Reviews for Awel-Y-Mor Care Home

"Lovely, well-kept home with a friendly feeling. The staff are excellent with residents, nothing is too much trouble, always see smiling faces, more like a youth club, with activities for able-bodied, arts and crafts, doing jigsaws, loads of things to keep the residents occupied and entertainment brought in from outside, singers and various other entertainment. Always a positive atmosphere in the home. I have never seen anyone unhappy. When my time comes and I, myself, need caring for, I hope it's in a home just like Barchester Awel-Y-Mor Care Home. Excellent all round care with outstanding staff, excellent."

"Wow! What an amazing, homely atmosphere, very high standard of cleanliness, residents were all treated like family. Didn't feel like a care home, felt like a family home, just bigger. Would highly recommend to anyone who has to place family/friends in this setting, who has to make this decision. Staff treat residents with kindness, respect and dignity, very impressed."

"We as a family have had an excellent experience here. The management and carers are professional, knowledgably and very caring to residents and visitors alike. The facilities and activities are excellent, plentiful and well run and there are many communal areas to suit individual needs. A care home is never going to be quite like a private home (living in your own home) but I'd say this is as close as it gets."

"My experience is very good from the time I moved in, I was welcomed by all staff and all the staff are all very helpful to me. As a visitor to the home several times a week I can say I have always been welcomed when entering and always been kind and friendly."

"My brother has been in Awel-y-Mor Care Centre for about 4 years. His main carer (our mother) passed away in 2011, but he had been in other care establishments prior to arriving in Gorseinon. With Down syndrome and unable to communicate, he went through a harrowing grieving period. He needed good nursing care, which he has always received in Awel-y-Mor. My sister and I have been very pleased with the overall care. The staff are friendly every time I visit."

"My brother has been a resident for 2 years. During that time, he has been well cared for. The staff are very kind, friendly, some are exceptional. They bother to get to know the person in their care and accommodate their needs/interests and build confidence. The activities team organise events and take residents out as much as they are able - from rugby to theatre to picnics, meals etc. The home occasionally has "restaurant evenings" where families join the residents for a lovely meal and entertainment. Overall, he is well cared for and I don't worry that he is safe."

"I was impressed with the meeting we had as far as I am concerned there was nothing I could complain about. I am quite happy with the care my son is having, I would not like him to go elsewhere."

"Staff are friendly and committed, the standard of care is very high. The building is functional and well kept. Facilities are suitable and thought has clearly been involved in their planning. Although the building isn't an old, fancy mansion and there are clearly budgetary constraints on what can be achieved at this facility. Hard work and genuinely caring employees make Awel-y-Mor excellent value and a good quality of life. It is possible to pay a lot more elsewhere but it would be hard to get more than is on offer here. More work could be done on diet plans for residents."

"My father was a resident at Awel-y-Mor for a year. He had been seriously ill after suffering a brain haemorrhage and required 24-hour specialist care. We had viewed several homes in the locality, prior to visiting Awel-y-Mor. On our first visit to Awel-y-Mor, we were shown around by a lovely welcoming carer who put our minds at ease and explained everything clearly. The first impression and general feel of the place was that of warmth. My father was cared for impeccably by all staff members who cared for him like they were looking after their own dad. Amazing place."

"Overall a great place, my daughter was there for 6mths, wouldn’t have a problem with her staying there again if need be. Food was great, very friendly staff, lots going on daily, great tv rooms, gardens, always tea coffee and cake for people visiting and my daughter had a fab send off from all the staff when she came home."

"A very lovely home, all members of staff and residents are very welcoming and friendly when we visit with my young family. My brother is very well cared for and seems very content. The facilities are great, communal areas and bedroom room are always immaculate. There has been great communication from care staff with family during this very worrying and difficult lockdown time."

"My husband has been here for 19 years now. It is his home. This is largely due to the dedication and professionalism of its staff, but also to how much they care about their clients. They have become family, and under current circumstances, I worry about them as much as the rest of our family. I take my hat off to them all! A wonderful bunch of people."

"My mum has been at the care home for many years, and due to her illness can be quite a handful. My hat goes off to the staff for not only their exceptional care and tenacity but for also accommodating my phone calls at weird hours. Their demeanour on answering the phone is always ‘can do’ bubbly and always ask me how America is. Just recently, one of the staff tried to accommodate a video call with my mother at home, but the time difference was our enemy. I absolutely adore the staff and what they do. Thank you."

"The on-going care in these most difficult of times is second-to-none at Awel-y-Mor. Each and every member of staff is committed to keeping the residents safe and well. Staff are also ensuring that appropriate activities continue in order to maintain the morale of the residents. I cannot thank them enough for looking after my husband so well. Loving the social media page by the way."

"My experience when visiting the home has always been a very positive one. The staff are always very friendly and sociable. I've always felt a good vibe from all members of staff. My father was the first person whom I visited at this home, and he sadly passed away there. I now visit a very good friend of mine there, and I can see how much he has improved since being there. The home is always immaculate and comfortable. My friend always tells me how he loves the food and is happy there."

"I visit one of your residents most weeks and have always felt welcome and thoroughly enjoy the refreshments provided! I have experience of visiting other people in nursing and residential homes and without doubt, Barchester Awel-Y-Mor Care Home is, by far, the best. The indoor and outdoor facilities are most impressive with the gym and physio provisions are, in my opinion, beneficial to the health and well-being (both physical and mental) of residents. I'm also impressed by the variety of activities provided."

"My mother has been in this care home since June 2021. The staff are very kind to her and treat her with respect and dignity. Due to the fact that my mother is almost bedbound and does not like being hoisted and put into a wheelchair as she finds the process painful. Consequently, she does not participate in the in-house activities. The room is light and well-furnished and generally kept clean. The quality of the food that my mother (vegetarian) eats in her room is, in my opinion, poor. Her daily menu consists of breakfast - tea and toast, lunch - a baked potato with a filling and supper - a sandwich. I did, on one occasion, take the baked potato lunch my mother had been served back to reception as it looked as if it was two days old. There is a distinct lack of variety in her diet and little or no fresh fruit."

"An outstanding team (all staff) led by a very approachable and immensely supportive manager whose experience and ability to react instantly are impressive. The care afforded to my husband continues to excel and I only have to ask and I see a medic straight away. Clearly, communication is the key and teamwork. These are evident. I continue to be very pleased to have entrusted my husband to Awel-Y-Mor Care Home."

"My aunt was placed in Awel-Y-Mor when her needs became too great for my grandmother to manage at home even with care and support. My aunt's needs were very complex and intense and at times very difficult to manage. The care she received was absolutely amazing. The staff are very knowledgeable and experience with supporting those with complex needs. My aunt was treated with dignity and respect by the staff. She was placed in the care home in the height of the pandemic and this was very difficult for us as a family but they ensured that we were aware of everything that was going on and they always had time to speak to us with regards to any concerns or changes in her health. There appeared to be activities going on at the care home which she thoroughly enjoyed, you only have to see their Facebook page to see the amazing activities that they do. I would highly recommend the care home due to the overall standard of care, respect and dignity given to the residents."
