Brynhyfryd Care Home in Builth Wells has been named one of the top 100 care homes in the UK - and the only one in Wales - in the inaugural Lottie Awards 2025.

The new national awards recognise care homes that go above and beyond in providing exceptional care for older adults. Winners were chosen through a data-led assessment of more than 10 key performance indicators, covering Quality of Care, Operational Excellence, Digital Impact, and Workplace Culture.

Brynhyfryd Care Home was recognised for exceptional quality care, praised for its high standard of personalised support that places it among the best care providers in the UK.

Will Donnelly, Co-Founder & CEO of Lottie, said: “The launch of the Lottie Awards is about recognising the incredible dedication of care professionals who make a real difference in people’s lives every day. I’m especially proud to see Brynhyfryd Care Home included in our list, it really reflects the passion and commitment of the team at the home, who go above and beyond for their residents.

“Choosing a care home can be one of the most challenging decisions families face. That’s why the Lottie Awards are based on robust data, reviewing key criteria such as regulator ratings, facilities, and staff feedback to give families trustworthy insight into homes that deliver exceptional care in their area.”

Founded in 2021 by brothers Chris and Will Donnelly, Lottie uses smart technology and human support to make finding quality care quicker, easier, and more transparent.

The Lottie Top 100 Care Home Awards aim to give families clear, trustworthy information to help them choose the best care for their loved ones.

Mr Donnelly added: “These top 100 care homes are not just meeting residents’ needs, they’re redefining later living by creating vibrant and supportive communities that deliver exceptional care and experiences.”
