My dad has stayed at two other care homes in Suffolk that were more show homes than care homes. I found at Avocet Kayleigh and all the staff were so helpful, most caring and friendly. It cannot be an easy job at times, but nothing was too much trouble. I would say the care was outstanding. All the residents looked happy, well cared for and relaxed. There was no smell, and everything was very clean although some walls could of done with a paint! But it all made most homely. A pity was full and I couldn't get a permanent place for my dad but highly recommend if you can.
