A very close elderly friend was in Acer House for four years before she was like a second mum to me so wanted her to have the best care possible. I couldn't fault her years there. The amazing care from the staff, the wonderful social activities it felt like being in your own home. During my friend's illness and death, she was treated with dignity.
My Mum, who’s had vascular dementia for 10 years, was at Acer House in Weston-super-Mare from Oct 2019 to Sept 2020, and this is to give my unreserved praise to, the manager, and her staff for their work before and during lockdown. Before March, the excellent care was bolstered still further by various activities to help keep people’s mental faculties alive, and during lockdown, the staff have done an excellent job at keeping the home 100% Covid-free. Inevitably though, recent months have presented fresh challenges for mental health, and while regular Skype calls have been arranged, sadly Mum’s dementia is such that she never really understood what she was experiencing. In that regard, I do feel that Acer’s parent company needs to get more creative about how to support the mental, as well as physical wellbeing of the people in their care, although as for Acer House specifically, I continue to have nothing but praise for the care, support and expertise provided by the manager and her team.
My mother is always treated well and is happy in the home. The food is very good and she has made friends. She always enjoys trips out.
I don't know where to start. Before lockdown, the home, in my opinion, was run to an excellent standard. The care, the friendliness of the staff - fantastic. The cleaners, the ladies who do the laundry, the hostess who my husband calls the 'cake lady' - all contribute to the running of the home. I've no doubt, that during lockdown, anything has changed except the carers have worked even harder to occupy the residents where there has been no visiting. Well done Acer House.
The staff at Acer House are always kind and caring. They go above and beyond to make residents happy and safe. While in lockdown the staff helped my husband with video calls so I could speak to him. I have been informed of all the precautions that have been put in place from the beginning.
The management do not seem to be very approachable and are quite distant, and have been changed 5 times in 4 years. The garden area needs updating as it seems to have been ignored, having said that, the home has a nice warm, friendly atmosphere and we always feel welcomed by all.
The care given to my mum has been second to none. The staff have always been polite and helpful. The care given during this difficult time has been of excellent quality.
"Many, many heartfelt thanks to all the staff".
My father has been living at Acer for the last nine months. The care he has received has been excellent. Both his physical and mental well-being are catered for. The food prepared is tasty and plentiful. The staff members we have dealt with have been very caring and thoughtful. We have absolutely no issues with any aspect of the care provided. We feel very relaxed knowing he is receiving first-class care.
I have visited Acer House on a number of occasions to see my aunty and as I walk through the reception area I always think I am walking into a 5 star hotel environment. The only way you can see it is not, are the fact that there are lots of staff in nursing type uniform. It's always clean and tidy and all of the staff are friendly. I can only say it is a purpose-built care home with happy residents, in fact, I could live there myself.
Overall, I felt the quality of my stay to be very good. I would recommend Acer House to other people.
My room is so spacious and kept to the highest standard.
The meals I have had are really nice and tasty. I could tell that a lot of thought had gone in the planning of the menu. The carers are the best I have come across. So willing to please, nothing is too much trouble. So professional, that goes to all staff that are helping to run this exceptional home.
My husband seems quite content in Acer House. The staff are kind and helpful. I think his condition has improved due to the stimulation of the activities.
The care at Acer House was excellent and my father settled well. The carers helped him with all his needs.
We used Acer House for respite and will certainly be using them again.
I can't recommend Acer House enough for all the help and care they give my father and the support they gave our family.
The Manager and Deputy were so kind in contributing towards arranging Moms arrival to her room and assistance in helping her to settle, which was not easy.
Any concerns with Moms health have always been addressed by staff, i.e.contacting Doctors, Community Nurses etc.
Always plenty of interesting activities and good standard entertainment always set up by the Activities manager who also excels in her work.
It was nice to see Dad relaxed amongst other people, being happy, enjoying his meals in pleasant surroundings. Nice to know that at any time we could come and see him, or take him out for the day knowing that he slept well and could be interactive if he wanted to. Many thanks to all staff for making Dad's stay as pleasant as could be.
Before moving to Acer House Care Home, my mother living at home was often scared, frightened, not eating well and despite as much family involvement as we could manage, generally unhappy. Now Mother is relaxed, enjoys painting, has begun knitting again after many years, is eating well and reports to me (her daughter) that all the staff are very kind and helpful to her. She now smiles a lot and enjoys laughing and joking with other staff and residents.
My mother has been a resident in Acer House Care Home for four and a half years, initially with my father who died in the home in February 2015 having been wonderfully cared for by the staff. I feel so lucky to have had such fantastic care provided for my parents. I visit three times a week and it is reassuring to see how happy my mother is in Acer House. I have never had a significant issue with the level of care. The staff are amazing, managers, carers and domestic they all do a great job.
It's an excellent care home. The staff are very helpful, kind and full of fun to residents and visitors. All the fresh flowers are very uplifting and changed regularly.
The bedrooms and public rooms are well appointed.
All in all a happy environment to be in.
This has to be the best residential home in Weston. The staff are caring, they treat residents with respect and dignity. The food is home cooked and delicious. The staff care for the family as well as the resident when things are difficult. The home is clean and well equipped with no nasty smells. Superb in every way.

Hello, my name is Sam, and I am delighted to be the Home Manager here at Acer House.
I have 20 years of experience within the healthcare sector and have achieved qualifications including Levels 2, 3, and 5 Health and Social Care Diplomas, PTTLS Level 3, and Level 3 Health and Safety. Working in residential and nursing settings, I have been lucky enough to have a variety of roles including, a Carer/Senior Carer, Home trainer, Housekeeping, Chef, Activities Co-ordinator, and Deputy Manager, gaining plenty of experience and valuable skills.
Within this time, I have shared many treasurable moments with the residents I have had the pleasure to meet along the way. One moment that I will cherish throughout my career was when I had the privilege to be taught how to knit by a very skilful resident living with dementia. It is such a great talent to withhold, and you will now often find me trying to join in with our knit-and-natter club.
I would best describe myself as someone who is very passionate, determined, and strong-minded. In my spare time, I spend most weekends cheering my son on from the sidelines at his football matches and love relaxing in the garden with my family.
Avery Healthcare, owners of Acer House, best stands out for their spacious, luxurious rooms, exceptional well-being programmes and highly trained, dedicated staff. And Acer House is no different. Our home is ideally situated in Weston-super-Mare, next to a beautiful park and boules green which is a favourite amenity amongst our residents.
I look forward to welcoming you to the Acer House community.
