Since the new manager has been at Park Avenue, it has changed so much for the better. She informs you of what if happening which is better, always ensures if everything is OK with me or my dad. I'm just so happy with everything and have recommended Park Avenue to another person who needs another home.

The staff and management at this home are excellent. The home is currently undergoing refurbishment and is looking bright and fresh. The activities coordinator is dedicated to ensuring all residents were active or bed-bound are engaged. Communication is excellent at both shop floor "staff" level and
at management level.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This home has superb and caring Staff. Our Mum is in a newly refurbished, very clean room and we are impressed by the diligence of the staff.


On arrival from the hospital - mum could not walk or feed herself but within two months, she has become more alert and is beginning to connect with people

and take a few physical steps. This is due to the care and attention of the wonderful staff and care home Management Team. We look forward to a summer of activities and increased enjoyment on our mother's part.
Thank you, from all the family.

Review from Jill C (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 September 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother moved into this home several months ago, I became unhappy with the care my mother was receiving as the Manager who was in place refused to answer my complaints, would avoid seeing me to discuss issues and was rude and aggressive. One clear example was when we had a meeting scheduled, the
manager text me to say she had to go to the shop and could not make the meeting. Another time she refused to come out of her office to discuss ongoing issues with my mothers care.


I was about to move my mother out of the home, but since a new Senior Manager, a Director I believe, has now taken over the running of this home to assist with improving it - which was very much needed, she has listened to my issues, resolved my complaints, is very professional with a kind sympathetic manner.


There is also a big difference in the performance of the staff, they are more courteous, willing to assist and look smart, the new receptionist is very pleasant - a lovely refreshing change.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
This is a well managed, modern and bright care home on three floors. Staff are always welcoming and have a caring attitude. An activities coordinator has recently been appointed and there are now more opportunities for the residents to join in, although this will place more demands on the care staff.
All in all I feel my mother has been well looked after in a safe and secure environment.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.954)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.954) 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.974 for Park Avenue Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (115 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 117 Ratings = 4.974
  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 4.98 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Park Avenue Care Home is based on 10 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. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.2 = 0.98
  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

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.
