My visit was on 16/06/23 after receiving a phone call the day before from a conscientious, polite young lady who was a carer, amongst other things, asking for Mum, a fan and to top up her money account. When I arrived, I met some new staff. Firstly, a bubbly, friendly, with a big smile receptionist who was very accommodating. When I asked if I could see the accounts manager, I was told that she had just gone into a meeting, but would I like a coffee and wait - I said thank you. Then, when I met the accounts manager, who took me to her office, where she came across as polite, professional and articulate, answering a couple of queries that I had to a very satisfactory standard.
We are very pleased to hear that your experience with us has been a positive one and we look forward to seeing you again in the home very soon.
Friendly, kind and respectful. I have two young children who feel comfortable and content to visit their grandad. The staff made my dad feel welcome and valued. They also have made the family feel like that. Couldn't do enough to help Dad and the family settle. Thank you all!

My mum was there for a short time, her room was not clean and she was left in the same clothes for about three or four days and just left in bed. My mum fell over and I was not told what was going to happen to her. Some of her clothes when missing. I am her son and I was not very happy.

Can't comment on value for money as Dad was funded.
Overall the staff are very friendly and helpful. Mum is kept clean and comfortable but could do with more help with feeding. Her room is satisfactory but could do with decorating at some point. For her needs, she does get value for money.

Lovely caring and attentive carers. Every possible food option was made available and tried (Dad could be quite fussy!). Room was cosy and warm. Wonderful people who gave Dad the best possible experience. Love and thanks to all staff.

Thanks for your lovely review. Our home does benefit from being in a quiet, secluded part of Ipswich with lots of nearby allotments and parks for our residents, and their friends and family, to enjoy.
Everyone at Avocet Court has been absolutely fantastic with the care of my mum, who had a stroke on 11/9/22.
