Purpose built in 1991 in Blaina, Abertillery, Cwm Celyn Care Home comprises of four units each with six bedrooms, a lounge, dining rooms and a central communal activity area.

Cwm Celyn is recognised as a specialist facility for people with complex needs and has access to Shaw’s own clinical specialist and senior team – this has enabled us to establish a successful supported-living scheme from the home. Our underpinning philosophy is that everyone should be supported to integrate fully with the local community and take advantage of social, recreational and educational opportunities. Our overall aim is to provide a valued social environment for residents and to enable and assist them in the development of their personal, social and life skills to the fullest possible extent. To achieve this we use a person centred approach in which every resident has a named carer and is supported on an individual basis.

Moving into residential or nursing care can be a difficult decision but is often necessary for older people who can no longer manage on their own or with the help of relatives, friends or other carers. But in Shaw care homes our friendly professional staff are trained to make the transition hassle free and ensure that independence and the key components of daily living are maintained as much as possible. We aim to provide you with choices - over your personal care, what and when you eat, whether you want some peace and quiet or to join in a range of social activities. All this is provided in homely and comfortable surroundings - and with your own private bedroom. There are two types of care home, those which provide personal care only and those which also provide nursing care. All homes provide meals, laundry service and personal care such as help with washing, dressing, general mobility and day-to-day tasks. Nursing homes provide all of these services but additionally they employ registered, trained nurses who are able to provide health-related care. Government assistance with the cost of this nursing care is available to everyone and is not means-tested.
