Description of Special Services, Support and Facilities

Staff at Y Garreg Lwyd are experienced in caring for people with mild dementia, mobility problems, incontinence and other age related difficulties. We seek advice from appropriate specialist services if required. Local community nurses support staff when residents require nursing care.

Advocacy

There is an advocacy service provided within the mental health services and also an independent service provided through Age Concern. Care Aware is a public advocacy service specialising in care issues for older people.

Arrangements can be made via the Manager if need be.

Religious support

Vicars, ministers, and other religious leaders can be requested to attend Y Garreg Lwyd if required. The local vicar does attend on a regular basis to provide Holy Communion.

Laundry and cleaning services

Personal laundry is catered for free of charge. Residents are advised to bring in machine washable clothes, as we cannot be held responsible for damage caused to clothing by laundering. All items of clothing should be clearly labelled with the resident’s name. Laundry staff can arrange for clothes to be dry-cleaned upon request and this will be charged for separately.
