My wife was a resident at Avondale for 18+ months up to July 2025. Putting someone so close into care brings many extreme emotions and concerns. Avondale could not have handled our situation better. With respect, dignity and warmth. During this time, not only did they make my wife feel at home, but they became a home from home for my family and I too. The people there are a credit to themselves. Management, staff and carers have become our friends. When my wife passed away, I felt a gratitude that her last days were spent in these surroundings. I will be eternally grateful.

Like a 5 star hotel. Rooms good, staff good, food good, excellent all round.

Mentioned clothes go missing and other items: 2 pairs of glasses have gone missing, 1 pink dressing gown, 1 pair of slippers, 2 white t-shirts, 1 brown summer dress, 1 royal blue t-shirt. Otherwise the best care home available.

Treatment of my Dad appears very good, from his arrival to date. The understanding of his illness is professional.

The staff all work very hard and never stop as when one of the staff team go off so the next staff go to work and nothing is ever too much for the staff.

My mother was in this home for six years and was really happy here. She never complained about anything. The low level of staff turnover meant that the staff all got to know her likes and dislikes and also got to know us. This was so unlike our experience of another care home. When she died, they were so caring in a difficult situation.

I would like to express my thanks and praise for the staff at Avondale. From the time I met the lady who showed me around, I and my friend were very impressed with the whole set up. On admission I was greeted by the receptionist, we were shown to my room & within a short tie you could tell that all members of the team whatever status worked closely together as a united team, so unusual in this day & age. The professional friendly care is outstanding, they introduce themselves at the beginning of each shift & whether medical nursing, care, activities or psychological support is needed they are there giving confidence & expertise. I would recommend Avondale to anyone for rehab, respite or long term care.

I would just like to thank all the staff and the manager for their genuine heartfelt love and care that they give to my grandma and that they make us feel like family. A special thanks goes to one lady who is so kind and happy and attentive to my grandma and all residents and I would like to give a special thank you.

From the moment we were shown round, my daughter and I knew there was no doubt this was the place where my husband should spend his last days. From the management right through to the carers, the care & support were outstanding. Unfortunately he was not able to fully appreciate the activities as he was mostly bed bound. It was a great comfort to us he was in safe hands for his last 3 months.

Was so impressed from just walking into reception, felt like a five star hotel, amazing welcome, amazing staff, top quality food & beverages. Residents seemed so happy, even danced to the amazing vocalist singing for everyone. Very impressed, I would love to come here when I'm older.

Great to see live entertainment and old songs residents know. lots of effort made to make the place look topical ie Valentines. Nice to see the Bistro busy.

Avondale couldn't have done more for my husband in his 12 months as a resident. The staff always went out of their way to give him the best care. The entertainment was first class and I was really impressed with the way the home was run. The staff were also very considerate in his last days and were there for me and my family.

Beautiful decorations, so well done. Food delicious. Singer was excellent. Staff fantastic, getting Mum ready and bringing her through to the party. Staff all so friendly and fun, wonderful to watch them all being so caring to every resident and their family/visitors.

My sister and I would like to thank everyone at Avondale Care Home for looking after Mum so well for the last few weeks. All of the carers were kind, professional and caring with Mum. In particular, three ladies showed exceptional skill in dealing with a very upsetting situation. We both were greeted with kindness and reassurance. It was much appreciated so thank you all again, your efforts very much helped us through a difficult period.

Excellent care in a homely environment. The staff are caring and patient. The food is delicious and is catered to all tastes. Brilliant entertainment and always something to do. Nice coffee shops for residents to take their families and lots of special events which are enjoyed by everyone. Thank you to everyone.

Great staff, friendly and my dad has loved coming here and I am very, very grateful to the staff for looking after him. It's respite care which gives me a chance to have a holiday.

What a wonderful place for Mum to live! The latest event (a Bollywood Extravaganza!) was exceptional and exciting! I haven't danced with my Mum for years, thank you!
