Mum's room was clean and tidy and the staff we interacted with were so empathetic and helpful. We (my wife and I) were able to take Mum to the internal cafe for a coffee and cake in a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Great job and thank you.

Had a parent in for end-of-life care and I cannot thank the staff enough, not only for the care given but for the support we received as a family.

Avocet Court Care Home is a lovely care home. The staff are friendly and welcoming and Mum is always clean and well cared for. They do a lot for the residents to make it a happy home for them to live in. Mum took a while to settle but everyone was very patient with her until she did.

Great home. Service was great. I was dubious at first as I had heard things. Couldn't fault in any way. Carers were great and friendly, management were approachable. Really helped with my dad in his time of need.

There are big security problems in this home. Whilst a resident in the home £1800 went missing from my mother. The management seemed uninterested when I reported her bank card being used outside the home in Asda, taxi rides, take away meals, mobile phone top-ups (she does not use a mobile phone). All while she was bedridden, as she falls if walking unaided and in isolation, due to being Covid positive. Only when other agencies got involved did any action take place. The staff member has now been given a 26 week suspended sentence and ordered to pay my mother and other residents a total of £4000 compensation. I received no apology or communication as to how the home intends to prevent further lapses in security.
We are so sorry that this incident occurred. We can assure you that this has been dealt with through the proper channels with all appropriate agencies involved. You will be receiving a detailed response shortly and should’ve received an email confirming this. If there is anything else we can do in the meantime please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
