Avondene has a Review Score of 9.2 (9.167) out of 10, based on 3 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Avondene has 11 reviews.
All staff are friendly, welcoming and a pleasure to be around. Mum loves it. Lots of activities to do. Lovely comfortable, friendly care home. Thank you from the whole family. A pleasure to visit.
In the past year mum experienced a stroke then broke her leg which resulted in mobility issues. Mum also has short term memory loss due to dementia.
During her stay she was supported to mobilise safely, the group activities offered supported her core strength and coordination whilst having fun and socialising which was great to see. Medical needs were dealt with immediately and relayed to family. The residents we met appeared to be settled and content which gave us reassurance. Mum is happy to return for respite care again in the future.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We look forward to seeing your Mum again in the future. Merry Christmas to you all.
The staff are extremely caring and go above & beyond to treat their residents respectfully and as individuals.
The extensive range of weekly activities provided is truly commendable. & shows how the home endeavours & suceeds in providing entertainment & stimulation.
I am particularly impressed also by the manager's communication & that of her wonderful team.
There are regular residents' meetings and always a monthly informative newsletter.
Cleanliness is excellent, rooms always fresh and tidy. Personal care is always maintained, hairdresser, chiropody services regularly available.
Accompanied medical appointments provide great peace of mind, knowing when I'm not available, my loved one is in very capable hands.
Avondene is quite simply the very best place for my loved one.
Warm and friendly environment, supporting residents to enjoy life lots of attention and activities, such as quizzes, bingo playing board games outings.
Mum has improved both physically and cognitively and enjoys the company of the other residents.
Excellent food choice, each day different menu to choose from.
Thank you for your lovely comments which I will pass on to the care team. Mum has settled in extremely well and it is our pleasure to care for her.
My mum has been a resident at Avondene since February 2023. From day one the care and attention she has had has been exceptional. She is really happy living there and is very comfortable in her room, which has a sunny outlook and view. Since my mum has been there she has made good friends with all of the staff and other residents. All of her family are very pleased with the care she is getting from a very professional and caring team.
Thank you for this lovely review. It is an absolute pleasure to care for your mum, and I will pass on your kind comments to all staff.
Avondene was home for my mother for nearly six years. During her time at Avondene she was cared and looked after extremely well. My mother couldn't have wished for a better place to have spent her last years. The staff were and are so caring and attentive. Mum made so many friendships with the wonderful staff. Thank you for your compassion keep up the good work.
Thank you for your lovely words. It was our absolute pleasure to care for Mum over the years and all staff were extremely fond of her. Mum always had a smile on her face and was happy to join in with everything that was going on here.
My mum went into this care home for respite care in March, she received a very warm welcome when I wheeled her through the door, which as well as helping Mum to feel welcomed, put my mind at ease. Mum settled in well and quickly, I was allowed to visit whenever I liked, always with a cup of tea and the staff treated Mum like their own. Staff had time to talk to Mum, made her laugh, painted her nails, and looked out for her at all times. The manager phoned me whenever she needed to confirm something, always had Mum's best interests at heart, and chased professionals when she felt things weren't happening as they should. Mum wasn't in the home for too long as she had advanced cancer, during the last few days of her life they treated her with dignity, care, and respect for which I was very grateful.
Thank you so much for a lovely review! It's our pleasure to have had Mum stay with us!
The care she has received has been exceptional. All the staff are lovely, kind and very caring - we could not ask for more.
We had a lovely Jubilee afternoon party, and the resident's families were all invited.
They have quizzes, entertainment and exercises that she absolutely loves.
All in all, a great choice as Mum is extremely happy.
Thank you for a lovely review. Your comments will be passed on to all of the team.
Absolutely great care home, I could not thank the staff for all the amazing work that they are doing with the residents. I would definitely recommend this care home to anyone in the area. Beautiful area, cosy home and a fantastic manager! Well done!
My Mum has been a resident of Avondene for 11 years and received such wonderful loving care through difficult and worrying times. So much so she has reached her 100th birthday thanks to the kind, professional and understanding way the entire staff work together to give all residents their 101% attention to their needs. I am so grateful to the team making Mum one of their family, nothing is too much trouble.
Thank you for such a lovely review. It is a pleasure to care for mum, and it was lovely to see her celebrating her 100th birthday with family and staff.
Avondene staff are truly wonderful. The Jubilee afternoon they presented for residents and their visitors was a credit to them all. As guests, we were waited on with lovely home-cooked food and cakes and glasses of Prosecco, wine, tea, and coffee. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming after so long with Covid restrictions. You are a brilliant team who has the care and welfare of your residents in your hearts. My mum who is a resident with you has quoted "I'm so glad I came to Avondene, I am looked after so well by such lovely staff". Thank you all.
Thank you so much for a lovely review, Helen! It was a pleasure and much fun was had by all. We are glad you enjoyed yourself and we look forward to hosting more events in the near future now that covid restrictions have eased!
