Our neighbour has been in Avon Cliff for several months now and we are really impressed. Having worked in care homes I can be a little critical but cannot find fault with this home. The staff are always pleasant and have time for you. Our friend has a new lease of life and is so content. Hope if our turn comes to have to have care we can receive this level of care.

- 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.
