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.

Thank you for your kind words and your 5* review, it's really appreciated.
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...
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.

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.
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 dad has settled in here at Avonleigh Gardens very well. Great food, great activities, my dad is happy and content here, the staff are brilliant, and I can't thank them enough for all they do for him,

Avonleigh is a wonderful care home, all the staff are very attentive and caring and are always willing to help my grandma. She has seemed so much happier whilst residing at Avoleigh, it is good to see her being social and enjoying the activities.

One of our main priorities is ensuring all of our residents are treated equally with a high quality level of care. It means a lot to us that you recommend this home to everyone.
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.
