The care staff have been most efficient in the care provided to my brother. My only hope the following care home provides the same quality of care.
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.
Very good care home. Dad is well looked after. All his care needs are met. The staff are very friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to place a loved one into permanent care.

The staff are friendly and on the whole very kind and the nurses are very good. The food is very good but it could be warmer.
Thank you for your comments. I have made a note of your comments about food and will ask the home to investigate this further.

Dad resided in Avebury House briefly in December 2020 and then again for 13 days following a stroke at the end of his life. Care was amazing, he needed nothing - they gave all. And also to family in the last few days. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words. Hearing from someone who lives and experiences life at Westley Court, is a testament to the dedication, care and attention given by the Manager and all staff at the home. I am sure that anyone having to make the decision to place a loved one into a care service will...
I had a fall in January and, following a spell in hospital, went to a nursing home in Westbury. I came to Avebury House just over two weeks ago as it is close to friends and family. So far, I have been delighted with the overall care and attention I have received from everyone here. Nothing seems to be too much trouble and everyone treats me with kindness and respect.
We, as a family, knew Mother wasn't going to get any better and that her life journey would end at Avebury House. We couldn't have wished for a better place to end her long life. The kindness and dignity she was shown was wonderful. Everything was done to make her last few days as comfortable as possible. My brother, sister-in-law and I were included in all decision making and felt the warmth and care of a truly dedicated manager and all staff. Thank you so much.
We were so sorry to have lost your mother after such a short time with us. Thank you for your kind words about the care and support received. I will ensure the staff are made aware of your appreciative remarks.
Avebury House has been a godsend, a nursing home in Devizes where my dad is well cared for and feels like home to him. The carers and manager are genuinely caring and have done their best for dad especially considering the difficult times we're going through.
