I honestly cannot praise this care home and its staff enough. My mum is living with Alzheimer's, and knowing she is surrounded by such caring, patient and compassionate staff gives our family so much reassurance. What really stands out is the effort they make to keep the residents active, engaged and involved. There are always activities going on, with staff encouraging residents to take part rather than simply sitting around. From games and crafts to music, entertainment and different activities throughout the week, there is always something for them to look forward to. For someone living with Alzheimer's, I think this is incredibly important. Keeping their minds stimulated, giving them things to enjoy and creating opportunities for social interaction can make such a difference to their day. The staff are absolutely amazing. They are kind, understanding and patient, and you can genuinely see that they care about the residents as individuals.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We're so pleased to hear that you and your family feel reassured by the care and support your mum receives. It's wonderful to know our activities are helping residents stay active, engaged and connected.
Dad has been at Avonleigh gardens for around 5 weeks and he has settled in extremely well .

I'm hoping to get involved with the upcoming fun day in August and hopefully can help to raise funding for activities etc .. Rachel the manager , and James are really approachable and they've definitely helped to put me at ease with the whole transition with Dad .
Thank you for your lovely review. We're delighted your dad has settled in so well, and it's lovely to hear how supported you've felt throughout the transition. We're glad Avonleigh Gardens feels like one big family. We look forward to seeing you at the fun day in August.
Great staff. Kind, supportive and cares for my uncle the way I would want. My uncle is very settled here and likes all the staff. The place is clean, comfortable, and they go above and beyond.

My brother and I visit weekly. Mum always seems happy. The team provide good support to her. The facilities are good. The only matters I would raise are - Since her fall, there is too much equipment in her room, which could be a fall risk - Her hearing aids are always lost (3 pairs at least), no hearing affects dementia. They should treat hearing aids as meds. Controlled on and off with secure storage. Apart from that, all good.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear your mum is happy, well supported by the team, and that you're happy with the facilities. We also appreciate your constructive comments regarding the equipment in her room and the management of her hearing aids. Your...

My Father recently spent 2 weeks at Avonleigh following an accident involving major trauma and multiple surgical operations. His stay provided a bridge between the hospital and independent living, allowing him to recover and recuperate sufficiently to return home.
His room and the shared facilities were bright, clean and well maintained, the meals were varied and the team ensured his medical and dietary requirements were met at all times, both day and night.
My Father interacted with a broad cross section of the Avonleigh team, all of whom supported him and ensured that his needs, both medical and pastoral, were met throughout his stay.
During his stay I met with members from the management, day care and night care teams. Each one was professional, helpful and engaged in his ongoing care experience. They demonstrated a dedication to their field of work which provided me with confidence in the care facility.
A big thank you to the Avonleigh team for helping in my Father's recovery.

We visited Avonleigh Gardens without an appointment and was shown around the different areas everyone we passed was polite. Right away we knew this was the place for mum, when mum was in Avonleigh we couldn't have asked by better care and support (even to ourselves the family). Every member of staff was polite caring introduced themselves on first meeting. Each one took price in what they did. The home is a credit to the management and all the staff.
Thank you for your lovely review. We're so pleased Avonleigh Gardens felt right for your mum and that you experienced such caring and welcoming support from the team.
The care home is exceptional. Nothing is too much trouble. Staff are friendly and approachable. Though my mum has only been here a short period of time, the care and support shown towards my family is outstanding.

It is so nice to see the care that she is receiving. All of the staff make it feel so homely. No matter their job role, they all work together and go above and beyond.

As the daughter of a respite user i can only comment and review on the days my 93 year old mother was in there, I can't thank Rachel and James enough for their prompt and quick actions getting my mum in at such short notice so i could still go on my holiday, the staff were friendly and treated mum with dignity and meet her needs as she had just had a fall, knowing that she was being cared for 24/7 as family it gave us peace of mind, she had three full meals a day she said it was good, the room was a lovely size and very comfortable for her, so once again Rachel thank you for your efficiency and making sure mums needs were meet at this very difficult time.

my mother was living alone at home with visiting day care. She has very limited mobility and forgetful. I arranged for her to stay in Avonleigh Gardens while i was away because I knew she would not be able to care for herself during the night hours. On my return from holiday, my mother was so much...
