Cartref Residential Home
Following guidance from Public Health Wales we are now open to visitors by prearranged appointment only. A pleasant caring atmosphere is evident upon arrival at the home. Staff always welcoming (at whatever hour) and constantly good natured with residents. Most staff are long serving, providing continuity of care and understanding of residents and their needs.

My aunt is very happy and contented at Cartref. Cartref has a very pleasant and happy atmosphere with plenty of varied social activities and a very friendly staff. I couldn't wish for her to be in a better place. My mother in law is really happy at Cartref. She is treated kindly and with respect at all times.
Services
Cartref was founded in 1949 and incorporates 2 care homes at Lake Road East, Cardiff and Station Road, Llanishen, Cardiff. Cartref is a 'not for profit' Charity governed by a Voluntary Board of Trustees providing professional care within a family atmosphere. Cartref believe a person's care should be at the centre of everything we do, meeting the differing choices and preferences of each individual.
The Second World War was over and the citizens of Cardiff recognised that many elderly people were suffering not only from the common factors that come with growing older, but also from the loneliness due to the lack of companionship.

Therefore, in 1946 an appeal was made by Mr Percy Williams in the local Cardiff press to raise funds to provide a safe caring home in Cardiff which would help to alleviate the suffering and loneliness endured by many older people.In 1949, due to the success of this appeal "The City of Cartref Old People's Welfare Committee" was formed and Cartref's first property was purchased on the current site at Lake Road East, Cardiff.
I am the C.E.O. and Responsible Individual for Cartref Residential Homes.
