Bupa’s Wylesfield Care Home in Llandrindod Wells has been named among the top 20 recommended care homes in Wales.

There are 1,095 homes in Wales with the top 20 receiving an award from the leading online directory and industry website for researching and sourcing a care home in the UK, carehome.co.uk.

The award is based on the care home’s recommendations from their residents, as well as friends and relatives of residents.

Reece Simmons, home manager, said: “We are delighted to receive this recognition for Wylesfield, particularly as it’s based on recommendations by the people who matter - our residents, their families and friends.

“The award is testament to the hard work and commitment of all the staff who provide high levels of care and make Wylesfield a homely, safe and comfortable environment for our residents to live in.”

Davina Ludlow, director of carehome.co.uk, said: “We feel the best people to rate a care home are the residents and their families and friends. Their recommendations show that so many care homes are warm and inviting places to live where residents receive loving and compassionate care.

“Wylesfield Care Home has proved that it provides excellent care and we’d like to congratulate it on being a top recommended home in Wales. It’s a wonderful achievement to be recognised for being a highly recommended home by the very people you care for.

“Looking for the right care home can be tough. We hope our awards will help to make people’s search that little bit easier.”
