I'm happy with the care my Nan is receiving, she seems happy in the care home and likes the carers around her. Always lots of activities going on for the residents to take part in and a different variety of foods throughout the week for them to eat.

Ty Penrhos stood out when I was looking for a place for my mum. She has been a resident since Sept 2023 and it proved to be the best place for her. The staff show care and kindness and understand her frustrations due to her Alzheimer's. The whole place is always clean and has a pleasant calm atmosphere.
When she moved from residential to nursing the staff went out of their way to make it as easy as possible. They arrange lots of activities which the residents all seem to enjoy. I can't praise them enough.

Reply from Karen Davis, Manager at Ty Penrhos Care Home

Thank you for your kind words and I'm glad your mum has settled well and enjoys all the activities.

My wife has been at the care home for 18 months. We were concerned that she wouldn't settle in, as she can sometimes struggle in social situations, but she has. She seems to be happy and the staff look after her well. She enjoys being in the lounge with the other residents so she can see what's going
on. She seems to be very content at the moment and we hope it continues.

Visiting Mountain View, the unit seemed calm and peaceful and all the staff were friendly and busy doing various tasks. One lady in particular, always goes out of her way to say hello and chat. Which is lovely when visiting. It makes you feel like a friend is caring for your family member.
Another
lady also made a concerted effort to say hello and chat. She spoke passionately about the morning's activity session and a recent course she had been on. It was lovely to hear someone speak so positively about their role.
I also experienced her interacting with other residents, she showed great care and consideration even though I could see she was extremely busy. The smallest thing which really left an impression was that she made a point of sitting in a different spot so all residents could chat and see her.
Mountain View has always been a lovely community. The unit felt full of love and care, and it was a pleasure to visit.

Reply from Karen Davis, Manager at Ty Penrhos Care Home

Thank you for your kind review, The staff work really hard and get pleasure from seeing the residents they care for be content and happy. I will let all the staff know of your kind words, which I know will make them feel elated. Many thanks.

My mother has been in this care home since August 2023. She has received very good care. She has been prescribed medication which has had a positive effect. I always feel welcome at the home and able to express any concerns to management. I do feel staff are under pressure and this is sometimes evident.

Amazing facility, staff are exceedingly friendly and helpful. Mum has settled in here so well, nothing is too much trouble for these guys. Mum is happy, well cared for and happy. I would recommend Ty Penrhos and Daffodil Ward to anyone. The Manager and the team are amazing with mum and with ourselves.

Dad is well cared for in Ty Penrhos Care Home by caring staff.
The quality of food however is a concern. Dad is not receiving a balanced diet. Fruit and vegetables do not appear to be a consideration in the meal planning.

Reply from Karen Davis, Manager at Ty Penrhos Care Home

Thank you for placing your review on Carehome Wales. It is very pleasing to know that you are happy with the care your loved one is receiving. I will take on board what you have said about the menu and will have a chat with the chef to see how we can rectify this.

Overall, satisfied and the staff are very friendly and helpful. However, food needs an urgent review e.g. a lack of fruit and vegetables and/or choice of meals. Meals are often repeated and do not look appetising e.g. mashed potatoes covered in tinned tomatoes (tea).

I visit my friend on Mountain View regularly and the staff are always kind and welcoming. He is being cared for so well and looks really happy. He looked so poorly before coming into the home and I never thought he would ever look this good again. He has even started speaking to the staff, that shows
he feels comfortable with them.

My wife has been a resident at Ty Penrhos since June of last year on Daffodil Rise. She is happy and well looked after by all the staff who are excellent. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they treat my wife as if she were a member of their family, for which I am extremely grateful.

When I couldn't manage to look after my husband, who suffered from Alzheimer's/dementia/cancer, I was advised by the hospital, where he was admitted for respite, that he had deteriorated and I wouldn't be able to cope. I started looking for nursing homes, which I dreaded. I was asked to travel to Splott,
which I was not prepared to do. However, I was offered a place in Ty Penrhos Care Home, which I accepted at once as a friend of the family had firsthand experience, as her father had been cared for there. Also, all my family live in Caerphilly and the surrounding area. We were both treated like their own family. I was really happy and my husband settled in very well and I could see he would be happy too.

I am writing on behalf of my husband who is a fairly new resident at this care home. I have found the staff most helpful and polite. He is well cared for and always looks clean and tidy. He enjoys the food (the breakfast is his favourite). His room feels cosy and warm with a few of his own pictures
and TV. After visiting him, I come away knowing he is well looked after, which gives me great peace of mind.

Very impressed with the level of care my grandfather has received so far. This one-to-one carer is fantastic, and my grandfather clearly enjoys his company. Lots of activities - it's great to see photos of the residents taking part in these. Clean home, spacious rooms, excellent staff - couldn't ask
for more. Having worked in ASC myself previously, I know how hard it can be to find the right care provider, so I'm very impressed with Ty Penrhos so far!

Good activities and interaction with residents in the home. The home is always clean and welcoming, the staff are always polite and friendly, and nothing is too much trouble for them, and we, as a family, are always kept up to date on visits and by phone calls. My father has one-to-one care during the
day; we are very happy with the care and safety this provides him with. My dad interacts and responds well with his carer; he is calmed by him when he gets agitated and loves his daily games of dominos. Dad appears happy, well cared for and well-fed.

Whilst having difficulty visiting my father due to Covid restrictions, I was always able to talk to a member of staff regarding his health. I have found all the staff in Caerphilly Unit to be very caring, kind and supportive. Now I am able to visit whenever I want, I have always found my father to be
clean, shaven and safe.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.704)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.704) out of 10 for Ty Penrhos 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 8 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 4.422 for Ty Penrhos Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (63 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 116 Ratings = 4.422

  • 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 4.282 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ty Penrhos Care Home is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 83 registered maximum number of service users is 16.6. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.6 = 0.482

  • 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.
