Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.
Reply from Jan Hunstone, Regional Manager at Avonleigh GardensThank you so much for your positive feedback. It is great to hear your mother-in-law has settled so well at the home and enjoying herself. The team led by the Home Manager are a passionate team who strive to ensure that every resident has as a good quality of life as possible. Thank you once again

It's good to find a home of this level and the care given by all the staff looking after my mother is outstanding.
Everyone really helped in settling her in and looking after her.
It's a difficult time when this happens but they help every step of the way.

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.
Reply from Abi Warley, Digital Marketing Assistant at Avonleigh GardensThank you so much for your amazing feedback!

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.

After Mum had a very bad experience in previous care, choosing Mum's forever home where she could be well supported with her advanced vascular dementia, was not an easy task. However, from the moment we walked into Avonleigh Gardens, we knew we need not worry. Mum was only there a short while, even
so, all members of the team (whatever level) made it their business to make Mum comfortable, secure, and looked after with dignity. It was evident everyone truly cared and were doing a job they wanted to, rather than it being just a job. I cannot thank the team enough for everything they did for Mum, especially the last 48 hours of her life, where everyone made it their business to also look after me and our family and friends. Nothing was too much trouble. She passed in a calm, caring, and loving environment, for which I am eternally grateful. I would not hesitate to recommend this care home to anyone thinking of placing their family member in their trust, you will not be disappointed.
Reply from Jan Hunstone, Regional Manager at Avonleigh GardensThank you so much for taking the time to write this amazing review. We also would like to pass on our condolences from the wider Dovehaven family for your sad loss. I am very pleased to hear though that the staff and manager went above and beyond to ease your anxiety and burden at this most difficult time. I have passed on your comments to the manager to share with her staff time. Once again thank you.

My mother has been in their care for about three years. During that time, she looked at Avonleigh as her home and the staff as friends. Unfortunately, Mum has just died, aged 99 years and 9 months. I cannot speak highly enough of the esteem I hold the staff of Avonleigh. She lived and died with dignity,
with a friend next to her, in her own bed and in her own home.

My mum has been a resident of Avonleigh Gardens for the last 5 years. She has always been very happy here the staff are amazing always going above and beyond regardless of job title always being treated with the utmost respect. My mum also loves her food and she never has any complaints often commenting
on the gorgeous cakes. I call in the home nearly every day and I'm always made to feel welcome and greeted with a smile. One day last week I called in and my mum was very anxious. She was sat with a member of management who had taken time out of her busy day just to sit and have a chat and reassure her. Nothing is too much trouble a this lovely home.
Reply from Yvonne Reilly-Cooper, Home Manager at Avonleigh GardensThank you for your very kind comments, staff will be thrilled. Mum is a pleasure to look after, and each staff member knows that on certain days all she needs is that bit of extra reassurance. Your Mum is part of our Avonleigh Family.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.957)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.957) 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 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.957 for Avonleigh Gardens is calculated as follows: ( (402 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 417 Ratings = 4.957
  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 35 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 35 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.
