Avebury House

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.

The staff always have time to talk to him and include him in activities.

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.

The staff are friendly and professional. We are so glad we chose you to look after our dad.

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 impressions are of a well-managed, modern environment staffed by caring people. I found the staff to be particularly helpful as well as patient and respectful toward residents. I have no hesitation in recommending this care home, based on my recent 3-day visit.

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.

Very pleased with the care at Avebury House.

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.

My sister is contented and our visits to see her are always happy. She loves her room, which I think is rather small and has a very poor outlook. She is also very happy with the staff and the care they provide. I find them very kind and helpful, creating a good atmosphere for everyone.

Very pleased with his care also with communication with the care home is excellent.

I was anxious about visiting my godmother. I hadn’t seen her for a while and I was nervous about going to a care home. I was very pleasantly surprised. The staff were kind and friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed and homely. I am looking forward to my next visit.

The staff are amazing and cared so well for my good friend at Avebury house. I am thoroughly pleased with the care provided and how my friend's needs were being met. Couldn't fault anything! The home was very clean when I visited and the food looked and smelled delicious! Thank you to all of the people involved that work so hard!

Right from the outset the care given to my mother, who arrived following lengthy stays in various hospitals, was outstanding. I was most impressed by the readiness of staff to give their time freely to talk to her, encouraging her to engage with others again. As we live overseas and my mother could not use a phone, the Manager even arranged regular FaceTime video calls on her own phone and the joy it gave my mother was plain to see. When we were able to visit, I was struck by the happy ambience and by the cleanliness and modern state of the rooms and decor. Meals appeared appetising. Little things made a difference, like the siting of a bird feeder outside her window when she was confined to bed. Regular visits by the local GP were, in this age of covid, a very pleasant surprise and when urgent care became necessary this was prompt and effective. The grounds are lovely and the location is quiet, on the edge of town making access easy. She could not have been in a better place.

When my wife arrived there were some settling in problems which were easily resolved by the kind and considerate staff. They have been wonderful with her and helpful and considerate to me.

My mother settled into Avebury House two months ago and I cannot fault the care and attention she has been given both physically and emotionally. I have peace of mind knowing that she is in safe hands.
