Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I was so grateful that Avebury agreed to take my partner for 2 weeks. He had been in the hospital for 8 days after some falls. Leaving him feeling very confused, not knowing where he lived and wandering around all night (after sleeping all day!) - I am 84, needed to get some rest to continue his care,
he lived with me for 8 years after I suggested he should stay with me after his hip replacement - he stayed! bless him.
Reply from Guneet Brookes, Marketing Manager at Avebury House
We're so glad we could support you and your partner during this time. Thank you for sharing - our team will be touched to know we could help both of you get some rest and reassurance.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad was placed at Avebury House following a long hospital stay, we've now moved dad to be closer to all his family as Devizes was a long way out and we couldn't visit as much as we'd like. I have to say Avebury House were fantastic and Dad was very happy there, he was well cared for, he thought so
highly of all the staff, everyone went above and beyond to keep dad happy and to ensure he had everything he needed. I was always contacted if dad was unwell or if there were any concerns in regards to his health/wellbeing, dad was so sad to leave here and even though he's in a lovely new home, he often tells me how he misses Avebury House, the staff and the food. I really can't thank everyone here enough for making sure dad had a happy settled year and a half with you, thank you

After making a difficult decision to place my mum into care, I couldn't be happier with our home of choice. The staff at Avebury house are compassionate and caring and always answer any queries i have. The manager is prompt at responding to me and always available to talk to. I have had a lovely experience
considering the decision was so very difficult and most of all mum is extremely happy and thriving. Would recommend Avebury house to anybody.

There is a peaceful calm atmosphere about Avebury House with its lovely view over the garden, trees and canals. I can't thank the staff enough for their kindness and very professional care of my husband who suffered from dementia. It hasn't taken him long to really settle down there. He has plenty of
food to eat and his room is kept spotlessly clean. It's a nice place to visit as I am always made to feel very welcome and part of the 'family'.Would highly recommend it to anyone seeing a good care home.

My experience of Avebury House is an extremely positive one. The staff are without exception courteous, obliging and at all times willing to accommodate wherever possible individual requirements. There is a very pleasant garden with tables where residents can sit outside to chat with their visitors
and enjoy meals alfresco if they so wish. It is hard to fault the total commitment shown by staff who go beyond the call of duty to ensure that residents are well looked after and happy in this environment. The high standard of in-house catering is also worthy of mention with a good selection of meals always available that are prepared using good quality ingredients. It is most reassuring to know that one's loved ones are being well cared for and are in capable professional hands.

This care home is everything anyone would like for their relations, it's homely, wonderful staff and carers, nothing is too much for them, if you are looking for a care home from home this is the care home for you. All staff from carers to kitchen staff all have a nice word to say to all the residents
and relations, nothing is too much for them, not a bad day in the staff, always cheerful no matter what the weather or day is like. Everyone always cheerful to everyone, home from home like one big family.

The care my friend receives is very good. Staff are friendly and caring, they know me by name and they encourage my friend to now sit out in the lounge and take part in activities where she is able.
Unfortunately, the lounges are soulless and need an infusion of colour, the corridors are grey, maybe
a blie on this is a good colour for dementia clients and maybe paint the door a bright colour. There is a huge clock which even I struggle to tell the time.

My father has been a nursing care resident since January and whilst the care home received an inadequate CQC report, I can confirm that Dad has been provided with a lovely spacious room which is kept clean and safe for him. The staff are all wonderful to him and treat him with respect and dignity when
they provide him with his care needs. I can see improvements have been made and have been reassured this will continue. Thanks to you all for all you do.

Review from S P (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My mum was here 6 months, she was left in bed facing a wall, until I turned her bed around myself, after asking numerous times for it to be done.
There were many occasions I would visit and find her wet.
There was no bathing or hair wash unless I asked.
Always short of staff, no activities.
Her
belongings would consistently go missing even though they had been labelled.
Her meals and drinks would be served in a manner that she would not be able to be consume them as they would be out of her reach or not in a cup she would be able to handle.
After having been admitted to hospital, for what should have been a short period, she then had to wait in hospital for 3 months to find a different care home as Avebury House would not allow her to return.
I would have residents approaching me visibly upset and distressed asking for help to their rooms on most visits.
Not a good experience for my mum and for myself.

Mum spent a year at Avebury House, and after a period of adjustment, she settled in and got to like the company of the residents and became fond of staff members. Avebury House has a lovely, warm, friendly feel and time is taken to make sure residents are included in social activities. Mum died on 28th
December. Both she and our family were treated with dignity and loving kindness in those last few days - nothing was too much for the staff. We owe them great thanks.

My husband was admitted to Avebury House Care Home on February 9th 2022. He had vascular dementia and I was unable to continue care at home. He received the utmost care and consideration as did I. He had several other problems and died in his sleep peacefully and pain-free on October 7th. I would not
hesitate to recommend the home. It was clean, food was good and staff were very caring.

My sister-in-law seems very happy and contented to be in the home, a fact which is of great relief to us given her attachment to her actual home. The main reason is we believe that she is treated with respect and is cared for by staff who are there providing all of the things she feels she needs. I
cannot comment on value for money as I am unaware of the financial elements of this.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.669)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.669) out of 10 for Avebury House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.669 for Avebury House is calculated as follows: ( (106 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 148 Ratings = 4.669
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Avebury House is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
