Private bedrooms
Residents have their own private room, giving them a personal space where they can relax, rest and spend time with visitors.
Each room has a call system so residents can contact staff at any time of the day or night. Families are encouraged to bring small items of furniture, decorations, photographs and personal belongings to help make the room feel familiar.
Most bedrooms have en suite facilities, with some rooms kept for short respite stays.
Lounges and communal areas
Ty Melin has several comfortable communal lounges where residents can socialise, watch television, take part in activities or sit quietly and read.
Some lounge areas can also be used for dining, giving residents more choice about where they eat and how they spend their day.
Dining room and meals
The dining room provides a sociable setting for residents who enjoy eating with others, and mealtimes are planned to feel relaxed and enjoyable.
Residents can choose to eat in the dining room, in their own room, or in one of the lounge dining areas. The cook can cater for dietary requirements, and there is a varied menu of nutritious, tasty meals.
Garden and outdoor space
Ty Melin has a rear garden with several seating areas where residents can enjoy fresh air, conversation and quieter moments outside.
During the summer months the garden is also used for barbecues and seasonal activities.
Hair salon
The hairdressing salon is located on the first floor, with a hairdresser attending Ty Melin every Thursday.
This helps residents keep familiar routines and enjoy a little personal care without needing to leave the home.
Access and mobility support
The home has a lift and chair hoist to support access and mobility around the building.
Staff also provide support with everyday mobility where needed, subject to individual assessment and care planning.
Laundry and practical comforts
Laundry is carried out on site, helping residents keep clothing clean and cared for within the home. We ask that clothing is labelled when a resident arrives at Ty Melin.
Toiletries can be supplied by families, or the home can purchase toiletries and deduct the cost from the resident’s personal allowance.
Activities and local outings
Residents are encouraged to enjoy a varied programme of activities, while always having the choice to take part or not.
Activities may include board games, karaoke, weekly bingo, music and movement sessions, visits from KiddleyDivey and seasonal pantomimes.
Residents can also go on shopping trips with staff, visit nearby Victoria Park, or enjoy trips further afield such as Penarth or Barry Island in warmer months.
“The staff at this home are absolutely incredible. They are kind, patient and really deliver each and every day for the residents they care for. They produce homely cooking which the residents enjoy, and nothing is ever too much trouble.
“The staff in this care home are amazing, they go above and beyond to make the service users feel at home, they are caring and considerate and very understanding, I can’t thank them enough for the lovely way they look after my dad, thank you all so much.
“My father who suffered from advanced dementia was a resident for 5 months and the care and support Dad received during the Covid pandemic was outstanding. Dad was always treated with respect and dignity by all of the care staff. I cannot recommend Ty Melin highly enough.
