Care is a family affair for Glyn

The Williams family are all together under one roof

When 85-year-old Glyn Williams moved into the Broughton Hall care home in Wrexham he had good reason to know he would be well looked after.

After all, his daughter Janet is a senior care assistant at the home, granddaughter Judy is the deputy manager, and great-granddaughter Jenna is a care assistant.

At least one generation of Mr Williams' family is there around the clock.

Mr Williams says it is "fantastic" to have his relatives around him.

Janet, 57, explained how they all came to be under one roof.

"When my mum died I was really worried about dad," she said. "Judy and I were both working here so it seemed to make sense that he should move in".

We all get on well and we're all big friends Daughter, Janet

"Dad tried it out and he wouldn't go home after. He just stayed".

"We all get on well and we're all big friends. It means we can all look after each other," said Janet.

"Now we all see dad more than we ever did".

The retired Brymbo steelworker has been living in Broughton Hall since April last year.

"Everything's good about it," said Mr Williams. "I never miss anything".

Three generations work together at Broughton Hall

Judy, 37, was the first member of the family to walk through the door of the home.

"We are lucky because there's always somebody here with taid (granddad)," said Judy. "When Jenna left school, she wanted to come here because it's a lovely, friendly home".

Gary Dodd, the manager of Broughton Hall, which is run by Hallmark Healthcare, admitted it was an unusual arrangement.

"I've worked here for two years now. Janet and Judy were already here and now Mr Williams and Jenna have joined the family clan".

"Glyn needed daily care and he decided to give it a go and he's just loved it," said Gary.

"He's got reassurance that his family are on hand 24 hours a day. There's always somebody here for him".

Jenna, 18, the youngest member of the family at the home, plans to study nursing.
