After my operation on 17-11-25 I had to find a place that would care for me I had an operation, a urine infection that got septic, and I nearly died. Coming to this place in March 2026 it was the perfect choice I have ever had in my life. I intended to stay here for another two months it is like being at home we are looking extremely well beautifully decorated and wonderful staff and lovely food.
Thank you for your kind words. We are all so delighted you have decided to make Wandsworth Common your home now and love having you around the building.
we could not have asked for better care for our father. The team were fantastic, attentive and considerate. The facility is spotless and the residents are engaged and happy. What a wonderful experience we enjoyed and our father appreciated it greatly.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. Your father was a lovely man.
My aunt was not sure she was ready for a care home but after a further fall, and the offer of a month's trial she said yes. I have photographs of her on the day she arrived - still anxious from her previous life - and then 10 days later, totally relaxed and happy. She spent 9 glorious months in her beautiful apartment, but unfortunately, she had a severe stroke, and after spending time in hospital she was able to return to WCCH but she sadly passed away one week later.
What makes WCCH different is the beautiful environment but especially the staff who go above and beyond on so many occasions. They became a family to Joyce we always knew she was happy and well looked after.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was an honour to care for your aunt. I will pass the wonderful feedback on to the team here who work tirelessly to provide exceptional care to all of our residents
What a care home should be. Exceptional leadership. Brilliant, friendly, knowledgeable, caring team. The facilities are second to none. Brilliant food which you can enjoy with your loved one if you happen to be around at mealtimes. The vision for dementia care is great, and the delivery of that vision is a clear and constant focus. I moved my dad from a slightly less expensive care home, where he had gone from mobile to bed-bound. Moving him to Wandsworth Common was an easy decision to make and one I never had cause to regret. They got him mobile again, and his standard of care went through the roof right from day 1. To the wonderful, caring team who supported my dad in his last months of life, I am eternally grateful. At a difficult time they turned our situation around. I have no hesitation in recommending this home to anyone.
Thank you for your glowing review. I will make sure all the team have read this as it will mean a lot to them. Take care.
Once there my aunt was delighted by the welcome at the home the warmth and friendliness made her feel safe and cared for.
The home was immaculate and gave me great peace of mind knowing that there was a home such as this available to my aunt.
I am very grateful to the staff for their care and dedication.
Thank you for taking the time to send us a review. We loved having your aunt here and do hope we will see her here again soon.
Dad (90) has now been here for a couple of months, and we all think the place is amazing. As our daughter, 16, marvelled: "this place doesn't feel like a care home". No, it is much nicer than that. The building looks like a yellow submarine from the outside, but inside it has the airy, luxurious feel of a grand hotel. Some of the same animation, too.
We very much enjoy our visits. Dad is full of praise for his carers, and it is heartening often to find him - a very shy man - chatting happily with others in the cafe or courtyard when we arrive, unannounced. Someone is quietly making the effort to see that this happens.
There are some lovely activities. The nursing care is on-the-ball, and we are all struck the wonderfully upbeat atmosphere that seems to run through the building. Dad loves being able to help himself to treats from the cafe; to have a glass of wine with supper; to invite us to join him for lunch. We feel blessed, and cannot imagine a better place for him.
Thank you for your lovely words. I can only echo what you have said in that it's so lovely to see your father interacting with others and settling in to his new home. Equally lovely for you all to be able to visit.
As with many, it was a massive move for my 93 year-old stepmother to give up independent living and move into a care home. From the start, the Wandsworth team have been fantastic with her as she adjusts to her new way of life. The home is well run, well staffed and the atmosphere is WAY better than other care homes we viewed - with daily activities that are interesting and stimulating. Not that my stepmother does any of them - but she's very impressed with the hairdresser and manicurist! In the end, though, it is the quality of the staff that matters most and the Wandsworth carers are kind and engaging - and are working hard to get my stepmother more active. The lady on reception, is delightful and the management team don't hide away in an office. However, I was disappointed to read, if correct, that the carers are not paid while on a meal break during a shift...so I promptly deducted a star. Come on, Avery board of directors! You make enough to pay your staff correctly.
She has along way to go but is making slow but steady progress in the hands of the staff and their recommended physios. A huge relief that she is in now living in such a pleasant environment.
Thank you for your kind words. It's so lovely to see her doing so much better in our care.
The outside space is limited but they have a Walking Club on the Common which my Father is now enjoying.
We are so delighted with his care and support.
The staff are truly wonderful.
What kinds words, thank you for leaving us a review. Your father's progress has been amazing and it's so lovely to see him up and about in the community and making friends with other residents. I will pass on your sentiments to the team.
Cannot praise more highly. My mother-in-law recently turned 100 and with the aid of the proactive and cheerful staff, we celebrated in style. The decor and attention to detail was faultless, as were the provision of food & drink. This is such a happy place to live, and the facilities are first class. The staff always go the extra mile.
Thank you so much for the review. The celebration was a day to remember! I will make sure all the team have seen your kind words.
I cannot recommend Avery enough. My 87 year old father stayed for a month's respite care and had a wonderful experience. The home feels like a 5 star hotel and is very clean and luxurious. The staff are incredibly warm, welcoming and kind - 'nothing is too much trouble for them'' as Dad said. Everyone greeted him by name and took the time to chat to him when they passed.
Everyday there is something different and stimulating for the residents to do. As a relative, every visit was a lovely, rewarding experience.
What a lovely review, thank you so much for taking the time to rate our care home. I do hope he is still living well at home again, he is much missed around here!
Always a difficult decision to trust your loved one into someone's else's care but Will at Wandsworth Common Care Home helped make this decision easy. My husband needed respite care and we looked at many different care home but immediately on entering WCCH we felt at home. It has a warm, welcoming atmosphere like a lovely hotel. The staff were kind and personable immediately and my husband relaxed because it didn't feel like he was a patient but a welcomed guest. During his two week stay he was looked after like royalty, so many different activities socialising with the other residents. Any opportunity for a get together of which there were many. Although initially I felt it hard to relax I was reassured by the immediate response to my emails which enabled me to enjoy my break. I will not pretend it's easy but I know I need to look after my own health and finding care for my husband that I can trust has enabled me to plan ahead for regular breaks for myself. Thank you WCCH c u soon
What a lovely review, thank you. I will make sure all the team know how happy you were. We are really looking forward to him staying again soon, and to seeing you here again as well!
My mother moved into Avery in November and her memory and faculties are deteriorating. She us having excellent care at Wandsworth, the staff are patient, understanding and respectful at all times and trained well in managing residents expectations and changing moods. The home is nicely decorated and the surroundings comfortable and welcoming.
Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to leave us a review. Your mother is a delight to be around, and it was so lovely for the team to share her special day with her and you.
My aunt spent 16 months in the care home and was very happy there. The standard of care and attention were very good. I was also impressed with the totality of the offering.
Thank you for writing us a review. I will pass your comments on to the team here. Your aunt was a lovely lady and is missed by us all.
Avery Wandsworh was a lifesaver. My father was ill and hospitalised while visiting us from abroad and he couldn't fly back. They were extremely helpful and accommodating in a very stressful time for the family. From the nurse visit to do the assessment, to the daily day-to-day activities, they took great care and encouraged my father back to health and for him to be able to fly back. They welcomed my mum and my whole family to the home.
It was lovely to get to know you all whilst your father stayed here, and so lovely to know that he was able to get home safely. Thank you for taking the time to write us a review.
Very good experience for first time in care home.
It was a pleasure to have you stay with us. As we discussed, you are always more than welcome for another stay whenever you like.
My mother has been at the Avery Wandsworth Common Care Home as a resident since May of this year. The home is beautifully decorated, tasteful and very clean and her spacious apartment far exceeded my expectations. The entire process of moving my mother in and ensuring that she settled quickly was seamless. I have yet to meet a member of staff there who isn't extremely attentive, kind, patient and good-humoured. The lines of communication are always open and I know my mother is in excellent hands. It is a huge relief that we have found somewhere so wonderful for her.
What lovely words, thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. I will make sure that all the team have seen your message. Your mother is so much fun, we love having her around!
I came to visit an old friend and this was my first visit to the home. As soon as I entered the building, I became aware of a gentle calmness and a welcoming spirit of quiet efficiency. The reception staff could not have been more helpful and kinder. On arrival at the resident's room, all of the care staff on duty that I met over two hours were anxious to ensure that I was comfortable and not upset by how my friend's appearance had changed over the last few months: this is the mark of high-quality care and concern for visitors' well being. That level of care and thoughtfulness is standard. The resident's dignity is a real priority at all times and frequent visits at regular intervals is testament to this. Nothing was hurried and my friend's wellbeing was paramount. I left the home with a lightness of heart and in the certain knowledge that the highest level of care was being taken. Thank you to the whole team.
It was so lovely that you were able to visit your friend here and our subsequent conversation was truly uplifting. Thank you so much for this wonderful review, as I promised you, I will make sure that each and every member of the team involved are aware of the difference they made to your visit without even realising.
We attended the funeral reception of a friend at Wandsworth Common Care Home. The manager was such a lovely young man in how he welcomed everyone, poured drinks and ensured we were all okay. The carer was also in attendance so charming and friendly. The staff on reception provided a warm welcome and suggested we use the underground car park. The care home was wonderful, clean and had a great location.
Thank you for taking the time to send us a review. Whilst a sad day, it was a lovely occasion and I'm pleased you found our team welcoming and friendly.
Change from a previous provider to Avery, pretty smooth. My brother has been very well cared for. The move from basic care to dementia was very well maintained. The care staff are excellent. Sad that they are not paid for their full time at the home and that meal breaks are not included in their hours worked.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home. Your brother is a much loved resident here by all of us and to see you visit him.

Meet the Team (5)

I am excited to join the exceptional and experienced team at Wandsworth Common Care Home and will bring my industry knowledge to support their outstanding levels of care, and personal touch and work with their teams striving for continued excellence.
I am a Registered Nurse with 16 years of experience in frontline healthcare and, having worked in a broad range of settings I have developed a passion for exceptional service in the care industry.
I started my career in A+E having previously worked as a multi-site quality assurance Matron at Bart’s Trust and as Site General Manager at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital. More recently I have managed many nursing and specialist dementia care homes.
I look forward to meeting everyone who comes through our doors.

Having worked for eleven years in similar roles for other luxury care providers, I am thrilled to represent Avery Collection at Wandsworth Common as a Customer Liaison Manager. I have a track record of success, having taken a challenged home to its highest-ever occupancy in a previous role. As a Dementia Champion, I am also committed to helping those living with memory loss, having previously helped set up a regional Dementia Action Alliance with a local church.
Avery Collection are known as the best in terms of quality of care and quality of design, and in these areas as well as many others they are always one step ahead of other care providers. This ethos is one I share, and I am delighted to be working for the best provider in the business.
In my role, I am the first point of contact for families seeking care. I am dedicated to using my knowledge and experience to act as a guide and to help families through what can be a difficult time of life.
Avery Collection at Wandsworth Common is a truly special home, as this level of care is not usually available in such a central, accessible location. Residents will have a great range of facilities and attractions available right on their doorstep. I’m also excited to be part of such a technologically advanced, stylishly designed and luxurious home.

I started my journey in to care six years ago when I joined as a care assistant. I loved my role there and put my heart and soul into ensuring the residents were happy and enjoyed the quality of life they deserved. I was then promoted to lead carer with the responsibility of a team of 14 carers, which I continued to do for the next four years.
I would drive past Wandsworth Common every day on my way to work and thought maybe one day I may end up working there as it was closer to home. When they opened I applied as a care supervisor and was overjoyed to get the role as many people had applied. Six months later I was promoted to my current role as residential care manager and I’m loving every minute! I have a fabulous and very experienced care team around me and I also feel very supported from the management team in the home who are always go that extra mile to help and get involved. I am the type of person who will roll up my sleeves and help wherever I’m needed and knowing that all my residents are well looked after gives me a massive sense of satisfaction.
I feel extremely proud and honoured to work in such a beautiful home with a friendly atmosphere and great people.
Out of work I love to spend time with my family and friends. I have three children who have all grown up now and have their own families of which I am very proud. I also have two beautiful granddaughters, one 10 years old and one of 8 months, my family are the most important things in my life. Outside of work I love meeting with friends over a glass or two of bubbly as the perfect way to relax!

Caring has always been a big part of my life, growing up I was the main carer for a member of my family which ignited my passion for the caring profession. This lead to me study nursing at university in Romania in 2009. After gaining my qualification and practicing in Romania for a few years I moved to England in 2015. I moved initially to Derbyshire where I worked as a carer for two years. After this I was promoted to the nurse’s assistant and subsequently lead all the training for dementia carers for that business. I am extremely passionate about giving residents the best care and most fulfilling lives. In my role as dementia care manager I am committed to continuous learning and also supporting my staff to be the very best they can be.
What I love most about my role is seeing how we are able to have such a positive impact on our residents’ day to day lives and seeing the smiles on their faces is the best feeling. Avery Collection is a fantastic company to work for and I feel very supported in my role and with any ideas I have to support our residents.
Outside of work I have a passion for sport with my biggest achievement is being Romania’s National Backstroke champion in the 100m.

I have worked in Housekeeping for over 10 years in private houses and nurseries. My whole life I have been looking after people from my mother to my own family. I really feel it is at the core of what I love to do and why I am so pleased to be working in the care industry. It’s a joy to come to work every day in such a family orientated home – my second family! There is always something different happening on a daily basis in the home. As housekeeping supervisor it gives me great pleasure to see how happy the extra little things we do makes the residents day and getting positive feedback about how the work my team does helps our residents daily lives.
When I’m not at work I enjoy spending time with and looking after Grandchildren, reading books, walking around London and fresh coffee!
