Local knowledge across Pontypridd

Pontypridd sits where the Rhondda and Taff rivers meet, a market town at the gateway to the South Wales valleys and home to the famous Old Bridge that William Edwards completed in 1756. Families we support live right across the town and its surrounding communities, from Treforest and Graig to Cilfynydd, Glyncoch, Trallwn, Rhydyfelin, Maesycoed, Hawthorn, Pwllgwaun and out to Ynysybwl and Trehafod. Care needs vary just as much across the valleys, from terraced streets close to the town centre to the hillside communities above the river, and we tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service.

Most homes here fall within the CF37 postcode, with neighbouring communities such as Church Village and Llantwit Fardre reaching into CF38. Many of the people we help know Ynysangharad War Memorial Park and the National Lido of Wales, and staying close to those familiar places and routines is often a big part of what makes care at home work so well.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital in nearby Llantrisant or after outpatient appointments at Dewi Sant Health Park and Pontypridd Cottage Hospital, all part of Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board. The first weeks back at home matter, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support and stay in close contact with families and community teams.

Adult social care in the town is overseen by Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council under the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014, and home care providers in Wales are regulated by Care Inspectorate Wales. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask the council for a free care and support needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Many families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work. You can read more on our paying for care guide.
