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.
