Avocet House is the jewel in the crown of care homes. Everyone should aspire to meet their high standards. All the staff are amazing with tremendous work ethic. They are kind patient and compassionate and that follows through to residents relatives. The home is immaculate with each room and communal area cleaned daily. A good choice of food is offered at each meal time and snacks and drinks available between meals. They also have a full programme of activities all residents are encouraged to join in. I will be forever grateful for the care my husband received at Avocet House. All I wanted was the best for him and he certainly got it!

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.

Excellent level of care and service. Great facilities enjoyed by residents. Regular activities and friendly staff. My mother in law is very happy in Avocet House and we are confident that she is in safe hands.

Partner has dementia, previous home used for daytime respite would no longer take her, due to her wandering, toileting issues etc. Have now used Avocet House 3 times for 8 hours respite. Really impressed with the facilities, staff, friendliness and understanding shown. Also the flexibility of times, which enabled me to attend evening events.

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.

We have found all the staff to be caring, kind and helpful. The room we were a guest in for two weeks was luxurious and comfortable. The food has been good and there's been a varied selection. My husband's needs were all met and we will be booking again for respite care. Thank you.

My husband went in for respite a weekend while I took a weekend away to see a show. Looked beautifully clean and he was treated very well and made very welcome. Unfortunately when he came home he fell trying to turn off a fan. Hurt his hip called 999 who came very quickly but he died. He so much wanted me to go and you looked after him lovely. Thank you so much.

Found this care home by accident. Once entering no other care home we had seen came close to this one. Everything about it was excellent we even compared it to a particular hotel. The staff were great the house manager the care manager the seniors nothing was too much trouble.

I have noticed a 100% improvement in my father's health and emotional well-being since he was admitted to Avocet House. I am quite stunned by the beautiful environment, which is designed and decorated to a very high standard. The standard of care at Avocet House is excellent. I have worked in care homes for most of my life and this home is the best I have ever encountered.

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 have had a friend in this care home for two years. The home is friendly, warm and welcoming. The staff are wonderful, laundry, cooks, cleaners, care and administration all work together to make it feel like one big family. My spotlessly clean, as everyone else, her meals are always tailored to her needs, but most of all she is loved and cared for and she is very happy. It is so difficult letting your loved ones be cared for by someone else but I have no concerns with any friend being here. She is very happy and her smile tells me her own story.

A positive and welcoming environment that enables a home-from-home feel as residents can have lots of personal items around them. Staff give time, reassurance, and encouragement to enable my mum to become as independent as she can while ensuring she is safe and her well-being is met. My mum says. "I feel safe and happy now I am at Avocet".

I attended the summer fete. Staff were attentive, as always, and residents were clearly their priority. The staff worked as a great team together to ensure everyone had a good time, even the managers were dancing with the residents and ensuring everyone had what they needed. The food was excellent, entertainment was very good. Whenever I visit Avocet House Care Home, I am made to feel welcome. Nothing is too much trouble, it is homely and the atmosphere is friendly.

My brother and I find all the staff at the home very friendly, kind and approachable. They treat our mother with respect and dignity and we are sure she is content and very comfortable living at Avocet.

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.

Nice place for Mum to be. Pleased with care. Would consider being here myself.

My grandfather has been living at Avocet House since February. The home has a real friendly atmosphere and this definitely shows when you walk into the home. The staff are great at their jobs and made my grandfather welcome and settled when he moved in. There is an open-door policy with regards to speaking to the management team and you are always made to feel welcome. The food looks very appetising and gets my grandfather's approval and the homemade cakes are delicious. My grandfather is very happy and as a family, we know we made the right decision in choosing Avocet House.
