Cwrt Mytton EMI Residential Care Home Celebrates 35 Years of Care and Community

Cwrt Mytton EMI Residential Care Home is proud to celebrate its 35th anniversary, marking a milestone since first opening its doors to residents in 1990.

To honour the occasion, the home is hosting its much-loved annual Halloween party on Thursday 30th October, inviting residents, their families, and friends to join in the festivities. Guests can look forward to fancy dress, a hot buffet, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that reflects the heart of Cwrt Mytton’s community spirit.

Located just off Alma Street near the town centre, Cwrt Mytton is a Social Services EMI residential care home run by Blaenau Gwent Council for older people, including those living with dementia. The building was thoughtfully designed to ensure comfort and convenience for both residents and visitors, with accommodation spread across two floors and serviced by a lift.

Joanne Hawkins, Manager, Cwrt Mytton EMI Residential Care Home says:

““Cwrt Mytton is more than a care home—it’s a vibrant community. Through a wide range of social activities and strong local links, we ensure that every resident experiences a high standard of personal and emotional care, tailored to their individual needs and preferences.

Celebrating 35 years is a testament to the dedication of our staff and the warmth of our residents and families. We’re proud to continue providing a safe, supportive, and joyful environment for everyone who calls Cwrt Mytton home.”

The home’s mission is to provide high-quality, 24-hour EMI residential care while supporting residents’ independence and choice. Activities are chosen collaboratively by staff and residents which include social events, quizzes, concerts, and choirs, games like dominoes, darts, bingo, and crafts. They also enjoy seasonal celebrations including barbecues and Christmas parties as well as coffee mornings, video evenings, and outings to shops, shows, library and restaurants.

Looking Ahead

As Cwrt Mytton celebrates 35 years of service, the team remains committed to creating a safe, supportive, and joyful environment for all residents. The anniversary is not just a celebration of the past—it’s a reaffirmation of the home’s dedication to compassionate care and community connection.
