Having been in various homes with elderly relations, Avocet House is the best one ever. From walking in the door the home is full of smiles and happiness. The staff are amazing which reflects on the residents who are also full of smiles. They have an agenda of activities every week. Most of them are having fun times, but they also have discussions of their memories, which are wonderful to listen to. Visitors are always encouraged to join in, offered a drink and made welcome. My husband and I are always happy to go and never rush to come away. It is absolutely wonderfully amazing.

As a family we couldn't have wished for a better home for dad to spend his last few months. From the moment we stepped in Avocet House, we instantly knew this was home for Dad. The standard of care is second to none, from the cleanliness, the quality of food, facilities, the liaison with outside agencies which is only down to the high expectation of the care staff at Avocet provided. Absolutely incredible, caring and compassionate staff that we will hold dearly in our hearts for the care they gave. Thanks.

Friendly and excellent care. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the team, always lovely and warm and spotless cleanliness every where. When my mother came to avocet house for rest bite her mobility was very poor and she was unable to walk and use the bathroom, within a short time she was able to walk with a frame and use the bathroom with help then with wonderful care she was able to progress to a walker and was able to get about by herself and use the bathroom by herself, after such wonderful care she was able to return to her bungalow, she was very happy while she was in avocet house and although she is pleased to be home she does miss the wonderful team and residents. Our family are very grateful to all the team at Avocet House.

My grandmother is in Advocet and has been since last year. The care staff are amazing, so attentive and caring, fantastic care, rare to see these days. Every time I visit the home is immaculate. Fresh cakes available for everyone, just makes it an even better experience to visit. Beautiful different rooms we can spend time together, staff always so accommodating with drinks, food, meals, I'm never afraid to ask for anything. It's a home away from home, she's been allowed her personal items in her room, which makes it so much more personal. The home puts on events we can all go to and residents get involved. The staff make sure even residents that want to stay in their rooms are also involved. I just really want to thank everyone involved in her care. I couldn't ask for more. Thank you.

My Mother came for 2 weeks of respite care. The staff were very supportive and kind and all the care needs were met. The only negative comment was the food quality was "adequate" and the mashed potato was poor! Apart from that it was a very positive experience and the staff were great. Thank you.

I had a warm welcome on arrival and that continued throughout my stay. The staff were excellent, without exception, and nothing was ever too much trouble for them, no matter how minor your request. The rooms were extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean.

I am impressed by the dedication of the carers working in difficult circumstances with my wife who has Alzheimer’s and can exhibit challenging behaviours. Some staff are especially gifted. Staff are always polite and responsive but, I would say, stretched too far by the demands of the residents in their care. The rooms are luxurious. The carpeting ideal for reducing possible injuries from falls. There is space for those who, like my wife, need to walk the length of the building and there are interesting views. All the luxury though is compromised if staff are unable to give the standard of care they would wish because there are not enough feet on the ground.
Thank you for your review. Our Home Manager operates an open door policy, she would be happy to sit down and discuss any concerns or feedback you may have. We are very proud of the team members we have at Avocet House and look forward to sharing your review witht them.
Would consider being here myself.
