Set in beautifully landscaped grounds in Pontypool, Torfaen, Plas y Garn provides a warm and welcoming home for people over 65. We focus on delivering a great quality of life for our residents, whatever their abilities and needs may be.
Our specially trained team provides personalised care, including residential care and specialist support for those living with physical or mental disabilities and dementia. We take pride in creating a happy, friendly, and warm environment where residents can be as independent or as involved as they choose.
Moving into a new home is a big change, but at Plas y Garn, we do everything we can to make it feel just right. From the moment you arrive, my team and I will be here to welcome you with open arms, friendly faces, and a warm, supportive environment.
Whether it’s sharing a cup of tea, enjoying activities together, or simply having a friendly chat, we want you to feel comfortable, valued, and part of our Plas y Garn family from day one.

In following years, he worked with people with acquired brain injuries and later learning disabilities. David joined us as a senior care assistant in 2018 and has worked his way back through to the position of manager. He finds working with and supporting residents with dementia so rewarding and enjoys making a difference to their lives.
