Review from P M (Sister of Resident) published on 21 June 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
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.
Reply from Sue Houldey, Operations Director at Avebury House

Thank you for taking the time to provide a review of the home. We would be more than happy to discuss a change of room should your sister wish. I will pass on the comments about staff to the home manager. We are always grateful to our kind and compassionate staff for bringing a sense of enjoyment and happiness to the home.

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.

Review from Iain D (Son of Resident) published on 28 October 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Moving into residential care is a large transition both for a service user and their family. Without exception, every single person has been kind, helpful, and professional in supporting us with mum's removal. It's the things that money cannot buy, like attitude, genuine care, and compassion that mean
we are so happy that mum is with you, safe and sound.

Extremely impressed with everything to do with Avebury House. The care and kindness shown to my sister are remarkable. Everyone is so kind and helpful, nothing is too much trouble and always with a smile. The food is jummy. The lounge and dining room is like home from home, and we love the decor - nice
and modern, furniture and curtains very pretty.

The home is beautifully set internally and externally with polite, helpful happy staff. They were attentive to the needs of myself and my friend whilst I visited, extremely professional yet warm in their approach. The manager, who was polite, friendly and professional, offered a tour of the facilities.
All areas match the main areas on view. A beautiful setting with exceptional staffing from the manager down. I will enjoy my revisits.

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.
