My dad moved into Elstre View Care Home in October. The staff have all come out of their way to help him settle in and he is now an active member of the community. He has lived more in the last 3 months than he has in the last three years. He is very comfortable, happy and safe and I can visit him as
his daughter and share in his happiness.

Elstree View, in the 4 or so months since my cousin has been a resident there, has made her feel totally at home. I visit her at least once or twice a week, and can clearly see how relaxed, cared for and happy she is. A big thank you to the staff, carers and all involved. I cannot find one negative
thing to say. She has lost all the anxious feelings she had in her flat, she is eating and sleeping better.

My mum has been at Elstree View now for nearly 2 years. During this time there have been many changes to her needs. At every change point mum's needs have been reviewed and whatever is needed has been put in place. The staff at all levels have been kind, caring and responsive and no matter how much
we need to talk, I never feel rushed or not listened to. it feels like a real team effort which is much appreciated. As mum's health deteriorated the Home and our family felt that it was time for mum to move to Orchids. This has been a big transition for us as a family. Mum however has settled well and we are so glad she made the transition. I can only commend the staff on their patience especially with me, as I was the one struggling with seeing her needing a different kind of care. The staff both in Orchids and Assisted Living are wonderful. We could not have wished for anything more in a care home and I would recommend it to anyone looking for the very best in care for their loved one.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My 96-year-old uncle finally agreed to move to a care home after several years of doggedly trying to retain his independence. We, his family and his friends were concerned about his ability to continue living independently. We were glad when all other options were rejected in favour of moving to a care
home. We arranged a visit to Elstree View and were very happy to find that members of staff remembered him from a previous stay to convalesce following surgery and made him very welcome. Further discussion achieved agreement and he now resides happily at Elstree View in a very nice flat where he has integrated into the community. It is evident that he is receiving excellent care and is fed regularly and well. He is gently and respectfully treated and his health is monitored and I receive regular reports. It is a pleasure to deal with the staff and our concerns about his living standards and safeguarding have been addressed.

My mother has been a resident at Elstree Avery Care Home since December 2022. During this time she has enjoyed being part of the Avery family. The staff here are so caring and look after each and every resident. There is always plenty to occupy the residents through the day, ie daily quizzes, entertainers,
and playing Scrabble or other table games. The food provided in the lovely dining room at breakfast, lunch and dinner is of a high quality. My mother enjoys sitting in The Bistro, having morning coffee and afternoon tea when she chats with the other residents. Every month there are at least four outings to interesting places and some are cinema or theatre trips. Mum has really enjoyed these outings. Thank you all at Elstree for your kindness.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I live in Israel, in a senior citizen community, and was really keen to visit my family and friends in London. But I know that I cannot cope alone in a hotel. My sons heard about Elstree View and one of them visited a while ago, then reported to me that he was confident about my staying with you for
a short time. I do not need help with the basics of life, I self-medicate and can shower and dress myself, though I do need a stick for balance etc. I found every member of staff understood my strengths and my weaknesses so that I was confident at all times. I entertained friends for sandwich lunches, and exactly what I had asked for appeared on the table in the Family Room at the right time. We were offered drinks and served beautifully. In every respect I can say that Elstree View and all the staff can be proud of the way that I experienced my ten days with you. Thank you for everything.

Both my parents relocated to 'Elstree View Care Home' several years ago. When my father died, my mother continued to be cared for by the home and has since moved to the reminiscence facility. I have come to know the leadership staff very well, especially during both transitions; and have become better
acquainted with the new key staff members and carers over the last few years.
As I live in the USA and cannot visit very often, the connection to the team is critical: they have become my new UK 'family'. They keep me incredibly well and regularly informed as to my mother's well-being; changes in circumstances; and specific needs. I feel completely confident that she is receiving excellent care; and this is consistently backed up by what I see during my visits: patient, attentive and gentle treatment of my mother. While she cannot talk much, the smile on her face when she interacts with the carers assures me that she is comfortable with and respected by them. Exemplary!

Being a volunteer at Elstree is very rewarding, to see the residents' faces light up when I walk through the door says it all. I am made most welcome by the concierge team who I often see interacting with family members, residents and staff. As busy as they are they go that extra mile. A big shout out
to the dining room staff who are so attentive, serving all the residents with a smile. The atmosphere is warm, cosy and very homely. You need to have a big heart working in a care home, everyone at Elstree View certainly has one. This home is top-notch, I am giving it a 5-star rating.

The care home team became Mum's second family during her two years of being a resident. The care given came from the heart, not something that can be taught. From the office staff, domestic service team, reception team, laundry team and carers we thank you all. Elstree runs like a well-oiled machine,
never failing to provide in all areas. When Mum became unwell the support shown to her and us was exemplary. Whenever we left after visiting we knew she was in good hands and that if a problem did arise the nursing team/carers would keep us updated with any information while also liaising with outside medical teams. The dignity shown in her final days will never be forgotten. The support to me while spending time with mum, people popping in to ensure I was ok, cups of tea and reassurance that if I needed anything “just ask”. As a family we highly recommend Elstree.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.822)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.822) out of 10 for Elstree View Care Home - Avery Collection is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.822 for Elstree View Care Home - Avery Collection is calculated as follows: ( (304 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 354 Ratings = 4.822

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Elstree View Care Home - Avery Collection is based on 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 81 registered maximum number of service users is 16.2, which has been reached with 30 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Joined: 2018

I am really pleased and honoured to have joined the elite team here as a Maintenance Manager in 2018, a team which really listens and gets involved in the day-by-day life of the residents. Since starting my career in care in 2005, I gained vast experience, skills, and knowledge, I am happy to apply my DIY skills in a place which I consider not just my home, but my second safe and comfortable one for me and everybody that live and visit our community.


Interacting with residents, having a laugh, a discussion, offering support and attention, it really does make a difference in our and their lives. Every day is different, every day makes my day. Home is where the heart and my toolbox is. Together, we are a family.
