Avon Park is run exceptionally well. All the staff are excellent, and Amy and Mitchell are fantastic managers. Residents are well looked after and given plenty of choice with their meals. Activities are offered too. They hold plenty of days when the extended family are invited - eg: BBQ's etc and it's a great atmosphere.

I searched lots of care homes to find somewhere I was happy to place my mother and where I thought she would like.
The home is amazing, all the staff are lovely and friendly and appear very caring. Its clean rooms are spacious, modern, and all the contents are in good condition. Food seems very good, sometimes not to mum's liking, but that's her choice. My mum is very happy.
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback. We're delighted to hear that your mother is happy and settling in well. Our team takes great pride in providing a caring and comfortable environment for all our residents, and it's wonderful to know that this has been your experience.
The Avon Park Care Home Team
After visiting 4 care homes, I finally decided on Avon Park based on the level of carers to residents nd a very warm welcome by the manager and the staff, including the chef, the maintenance man was helping settle residents and getting them a cuppa. The staff seem to pull together to create a lovely environment for the residents. The residents look happy and engaged since my mum has been in the home; she has been well cared for, she engages with the staff and is happy with the level of care she receives. She loves her room, which overlooks the gardens. She has joined with some of the activities that the home offers on a weekly basis. One staff member in particular is so kind and spends time with Mum to alleviate any worries. The person who owns the home is also very present.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Pleased to hear that your mother is well cared for and that she finds the staff cheerful, happy and helpful. I will share this with the team
The experience for my mother & myself has been without a doubt fabulous. The staff are without exception brilliant with their care and help to the residents. Overall I would without exception recommend the Avon Park to any future residents/families.
Thank you for your lovely comments. The care and services we deliver as a team to our residents and families are extremely important to us. Your feedback will be shared with the team.Yours sincerely
Mum loves living at Avon Park. She moved in nine years ago and has been happy ever since. She has her own hobbies - such as playing her piano and looking after her pot plants - but also likes joining some of the many activities on offer. She says it's lovely having her own space, but with smiling faces popping by asking what she'd like for lunch or if she'd like to come to Exercise class or whatever. The staff are lovely, and very capable too, coping extremely well with her various health issues. Many of the staff have been there for many years - which I think says a lot. They're skilled, full of warmth, and work very hard to give every resident as full and happy life as possible, so I thoroughly recommend Avon Park.
Hello Rhona,Thank you for such an excellent review. I am pleased to here that your mother enjoys life at Avon Park Care Home, in particular she appreciates her own space whilst supported by friendly and caring staff. Thank you for your lovely comments of our staff. I will share it with the team.Thanks again.Alex
My mother is beign looked after very well. She moved to the care home in December 2024. My father died unexpectedly in January 2025. The staff have been very kind and caring. My mother is happy and settled.
Thank you for your review. It is good to know that your mother is well cared for and that she is happy. Kind regards
The staff are kind and patient and listen to her (she speaks very slowly and quietly). She has peace and quiet there. Also, her meds are slightly complicated and this is handled impeccably as far as I have seen.
Avon Park is a wonderful family-run home with fantastic staff and facilities. The staff/management were so kind and approachable paying particular attention to individual needs in an empathetic and respectful manner. Mum stayed in one of the newly built rooms which was 5*, en suite, garden view and access, warm, bright everything you could wish for. Throughout the home, everything is clean and well presented, with the common areas both cheerful and calming. Residents are encouraged to join in with the activities including bingo, church services and quiz morning. The meals were excellent with tea, coffee, juice and snacks always available both for residents and visitors. Mum's stay has come to an end now but she will return to have lunch with the staff and friends she made during her time there.
Thank you all for your wonderful care, attention and friendship afforded to Mum and her family and friends during her stay.
Hi Dave, thank you for this amazing review. I will share it with our team, who work extremely hard to ensure our residents have a wonderful experience at Avon Park.
My cousin was made to feel welcome and at home as soon as she stepped into Avon Park, so much so that a two-week respite visit has turned into a possible permanent stay. Every member of staff (of which there are plenty) has been kind, respectful, welcoming and has treated her with the dignity she deserves. The home is immaculately clean and nothing seems to be too much trouble. Rooms are spacious, bright and homely. Activities are available AM and PM during the week, including quizzes, arts/crafts, games and fitness. This is a very impressive care home which I would highly recommend to friends and family. Well done to all the amazing staff.
Dear Victoria, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're happy to hear that your cousin is receiving such great care at Avon Park. I will share your kind comments, with the whole team.
The staff were warm and made us welcome. The lunch was first class and the chef came out so we could say thank you for a great lunch.
Thank you for your review. I am pleased to hear that you found the staff, warm friendly and welcoming when you visited the home. I will share your feedback with the team. Kind regards.
My uncle was only at Avon Park for a short period, but I will say that this time was the happiest I have seen him in a long time. The staff showed nothing but pure care for his every need. They actively worked to get him used to his new surroundings and enjoy his new life. There was an instant understanding and respect for the man as a person, they tailored his care and the attention they gave him to make him feel involved in the decisions that were made. During his healthy days with Avon Park, he enjoyed nice meals, more than the odd glass of wine and time outside to enjoy the spring weather. His room benefitted from a door to the outside courtyard, and as a previous architect, he took a great deal of pleasure in, and overseeing the expansion works. My distance from him meant that social media calls were necessary and these were always welcome, with help to get the most out of them. I also was updated with a newsletter with photos, which was very comforting. Highly recommended home.
Thank you so much for taking the time to submit your kind review. We were pleased that your uncle settled in so well with us here. It was our pleasure getting to know and care for him.
An excellent family-run care home with great staff. Lovely atmosphere throughout. Although Mum has only been there 6 weeks she already feels part of the "family."
Thank you for taking the time to review our home. Feedback is very important to us, it helps to drive up standards across all our services. We will continue providing the highest level of care and support to your mother, as well as to all our residents. Kind regards.
My father (95) has just spent the last few months in Avon Park. The care and kindness he received in my opinion was excellent. His physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs were met with care and dignity. After visiting him I would leave with our worry as I knew he was being well cared for. He had the choice to spend time in his own room or engage with the other residents. Moving my father to this home was one of the best decisions. Many of the rooms have outside doors to a courtyard. The home is very homely and friendly, with an excellent manager who kept me well informed of any changes. No dementia and stay for end of life.
Thank you for your review. Feedback is important to us, it helps us improve our services. It was a pleasure caring for your father; he was a delight. Our aim though, is to continue providing the highest standard of care to all our residents. Yours sincerely
I am impressed with the kindness of all staff and the service they provide to their residents. The facilities are always clean and tidy with a homely, welcoming feel for both residents and guests alike.
The staff and manager go above and beyond to help as well as be understanding of clients' needs. Thank you all for what you do.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Feedback is important to us, it helps us to improve. We are committed to providing a high standard of care to all our residents. Kind regards.
Would not hesitate to move into the care home were the need to arise. Currently increasing their capacity, I wish them ongoing success.
Thank you for your review. We always value feedback as they help us to improve. Your mother was lovely; it was really a pleasure caring for her. We will continue providing all our residents with the very best care.
The home is bright and airy with committed, caring and friendly staff. The rooms are well-furnished and clean. Overall a great place to spend your days.
Hi Mick, thank you for your review. Feedback is always greatly valued. We will use your feedback to help us maintain our standards and hopefully to improve. We are committed to providing the best quality care for your brother, and indeed to all our residents. Yours sincerely.
Mum made the decision to find a care home she was finding it increasingly difficult to manage at home. Having visited several homes, Mum decided on Avon Park as it had a 'homely feel'. All staff are kind and caring and they have helped her settle in. Mum enjoys the activities and entertainment provided and as she has sight loss there is always someone to help her if necessary. There is also always someone to talk to at the home if the family need to discuss anything with them.
We will continue providing the very best care for your mother, and indeed for all our residents.
Many thanks.
