I always found during my husband's residency here that the staff have always been welcoming and helpful to me and my husband likes his time here and they are very helpful too. All in all it's an excellent place and I look forward to when I am more incapacitated to live here myself.
We are so pleased that your husband enjoys living with us so much. Thank you for your kind feedback.
My mother settled in very quickly largely due to the wonderful staff. They are welcoming and relaxed which made it an easy transition. The home is very comfortable with fantastic amenities, including a cinema, cafe and sitting rooms off the main area that residents can use with their visitors if they want privacy. The rooms/flats are spacious and light, the food is excellent and the activities are "spot on". Art classes, history of art lectures, poetry readings and an eclectic array of musicians who come to play in the afternoons. The staff go above and beyond to ensure the residents feel included and that there is always something interesting to take part in should they choose. It's Christmas and the home looks beautifully festive. We could not be more grateful to have found somewhere where our mother is truly happy.
Your mother is a pleasure to have living with us and really adds to the social life. It's always lovely to see you visit her so often as well, and I hope you had a lovely Christmas.
My mother came to Wandsworth Common Care Home for just under two weeks, while I travelled for work. She has no greater care needs than any other 92-year-old with a slow memory and a bag of pills! The care home is more like a hotel with beautifully appointed rooms and common areas, a cinema and a hairdresser. The staff were amazing, kind, thoughtful and always on hand. The food was good, even for a picky eater, and the family were welcome to have meals with her too when they came to visit. Mum is from Yorkshire, so the compliments don't flow easily, but even she said she enjoyed it and would come back! My threats to put her in a care home, every time she dead heads my prize flowers will hold little sway now! Thank you to everyone for looking after her and giving me peace of mind.
Thank you for your lovely review, it has been a pleasure to get to know you both. Your mother was always so happy and grateful for everything here, it was just a shame she was not here for longer but is always very welcome to come and stay again. We hope to see you again soon.
My father stayed for a two week respite in the dementia ward at Wandsworth Common Care Home. Arrangements and communication with management in organising the stay was seamless. Every time I visited my father seemed well cared for in a peaceful relaxed atmosphere on the 4th floor. All the carers are lovely, interacting with kindness with the residents and they all knew of my father’s specific needs. It was a relief to know he was well cared for.
Thank you for your kind words. Your father is such a lovely man and a pleasure to be around. The door is always open should you wish for him to have another stay here.
My mother has been a resident at this care home for just over two years now and I have to say we could not be happier. The care is second to none, the activities are just up her street and we always love the food every time we come to join her for a meal. The fact they have a driver to take her to appointments really helps us out as a family, she could not be happier. Thank you all for everything you do.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review. Your mother is such fun and so involved in everything we do here. It's also great that all your family spend so much time here, you are always welcome and so is your lovely doggy!
What impresses me so much about this care home is that they actually care. This seems to be driven from the top by the leader of the team. Despite the fact that the home is immaculate, luxurious, attractive, well equipped and furnished - all that is not as important in my opinion as the attitude and values of all the team members I have met. They truly value the individual in their care. They want them to be as independent and happy as they possibly can be and they are passionate about making the care home experience the best they can for sometimes very vulnerable residents. I especially valued their kindness and sensitivity in helping me, at very short notice, move my very elderly aunt into the home and they were so kind to her and to us. I’m so impressed and very grateful. Thank you to the manager and team.
Thank you so much for leaving us such a lovely review. Care is at the core of what we do, and the whole team work hard to support our residents, allowing them to retain as much independence as they wish. Your aunt is such a lovely lady, we all fell for her immediately, and it's so lovely to see her making friends and getting involved already. I will make sure all the team see your kind words.
So pleased we moved my aunt to Wandsworth Common Care Home-Avery Collection with wonderful staff and facilities so has settled in nicely and has a new lease on life.
Thank you for your kind words. Your aunt certainly does have a new lease of life, it's lovely she has made friends so quickly and is joining in with the activities. See you soon.
What a wonderful facility. The team are very supportive, the location is excellent and most importantly, my friend is settled and happy.
Thank you for such a glowing review. We are all so pleased your friend has settled so quickly and look forward to seeing you soon.
Secondly, the home promises lots of extras all included in the price e.g. outings, a cinema, good food, but that's not the reality. The majority of residents say they are unhappy with the quality of the food, there is now only a part-time driver, so no one has been out for months. The movie subscription got suspended. They take a direct debit every month but, despite asking persistently, residents are not given itemised bills. There is no refund to the residents for not delivering on all the things they promise; everything the owners fail to deliver on simply helps their profit margin grow.
I thoroughly appreciated my stay at Avery's Very friendly staff., excellent atmosphere and well looked after throughout. With the exception of a few carers (mostly Temporary), all were most helpful and nothing was too much trouble
It was a pleasure to meet you and have you stay here. I am so pleased you made such a good recovery and looking so much better when you left. I will tell the team of your kind words. Both of you take care of yourselves.
My grandfather moved in recently and is being very well looked after - wonderful services would certainly recommend it. The staff are friendly and the day-to-day operation looks well structured and is clearly well suited to all backgrounds and requirements.
Thank you for your review. Your grandfather is settling in well here and has already made some friends through activities and use of our cinema. Looking forward to seeing you here again soon.
Your staff in all departments made a difficult few weeks easier not only for dad but for us all. We are hugely grateful.
It was lovely to meet you all and we were so pleased to see your dad make such good progress. We wish them both well and hope they are continuing to improve. I will pass your lovely message on to the team here.
My auntie has been at Wandsworth for over a year and we couldn’t be happier with the dementia staff, the overall running of the care and the facility at the care home. From the house keepers, to the reception, to the chief, all staff members have been fantastic. Without the home my auntie may not have been with us now and we can’t thank them enough. I highly recommend them.
Thank you so much for your lovely words. Our team work very hard for our residents, so I will make sure they all see this message. Your auntie is such a character and a big part of our home, we all adore her!
The food is excellent - restaurant standard and all the staff in the dining room are also so friendly and caring.
The quality of the home is excellent, beautifully decorated and appointed. It is always spotless and the housekeeping and maintenance team work very hard to maintain it. I feel very safe in the knowledge that my mother is being well looked after.
Thank you so much for these wonderful words. The teams really all work hard, so it's nice to see it is appreciated. I will make sure they all see your review as I know it will mean a lot to them. You and your mother are both lovely and bring such joy to the home.
A huge thank you. I don’t know what we would have done without you. The health of a close elderly friend I had been looking after suddenly deteriorated and we urgently needed to find full-time residential care. After a few care homes failed to even get back to me, we were lucky enough to find the Client Liaison Manager at Wandsworth. She was just fantastic, very sympathetic, understood the urgency of our situation, and along with the Residential Care Manager went above and beyond to make everything happen and ensure a very swift and smooth transition to the home for my friend. The staff were wonderful – kind, caring and sensitive – which made my friend feel safe and brought her peace of mind at such a challenging time. Although no longer with us, I know she would want me to pass on her many, many thanks to all at Wandsworth Common Care Home who made her last few months so much nicer, surrounded by familiar and caring faces. Thank you for the kind support of the team in looking after me too!
Thank you for your kind review Caroline. Our team really appreciate such positive feedback, particularly at such a difficult time. Thank you for your support and please accept our condolences on the loss of your dear friend.
The home is a lovely place with a great little garden and lots to do. My aunt is very happy with her bedroom and lounge and is gradually bringing her own things to make it more like home. She has taken a while to settle in but the staff have been very good with her, jollying her along when she has felt low. On the one occasion when she had a fall in the middle of the night, they were very quick to take action and make sure she was seen by a doctor.
Thank you for your lovely review - we really enjoy having your aunt as part of our community and she makes us smile daily! We do endeavour to cater to everyone's needs regarding food and will spend some more time with her to ensure her food options are absolutely to her taste. Thank you.
My mother came to Signature at Wandsworth for respite care following a stay in the hospital after a fall. She was very weak, unmotivated and not eating well. The superb staff at Signature renewed her zest for life, strengthened her up and got her to eat a healthy amount again. It wasn't an easy task, but they managed it with great dedication and good humour.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this; I will be sure to pass these comments on to all the team here. Your mother is missed here, and I hope she is doing well still - our doors are always open should you need us.
It wasn't easy coming up with the funds. However, once my family worked out the cost of 24-hour care and compared it to all the facilities at Signature at Wandsworth Common, it convinced us we had made the right decision.
Thank you for your lovely message. Your mum is an absolute joy to be around and has settled into our community so quickly. She is really getting involved with other residents and with our activities which is great to see. We look forward to getting to know her, you and the rest of your family; you are always welcome!
As always, excellent atmosphere and great attention shown to all.
Thank you for your glowing review. I will pass the comments on to the team, as it means a great deal that their hard work is appreciated.
Our experince was a positive one. The staff are excellent, friendly and kind. My mum made steady progress week on week. We felt that she was safe and in good hands. This is a very proper outfit - top work!
We were all so delighted to meet you and get to know your mother. Even more pleased that she felt well and confident enough to return home having received a period of care with us. Please send her our love!

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!
