The home and my dad's room is clean and well maintained, bright and cheerful. (It would be helpful to have more staff at times).

Staff have been supportive through difficult times. It is a very friendly environment and there is a good selection of activities for residents to participate in.
Staff recently made it possible for my mum to attend a family Christmas party at my house. We are so grateful for the care my mum received on the day. Being able to have my mum at home again was such an amazing feeling. It meant that relatives visiting could see her in a more familiar setting and at Christmas, this was really special.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review about the care your mum receives at Avery Mews. Reading your comments about Mum being able to get home for a Christmas party is extremely heartwarming.

They always appears to be some form of entertainment for the residents each week. Guests/visitors are always offered refreshments and served with a smile.
My father in law lives here. Staff are fantastic with him. He needs a lot of help and attention. Staff do this great. They also manage to divert him when he gets agitated and tries to go out alone.

Mum has struggled with her transition into full-time care but the staff have been very supportive in making mum welcome and feel safe.
A team of 3 carers per shift rather than 2 makes a significant difference to both staff and residents.

This was no one's fault, however, my friend only had 1 shower during her 2-week stay. Personal hygiene did not seem a high priority. My friend then seemed confused and paranoid. The management were wonderful when explaining these side effects.

I am so happy when I visit my sister to see she is happy and so well looked after. I feel Avery is the best place she could be now at nearly 90. She is now unable to look after herself and her husband of 62 years has sadly now passed away. As her dementia gets worse, it is sad to see her slipping away. But, with the love and care given at Avery she is able to smile. She is having a quality of life now, which we never expected. We feel the lovely staff at Avery have given her that. They bring out something in her we thought was lost - thank you!

Avery Mews is a very caring homely place, giving a very safe environment. My Mum in Law is very happy. She is well looked after by staff who are genuinely kind and caring. Nothing is too much trouble. The home is very much home from home. It is a well designed attractive home with good facilities. There are activities and outings. Lovely home cooked food and tasty cakes (mum's favourite bit). Avery was a stand out home when we were looking for the right place for Mum. It is not an easy thing to pass your loved ones into the care of others, but Avery was a very good choice. 1st Class!
