Review from R M (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 17 September 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother in law has been very happy here since the day she arrived. The staff, all of the staff, have made her feel very comfortable and really brought her out of herself, encouraging her to mix with other residents and join in activities, no mean feat! She is full of praise for Avon Valley and this
has taken a real weight off my wife's shoulders. I cannot praise Avon Valley enough as they also make us and all her family and friends very welcome when they visit.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum has been a resident at Avon Valley now for 3 months and from the outset, she has been extremely happy. All the staff are amazing, friendly and nothing is ever too much trouble.
The meals provided are tasty, well presented and varied and in the 3 months Mum has been here she has gained 9lbs of
much-needed weight.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has Alzheimers and has been here 2 months. This is a beautiful home with caring, attentive staff, from management to housekeeping, we have had a warm welcome. The food is fresh and beautifully presented. The wellbeing staff are encouraging and all the residents join in with a variety of daily
activities. While visiting, which is encouraged and can be any time, we are offered refreshments and can enjoy these with my mum in a variety of sitting areas both inside and out as the balconies have lovely views and the garden is lovely. The staff and residents have welcomed my mum into what is her new extended family, the time was right and everyone deserves a home like this.

Review from Anthony S (Son of Resident) published on 9 August 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We struggled for a long time to find a suitable care home that could take both Mum (dementia) and Dad (Parkinson's). Avon Valley opened in May 19 and we enquired about places, initially for Dad and eventually for Mum, that they might be together and cared for. The home is new, hence all the excellent
gradings, built and run to a very high standard. The setup from environment, to staff, to food, facilities and activities, all looks to be excellent.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.672)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.672) out of 10 for Avon Valley Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 44 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.672 for Avon Valley Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (379 Excellents x 5) + (123 Goods x 4) + (25 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 527 Ratings = 4.672
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Avon Valley Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 44 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 78 registered maximum number of service users is 15.6, which has been reached with 44 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Alyson Day

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2019

Hello, my name is Alyson, and I am delighted to be the Home Manager here at Avon Valley.


Joining and commissioning Avon Valley Care Home in 2019 was a dream come true. I have successful developed my staff into good ways of practice and built a team that are proud and respectful of what they do. My passion for this home comes not only from my 40 years’ experience within the healthcare sector but also from my own personal life. I’ve had a very personal experience of a loved one needing dementia care, and I understand the emotional turmoil and difficulty in letting go or trusting someone else to care for that person.


Prior to becoming a Home Manager, my previous roles within the sector have been Residential Service Officer, Care Assistant, Nurse Auxiliary and Deputy Manager. I have also developed my skills by achieving qualifications such as NVQ Level 2, 3 and 4, and also ILM.


Within this time, I have shared many treasurable moments with the residents I have had the pleasure to meet along the way. Seeing my residents smile each day brings the motivation to perform my role at the highest level.


I would best describe myself as someone who is friendly and approachable. If you would ever need assistance with anything, I will always be on hand to help. In my spare time, I love spending time with my family, gardening and I can’t wait to be able to travel once restrictions are eased.


Avery Healthcare, owners of Avon Valley, strives to be the best in care, providing high-quality services whilst offering its best support to its staff member. Our home is truly unique as we offer luxurious facilities such as our beautifully landscaped gardens and cinema room. Not to forget about the stunning views of Lansdown.


I look forward to welcoming you into our loving care community.
