Avalon Nursing and Dementia Home

Avalon Nursing Home has continued to keep our loved ones safe during this difficult pandemic with strict precautions in place. We are kept up to date with a regular newsletter and encouraged to contact the friendly staff should we need reassurance or to talk. They have a website showing photos of activities still continuing to take place within the home which is great to see. Also individual photos are sent with messages so we can feel some comfort in knowing they are well.

Cannot fault anything at the home.

The team at Avalon have taken good care of our Mum, she actually looks in better health now, after about 6 months in their care, than she did prior to moving into the care home.

My grandad is happy in this home and is looked after very well.

My father seems happy in this home and I believe he receives a good level of care.

It would be very hard to fault the care, interest, affection, concern or respect shown to my mother in law by the team at Avalon. I would recommend to anyone with elderly relatives requiring round the clock care in a warm 'family' atmosphere.

My mother was urgently taken to this home, having been a resident of 2 care homes - and in one of which she suffered abuse, it was decided that she needed nursing care at 100 years of age. Her morale was very low, she was frail and her appetite was non-existent, so her weight loss continued. She also had a very painful leg ulcer. I live abroad and it was so distressing to have to organise her welfare from another country. Avalon has, quite simply, saved her. She is happy, she is thriving, they healed her ulcer and could not make any more effort than they do to make her days happy. The matron and her team work wonders and strive daily to improve the quality of the care.

Overall a lovely home, very well run, with staff who are kind and compassionate.

The home seems well run, clean and friendly. However, a number of the staff are from abroad and my mother has difficulty understanding what they say.
