Support you may be entitled to
If you choose a care home based in England, you may be eligible for NHS Funded Nursing Care (FNC), which helps cover the cost of nursing. This is worth £267.68 per week and is usually paid directly to the care home.
The team encourage anyone considering Avon View to visit the home, meet the team, and see the environment for themselves. A visit provides the opportunity to ask questions, explore the home, and talk through individual needs in a relaxed and informal way.
Arranging a visit is straightforward. The team will take time to understand your situation, explain the care they provide, and discuss how Avon View may be able to support you or your loved one.
Following an initial conversation, the team will arrange an assessment to ensure they can meet individual needs and provide the right level of care and support.
To find out more or to arrange a visit, please contact Avon View directly.
The team look forward to welcoming you to Avon View.
Parking
There is a dedicated car park at the front of the Home, together with disabled bays for those that require it.

My 91 year old father has been a resident since may 2022, following transfer from a previous care home. He has several medical needs so is on the nursing floor. I could not be more pleased with the care he receives on a daily basis. He is treated with dignity and respect and his every need is met by both the nursing and care staff. All staff are friendly, polite and pleasant and I have a very good working relationship with them all. Just yesterday my father said it was like a little family. There have been many health issues over the years and I am always kept informed, including when I visit. My father loves to tell me what he has eaten. The quality and choice of food is excellent. There is an excellent activities team and range of things to do. I would recommend Avon View to anyone looking to find their loved one excellent, tender loving care.

My beautiful mum came to Avon view for two weeks respite over Christmas she was so well looked after, then in March the decision was made for mum to move to a nursing home permanently and she went back to Avon view.Me and my sister couldn't ask for a nicer home. Avon View is a wonderful home all staff and nurses are amazing they go above and beyond my mum is treated like part of the family as am I. Avon view phones me up and keeps me updated if there was any concerns. When I leave the home I leave feeling happy that my mum is going to be well cared for.
I highly recommend Avon view

Very friendly and diligent staff. Always willing to talk about my father' issues, will listen to concerns and act where necessary. He has benefitted dramatically from the care here and is getting a much better standard of care than at home which has seen him improve in his wellbeing.

I had broken my elbow and couldn't visit Dad for seven weeks and couldn't drive, I visited him today for the first time. Dad was clean shaven and really happy to see me. He ate most of his lunch and I told him why I hadn't visited. He was calm and pleasant and very lucid. We filled in a form. He has been looked after really well in my absence and am so grateful to staff on the nurse line.

Throughout Mum’s residency on Bluebell/Poppy with the team at Avon View (June 2021-March 2023) Mum was treated with the utmost respect and dignity; friendship and kindness; humour and diligent attention to care and medical provision. The wonderful team helped her settle in, taking part in the many varied activities, and find her place within their community popping in and out of her room (especially in the difficult periods of covid restrictions) chatting and caring in equal measure. Avon View put mental and physical wellbeing in equal measure at the top of their care, taking time to sit and chat with Mum and supporting me was greatly valued. Twice weekly zoom calls with myself/brother and friends were priceless. Activities with her many friends were varied and enjoyable - including Alpaca’s, therapy dogs, cooking, gardening, crafts, Church services and games! Exceptional cleanliness of well equipped facilities and varied, enjoyable meals too! Avon View felt like home to Mum and to me.

My father has been in the dementia unit of Avon View for 2 months and during that time he has been treated with enormous kindness and respect at all times. He was not easy to settle as his journey had taken him from home to hospital to temporary care home then finally to Avon View, but the home was patient, worked closely with our family and he is now happy, settled and well cared for. I have witnessed a true example of person-centred care - led by exemplary management and wonderfully caring staff. The home is well thought out, clean, and the food excellent. The lovely lady I have seen carrying out activities could not have put more thought into her role - well done to you, on what I am sure is not a generous budget. Well done all of you and thank you very much.

On my visits to see my Aunt (I spent most afternoons over a three week period) I found she was being treated with care, dignity and respect. The help I received and still do, via phone, is outstanding. I would have to say, on my overall visits, I flew back to Australia knowing that my Aunty is in good hands.
Excellent care all-round.

Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
