On return, the care and thoughtfulness shown have returned her to better health again.
I know when I have holidays that she is very well cared for and have total trust in the care home that she will be looked after.
My aunt enjoys the atmosphere and friendliness of the staff. If help is needed, it is always to hand. My aunt can also be independent but chooses which activities to partake in.

It is the next best thing to my own home. Staff are nice, cooks cater to food choice. Spotlessly clean, very comfortable. Its the cream of all care homes.

This is a very comfortable home for all types of residents. It is set in a very attractive garden which leads to open fields for cows and sheep and there is distant woodland. We are well looked after, the food is good and there are activities for those who want them.
The hairdresser visits and the food are good.

Aveley Lodge Care Home, previously known as Aveley Lodge Retirement Home, was officially opened on 25th July 1989 by Robin Parmenter, the father of the current owners, Michael and Deborah. Having grown up immersed in the family business, Michael and Deborah took over full ownership in 2006 when Robin retired, and they have transformed Aveley Lodge into the care home you see today. They are both very passionate about care, passionate about Aveley Lodge, and passionate about individuals receiving the care, dignity and respect they deserve. They both strongly believe that all those in care should and must be treated fairly and compassionately and that the care offered is governed by our Home’s key principles as well as effective communication, total professionalism, and absolute attention to detail. Keeping Aveley Lodge a small and informal family-run care home has always been central to their ethos. They enjoy the opportunity of giving those in their twilight years a chance to spend their final days in a safe, pleasurable and relaxing environment that they have created here at Aveley Lodge.
