Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mum sadly had to move from Park Avenue's sister home in April as they were closing down. It was such a worrying time and we really didn't think we would find a home as great as the home she was in. How wrong we were, head office assured us they would look after Mum and assist us as a family with
the move, they went above and beyond and Mum moved without a hitch. She settled in immediately and on our first visit, a few days later, she was clearly very happy. As Mum has dementia it was a real worry she would find the move difficult and take some time to settle in, but she didn't and I believe that is all down to the staff at the home. Everybody we have met have been fantastic and so caring, they treat Mum as if she has lived there for years. We are so grateful that Mum is able to call Park Avenue her home and feel relieved knowing she is well looked after. A big thank you to the manager and her team for their outstanding care and compassion.

My wife has been a resident at Park Avenue since 2016. She is looked after by them very professionally but also with great kindness and sympathy.
The management and staff are professionally very competent but also friendly and positive at all times.

My mother had to be moved from her previous home while lockdown restrictions were in place, we were not able to see the home but the manager sent us pictures and a small video. Since my mother has been a resident of Park Avenue I can't speak highly enough of the care she has received, we receive regular
updates on her welfare, all the staff that we have met are all so friendly, the manager is also amazing always trying to improve and enhance the residents' wellbeing.

My Mum has been at this home for over 2 years now and it has been an absolute Godsend.
She is so well looked after and the staff are wonderful. The communication from the manager is spot on and we have been able to keep in touch, throughout the pandemic, via regular video calls that are always graciously
arranged by the lovely nurses. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.

Mum stayed at Park Avenue initially for 4 weeks respite and is now a permanent resident. From the first enquiry, the communication and support has been outstanding. The rooms are beautiful and spotlessly clean. All the staff I have met have been caring and friendly. Mum has settled well, says the food
is very nice and enjoys the activities. Would not hesitate to recommend it to others.

The staff went way beyond what one would have expected to help my wife and I to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. It made our day and I think possibly got my wife to remember who I was. What wonderful staff, it made me feel part of the home and helped to make me realise that she is being cared
for in a most loving way. My thanks to one and all.

Our dear mum moved into Park Avenue early January and my sister and I have been extremely happy with the care and love she has received from everyone, especially in these difficult Covid times. All the staff are very approachable and informative regarding Mum's care, and we look forward to having more
access as lockdown eases and she embarks on the next stage of her life within the very comfortable surroundings of Park Avenue. Our Mum is never stressed or upset when we leave after our visit and talks about the new friends she has made and what has been happening. It is a great comfort to my sister and I that she is happy and makes us realise that we took the right decision when we chose Park Avenue.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum moved into Park Avenue in August 2020. It was in the middle of the pandemic and as a family, we were all anxious and worried as to whether she would settle or not.
From the moment she arrived the manager and staff have done everything they can to ensure she is safe, happy and well cared for.
They
are always so kind and welcoming.
Mum recently celebrated her 90th birthday and the staff made sure she had a special day by decorating the lounge with banners and balloons and even baked her a lovely cake.
Mum always tells me how lovely everyone is and how they are all so kind to her.
Whenever I visit it is a pleasure to see Mum looking so well and I always leave feeling confident that she is safe and happy.
I would highly recommend Park Avenue.

Each of my parents has been a resident at this care home individually. They provide professional, competent support, showing compassion and human kindness to residents. Their communication to families is excellent and their respect for staff is wonderful. This is a well run, happy, healthy environment
offering good nursing, clean rooms and excellent activity options. They have managed Covid restrictions well.

My mother in law has vascular dementia and she has been in the excellent care of Park Avenue since December 2018. She is extremely well cared for, with an excellent meal plan, always clean, with a room nicer than mine. Throughout the pandemic, the home has been incredible, fantastic communication, taking
fantastic care of her and keeping us informed if they have any concerns. The Manager and the team are all first-rate professionals, every member of staff friendly and welcoming, from the lady on reception, the cleaners and catering staff. Total respect for the job that you guys do. Cannot recommend Park Avenue well enough.

So amazed with the whole set up of Park Avenue from the reception staff up to management even the lovely member who looks after the maintenance. Every single person has been amazing so caring and gone above and beyond to settle my dad. Dad had to move into Park Avenue in October 2020 due to Lewy body
dementia and vascular and it was so hard to admit he needed this care. We were in the middle of a pandemic and the care home went above and beyond to settle Dad and reassure us. Thank you to all of you.

My husband has Lewy bodies and vascular dementia and he has been a resident at Park Avenue for 6 months. Such awful times with the pandemic and stress not being able to be with him. The home has done a fantastic job of making sure we are both looked after. His carers and staff are so thoughtful and
have made sure he has all he needs. The home is well run, can’t thank them enough.

We could no longer give our mum the experienced care and pain relief she needed from home. This was a difficult thing to admit to ourselves, but from the moment I spoke with the manager at Park Avenue, I had a gut instinct this was the place for mum. Fortunately, she got to spend the last 5-days of
her life in this amazing care home; our only regret is she did not get to appreciate that where she was is a wonderful, homely, happy place to be. Every single person who cared for Mum in her last few days did with expertise, compassion, kindness and respect. We are so thankful the home allowed us with exemplary Covid measures to be by her bedside the last few days. I can only imagine what loved ones of the residents are going through with the current restrictions, but I hope it brings some comfort that what I witnessed there is nothing, but love, within a true family environment. The manager's support goes above and beyond, and her and her team are angels, and we will be forever grateful to them.

My grandad spent the last month's of his life at Park Avenue care home. The place itself is lovely, calm and clean and felt like a home away from home. It was a daunting prospect for him and the rest of our family especially with the concerns surrounding covid. The staff did absolutely everything to
make him feel at home and relaxed, whilst providing us with the comfort at every opportunity that he was being looked after to the highest standard. We were able to regularly Skype with him and they had facilities to allow safe contact-free visits with my nan. Everyone treated him with the utmost respect and humility and it was lovely to hear from them about their conversations with him about cherished past times. The staff are an absolute credit to the place and we are eternally grateful as a family for their efforts through such a difficult time.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.977)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.977) out of 10 for Park Avenue Care Home 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.977 for Park Avenue Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (127 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.977
  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 Park Avenue Care Home is based on 11 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 51 registered maximum number of service users is 10.2, which has been reached with 11 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.

Charlotte Goodfellow

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2019

Charlotte qualified as an Adult Registered Nurse from the University of Southampton in 2014 and began her nursing career in an Accident and Emergency Department. Whilst she loved the excitement and adrenaline of working an A&E, she found herself wanting to spend more time with her patients and their families. So, she decided to discover what other avenues were available outside of the acute hospital setting.


In March 2019, Charlotte joined Park Avenue as a Bank Nurse, and found this new direction exceptionally satisfying. In October 2019, Charlotte took up the position of Deputy Manager at Park Avenue Care Home, before moving to a leadership capacity in a sister home in November 2020. Now, she has returned to Park Avenue as Home Manager, and looks forward to partnering with the people who live in our homes, their families and friends.
