My fathers first time going into a home. Myself and my family were so worried about leaving him. We should have never been worried! The staff are so lovely, the home is lovely and clean. My dad is having the best care.

My mum has been a resident at Avocet Care Home (Harlech House) in Ipswich for over a year, and throughout that time the staff are always been compassionate and caring towards my mum. Whenever I have asked questions the staff are always helpful. I am really impressed by the positive attitude shown by
all of the caring team.

My mum is happy and settled here, which is the most important thing to my sisters and I. While not the most modern care home, there is a constant programme of improvements taking place. The carers are fantastic, as is the activities coordinator. The food is excellent, good quality and plentiful.

My aunt died on 23rd January in your care. Her care with you over the past 7 years was very good. Care and communication with relatives was 9 out of 10. She loved her time with you and considered it her home.

On Wednesday 15th of January, I was visiting my mother and like several other residents, Mum had a nasty cough and felt very unwell. A very nice lady from housekeeping came into Mum's room and we had a lovely chat about how this lady puts out fat balls and bird seed and what she does in the garden area.
My mum loves her garden at home so this really cheered Mum up after I left at 16.20 pm before tea arrived and I asked this lady to check on Mum for me, not only did she assist Mum with her meal, she was caring and patient and made Mum feel special and this morning the first thing Mum told me was how kind this lady had been. I believe anyone so caring should be made aware of how much this meant! Thank you.

My father-in-law came to respite care at Avocet Court Care Home from the hospital. All staff were prompt in meeting his needs, both physically, medically and emotionally. The communication from reception to nursing staff was exceptional. We felt that all staff were professional and friendly and we can
see such an improvement in my father-in-law in all areas. Thank you so much.

My wife always tells me when I visit that she likes the place, the food is always good, and the staff are great, I visit three times a week and have lunch as well. I always get a phone call from one of the carers as to how she is. I also believe if it wasn't for the night staff my wife would not be
here now checking
her on three occasions over the time she has been there when she had heart failure and they called emergency ambulances. I cannot thank them enough. I would recommend Avocet court if I was asked.
Thanks to all the staff.

My brother tells me he was well treated at Acovert and he got on really well with the carers who were very caring. He sends them a very big thank you for their care. As his carer and next of kin living 4 1/2 hours drive away I found communication was sometimes difficult and was not always kept in the
link, without me calling regularly. The major issue not being able to talk to my brother when his phone was not charged. Having said that the carers when contacted were always respectful and very caring of my brother which is the main thing. Thank you all.

At first, Mum was very scared about coming here because she had never experienced this situation before, by the time it was time for her to move on she would quite happily have kept here longer. The staff had been very kind to her and she felt at home with them. Through no fault of the staff as they
were so busy there was sometimes a bit of a delay answering the call button but on the whole, everything was good.

I have been very pleased with the care that my husband has received during the year that he has lived in Powys House. He has been treated at all times with kindness, dignity and respect. All the staff have been warm and helpful to me and have given me time to speak to them when necessary. I have valued
especially that every time there has been a problem, such as falling out of bed, even if no physical damage has resulted, I have been told about this by a phone call. This has enabled me to relax and has given me peace of mind. Very best wishes, a resident's wife.

Birthday visit to my Aunt who is in respite and assessment.
I was impressed with the staff that we met who appeared to be attentive and caring.
A special mention to the man in the cafe who presented my Aunt with a birthday cake and made us feel very welcome. A lovely space to sit and chat and feel
‘normal’.
I was pleased to see her room was sunny and clean with its own en-suite.
