyed dining here with my grandmother. The food here is second to none. The communication between the home and relatives has certainly improved since
the employment of a family liaison officer. The new visitors' room and easy booking system have made such a difference to our family. Thank you Ty Llandaff for being so welcoming, always.

The staff are extremely attentive to the residents they never seem to be kept waiting at all - very patient and sincere. It feels more like a hotel than a care home. Warm and welcoming whenever I visit. My father is extremely happy here and is encouraged to participate with all the goings-on! He's a
new man since arriving here - talking better and a more upbeat approach to his life.

It was a pleasure to look after your dad. We all hope to see you again.

My father lived here for 13 months until he passed away in January. He initially only went to the home on two weeks respite but within that time asked his family if it would be possible to stay.
I believe this was one of the best years of my father's life.
The staff were excellent they treated him
with respect and dignity and made his time here very special.
The residents and their visitors also played a big part in my fathers well being as they were always friendly and supportive. This Care Home is like no other and has a friendly atmosphere more like a real family home.
I would highly recommend this home to anyone.

My mother stayed at Ty Llandaff Care Home for respite after a hip replacement. The staff were so friendly and supportive treating mum with dignity and respect. Her room was spotlessly clean and spacious with a large on suite wet room. Mum really enjoyed the food which was of very high quality. Although
normally shy, by the end of her stay she was taking part in activities. She made such good progress at Ty Llandaff and I would happily recommend this home.

Ty Llandaff is a care home of the highest standard. From its decor, fine foods and variety of activities, plus its high quality of care to all residents. The staff are well trained in all aspects of care work, and the relaxed atmosphere of the building is well recognised by residents, visitors and healthcare
workers alike. I have spent twelve very happy weeks here, recovering from two operations on my leg. Personally, I would recommend Ty Llandaff to anyone needing recovery and respite, without doubt, its reputation is spreading rapidly in the Cardiff area.

I went into Ty Llandaff feeling very weak and very low in spirit following a heart attack. The week in Ty Llandaff improved my appetite, built up my strength and improved my self-confidence. I am now coping quite well at home as I am on my own. The prospect was quite daunting before, but I am now managing
thanks to Ty Llandaff.

After a hip operation I was taken to this care home. This was a complete surprise and certainly all the staff made me feel very welcome, making me feel much better after my stay.


Personally, I cannot fault the care and attention I received from everyone I met including physio. It felt more like

What can I say about this place! If you want the perfect place for an elderly relative then there is absolutely no other option to be considered in Cardiff.


Both of my parents are at this home and after a very stressful week trying to get straight answers from social services and other care homes,

I finally spoke to the home manager and in a 5-minute phone call, the weight of the world was lifted and both my parents had somewhere to go and to not just a home in name, it is home!


The staff here are out of this world, nothing is a hassle, they are there to help the residents but also they help support the family around their residents, something you do not get anywhere else.


If you are still unsure, just turn up and visit here, you will see I am not overstating facts at all and this place is how every care home should be run, staffed, managed and how all residents in a care home anywhere in the UK should be treated.....

I arrived from Llandoch. At Ty Llandaff, I experienced excellent care throughout. The food and kitchen staff have all been friendly and accommodating, as were the others including events, nursing, laundry cleaning etc. The atmosphere is calm when necessary and happy during games time etc. I am leaving
feeling happy and rested. The food is of a high quality and served attractively. There is a good variety and having asked for vegetarian options in meals, I had good variety attractively served. I go home happy.

Attended Ty Llandaff in response to my request for a package - left hospital after right hip replacement - the building was in superb condition. The food is excellent, cleanliness top notch. Laundry facilities provided (clothes labelled) every member of staff I came across treated me with respect and
kindness. I felt this was a good way to assist my rehabilitation - I cannot express my thanks in any other way.

I would like to say that I have never seen or had experience of a place such as this. In a few words, the staff and management are totally there 100% for the guests. They treat them with total respect and loyalty to them. My wife had a cry and told me that everybody is so kind and understanding. The
accommodation is on a par with the best hotels. They look after the physical and mental wellbeing of every resident or guest as they like to refer to them. I could go on and on and on. They are so good.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.945)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.945) out of 10 for Ty Llandaff Care 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 58 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 58 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 4.945 for Ty Llandaff Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (640 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 676 Ratings = 4.945

  • 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 Ty Llandaff Care Home is based on 58 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 58 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.
