Meet The Manager
Paula Spruce is Home Manager at Brynhyfryd Care Home.
I love coming to work and being able to make a difference to the residents we care for. Teamwork at Brynhyfryd plays a big part in the home running so well as each member of staff will always strive to support our residents to a high standard.
We provide the level of care we would want for our loved ones. Each resident deserves the right to feel safe and to receive person-centred care.
Brynhyfryd is set among beautiful grounds overlooking a river in the historic market town of Builth Wells. Surrounded by the peaceful Powys countryside, the home offers tranquillity and comfort for our residents. There are 30 bedrooms and the purpose-built facilities have been designed specifically to offer a high level of residential care.

Brynhyfryd House opened as a nursing home in January 1987. The original house was built 1863 in the popular Tudor style. As you go around our home you can still see many of the original features although we have adapted the use to be easy for everyone who stays and visits us. We are near the seafront within the Mumbles/West Cross area, around two miles to the south of the main centre, where we enjoy extensive views of the Bay as well as the local retail facilities, pub and restaurants. |
