Over all time Wandsworth Common Care Home - Avery Collection has 84 reviews.
The staff here are wonderful and friendly. The food so far has been very good.
We are so relieved to get her into somewhere she can actually recover rather than fester as she was in the care of the NHS.
She is encouraged to get moving independently again and also to join in the social activities - which after the loneliness of the lockdown stuff, is a great benefit to mental well-being. There is a great choice of things for people to join in with.
They also are very welcoming to visitors.
It feels like a nice hotel for recovery for her and has definitely brought a sparkle back to her eyes - would like to say a spring in her step, but that may take a few more weeks of recovery.
Thank you for such a glowing review. I saw your mum coming out of the hairdresser earlier looking fabulous, and we all hope to see that spring in her step!
I have been extremely impressed with the facility so far. The staff are all polite and seem to genuinely care about the tenants. The home is very tastefully decorated and feels more like a five-star hotel than a care home.
Thank you for your review; it is very kind of you to take the time to pay the team such compliments. Your father is a lovely gentleman, and it's been equally as lovely to meet you all as well.
The kindness of the personnel is above any standard I have ever seen, and the quality of the facilities is amazing.
Very good food every day, and loads of activities to watch or even participate in.
It will sound too much, but simply everything is excellent.
Thank you so much for these kind words. It was a pleasure to have your father-in-law living with us and lovely to get to know you all.
I have been a resident here for two months. I am totally impressed by the training that has developed this staff of dedication, provision and genuine teamwork in caring and serving the residents at all levels of needs, emotional and physical, with knowledgable support and understanding.
Thank you for your review. We love having you as a resident in our home.
In the short time that you helped us look after Mum, it was clear from the start that care and compassion were at the heart of what you all do.
Every single person, from the team on the front desk through to the entertainment team, showed enormous sensitivity and tenderness towards Mum, which was a joy to see.
I wanted to thank them all as we left today, but I’m afraid the event rather overwhelmed me.
Please do pass on my family’s thanks to each and every person that played a part in making my Mum’s last few months with us a little happier.
Simply a fantastic team.
Thank you for this lovely sentiment, Douglas; I will be sure to pass it on to the team. It was a pleasure to get to know you and your family, and especially your mother, she will be missed.
I came here on a short visit as had a broken my wrist. I spent nearly three weeks at Signature. It was a pleasant stay, and found staff very friendly and helpful. One staff member, in particular, knew answers to most questions I asked her, very helpful, 10/10. Another staff member also concealed very good driving and always got me to my hospital appointments on time, 10/10. Excellent activities. Alwats plenty to keep me occupied 7-days a week at Signature - really excellent care home. Everybody very friendly - sorry to say goodbye when it was time to leave.
It was a pleasure to welcome you here. I am so pleased you enjoyed the activities and are impressed with the team. We were also sorry to say goodbye but hope to see you again soon for another stay.
Moving anyone you love into a care/nursing home can be a time full of stress and emotion, Signature made the process as smooth, friendly and professional as possible from the first phone call, through to today... even assisting my mother and I to set up a care package with an independent at-home care company.
The care team and management staff always have time for the residents and always find time to check that the family are ok and to update us with father’s status. Every fine detail is considered to ensure the resident's health and wellbeing is being looked after. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your review. We hope your father continues on his journey of improved health and wellbeing. We will miss him when he goes home!
After four weeks of respite care, that initial impression has been confirmed, and we have just completed a move from respite care to a permanent room as my client has for now decided to reside permanently at Signature. The management at Signature has been superb from the very outset. They have been totally professional and assisted every step of the way.
The care my client has received is second to none, the food is exceptional, and the all-round ambience is more like a five-star hotel than a care home. Signature is quite simply the best care home I have seen in over 30-years of practice as a lawyer, and I would recommend it without hesitation.
Thank you for submitting your review, Martin. We are so glad your client has decided to stay with us permanently, and we hope she continues to flourish here.
My mum moved in last month, having lived by herself in her own home for some 40-years. A few weeks later, and Mum is transformed; she is loving the experience of being a resident in Signature at Wandsworth. She has got all of her furniture and possessions in her lovely room, which makes it feel like her home. The staff are all absolutely delightful, filled with compassion and professionalism, and nothing is too much trouble. She has been getting involved in some of the activities, and she is enjoying the company she now has with the staff and other residents. What is lovely is that you really can choose how you want to live your life in this home, how much time you want to spend in your room and how many of the activities you want to participate in. The food is wonderful. I can't begin to say how wonderful this new life is proving to be for my mum, and for me, as all the worries I had when she was living alone are now gone. Thank you so much to all of the team; you are wonderful!
It has been great to watch your Mum settle in over this last month. Watching her form friendships with other residents has been a highlight as we were aware that companionship was very important to her. Thank you for your review.
I have been very content since my arrival in March last year. I'm getting to know people and routines. If I have any problems they are rapidly sorted by staff members. During this time it has been for me, a new experience, and I feel I'm coping quite well and it can only get better.
Thank you for your review, Frances. You are a valued resident in our home, and it's been wonderful to watch you become part of our little family here.
My mum stayed at Signature after she was discharged from hospital as I wanted her to be well looked after for a few weeks. Signature exceeded all my expectations in their care for my mum. The carers are exceptional; the food is exquisite, and the entertainment is wonderful. My mum loves it so much that she does not want to leave! I do not need to worry about my mum at all while she is at Signature. If heaven has a care home, this would be it.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We absolutely love having your Mum here. She will always be welcomed back to visit and stay again in the future.
The residents best interests are put first not financial gain. To my knowledge, this care home is unique in letting resident bring their own furniture and allowing them to be as independent as they wish provided it is safe for them to do so.
Thank you so much for such a glowing review. You are such a great part of our community here and sharing a little joke with you bring a smile to all our faces every day. Thank you again.
My mother’s move to Signature went very smoothly. I was really pleased with the speed with which all the arrangements were made. I now have peace of mind that my mother is well cared for by a team of attentive and kind people, and that there are medically qualified staff on site. The highlights for my mother are three delicious meals a day, a good range of activities, including pampering hand massages, and especially one-to-one time with carers. The reception staff are lovely.
I will pass your comments on to our reception team.
I came in for respite for two weeks. My time at Signature was a huge success, and within days, I was feeling refreshed and happier. The staff were all lovely to me. I will be returning after my planned surgery for further help and physiotherapy. Did not do much of the activities as I played Bridge online most afternoons.
My main complaint is that I slept badly. The pillow on the first night was like a brick. I got my own from home. I am used to a king bed, so am anxious about falling out of bed after my knee replacement. A larger bed next time would be very much appreciated.
Helen
All of the staff at Signature Wandsworth have made our family feel very welcome as we have adjusted to my father moving into their care. In particular, they have gone to great lengths to help my father to settle in and feel at home and have made sure that his personal interests are accommodated and made sure that company is always available. They have also accommodated his dietary requirements, and he looks forward to each meal, which is of a very high standard. In the short time (2-weeks) he has been at Signature, he has thrived. He is more alert, engaged, and most importantly, enjoying life again. Thank you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write these lovely words; your father is a pleasure to be around and a true gentleman, but with a wonderful sense of humour! It has been great to see him starting to get involved with the activities and social side of his life here, and I'm delighted to hear he is enjoying the restaurant.
All the staff and management are very caring - I will miss them all when I am gone.
Thank you for sending in your review of your time spent here. It has been a pleasure and such fun to get to know you, and I hope you feel that your stay here has helped you on your way to getting back home. We will miss you.
My father has been a resident for close to two months now, and he is absolutely thriving!
The care staff and management team have been outstanding, every step of the way.
It is a care home that is meticulously managed and maintained, full of energy, and you can really see how happy the staff are and how well-looked after the residents are.
We couldn't have asked for a better home.
We are all so pleased to see him loving living here, but it's also so important that you are happy with him living here. We shall pass your compliments on to all the team.
My aunt is so much happier with the care she is being given. She is much brighter in herself. She loves the food. All the staff are so friendly and go above and beyond to make sure my aunt is cared for and loved. I find the staff so friendly and helpful, and they will do everything they can to make visiting a pleasure.
It's so lovely to hear that you can see how happy your aunt is living here. We agree that she certainly loves the food and all the team here love spending time with her and looking after her. Thank you for your compliments.
It proved to be the correct decision as I now know my father is safe and looked after by the wonderful staff and carers at Signature at Wandsworth. I don't think he could be anywhere better, and as I am his son, it makes me feel much better feeling this way.
Thank you for these lovely words. It is a pleasure for us to look after your father, we are all very fond of him. It's so wonderful that you are able to visit him in the building so regularly, and we are so pleased you feel you have made the right decision for him.
As a family, we are very pleased with the way Signature is looking after my wife. They quickly sorted out her medication, which prior to her moving in was causing her all sorts of problems and distress. Her overall problem is dementia, but here again, we are pleased with the way the dementia team are handling the problem. Their management experience and caring make sure she engages with other residents and is helped in the daily activity programme. The people working at the home, no matter in what capacity, create a welcoming and happy atmosphere. The facilities and furnishings are incredible, and the general layout has been planned to give its residents a wide choice in terms of activity or relaxation. Finally, the dining room is five stars, with a cuisine that is mouth-watering.
Thank you so much for your lovely words; it is a pleasure to have your wife living with us and a joy to hear you know she is leading an engaging life here. It's also lovely for her to have you visit her so regularly. I will pass your comments on to all the teams who I am sure will be delighted to hear how happy you are with their hard work.

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!
