Review from James A (Son of Resident) published on 31 July 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

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

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 Avenue

On 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

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.

Reply from kelly brown, Director of NUrsing and Clinical Services at The Avenue

Review from philip A (Son of Resident) published on 29 August 2017 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

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 Avenue

Thank 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

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.
