A big thank you to all the staff for looking after Dad.
The care and attention he received was excellent, and helped pull him through a really difficult time.

Overall Experience
I would like to say my mum received first-class care from all the staff at the Avenue Care Home.
Us as a family have received support and are treated as one of the family by all the staff. Especially in mum final days.

I was an absolute pleasure having your mum with us and working with such a supportive family.

My sister has been in The Avenue Rest Home for over 12 months and seems to have settled very well. All the staff work very hard to keep everyone safe and happy and doubts re my sister moving in are now gone as I know she is safe and well.

Review from Ann R (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 July 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Respite placement at short notice. Care was very good with respect and consideration shown daily. Staff were considerate to residents and family alike. Every effort was made to accommodate the resident with individual attention. The overall atmosphere was that of "a family" rather than a group of residents.

When visiting there always appears to be plenty of staff available. Staff all appear pleasant and answer any query put to them, either at the time or on next visit if not immediately certain.

Overall Experience
My husband was a resident at the Avenue Care Home from July 2017 until 30th May 2018, when he was admitted to hospital and died on that same day.
The care home seemed to me very good in looking after him.

He had a nice room - the food was good and the staff caring.

Overall Experience
Mum came to the care home from hospital and has made an amazing recovery. This is thanks to all the support and care she has received from the home. She is always clean, well dressed and enjoys her lovely meals. She enjoys the activities and going out on local trips. the staff are always so cheerful and chatty, so pleased I found such a great place for her to stay!

Overall Experience
I have been a resident here for 1 year. I had a stroke and was in hospital, and then came here to the Avenue Care home. I have been treated extremely well and after physiotherapy, both here and in hospital, am greatly improved. My writing so very much improved. I have no complaints.
