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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my relative has been on respite at Avonleigh, we have noticed a massive difference in her mental well-being, personal hygiene and overall health. 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. Fabulous care and a fabulous environment! Management have a lot of involvement with the residents and are always around to help - there is nothing they don't know which I find incredible - I would recommend Avonleigh Gardens to anybody.

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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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 brighter
and happier than she has been in a very long time. She said she had loved the care and attention she has been receiving. I knew my mother was at a stage where she needed more care than she was receiving at home so, I asked her if she would want me to apply for her to remain at Avonleigh Gardens to which she said yes please. In the 4 weeks my mum has been here, the staff I have met have all been so pleasant to speak to and continually ask if everything is ok to which the answer has always been yes apart from, mum likes Bran Flakes which they did not have but they went and bought some for her. Her room is bright and airy with everything she needs.
Thank you for taking care of my mum.

Review from M J (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
I don't feel the staff have an adequate understanding of dementia. On one occasion, I overheard the manager speaking disrespectfully to a member of staff, unaware that I was behind the bedroom door.


During some of my visits, our mum was not dressed appropriately and was often left to her own devices

without proper support. The bedrooms are very dated and in need of refurbishment, and the furniture is also worn and tired.


The food provided was bland, with very little variety or choice. I also noticed that staff spent a significant amount of time on their devices. On top of this, one senior member of staff - described by my sister as having short hair - was extremely rude to my mother, which my sister personally overheard. Our Mum will not be returning for further respite.

All the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming at Avonleigh. Lots of smiling faces every time I visit! My friend has settled really well and feels comfortable in his room and the communal areas of the home. He is very well cared for and is happy. They often have special events/days where family
and friends are warmly welcomed in to spend time with their loved ones. It very much has a family feel about it.

Review from J D (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.868)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.868) 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 4.9 out of 5 from 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.868 for Avonleigh Gardens is calculated as follows: ( (368 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 393 Ratings = 4.868
  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 32 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 32 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.
