  • Amarna House Care Home - Avery Healthcare, York
Amarna House has been offering residential, dementia and respite care to the residents of the York area for the past ten years.

Couples and companions are warmly welcomed in the home where their well-being, comfort, and happiness are a top priority.

Benefits including the support of the Friends of Amarna House, who staff the Book Nook Café and regularly visit (sometimes with their dogs).

Residents can take advantage of an indoor garden, and alternative therapies. They can also pamper themselves by having their hair done in the hairdressers or nails done in the nail bar.

While there is a focus on dementia, there is also an emphasis on activity for all.

The home is firmly established in the local community, has its own minibus for trips out and receives plenty of visits from the surrounding schools and colleges.

The chefs make a point of incorporating the home-grown fresh herbs and vegetables into the menus, which are designed around the preferences of residents.

My Mum is one of the most important things to me. I visited several homes for her and as soon as I walked in the Amarna House I just knew it was the perfect place for her. Friendly, welcoming bend over backwards to please everyone. I feel it is my second home. The Manager and all the staff are amazing.
I never have to worry about Mum. She is very very happy here.

My wife is experiencing her third year here and despite Parkinson's plus "failed" hip operation can be a challenging case. The experienced and young carers, manage her needs promptly and with excellent care. On my frequent visits, I have observed the same support and care received by other residents.

Mum has been a resident since July 2016 and Dad since December 2016. During their stay, we have been delighted with the care they have received. Their safety is always paramount to the staff and they are always treated with the utmost dignity and compassion. The staff are always supportive to the families
needs and anxieties and are WONDERFUL whenever I speak to them. The rooms are clean and comfortable although a little small. Mum requires hoisting and sometimes we do find it a little tight fit for her and her belongings, the staff and hoist. The food is simple but wholesome and Mum and Dad's requests are always met with a smile but I don't think they make the 3 course and wine description in the current Avery Healthcare brochure. Medication is always given on time and daily. Excellent activities provided in the lounge but no facilities for wheelchair access.

Every time I visit my friend I am treated in a very friendly and helpful way by all staff. Including the front desk and office staff, I know my friend has much improved in health since moving here. I'm sure a lot of this is due to the way she is treated, looked after and entertained, and have no reason
not to recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.613)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.613) out of 10 for Amarna House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.738 for Amarna House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 172 Ratings = 4.738

  • 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 4.875 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Amarna House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 14 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.875

  • 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.
