About

Tŷ Penrhos Care Home is a modern homely setting specialising in residential and nursing dementia care and a community for adults with physical disabilities. Positioned in the newly developed Castlegate area of Caerphilly, Tŷ Penrhos has been built to exacting standards and incorporates the very latest thinking to support residents to maximise their independence.

Staffed by a highly experienced team, Tŷ Penrhos has been designed to accommodate the changing needs of its residents. Accommodation is based on the principle of providing a smaller homely wing within the safety and security of a modern structure. This provides the opportunity for people to be cared for in a personalised and familiar setting by a consistent and dedicated colleague team.

Tŷ Penrhos provides en-suite accommodation for 83 people across five areas/communities, which support orientation with careful consideration for colour, light and furnishing. Each community has its own facilities with spacious movement spaces, lounge/dining areas and kitchenette, and assisted bathing. All bedrooms at Tŷ Penrhos exceed minimum space requirements and are equipped with an en-suite walk-in shower room with toilet and basin. Every effort has been made to incorporate the concept of dignity, privacy and choice into the community. All bedrooms are fitted with telephone points, Wi-fi access and TV units.

Meals are prepared in the high-tech kitchen, where individual and specialist diets can be catered for by experienced and professional colleagues. Additional services at the home include hairdressing and religious services for residents' convenience. The home is also equipped with commercial laundry facilities that offer the highest standards of service.
