My mother has been a resident at Alveston Leys for over nine years, firstly in residential and for the last 4 years in nursing. She was very well cared for and happy to be a resident of the home. We were all very satisfied with the care provided at Alveston Leys. Thank you all.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. It is great to hear how well your mother has been cared for and how happy she has been over the last nine years. Hopefully you will go away from this experience feeling as though she has received the best possible care.
Mum was at Alveston Leys for nearly 10 years up until her death in April this year. The home saw mum through those 10 years with love, exemplary care and respect. When she was able to get up and join in the activities she loved chatting to the other residents and enjoying a leisurely lunch in the dining room. As she became more infirm, there was always a friendly face passing by or a staff member tending sympathetically to her personal care. I was fortunate enough to be there when she died, and right up to the last she was treated with love, tenderness and respect (as was I!).
Thank you for your heartfelt review at what must be a difficult time. We are honoured to have been able to support your loved one over such a long period and grateful for your kind words about the care, respect and compassion shown by our team. It is comforting to know that your mother enjoyed her...
My experience here at Alveston Leys is a lovely place to stay, If me or my family need anything or need to know anything the nurses always help, they are always there. The carers are lovely, wash, shower nothing is too much trouble, and cleaners the same nothing too much trouble. I would recommend Alveston Leys to family and friends.
It's always encouraging to read reviews like this. It is wonderful to hear that you have settled in comfortably with us and that you are being well looked after and cared for. We're committed to continuing to support you and your family in every way we can.
Every time I visit my mother I find the staff to be incredibly cheerful and helpful - from the moment you walk in you feel immediately at home.
Thank you for your kind words. It is lovely to hear our staff described and incredibly helpful and cheerful. We really appreciate your feedback.
You would have a job to find a better care home than this one! I find that my needs always come first.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are very happy to hear that you feel safe and well cared for at Alveston Leys.
I am continuously impressed by the care and genuine concern all the staff given to my mum and other residents, this includes management. The entertainment is outstanding, be it singing, exercise, art of the brilliant singers. The activity coordinator has a really amazing relationship with all residents, he's always ready to listen and solve the worries as best he can.I am continuously impressed by the care and genuine concern all the staff given to my mum and other residents, this includes management.

Since the day I moved in the experience has been excellent. Friendly and helpful staff. Happy atmosphere with lots of activities and stimulation. Every effort is made to make residents feel special.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are very happy to hear that you find your care to be excellent. Thank you again for choosing Alveston Leys for your home.
Alverston Leys has become so much more than an excellent care home. The staff have made mum and myself feel like we are part of their 'family'. As nurses, Mum and I valued the care she received. As she changed so the staff responded with professionalism, care and empathy. Mum received end of life care in her last weeks dying peacefully with carers and all the staff going the extra mile. Words are not enough to express my thanks. I trusted them they did not let me or Mum down.
We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us your kind review. We are happy to hear that you felt like part of our Alveston Leys family during the time your Mum was with us. We hope that knowing your Mum received such excellent and empathetic care is comforting to you now. Thank you again for your kind words.
I'm pleased that we had been offered a place at this nursing home for my mother. It's reassuring to know that she is well cared for.
We appreciate you sharing your experience with our home. Knowing that you feel reassured about your loved one's care is the best feedback we can receive. We want our home to feel like a community, and it's wonderful to hear that you feel a part of it. We're committed to continuing to support you and your family in every way we can.
A very lovely and friendly care home. All staff and carers/nurses are welcoming. Things that need doing get done quickly. The home makes what is a very difficult time of life more comfortable. It's reassuring that my mother's final days/weeks are the best they can be.
We're so grateful that you've taken the time to share your thoughts. We want our home to feel like a community, and it's wonderful to hear that you feel a part of it. Hearing that our care brings you peace of mind truly means so much to us. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything more we can do.
After viewing Alveston Leys to see if it would be suitable for my father to reside, I left feeling extremely happy. The setting is beautiful. The staff were warm and friendly. The food looked and smelled amazing. I knew my father would be comfortable here and well looked after and he is. Fast forward 6 weeks later, he is extremely happy, he loves the staff. He takes part in most of the activities and loves the food. He's settled in well and I leave him after I visit at peace, knowing he is safe and being cared for. I can't thank all of the staff enough for looking after my father.
It's always encouraging to read reviews like this. We want our home to feel like a community, and it's wonderful to hear that you feel a part of it. Hearing that our care has made a difference to you and your family is truly rewarding. Hopefully you will go away from this feeling like your loved one is receiving the best possible care.
Whilst the care and treatment provided by nursing staff is of a good standard the management of this care facility, in my experience, is not. This has had a direct impact on the care and treatment my loved one has received.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments. We have a genuine regard for all of our residents. We are concerned to hear this. Could you please contact our Feedback Team by emailing feedback@bupa.com or calling 0113 381 6293 so we could discuss this further?
Food - The quality of the food is very average & could be much better.

The staff generally were very helpful and caring but the night staff were sometimes rude, brusque and unaccommodating. I had to remind certain members to have a bit more respect for residents. I really did not like being undressed and put to bed by two male staff members and the second time this happened I asked for a female staff member to be present.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments. We have a genuine regard for all of our residents. Our resident's health and well being is an absolute priority. We will discuss your feedback with the home's manager to help them continually improve their service.
My mother has been in this wonderful care home in the pretty village of Alveston for 18 months. All the staff are friendly and professional and there is a lovely atmosphere throughout the home. Mum is very happy here. She enjoys the food and the excellent range of entertainment on offer. I visit once a month as I live some distance away and have complete peace of mind as I know she is being well looked after. I would not hesitate to recommend Alveston Leys care home with it's outstanding facilities and wonderful caring staff.
Thank you for your kind words. It is always wonderful to hear words like "Friendly" and "Professional" being used to describe our staff and we are pleased to hear that you are impressed with the atmosphere at Alveston Leys Care Home. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease with your Mother in our care. We hope to continue providing your loved one with the best possible care.
A lovely care home, wehre all the staff are very friendly yet professional. Husband was very unsure about going into a care home, albeit temporarily. I can in all honesty say he did more in 5 days in the home than he had for 5 years at home! This is simply down to the staff, gently encouraging him to get out of his room and try different activities. There can be no higher praise to give to a brilliant, caring and helpful home.
Thank you for your kind words. It is always lovely to hear words like "Friendly" and "Professional" being used to describe our staff and we hope Alveston Leys Care Home did everything possible to make the transition as easy as possible. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your Husband's stay as comfortable as possible.
Mum was a resident for just over a week which was her prognosis, and i can honestly say that Alveston Leys was exceptional on so many things that are important for anyone going into care and their family as visitors.
The friendly and professional staff, the positive team atmosphere, the lovely location, the care and authenticity, and the quality and hygiene of the whole care home was a joy and a privilege to appreciate in these moments of need.
I would highly recommend Alveston Leys and the nursing team there.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments. We are saddened to hear about your loss. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one was cared for and looked after. It is always nice to hear words like "Friendly" and "Professional" being used to describe...
Today was mums 102nd birthday and l want to thank everybody at Alveston Leys for making this such a memorable event. All mums friends and relatives had a ball and enjoyed the entertainment and food. Thanks you so much for making mums day so special.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased that your Mum, family and friends had a wonderful time alike and it's nice to hear our staff went above and beyond to celebrate such a monumental occasion. Thank you for choosing Alveston Leys as your Mum's home.
Fantastic atmosphere, great coffee and wonderful care showed to my cherished brother.
Thank you for your kind words. We are so pleased to hear words such as "fantastic atmosphere" and "wonderful care" being used to describe our care. We hope to continue providing your Brother with the best possible care.
My mum attended her first bus trip out to the Country Park. She was worried about participating due to bowel issues, when she gets constipated, she has to have a laxative; the consequence of which is embarrassing for my mum. On the way home from the day out, which she thoroughly enjoyed a bowel issue occurred. The home was called and told what had gone on with mum, so as soon a she arrived back at the care home she was taken in and changed without any fuss or delay or any knowledge to my mum that this had been done in advance. I only found out about this the other day and was so grateful this had been handled in such a caring and dignified way. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make Mothers stay as comfortable as possible.

I am a registered mental health nurse. I have worked in the health and Social care sector for 40 years. I started as a volunteer when I was 16 years old, working in hospitals. Since training and qualifying in 1987, I have worked in acute psychiatry, complex mental health, physical disabilities, and palliative care in the community.
I have worked in all roles within the setting, including a nurse, deputy manager, general manager, clinical specialist roles, and teaching foundation level up to FE level. Training and specialist knowledge: dementia care, complex mental health, and I have completed palliative care and end-of-life care at a degree level, plus Teaching and assessing in clinical practice. I have a professional interest in residents' rights, mental capacity and person-centred care practices.

I moved to England in 2003 from Romania, where I was a Theatre Nurse for 11 years. I joined as a Senior Carer and completed a return to practice course; then I was promoted to Registered Nurse in 2009 and then Senior Sister in 2017.
I enjoy making a difference to our residents and their families and specialise in palliative and end-of-life care. Keeping our residents comfortable and happy is very important to me, and my role is very rewarding.
At every opportunity, I will attend training courses and conferences to continue to develop my skills and knowledge.
I live locally with my husband and 2 children, and I enjoy walking, cycling, baking and always have a good book on the go.

I'm Janet, the receptionist here at Alveston Leys. I help and care for residents' families as they visit and assist residents with any daily requests, ensuring they're happy.
I live within walking distance to the home (weather permitting). I have one daughter who now lives in Bristol. In my spare time I love meeting up with her, going to the theatre, reading, keeping fit and socialising with my friends.

I live locally with my husband and daughter, who was a “lockdown baby”. I often bring her in to visit the residents which they both enjoy.

I have worked at Bupa for 12 years and have been at Alveston Leys for 2 years in my role of Activity Co-ordinator.
I love my job as an Activity Coordinator, especially being able to make a difference in the well-being of the residents.
I have a passion for films and food and enjoy keeping fit by playing squash and taking part in ultra-challenge charity walks.

I have worked at Alveston Leys for 20 years. I moved to England in 2004 from Romania to join my wife. Prior to moving here, I was working as an engineer in a foundry. I started at Alveston Leys as a Kitchen Assistant, progressing to Assistant Chef, and 5 years ago I transferred to become the Maintenance Operator.
I enjoy working here as I like to help the residents fix things - even if it's just odd jobs around the home. I love chatting with residents and finding out about their lives.
I live locally to the home with my wife, Dani, and my 2 children. In my spare time I enjoy walking, cooking and watching a good movie!
