Avondale Care Home

Both my mother and Aunt are residents at Avondale. The home is only a 5 minute walk from my residence and I am able to pop down on a regular basis. Since they have been at Avondale I have peace of mind that they are cared for 24/7. They are both very happy and content in their surroundings and extremely well cared for.

Well pleased, verbal report available on request.

Cannot praise this care home enough. My mother was there for over 4 years until her death in December aged 107. I cannot fault their support, care and help over that period of time and they were a great comfort to me and my wife. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Mother was very happy there, wanting for nothing. This home is on a par with a 5-star hotel.

Always leave the home knowing that the level of care given to my father is how I would care for him if I could.

The nursing team manager, in particular, managed to achieve a wonderful balance between empathy, practicality and care that I’m sure is rare.

Please extend my personal thanks to everyone and in particular, to those I’ve mentioned above.

Thank you for the fantastic care you have provided to my mother-in-law. She spent the last 5 years of her life here and the staff has been amazing. Avondale Care Home was her home and made her feel safe and secure throughout her time. We cannot praise you highly enough.

The building is bright, airy, clean, attractive and extremely well designed for its purpose. From entering the glass doors, the atmosphere is warm and friendly and the manner of the staff both welcoming and friendly. Very reassuring.

My sister was terminally ill when she moved to Avondale. The staff did everything they could to help her be as safe and comfortable as possible. They were also supportive of family members through this extremely difficult and distressing time.

The Bistro area was a particularly valuable and appreciated feature (with tea, coffee etc on offer, as well as freshly made biscuits and cakes plus fresh fruit), giving us all a welcome taste of normality.

My sister's room was clean and comfortable. We were encouraged to "customise" it to make it as homely as possible for my sister.

The dining arrangements were also flexible and to a high standard.

I hope that if I should need care in the future, I will be able to stay in a home like Avondale.

My wife entered Avondale Care Home at the end of July 2017. She was terminally ill. Avondale were excellent in everything they did for her during the 3 months she was a resident. She passed away at the end of October.

Prior to visiting Avondale, when looking for a home where my wife would spend her last days, I had very negative views of care homes in general - they were all old, smelly, understaffed with poor care. How wrong I was! I thoroughly and unreservedly recommend Avondale to all I speak to.

I came here following an operation, not at all well. I cannot speak too highly of the medical care and I have had the pleasure of staying here. The food has been very good, plentiful and the atmosphere so friendly and calm. I am going home tomorrow and wanted to say thank you.

My father recently died in Avondale Care Home. During his last weeks and months, he was cared for by kind, friendly and professional staff who showed him the greatest of respect and compassion. Although unable to do anything at all for himself he was extremely well looked after by a team of staff who genuinely took the time to get to know him and anticipate his needs. Seeing how upset many of the staff were when he died was further evidence that the home treats their residents as family rather than customers.

Thank you for helping make Dad's last few difficult years as comfortable as possible.

Very welcoming care home. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would recommend Avondale to anyone.

It is excellent.

My mum had excellent care during her stay, thank you for making the last months of mums life comfortable.

Many, many thanks.

My husband had two weeks respite care and the process of arranging his admission was dealt with professionally and promptly. The staff were very kind to him and he seemed happy.

Words cannot really express our gratitude.

A very big thank you to them all.

When you entrust a loved one to a home, you are handing over the most precious thing, and in this care, Avondale treats each person as if they are in their own family. I will always be grateful for all the care and love she received.

Cannot find fault with anything.
