I found Avocet Court a warm, welcoming environment. I could see it was committed to serve the needs of each individual, understanding the difficulties that increasing cognitive impairment brings. Placing someone you love in the care of someone else is a huge step but my questions were answered and I felt supported during this difficult time. It's a transition for my sister-in-law as well as us.
Thank you for taking the time to do such a lovely review we are always here to support you as well as your loved one , we will pass it on to our team member.
Mum spent just under a month at Avocet Court in an NHS funded reablement bed. The facilities were good if a little dated with a lovely bright and airy communal lounge and a large bedroom. On some occasions there was a lingering odour in the lounge. Mum was well fed but often left drinks untouched....
The reablement came to an early end as the therapists felt they could do no more for Mum. Within less than a week in a new care home Mum's mobility and continence have improved beyond our expectations, leaving us disappointed with the provision at Avocet Court.
My fathers first time going into a home. Myself and my family were so worried about leaving him. We should have never been worried! The staff are so lovely, the home is lovely and clean. My dad is having the best care.

Thank you Sally for your kind words and for taking the time to share your positive experience with us caring for your mum. We will share your positive feedback with our team on our Harlech community
My mum is happy and settled here, which is the most important thing to my sisters and I. While not the most modern care home, there is a constant programme of improvements taking place. The carers are fantastic, as is the activities coordinator. The food is excellent, good quality and plentiful.

My aunt died on 23rd January in your care. Her care with you over the past 7 years was very good. Care and communication with relatives was 9 out of 10. She loved her time with you and considered it her home.

On Wednesday 15th of January, I was visiting my mother and like several other residents, Mum had a nasty cough and felt very unwell. A very nice lady from housekeeping came into Mum's room and we had a lovely chat about how this lady puts out fat balls and bird seed and what she does in the garden area. My mum loves her garden at home so this really cheered Mum up after I left at 16.20 pm before tea arrived and I asked this lady to check on Mum for me, not only did she assist Mum with her meal, she was caring and patient and made Mum feel special and this morning the first thing Mum told me was how kind this lady had been. I believe anyone so caring should be made aware of how much this meant! Thank you.

My father-in-law came to respite care at Avocet Court Care Home from the hospital. All staff were prompt in meeting his needs, both physically, medically and emotionally. The communication from reception to nursing staff was exceptional. We felt that all staff were professional and friendly and we can see such an improvement in my father-in-law in all areas. Thank you so much.
Thank you for the lovely review and glad that father in law is so much better, we will pass the feedback on to our team.
When we arrived at Avocet Court Care Home we didn't know what to expect, we were welcomed with a warm reception and my mind was put at rest as this was our first time in a care home, it was a family decision. Thank you.

My brother tells me he was well treated at Acovert and he got on really well with the carers who were very caring. He sends them a very big thank you for their care. As his carer and next of kin living 4 1/2 hours drive away I found communication was sometimes difficult and was not always kept in the link, without me calling regularly. The major issue not being able to talk to my brother when his phone was not charged. Having said that the carers when contacted were always respectful and very caring of my brother which is the main thing. Thank you all.

At first, Mum was very scared about coming here because she had never experienced this situation before, by the time it was time for her to move on she would quite happily have kept here longer. The staff had been very kind to her and she felt at home with them. Through no fault of the staff as they were so busy there was sometimes a bit of a delay answering the call button but on the whole, everything was good.

I have been very pleased with the care that my husband has received during the year that he has lived in Powys House. He has been treated at all times with kindness, dignity and respect. All the staff have been warm and helpful to me and have given me time to speak to them when necessary. I have valued especially that every time there has been a problem, such as falling out of bed, even if no physical damage has resulted, I have been told about this by a phone call. This has enabled me to relax and has given me peace of mind. Very best wishes, a resident's wife.
