We are delighted to announce that in our latest inspection with the Care Inspectorate Wales that took place on 12/12/2023, under their pilot project regarding ‘Silent Ratings’ we received an ‘Excellent’ rating for Well-being, Care and Support and Leadership and Management. Excellent is the highest rating that can be awarded and we are very proud of this.

Plas-Y-Dderwen Care Home in Carmarthen

Plas-Y-Dderwen is a purpose built care home in the peaceful village of Johnstown near Carmarthen. We provide a range of accommodation and services for older people in need of support, from respite care to 24-hour nursing care and residential care, in addition to those living with physical disabilities.

Dementia Care

We also provide specialist support for individuals living with dementia in our bespoke Memory Lane Community, where care is focused on independence, dignity and choice, with a person centred approach. We have also invested in a 'Magic Table' for our home, an interactive light projector designed to support people living with dementia through mentally and physically stimulating games.

We're proud of our socially active community which revolves around superb facilities alongside first-rate care.
