Review from Rosemary B (Friend of Resident) published on 4 February 2025 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
As a friend of a resident, I have visited quite a few times and am always impressed with the staff and the way they interact with everyone. The atmosphere and decor are welcoming. I am 87 and would move in happily. I feel it's important to give praise to such a lovely run home.

Review from Gwen S (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 May 2016 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother was a resident for a short while until she died. She was treated extremely well by all members of staff.
The home is very well run and is in fact a "home from home" where nothing is too much trouble no matter what time of day it is or how busy they are.
The home is very well run and is in fact a "home from home" where nothing is too much trouble no matter what time of day it is or how busy they are.
I cannot thank Avondale enough for taking care of Mum in her final weeks. I would recommend this home to everyone.
