* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 9.7 (maximum of 10) for Avery House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 66 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Avery House Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 34 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.729 for Avery House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (592 Excellents x 5) + (177 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 787 Ratings = 4.729
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Avery House Care Home is based on 34 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 17.2 positive Reviews (86 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 34 Reviews ÷ 17.2 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Avery House Care Home has a Review Score of 9.7 (9.729) from 66 Reviews

My mum has been a resident of Avery House Care Home for 3 and a half years. Throughout this time, she has always been treated with respect, dignity, kindness and care. All staff, carers and general staff (kitchen, cleaning, maintenance, activities) are professional and very caring.
I would not hesitate to recommend Avery House Care Home and would willingly live here myself if the need arose in future.

Amazing, patient, centred care has helped my mother to settle into Avery House Care Home despite living in London since 1950.
Lovely surroundings, close to shops, green spaces and amenities but most importantly extremely caring staff and very hands-on manager. P.S. I love the contact with the young students doing their DofE.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Kerry G (Great-Niece of Resident) on Monday 9 October 2017. Relates to September 2017.
My great aunt moved from her home of 50 years into Avery House Care home in May 2017. This was a huge lifestyle change and initially, she was upset as she could no longer live independently. The management and staff were extremely kind, caring and welcoming and this gave us (her family) huge comfort knowing she would receive the care and attention she required. The facilities and room were homely, clean and a very high standard. Unfortunately, my aunt died of a heart attack in September 2017 and the kindness, support and care they gave not only to my aunt but the family, went above and beyond expectations. They are simply amazing.

My mother-in-law moved into this care home in September. Before that she was in hospital for 10 days, previously having lived in her own home with carers attending.
The team at this care home were excellent in the way they came to the hospital to assess Mum and explained all the procedures very clearly when my wife and I previously visited the care home. The transfer by the NHS was smooth and the welcome at the home was comforting and well carried out. Mum has a lovely light room and has settled in well with excellent support from all the staff. This move has taken a lot of stress out of our lives.

Welcome - first class, better than any other I have encountered. Staff generally caring, although some will rise to provocation - only human, focus on dementia.
Activities treated as a priority - not as an optional extra as elsewhere.
Any below standard staff do not last long. Comprehensive training, some of which I have experienced in my capacity as a volunteer with the activities team.
Management team - very strong, there is not one of them I wouldn't have employed myself when in business.

I cannot praise Avery House enough. My friend has been in for a month now, and every time I go, the staff are so friendly, welcoming and so caring to the residents. I tell my friend 'it is like being in a hotel'. This afternoon they had the most fantastical musical afternoon. The residents were so happy, singing and joining in the dancing. The carers really 'care', and enjoy working there. Lovely people.

My father is a resident at Avery House. He is on the dementia floor. He is very well cared for, his depression has lifted because he has activities and exercises to do. He loves his food and is now content. I am so relieved that he is content and delighted with the staff at Avery House. They have a fantastic team and an amazing ethos.

The first time I arrived at Avery House to visit my sister-in-law I was taken aback by the whole appearance, I thought I was in a 5 star hotel. The receptionist was very courteous and helpful, the members of staff I found equally helpful. The home is kept immaculately clean and up to date with its decor, my sister-in-law's room on the ground floor overlooks a beautiful garden through her patio doors. Every day there's a full itinerary of activities for the residents and trips out. The residents are treated with respect and kindness, I came away knowing that my sister-in-law is well cared for and happy.

Excellent care. The friendliness of the staff, always made to feel welcome, nothing is too much trouble. I feel if there was a problem, it would be sorted, hassle free. I feel that within the last 4 months my brother's health and wellbeing has 'shot up' because of the care and attention that is given to him by home. Thank you Avery House.

Avery House has a lovely setting and within a dedicated team of carers plus all of the other roles - managers, administrators, activities people, housekeepers, catering and maintenance staff - whose work is vital to provide a safe, secure and welcoming home for elderly people.
It is a fairly large home which affords a highly-developed organisation but it still has a warm feel to it because the staff are friendly, and as it has four floors, each floor is like a little home in itself. I've always observed that residents are treated with warmth and dignity and I know that my mother is well looked after here.

My wife was a resident of Avery House for five months until January 2017. She has Alzheimers and has difficulty in communicating her needs.
The management and staff managed her difficulties with care and imagination and were always ready to chat and distract her if she was agitated or upset, over and above what was expected.
Any problems were dealt with immediately. There was always a friendly welcome and I felt she was in a safe, secure environment.
She was settled, enjoyed the activities. Unfortunately, her condition deteriorated to a point where she had to leave for a more suitable environment. Many thanks to Avery House.

Mum has been at Avery House Care Home for 5 years and has been happy most of that time. The staff are friendly and helpful and it is nice to know mum is being cared for in a well-run care home. I would recommend Avery House Care Home to others who are looking for care for a loved one in Peterborough. The management and team are always available if any concerns need to be raised and take any action if required in a timely manner. All in all a good home with the good staff.

Avery House Care Home is like your own home. That feeling of security and safety is all around the home. A smile and kind word can make the difference when you are not with loved ones every day.

Dad came here as a lonely 87 year old who had lost his confidence following a fall. In the time he has been here he has become part of a friendly and supportive community which has helped restore his quality of life, I would not trust his care to just anyone and searched for a while to find the right place for him. Avery House is definitely it and I would recommend it highly.

In the two year's my uncle has been a resident I've visited virtually every week and I've never seen or heard anything going on which has caused me any concern. The staff say they want to treat residents as they would want their own mother/father to be treated and this comes across.

The standard of care is of the highest standard, from the management, carers, cleaners, kitchen staff etc. The manager is always available to hear your worries and concerns. She has a way or reassuring you.
My husband has been difficult since his admission, but thanks to all the staff, he is now beginning to settle. The carers are very friendly and caring to both the residents and their families. We can visit at any time which is a bonus. I have already recommended to family, and they are now here. Family more than happy.

Very friendly and welcoming home. Excellent caring staff, good quality food, well cooked and served. My wife has been in 4 different residential homes in the area and this is by far the best.

The care both my mum and mother-in-law receives here is beyond words, the staff treat them both like their own mum's as I would expect. The home is managed very professionally and take great care to make sure all the resident's needs are met and also have time for the families at all times. My mum has settled very well here after trying two other homes who couldn't meet her needs. The care here is so good. I have already put my name down for a room when I am ready, Seriously.

I believe it would be very difficult to find another care home where residents could have better care. Any needs are attended to promptly and staff are cheerful and friendly. Their attitude towards relatives is first class. Any concerns are always discussed and satisfactory outcomes achieved. If my husband was not happy there I would know just by looking at him! The leadership of the management team permits through all departments.

Dad has been in the home for 18 months he was in fair health when he arrived, but has deteriorated in the last few weeks. He is cared for very well, on the whole. Sometimes I find that messages do not get passed on, But the staff are very friendly, quite a high turn over through, sadly.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by L-A (Daughter of Resident) on Saturday 5 March 2016. Relates to March 2016.
Avery House has restored my faith in residential care. My mother who suffers from Alzheimers was initially admitted for emergency respite care when my father was hospitalised but is now permanent. I have been impressed with the very good care shown as well as the approachability and friendliness of staff who listen and try to accommodate clients' needs. Medical care has been good and appropriate. My father is now also in residential care at Avery House, initially for respite following his hospitalisation, but has now requested to stay and he really likes it there.
It was a welcome surprise to be invited for a care review for both parents to discuss any concerns or issues I might have had. I was also grateful of the offer of an escort for a hospital appointment.
For me the only improvement is that there seems to be a loss of personal clothing through the laundry process.
I have been a carer from afar and wish I could find somewhere equivalent on the South Coast closer to my home.

My father is looked after in a very caring way. My mother in law and her sister were also residents and we were very happy with the care they received before my father became a resident. He did try other care homes but we felt they were not the standard of Avery House.

Overall we are very satisfied with the care home and the care given to my mother since she went into Avery House in September 2014. The staff are kind and courteous, but sometimes there seems to be a shortage of staff. My mother's worst fear was going into a care home, but she has coped remarkably well and that is obviously because of the care she receives.

The staff were very welcoming and kind. They assessed my father quickly and efficiently to get him the aids he needed to help him. The staff listened carefully to him and us to make sure he was happy. The food was excellent and family were invited to join mealtimes. When he went into hospital a member of staff stayed with him until we arrived and the manager and her assistant visited him. They were very caring and he liked them.

Avery House has been a lifesaver for my father and me. Following a stroke, he was withdrawn, not getting out of bed or washing (even with carers) while living in his own home. Once in Avery, he was helped out of bed in the mornings. He is clean and happy. He is well fed and can mix with others though chooses often to eat in his room. He is helped with all daily activities. The staff are very caring and compassionate, despite my father having some inappropriate behaviour. The home is well run. Every one smiles and chats when I visit (daily). My only negative points are it is quite expensive compared to some other homes. But are they as good as Avery?

I am very pleased with the overall care in Avery House. Nice clean environment, a happy place. All staff very kind to residents and families, occasionally they seem understaffed but try hard to care for everyone. They do need more activities as in the last few months I haven't seen or heard as much singing going on and other activities.

My mum has been in Avery House for several years. We are both very happy with the level of care she receives. The staff are very friendly and show interest in mum's wider family. Communication is generally very good. I would certainly recommend Avery House to anyone looking for care for an elderly relative.
