Annedd residents transfer to new care scheme
The last remaining residents at Carmarthenshire Council’s Annedd care home, Llanybydder, have successfully transferred to the county’s new integrated care scheme.
All staff at Annedd have also moved across to the new care scheme – Cwm Aur – and all are settling in well.
The move took place earlier this month, and the carefully managed transfer process has ensured that all residents have experienced minimum disruption.
Cwm Aur - a partnership between the council and Grŵp Gwalia - provides one and two bedroom flats to people aged over 55.
The scheme also offers extra care, provided by Gwalia Care and Support, which benefits those who require support whilst maintaining the privacy of their own home.
Cwm Aur contains 40 self-contained flats, along with several respite and care rooms.
Each flat has a lockable front door, and gives residents the freedom of having visitors, such as relatives and GP’s, to visit as they wish.
Telecare systems are fitted throughout, and on-site staff provide 24-hour care and support to those who require it.
Other features include a restaurant and multi-purpose function room, hairdressers and treatment room, electric buggy store, landscaped gardens and a library.
Bruce McLernon, director of social care, health and housing, said: “We’re glad that residents and staff are settling in well at Cwm Aur. Our staff ensured that those moving from Annedd were fully prepared, and it’s good to know that those plans helped make the move go as smoothly as we’d hoped.”
Annedd has now been decommissioned as a care home, and arrangements are underway to dispose of the assets.
Cwm Aur will be officially opened in the New Year.
