Ysgurborwen is a lovely home, the staff all work do hard and nothing is too much trouble. All the staff treat the residents and their families with the utmost respect,the home is immaculate, bright and airy and there is always lots of activities for the residents to do. The garden area is beautiful, and the staff are all angels. The care they provide for my mother is superb, and every time I visit I can see that my mother interacts and enjoys the staff company. The staff are always approachable and they keep the family informed of any changes at all times . An absolutely remarkable home. Well done and thank you for the love, support and care you provide to my mother xx

The home is it set in beautiful grounds with wonderful views, but what makes this place so special is the staff. They all know the residents and treat them with respect and kindness- the care is excellent.

My mother had been in hospital for just under 12 months due to a bad experience(s) at an earlier care home. Within 24 hours she was sitting in a chair, for the first time in many months, like a meerkat people watching and all that was going on around her. When I visited on her fourth day there she was painting. Not to Picasso standard, but with a look of intense concentration that I haven't seen since before her first stroke. Her gummy smiles are a joy to see, the home have arranged for the community dentist to fit replacement dentures, the original pair having gone MIA in hospital. My mother improved 110% within a matter of days of her going to Ysguborwen.

I have nothing but admiration for the staff who look after my wife and also the way they have made me welcome at the home. It is sad to leave your wife at the end of visiting but I have peace of mind that she is well looked after. Thank you for all your care.

I am very pleased with the care my mother receives, the nursing staff are very friendly and you can approach them with anything you require. They are very helpful. I can't fault anything about the nursing home.

My mother has been a resident for over three years in lilac unit and has settled far better than expected, she is well cared for by the experienced staff whose job can be challenging at times I'm sure. The activities team are very good, interacting with the residents and encouraging everyone to join in with quizzes, bingo drawing and more. You are always welcomed when visiting, weather permitted the garden area is a lovely setting, we go up with the grandchildren and take a picnic, which my mother enjoys.

Ever since my mother moved into Ysguborwen Care Home just over two years ago, I have been absolutely delighted with the care she has received. All of the staff, without exception, have been amazing with her and nothing is ever too much trouble. Everyone is always friendly and supportive and I have been kept informed at every stage when my mother has visited a GP, nurse, optician etc. I cannot commend it highly enough and am so glad that I chose Ysguborwen for my mam's care.

Always happy with the care our sister receives. She had a medical emergency in July that was dealt with efficiently. Now back at the home, ongoing treatment is going well. She seems happy and that is all that matters.

I am amazed at the care my Aunt has day in and day out. She is happy and looked after 100%, always smiling. Everyone is helpful, happy and welcoming even though she has only been in this nursing part for approximately 5 months after moving. Everywhere is spotlessly clean and tidy and very homely and comfortable. Treated as if she's always been there. Everyone talks to her and she is never ignored when calling for someone. Excellent at all levels. Thank you.

I am really happy with the care that my mother receives. She is always clean and tidy and looks well cared for. The staff are always friendly and welcoming when I visit. I have no concerns and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a care home for their loved one.

Always very helpful and accommodating. The setting around the home is very picturesque and being able to go out in the wheelchair helps with the resident's morale. The accommodation is also very pleasant and very clean with lots of activities for the residents to enjoy if they want to.

It is 9 years since my mother became a resident of Ysguborwen after suffering a major stroke. The care and support she receives from the nurses and carers is unparalleled. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and no matter the time of day you visit they are all working hard to ensure the comfort of the residents. They have a fantastic entertainment and activity programme and I have been lucky enough to visit when a concert, or dancing, is going on. They have a wonderful garden area outside that is used extensively during the warmer months. The home is spotlessly clean, as is my mother's room and it is very obvious they treat my mother's space and personal items with the utmost respect. During what was a very difficult time Ysguborwen, with its staff and carers, have made it a lot more manageable. I cannot recommend Ysguborwen highly enough and I will always be grateful for the care they have given to my mother.

Amazing staff and activities coordinators. My mum has had the best respite care, the staff are wonderful, she has had a lovely time and I'm so sad she won't be staying as they have done so much for her.

My mum has only been at the home a few weeks. She has settled in very quickly due to the kindness and how welcoming the staff has been. She was in hospital a long time and most days refused to get out of bed and slept all day. Since being at the home, she gets up every day and spends the day in the main room with everyone else. She is usually one of the last ones to go to bed. She has also enjoyed being in the beautiful gardens when the weather has permitted. The staff and care are exceptional. We are informed of any health issues and GP advice or referrals are dealt with promptly. Hopefully as time goes on Mum will start to join in with the activities and enjoy the fun the staff bring to the home.

My godfather recently passed away whilst a resident in lilac unit, Ysguborwen. Ysguborwen had been his home for 2 years prior to his passing. The staff were always so friendly and caring not just to him but to me and my family. During the last 2 weeks of his life, they were nothing short of amazing, went above and beyond to accommodate his every need whilst also supporting myself and showing so much compassion during this time. I have immense gratitude for the staff, who made a difficult time more bearable.

My dad was a very keen gardener, winning awards for his beautiful garden. We thought this would be the best place for him. We were so right, always something going on inside and out. The staff are so welcoming and the care they provide is exceptional, good contact with us in regards to my dad's health and wellbeing. Smiling faces always from receptionists to cleaners, I really enjoy visiting the nursing home it's a delight to see the residents enjoying activities and music.

Ysguborwen are always welcoming, you can visit at any time. They are easygoing and work very hard, as whenever I visit the staff are always busy looking after the residents' every need and nothing is too much for them. There are activities going on on a regular basis and residents are moved around so they engage with different residents. Rooms and daytime quarters are very clean and homely and always lovely and warm. Excellent!

So happy our mam is extremely well cared for by the whole team on the lilac unit. Mam has got to know them all and feels relaxed and comfortable. Her room is always clean and cosy. Summertime is our favourite, taking mam for a picnic by the lake. The staff are always so friendly and helpful. Thank you all.
