"My husband had a respite stay at Barchester Llys-y-Tywysog recently and nothing was too much trouble for all staff. Meals were prepared for him and taken to his room as he prefers to have it there, and staff were accommodating to anything. The welcome at Llys was warm and so friendly. I would definitely be happy to leave him again."

"My mother was staying with you for respite care over two weeks in November 2023. She was a little more than unsure of going prior to arrival but due to the reception and warmth of care she received from all the staff at Llys-y-Tywysog and the standards in all areas, she left grieving at the fact she was and has utterly missed you all since and requested to return. Thank you so much for it all!"

"My aunt celebrated her birthday on 17th November with residents and on her actual birthday on 18th November with her family in the home. The staff have been excellent, worked so hard with good humour. The food provided was of a very good standard, carried and beautifully presented. You made her 100th birthday such a memorable one."

"My sister and brother-in-law have been living here for the past 5 months and I couldn't praise this care home enough. Staff are very caring and any problems can be discussed, no problems. The staff are amazing from the manager to all nursing and care staff. It has been the best decision for both of them and they are very happy living here which gives the rest of the family peace of mind."

The staff are amazing and really go the extra mile to take care of you. The food is excellent and the chef made sure that any dietary requirements were met.

"There is room for improvement in some areas but overall facilities, care, kindness and well-being for residents are acceptable. All members of staff are professional in their approach and understanding of residents' needs. On occasion, they are understaffed and pushed to the limit but still provide a good service. My main opinion for improvement would be more staff on each shift."

"Llys-y-Tywysog has been the home of my mother-in-law since November last year, having moved from a council-run care home for rehabilitation following a stay in the hospital due to a fall, in the hope of her returning home. However, her mobility and risk of falls meant this could not happen. We chose Llys-y-Tywysog because of its high reviews and being so close for us to visit. The transition has not been an easy one due to the changing needs of my mother-in-law, with the result that she is now bedbound and on a pureed diet. The staff have worked consistently hard to manage her difficulties in a very safe and clean environment. My mother-in-law is very nervous about being hoisted but the staff encourage her to leave her room when they feel it's beneficial, to join the dining room for lunch and the concerts that they have. The activities shown on the weekly programme are fantastic for many of the residents. The homes open visiting is extremely advantageous. We celebrated her 95th birthday in the upstairs lounge which was very special and those memories will be held for years to come."

The cakes were delicious. Appreciated the opportunity to use a lounge upstairs for chatting with family and having tea and coffee afterwards. (Minor problem- The two teapots we were given had hot water on the side, one should have been marked tea)."

Mum came back on the 3rd of July for ten days, and when I picked her up, she was crying, saying she wanted to stay with her friends - bless her. So the following week, I got in touch with my social worker, and Mum moved in here the following Monday, 18th July. Mum loves the food and the company and loves the staff. The activities are also fab, and they all get involved."

"I am more than happy with the standard of care my mother is receiving. All Staff are very professional, approachable and friendly. They all go out of their way to acknowledge you while visiting. My mother has been a resident for just over a year now and settled in quite quickly. She has become more social since being here and is enjoying the entertainment, activities and mixing with other residents. As I leave after a visit, she always asks if she can go back to the day room to be with her friends, which is comforting knowing she is happy. Also on many occasions when visiting, I have heard my Mother praising members of staff, telling them that they are good to her. I would like to say a big Thank you to all the staff, and I would have no hesitation recommending Llys y Tywysog to anyone needing their care."

She has only good things to say about the staff and enjoys her food there. When we leave after a visit she says don't worry about me there is always someone popping in for a chat, which is lovely to hear. Any changes in her condition and she sees a Doctor and the family are informed. First class service."

"The care my mum receives at Llys-y-Tywysog is excellent. The carers are all kind and considerate to her needs, after ten years as a resident mum has come to think of her carers as her family. During the pandemic when I was unable to visit her every day I was reassured that she would be well cared for. I was lucky I could speak to mum on the phone every day, and she was able to say how good the 'girls' were to her. Now we are getting back to normality, it's great to be welcomed back in and chat with the super staff."

"Mum has been a resident of Llys Y Tywysog for 18 months and her safety and care, particularly over the past year, has been a huge comfort to me and the rest of her family. The peace of mind that Mum enjoys a good home life is invaluable. We FaceTime and phone regularly and Mum enjoys the friendship of other residents and the staff. When we were able to visit in the garden, Mum enjoyed weekly visits from family and friends and the recently opened visitors suite provides comfortable and safe visiting for the foreseeable future. We all look forward to being able to have closer visits, but until then the family are very happy that all of the staff are real friends and genuinely care for Mum and the other residents like their own families. Mum particularly enjoys the activities, cooking and bingo are favourites."

"My grandfather has been a resident in Llys-y-Twysog for over a year now, and his care has been second to none. All the staff are helpful and caring. During the time of this pandemic, the support that my grandfather has been getting is phenomenal. The lockdown has affected his dementia quite badly, but throughout, they have been patient, supportive and compassionate. The introduction of the video calls really helped our family feel closer during this awful time, and now we look forward to the once a week visit, and we look forward to being able to see him more. Thank you to all the staff at Llys-y-Twysog for your work daily and especially during this stressful time, knowing that he is safe and cared for puts all of our minds at rest."

"My Mum has been in the residential floor of Llys y Tywysog for a year now, 50% of the time during the COVID-19 pandemic and the level of care has been excellent for the whole year but particularly since the beginning of 2020. The staff have stepped up and gone above and beyond for the residents, during a very difficult time. Their duty of care has been excellent, during what has been and still is a very scary time. So, thank you very much for all you do and probably don’t always get recognised for."

"Mum has been resident at Llys Y Tywysog for a year, moving from emergency respite to permanent resident through that time. Mum's underlying health issues have been addressed sensitively and consistently, she is safe and enjoys the company of other residents and the care staff, who are now friends. All of the staff care with kindness and practical professionalism. My family have been very happy with the care and attention that mum has received and we are content that the care staff have mum's best interests in mind every day, and are always alert to any health issues that need attention. Throughout COVID and lockdown, we have been comforted by regular company, home and personal updates, video calls and recently garden visits. Mum had some awareness of COVID and care staff have been careful to inform but not alarm the residents, despite so many being affected with the disease. We are mindful of visit protocol and look forward to longer and more ‘normal’ visits as soon as is allowed."

"The care at Llys-y-Tywysog is second to none. Both my mum and dad have been cared for here. The environment is welcoming, friendly and truly person-centred in care delivery. The care, skill and regard displayed by all staff to residents are outstanding and the reason why this home is a real community for residents. My parents were expertly cared for and treated with the utmost dignity. I can't thank or praise the staff highly enough. A superb care home."

"Llys-y-Tywysog has cared for my mum for more than nine years. All through the years, she has been looked after wonderfully and her morale has been maintained to a high level. At times when she was very unwell the nursing care has been swift and effective. During this time of crisis (coronavirus) Llys-y-Tywysog have responded with the utmost urgency to protect everyone. I have always found the caring staff to be first class, but with this crisis, they have exceeded all expectations for which I am truly grateful. I have every confidence they will do their best to look after my mum. P.S. We both enjoyed the video call."

"My mother was a resident until she passed in September 2019. The care she received right up to the end was 2nd to none. The compassion they showed me and my family was outstanding. So much so that my dad is now a resident. He has Parkinson's and was in hospital for 3 months after a fall. He chose to come to Llys-y-Tywysog because he knew the staff and the level of care. They have gone over and above to keep us in contact with our loved ones during these difficult times with the coronavirus. No words can express the gratitude I have for the staff."

"Myself, and I believe everyone else, had a fantastic time at the panto Cinderella. It was a wonderful show for grown-ups as well as children. We look forward to our next pantomime, but I'm sorry to say it will be a while for the next one. Hopefully, we can go to see some other show."

"Excellent standards of practice and care, always going the extra bit that is needed in a challenging environment, always a smile on everyone's faces and I would be happy to recommend the home to many others. The girls and guys here have been a pleasure."

"My father has been in the home since March (a big adjustment for all the family), he has received excellent treatment and care, with the management friendly and approachable. As with anything relating to care, there has been a few issues with day to day problems, but when they have been pointed out to the senior staff all the problems have been addressed."

"I am very happy with Mum's home. The staff are wonderful with Mum and it's lovely for me to know she is well cared for when I can't be with her. Even to the kitchen and maintenance, nothing is too much trouble for Mum to feel happy and content. The whole place feels like family."

"A very good experience - the staff at all levels were very helpful, kind and caring. They also showed great patience with those who had greater needs. The chef provided an excellent standard of catering. My short term care allowed me to adjust after a hospital stay in preparation for returning home. I could not have asked for better service. Thank you to all departments."

"This is a lovely home, well maintained and looked after. Each person has their own room, we all have a choice of two meals at lunchtime and in the evening get sandwiches and cake. We can take a bath or shower providing we have a carers with is. Once again, we have sandwiches and a drink at bedtime."

"My parents (96 and 87 years old) have been in Llys-y-Tywysog for 6 months and my family are very pleased with the warm, understanding and professional care they have received. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. The home is very nicely decorated with good facilities for both residents and visitors. A good range of activities for enjoyment and stimulation."

"All the staff are very helpful, especially the care assistants who I think are understaffed. Find there should be more of a continuity of nursing staff, too many agency staff deployed, who do not get to know the specific needs of residents because of them I find information is not always passed on! Unfortunately, the latest manager has left which is not good for the morale of staff, residents and family members. There seems to be a very high turnover of management, which makes you wonder why! I would recommend the home as the staff, carers and nurses are very caring and helpful in a very challenging working environment."

"We visited Llys-y-Tywysog for a fete. A family friend has lived there for some time. We always have a warm welcome there, but this was the first time we'd been for a social event. It was busy with lots going on. The residents were having a great time. There was a concert going on. Staff and residents were up dancing - the staff even did the 'conga'! The chef was doing a BBQ which was tasty. Nursing homes get a lot of bad press but it just shows there are some excellent ones as well."

"We visited a family friend for the home's 25th anniversary of Barchester. We had a wonderful welcome from the staff. The residents were all happy and smiling, enjoying the great afternoon. There was a concert and stalls with Beaty and the Beast there, they were staff members dressed up, which was a nice touch. The home was clean and beautifully decorated for the fete. We do visit the home occasionally but this was the first time we had been to an event - it won't be the last. There is a feeling of being part of a big happy family at Llys-y-Tywysog. Well done!"

"I was to stay 5 nights for care as my son had brought me from Wakefield for a break to see his home and my favourite Swansea. I had requested a hospital bed, full reclining chair and a morning shower, I got it all. I like the food at breakfast and I felt secure and at ease. It made my stay happy as the carers were very good and even managed my elastic knee socks in good humour. I will, God willing come and stay again."

With all the current negative press concerning nursing homes, our family would publicly like to thank Llys y Tywysog nursing home for the fantastic Christmas they gave to all residents, including our Mum. The festivities started with a Christmas party with an excellent DJ followed by a superb buffet. 

On Christmas Day, our family, like all families whose relatives are not well enough to leave the home, were invited to join our Mother for Christmas dinner in the beautifully decorated dining room. We enjoyed a delicious four course, five star dinner. The staff, despite being at work and not with their families, were upbeat and dressed in 'onesies' and pyjamas, keeping up the festive spirit. The highlight of the festive programme was the staff pantomime written and produced by staff members. 

Despite working at a hard and demanding job, they found time to rehearse and perform. Mum's face was an absolute delight as she laughed, enthralled at the antics of the Ugly Sisters. 

Grateful thanks to all involved from Mum and our family.

We wish to thank all the staff for their support over the past seventeen months, particularly in the past few difficult weeks where demand on staff time was quite excessive and no effort was spared to ensure our Mums comfort. Each and every one of the medical, care and ancillary staff were ever helpful despite our Mums frequent impatience. We can only admire your calmness and response to her increasing needs. Thank you all.
