I am confident that my mum is safe and cared for. We had to move her from her home quite quickly due to a rapid deterioration in her sight and increasing anxiety/disorientation. This was not an easy thing to do but the manager and staff went out of their way to help make this as smooth as possible. Mum has not found it easy to adjust but any issue we have raised (such as lighting in the bathroom) has been taken on board and dealt with. The activities manager has tried to get mum involved and the music therapist has made a special arrangement to devote some 1 to 1 time with mum to tap into her music skills. There are one or two areas we think would make life less stressful for mum such as; care staff understanding problems caused by a lack of sight and adjusting how they respond to her needs (I have suggested that the sensory team would be able to offer some training in this) and a fully functioning chaplaincy service. I have found the majority of the staff to be friendly and helpful.
Thank you for submitting this review. I shall pass on your lovely comments to the team. We aim to ensure that we offer the best support we can and work with our residents and family members to enhance a sense of well-being. We fully understand that the adjustment period can be difficult, and varies for each individual resident. It is a pleasure to care for Mum here at Avonleigh Gardens.
I cannot praise Avonleigh Gardens and the staff enough. Years ago my Dad was a resident there and the care and love he received was instrumental in our decision to put Mum in there 5 years ago (she's now 95 years old and very frail). The staff have treated Mum with care and respect and been so...
I cannot praise Avonleigh Gardens and the staff enough. Years ago my Dad was a resident there and the care and love he received was instrumental in our decision to put Mum in there 5 years ago (she's now 95 years old and very frail). The staff have treated Mum with care and respect and been so patient with her (even though she would try the patience of a Saint at times!) They are also great at keeping us informed and up-to-date on how Mum is doing. The home is lovely and welcoming, very clean, the food is lovely and the residents are so well looked after. It's also a testament to the way the home is run that they have had very very few cases of COVID throughout the pandemic. The staff are all doing a great job and we would like to send them our thanks and appreciation from all the family.
Thank you very much for your extremely kind comments. The staff all do a wonderful job and they will be thrilled with the lovely comments you have expressed. It was our pleasure to care for Dad many years ago and to continue to care for Mum now.

I have been extremely happy whilst staying here and found the staff very caring, thoughtful and friendly. I thank them all.
Thank you for your kind words; it was a pleasure to look after you whilst you recovered from your operation. We hope you are keeping well.

Although it was an emotional and upsetting time when my mum went into care, the staff at Avonleigh Gardens have been absolutely brilliant in helping my mum settle in, feel comfortable and relax in the friendly environment. They were also very reassuring to my family. During the Covid pandemic, we’ve managed to communicate and see my mum via FaceTime and Avonleigh have been very obliging in helping us stay in touch. I’ve found the home very efficient on Covid regulations but still maintaining a caring and friendly attitude through these difficult times. I only have admiration for the home and staff. Fantastic team.
We see all our residents as part of our family at Avonleigh, which in turn includes all our relatives. I will ensure your kind comments are passed on to the team.

The staff have been meticulous in following protocols to prevent spread and all the while caring for the residents and each other with compassion and good cheer. A positive atmosphere is one of the things that make this such a good care home.
Thank you for your kind comments regarding the staff and our home. I am really proud of all the staff; they have been tremendous throughout, which has been a very difficult time for all.
I brought my Mum to Avonleigh on a strong recommendation from a friend who had her Mother happily living there. We have never regretted our choice. Due to a series of illnesses and an unfortunate house fire she had spent quite some time in and out of care homes, none of which were comparable to...
The food is outstanding (my Mum can be quite picky, but she loves it). She is very happy and has made some lovely friends. This brings me peace of mind.
Many thanks for your extremely kind comments about the staff at Avonleigh, we are delighted that your Mum is settled and part of the Avonleigh family. I know that the kitchen staff will liaise with your Mum over her food. Mum as built up an excellent relationship with our Activities Co-ordinator. All the staff have been a credit throughout COVID-19 and I am very proud to work alongside them.
My nan has lived at Avonleigh Gardens for several years. The care and compassion she always receives is heartwarming, especially under these new Coronavirus rules. I've been able to have a garden visit and I know my nan is being cared for in an amazing way. Thank you, everyone at Avonleigh Gardens....

Many thanks for your extremely kind comments regarding the care that your Nan receives. We are so pleased you have been to enjoy garden visits with her. I will share your comments with the staff, they really are appreciative when family members take the time to acknowledge all their hard work and compassion.
This home is absolutely amazing! The staff go above and beyond for the residents! My grandma is so happy and content! She has built some amazing friendships both with other residents and staff members! The activities they put on for the residents are excellent. The summer fairs and Christmas fairs...
I always come away feeling very blessed that my grandma is receiving so much love, support and care!
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments, it is very heart-warming to know that you feel that way. Your grandma as made so many lovely friends and they enjoy each other’s company.
I think you all are doing a brilliant job with my wife and all the residents. You all deserve medals. Reading the reviews, I think what other people have written is what I'm thinking too. So thanks again.

My Mum has been a resident at Avonleigh Gardens for nearly 2 years and I can truly say that she is extremely well cared for by the very professional and caring staff. She has severe mobility problems so requires a significant amount of assistance with all her personal care which is always provided...
I highly recommend Avonleigh Gardens.
We would all like to thank you for your fantastic comments regarding everyone at Avonleigh. It is very heart-warming to read, especially in what have been uncertain times. The whole team are working above and beyond.
A wonderful team of carers, kitchen staff, admin staff, cleaning and housekeeping staff and a pastoral team who all work together to provide a warm-hearted, family atmosphere. My grandad’s care is topnotch, thank you all.

Mum enjoys the outstanding food, which is both delicious and nutritious,
During the coronavirus pandemic, I am reassured by the measures that have been put in place to protect residents. The staff are working really hard, in very difficult circumstances to make the residents' experiences as positive as possible. The staff make it very easy for me to speak to my mum on the phone.

My mother-in-law would have been at Avonleigh Gardens (her 2nd home) 5 years in June. She came on leaps and bounds, she was treated with so much care, dignity and respect. She was always dressed smartly. She enjoyed having the banter with all the staff (there are a few special ones!) In her final few weeks, it was really hard for us as a family because of the COVID 19 and lockdown but once again all the staff were brilliant and pulled all the stops out and we were able to her till the end, which we are eternally grateful. Thank you all so much from all mum's family.
Thank you for your very complimentary comments; it was a pleasure to look after such a delightful lady who was full of character, she has certainly been missed. All the staff are a credit to Avonleigh.
They provide excellent care for the residents and go over and above what is expected of them. They have risen to this recent challenge (the lockdown situation with COVID) in...
We equally understand the stress and pressure put onto your staff and volunteers at Avonleigh Gardens because not only have you taken the place of our loved ones' family you have equally got families of your own and loved ones just the same as us and I would like you to know how much we understand this and appreciate it. You are doing our loved ones so proud. They are being catered for with amazing food and chef specials and our family are so grateful. Thanks.

We are so very grateful to Avonleigh Gardens for the care shown to my father. Staff there have responded to all our requests with kindness and understanding. As Dad settled, lovely relationships were built with members of staff, the Chaplain and volunteers. He appreciated the various activities and the interaction with others at those times. In particular, the weekly service has meant a lot to him. Dad has relished the quality of food, which has been consistently excellent. As lockdown happened, increased communication with families became a vital issue to sort and Avonleigh have sorted it. We are reassured by our daily contact with him.
We are delighted with your very kind review; the staff are extremely good at building bonds with our residents and family members. Our weekly service is a great asset to a lot of our residents, staff and families, along with the importance of good quality food. I will ensure all the staff are made...

It is reassuring that you have found the daily contact with Dad a comfort.
I am so grateful to all carers and staff for the care they continue to provide in these very challenging times. Also extremely grateful for the recent access to video calls; which have made a massive difference for both me and my mum.

One of the most impressive care homes I have visited. Great care is taken of the residents by the staff and it is apparent that all the staff know the residents well and respect their preferences and choices so long as they are in their best interests. Everyone goes the extra mile to do all they can for the residents in their care. As the nation grapples with COVID-19 the staff at Avonleigh Gardens have the added burden of keeping themselves, the residents and their families safe and this has necessitated limiting visitors and the extra contact this involves with friends and relatives. They do this without us ever feeling we are ‘being a nuisance’. The staff are quite simply fantastic and we are just so grateful that our friend is able to be part of the Avonleigh family. Thank you.
Thank you for your very thoughtful and kind comments. All the staff have been overwhelmed by the kind words and gifts we have received from people we don’t even know. They take each day with a brand new smile and work as a team. I feel very privileged to be part of the Avonleigh family.
We are always greeted by friendly and understanding staff who...
It must be so very hard for a caring staff to experience the worries and concerns both for their loved ones at home and also at Avonleigh Gardens. This is a level of professional and personal competence which we will always remember.
Thank you for your kind comments; the staff have been exceptional in these very difficult times. We are so pleased that you have been able to still see Dad via the video calling. We are all looking forward to all our residents being able to see their loved ones in person.

This home has been brilliant for my dad, particularly since the virus lockdown stopped actual visits. All the staff are really caring, and nothing seems too much trouble. They have been really helpful, facilitating phone and face time calls. Before the lockdown, there were lots of activities for residents to enjoy which will hopefully get going again in due course.
We are all very grateful for your lovely comments; the staff have gone above and beyond through this trying time. Hopefully, we will all be back to normal soon.
The facilities and service offered by the staff are excellent. They really do care for the residents. Mum is suffering from advanced dementia and I'm really happy that she is in the best place.
