Review from Lynne K (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Mum has been very happy here right from the start. She has a beautiful room with a lovely outlook which she refers to as 'home'. She feels very safe there, and is happy that she was able to bring her special things and bits of furniture.
The whole place is clean and designed to support her needs - she has poor vision and mobility.
In particular, the staff are very caring and respectful, often going the extra mile to make sure she is happy. Communication is good - when she has a problem or query it is dealt with quickly and in a straightforward way.

I am so relieved that she is here.

The sense of community that staff build and maintain on a daily basis gives my mum so much confidence. She regularly tells us, unasked, "Don't worry about me. I'm definitely in the right place." Thankyou all.

Overall Experience

My Dad moved into Avenue House six months ago. He enjoys the varied activities programme. The staff are very kind and the atmosphere in the home is generally relaxed. The staff really get to know the residents. He enjoys eating his meals with other people and taking part in the activities, but also enjoys time on his own in his room. It is a great relief to me and my brother that he is being looked after so well.

Overall Experience

My mother was a resident at Avenue House for 6 years. During that time she received excellent care from all the staff who are very friendly and who always treated her with kindness and respect. Sadly my mum's condition deteriorated recently and she needed end of life care. I cannot praise the staff enough for the excellent care she (and I ) received during this sad and difficult time. Avenue House staff really take the time to get to know all the residents and I always felt she was safe and well cared for in her final "home".

Review from Nicholas B (Son of Resident) published on 7 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother has received only high quality care with regular check ins with the family, looking after the regime of medicines, eye tests etc and also dealing with all the occasional exceptional stuff - my mum has had two falls over the two years she has been at Avenue House both of which were managed highly professionally. The building, facilities and gardens are all good. Residents have regular entertainments and a varied menu. Avenue House is also exceptionally affordable. Its also great that the place has a Quaker ethos - my mother is a Quaker and the Sunday Meeting for Worship is an important part of her week.

Review from Colin S (Son of Resident) published on 18 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Avenue House is a great care home with caring, respectful and kind staff. My mother has been a resident for nearly 4 years and the staff have been responsive to her changing needs over this time as she has become more frail and has more difficulty understanding the world.

There has been fantastic continuity in the staff at the home along with a strong caring ethos.

Review from Sue T (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother is the oldest resident at Avenue House and has lived there for over 12 years. This gives her, and us as her family, a long view of the excellent continuing care offered by all the staff and management.

They have helped her through the changing years with skill and commitment and she is still very much part of the community, participating in activities and enjoying visits from family and friends who are always made very welcome. As a relative, I work with the staff to support my mother, and they are open to suggestions that might help. A good partnership.

Overall Experience
I find all the staff from management down very help and friendly. My farther enjoys living there and can enjoy activities with others or find quite time on his own in the lovely new conservatory, his room or one of the large lounges with great views of the garden.
He likes his food and is always looking forward to meal times as the food is so good.

I would highly recommend Avenue house.

Mum has made friends at Avenue House - both of the residents and carers. Carriers are genuinely pleased to see mum and care for her. The new Conservatory space has enabled more quiet spaces 2 gather and chat especially for relatives visiting residents. Residents are caring towards each other to.

Overall Experience

Avenue House is a wonderful and caring home. My mother has been a resident for just over a year and during this time we have experienced a big improvement to her mental health. The staff are marvellous and the daily activity list on offer is varied and fun. My Mum loves living at Avenue House and as a family member, it is so reassuring that she gets excellent care and attention. The management are friendly and approachable and I would highly recommend Avenue House to anyone looking for a safe and welcoming residential home for a loved one.
