Review from Cherry H (Wife of Resident) published on 4 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband has been a resident since December 2025. He is happy, contented and extremely well cared for. I have nothing but praise for all the staff at this nursing home. Every member of staff is caring, kind and empathetic to my husband and also to me (his wife).
This home is clean and bright. The
food is very good with choices. Drinks are distributed regularly as are comfort breaks for residents. My husband's ensuite room is excellent. His clothes are washed and dried as needed and with care.
There are regular activities. Reggie and Ronnie, the homes pet guinea pigs make regular appearances for the residents to pet if they wish.
All the staff are very knowledgeable and any questions I ask are answered promptly and honestly.
I can visit him whenever I want to.
I am really pleased my husband is being looked after at this home. I can leave, after my visits, knowing he is safe and being looked after with care and kindness.
Thank you all so much
Reply from Kim Kelly, Bed Management at The AvenueThank you Cherry for your kind words and giving us the privilege to care for your loved one.
Reggie & Ronnie will get extra treats for a job well done.

Review from James A (Son of Resident) published on 31 July 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Avenue looked after my mother for six years very well. She was not an easy resident but the staff cared for her with warmth, dignity and love. She moved several times in the nine months before coming to The Avenue and the other homes could not cope. The family was so relieved when we saw how The
Avenue cared for her.
She regained the weight she had lost and recovered her spirit. We are very grateful to all at The Avenue.

Review from Robert M (Husband of Resident) published on 26 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The Avenue looked after my wife for just under 8 years. The staff were excellent and helpful.
Things to do in the day time. They looked after my wife at the end and they would keep us going to get through the bad times.
The care is still going on as they are still helping me through the bad times
and thank the staff still for all their help.
Reply from Kelly Brown, Director of Nursing at The AvenueOn behalf of St Matthews I would like to further extend our condolences on the sad passing of your wife. It is always good to hear positive feedback form those that use our services and we will share this with the staff team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Nan has been here over a year now and myself and family couldn't be happier with the care she receives. My Nan has improved 100% since being here and I can't thank them enough for the help and support they have shown to not only my Nan but to me and my family too.

Review from philip A (Son of Resident) published on 29 August 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident at The Avenue for the past 7 years and has received excellent care during her time there. The staff at The Avenue have always been very friendly and supportive. Mum had continued receiving wonderful care until her recent passing.
At this time the staff showed exceptional
care and compassion to my mother and also to us.
We would like to take this opportunity to say a very big thank you to the manager and all her team who have been involved in my mothers care.
Reply from Kelly Brown, Direcor of Nursing and Clinical Services at The AvenueThank you so much for leaving such a positive review. It is always a pleasure to hear that those individuals and their families that have accessed our services have received the best possible care. We will share your positive comments with the team at the Avenue. We would, however, like to pass on our condolences to the family for your recent loss.

Review from Frances G (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was admitted to The Avenue nearly five years ago. She is bipolar and had been suffering repeated periods of very severe depression. The staff at The Avenue have had to deal with difficult behaviour over the years and also, as she got older, many physical problems. The staff at The Avenue
have succeeded in settling mum's mental health so that she is now stable and there has been no return of the severe depression. The staff at The Avenue do a very difficult job with care and endless patience and I cannot thank them enough for taking care of mum so well.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.156)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.156) out of 10 for The Avenue is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 5.000 for The Avenue is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.156 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Avenue is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 = 3
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.4 = 0.156
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
