Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I recently visited several care homes for prospective place for my mother . None of them were a patch on Avonleigh Gardens. It is beautifully decorated so it looks more like a hotel than a care home . The gardens are large and easily accessible for the residents with plenty of benches scattered at different
locations in the garden. The staff are very vigilant in bringing out cushions and blankets when it's chilly and sun hats and sun screen and plenty of drinks in the warm weather.It's the little details that put Avonleigh above other homes. Home made cake is often given out for snacks as well
as for birthdays. A recent film afternoon offered popcorn to make the experience more realistic.I find it very reassuring that lost clothes and glasses/hearing aids are genuinely searched for and everything so far has been retrieved.I would highly recommend Avonleigh.

My mum has dementia and is a very challenging lady. She is partially sighted and hard of hearing, she is however mobile.
The staff are outstanding, they are kind and patient and work with us, the family, to help mum. Her room is beautiful and practical. We have personalised it and she believes that
she is staying in a hotel! The staff ensure that she remains hydrated by offering a variety of drinks that she enjoys. The food is appetizing and as mum has a southern appetite, they offer alternatives if there is nothing that she fancies.
The garden area is fantastic with decking areas, numerous chairs and benches that are placed to enable privacy or encourage integration and interaction.
Mum has been out on trips and when she's feeling grumpy, is allowed to be alone but is discreetly monitored. She occasionally joins in with activities but sometimes is just happy to wash up!
Choosing a care home is incredibly challenging, Avonleigh and its staff made the process much simpler. Fantastic.
Reply from Jan Hunstone, Regional Manager at Avonleigh Gardens

Thank you so much for your review. This means so much to the team within the home. They work hard to ensure that all their residents are cared for in a professional manner at all times. The manager and team should be very proud of their high standard of care.

My Mother-in-Law came to Avonleigh Gardens in December 2024 after an 11 week stay in hospital. We, as a family, were concerned as to whether we had made the right decision for her at the time, but can now honestly say that it has been the best decision we could have made for her.
Staff are always kind
and caring and take time to listen to residents when they are upset or confused.
Personal care and hygiene is completed with patience and understanding.
As a family, we are happy with all aspects of care given at Avonleigh.

Cannot fault this care home in any way. My father-in-law has been a resident since June this year and the care and support he gets from all the staff is second to none. He is treated with respect and dignity and also with joy and fun making it the best experience they can for him.
I would recommend
this care home to everyone who is looking for support for their loved ones.

I find the home to be well-maintained and extremely clean and comfortable. All the staff I have met are courteous and polite and make you feel that nothing is too much trouble. Overall I don't think you could find another home to rival the care and facilities that are available.

My father has been here now for just over 3 months and I cannot stress the difference in him. I've got my dad back to his happy self and I can rest easier. The entire staff are so lovely and helpful whilst remaining professional. The way they treat my dad is a credit to the home and the staff in general
- from management down. No one wants to end up in a care home but honestly, this is the best place for him to thrive and be supported. I cannot recommend this home enough.

My mum moved from a home she was very unhappy in, to Avon Leigh Gardens. It's an amazing care home. The management was so helpful and professional with her move. She has a lovely big room and it can be personalised as she wants. The caring staff are hardworking and very respectful to residents and relatives.
The home is beautifully kept in every aspect inside and out. We visit regularly and are always made welcome every member of staff has a very important role in my mum's care and they "all" carry out their roles with exceptional kindness and professionalism. Thank you so much.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.950)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.950) out of 10 for Avonleigh Gardens 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.950 for Avonleigh Gardens is calculated as follows: ( (287 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 299 Ratings = 4.95
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Avonleigh Gardens is based on 25 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 59 registered maximum number of service users is 11.8, which has been reached with 25 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
