of humour which is often required when residents are not always co-operative.

Since my Mum came to live at Avonmere Care home last November, we can't fault it at all. The staff are all so lovely and caring, the entertainment and outings are excellent along with the food which looks amazing.
Mum recently had a fall, we were told immediately and had further phone calls keeping

us up to date on her progress, we were very impressed with the staff and the system put in place. The home itself is always clean and has lovely indoor & outdoor spaces. we honestly would recommend this Care home to everyone

Overall Experience

Dad moved into Avonmere in February 2025. His need for a care home occurred very suddenly which was a shock not only for him but for myself and my mother. From the initial scouting visit to the present day we have only been met and treated with kindness, enthusiasm, care and attention at every visit.
We

couldn't have wished for a nicer care home for dad, he has plenty of activities to attend, he has a beautiful room with ensuite and a lovely view of the garden from his window. All of his needs are met with kindness and dignity and nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff whether it be maintenance/housekeeping/kitchen activities staff, the carers, reception staff or Management. Mum and I always look forward to our visits and enjoy taking part in the activities and talking with the various staff. I highly recommend Avonmere for your loved ones.

Reply from Samantha Baronian, Home Manager at Avonmere Care Home - Avery HealthcareThank you so much for your lovely review. It means a great deal to the whole team to hear that your dad has settled in so well and that you and your mum feel welcomed and supported too. Were so pleased Avonmere feels like the right home for him, and we truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation.

Review from J R (Grandson of Resident) published on 12 May 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My Grandma came to Avonmere after leaving her home of 30 years after a decline in physical and mental health. The journey to this point was not an easy one but she fit right in at Avonmere. The quality of the home is amazing, as are the staff and facilities. Honestly, my grandma is not always the easiest

person to deal with, especially with dementia. However the staff have the patience of saints and always treat her with respect and care even when things must be testing. The only room for improvement for me is sometimes there is a lapse in communication meaning that conversations sometimes need to be had with different members of staff in different roles. I do appreciate however that this is much the same in all walks of life as we're all human.

Reply from Samantha Baronian, Home Manager at Avonmere Care Home - Avery HealthcareThank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and kind words about Avonmere. We truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback.
Caring for residents living with dementia requires compassion, patience, and understanding, and we are incredibly proud of our team for the respect and kindness they show every day. We will be sure to share your lovely comments with them.

We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding communication. We are always looking for ways to improve and your comments are valuable in helping us continue to provide the best possible experience for residents and their families.

Thank you again for your support and trust in Avonmere

Overall Experience

I viewed many care homes before visiting Avonmere. Once I walked into Avonmere it had a complete different feel to it and almost like a hotel with the hot and cold drinks situated behind the reception desk. The rooms are all spotless and lots of rooms to sit including a bar and library all beautifully

decorated. The outside garden has lots of comfy seats and there is a large balcony upstairs again with seats and parasols.
All staff are amazing from Sam the manager who gets things done to the friendly receptionists, catering staff, Bee the entertainments manager, the nurses, catering staff and the seniors who take great care of mums medical needs
My mum is on the dementia floor and is really happy there as there's always a full day of activities plus trips out in their own bus. Bee and her team encourage residents to follow their hobbies eg golf, art, church, Pilates and lots of eve parties
My mum didn't want to go into a home but tells me she's happy and the staff are very kind

Reply from Samantha Baronian, Home Manager at Avonmere Care Home - Avery HealthcareThank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and heartfelt review. Your kind words genuinely mean so much to all of us here at Avonmere.

It's wonderful to hear that you felt something special as soon as you walked through our doors. We work very hard to create a warm, welcoming environment that feels comfortable, homely, and uplifting for both residents and their families, so your comments are incredibly rewarding to read.

I'm especially pleased to hear how happy your mum has become with us. We understand how difficult the decision to move into a care home can be, and it means the world to know she now feels settled, supported, and cared for by our team.

Thank you also for recognising so many members of staff across the home. Bea and the activities team are so passionate about helping residents continue enjoying their hobbies, interests, and social lives, and the nursing and care teams work tirelessly every day to provide the very best care possible.

Overall Experience

Nobody wants to think of putting a loved one into a care home ! But sometimes there is no option. A very dear friend of mine was sadly amittted to hospital in November 2025 . Over night he was discharged , I knew he was to frail to return home so I promised to find him a 5 star hotel to recover . That's

when after visiting other places I found Avonmere . Straight away I knew he would love it . Sam the manager pulled out all the stops to get him accesed in hospital the next day and move straight in . Initially it was only for respite. But he loved the care / fuss and attention so much he didn't want to leave. He's now been there 5 months and has come on so much . The staff are so kind, and attentive. We've had the odd problem but Sam is always there to listen and sort out immediately. They cater for everyone's needs even with activities. They've even taken my friend to watch he's beloved football team play . I've had dealings with our care homes in the past . This one is outstanding

Reply from Samantha Baronian, Home Manager at Avonmere Care Home - Avery HealthcareThank you so much for your incredibly kind words. Reading your message truly means a lot to me and to the whole team here at Avonmere.
We always aim to make Avonmere feel like a home rather than just a care setting, so hearing that he enjoys the care, attention, activities, and little bits of fuss means the world to us. The football trip was definitely a highlight for everyone involved!

Thank you as well for your trust, support, and understanding. It's lovely families and friends like you who make what we do so rewarding.

I will make sure your kind comments are shared with the whole team, as they work incredibly hard every single day and will be so proud to hear this feedback

My 89 year old mother,has just moved into Avonmere from an extra care facility and the difference is uncomparable. She was rapidly deteriorating at her previous place due to food and care quality. She's almost like a different person and has only been at Avonmere a week. The care staff are all absolutely

wonderful,nothing is a problem, they are bright,cheery and everyone came too mum's room and introduced themselves,which shows how kind and caring they are. The food is absolutely superb and the 5 star chef really pulls out all the stops. There is so much going on there It's a joy to visit. It's lovely sitting in the well manicured gardens on a sunny day. Let's not forget the manager and her excellent admin staff,everyone plays an important part at Avonmere. Mum is a different person now and feels very safe and secure and this is all due to everyone at Avonmere.

My husband has Parkinsons disease with dementia and in November 2024 he was admitted to Avonmere care home because of my own health issues. The care he has received at Avonmere has been amazing. The care staff are really fun, friendly, patient & caring & he loves to chat with them. In fact, all

the staff we've seen on site are welcoming and helpful. The building itself is very light & clean and aesthetically pleasing with a library, games room, several comfortable lounges and an immaculate private dining room in addition to the two main ones.

My mother-in-law has been a resident here for over six years, probably currently the longest-standing resident. She has lived there through Covid and many management changes, but throughout this, we have had no cause to fault her care. She has, in the past, benefited greatly from the activities and

although her involvement in these has declined greatly over the last year or so, she still benefits from the social aspects of residing here.
