Vision and Values
A personal message from the owners Mary and Rob Cottrell.
We are exceptionally proud of our two beautiful care homes which overlook parkland in one of Cardiff’s most desirable residential areas. Both homes offer superb care and accommodation, yet are quite different in character from each other.
“As with everything in life we believe there is no such thing as “One size fits all”, so when it comes to choosing a care home, not everyone wants the same thing. We understand this, and endeavour to provide that special touch.
It is apparent, when one walks into either home that care will be excellent and person centered. The food of a high quality, the accommodation comfortable, attractive and safe. However, some are looking for a smaller setting, where the atmosphere is very much like that of one big family. Others prefer a larger home where there is a greater choice of people to engage with, bringing a slightly livelier feel, yet still with the close bonds found in a well-run home. There are advantages to both. We have the choice. We provide this choice to you and your loved ones.
At the Lodges, we can meet all needs, fit to your requirements and care for your family as they would be at home.
Ty Draw and Wentworth Lodges have the difference you have been looking for.
Wentworth lodge has just 14 beds in a Victorian property with a pleasant enclosed garden to the rear. This makes it possibly currently the smallest care home in Cardiff.
Here there is incredible attention to personal preferences, a uniquely homely atmosphere and a feeling more akin to a Boutique hotel with care than any kind of purpose built care home. This is a setting in which those looking for a quieter lifestyle will feel very comfortable. Of course all the facilities for activities and entertainment in our sister home are available to those residents who would like to participate in them, and of course we provide our own activities within this setting too, just on a smaller scale.
Tydraw Lodge is a much larger home located in the same road ,this time in a pair of Victorian properties, comprising 32 beds, 6 of which are in a new purpose built wing. There is again an attractive enclosed garden to the rear suitable for residents to engage in gardening activities if they so wish. It is a hive of activity with a vibrant culture and a multitude of activities and entertainments. The care is superb and the accommodation offers considerable choice of types of rooms.
The manager of the homes – Toby has years of experience in other excellent care settings. We now have a little dog who comes in most days for the residents to enjoy. Opera singers, folk groups and string ensembles are just a few of the entertainers who have visited us recently.
