Spencer House has been so good at providing contact with my mother over this last year in a flexible, safe environment from the indoor lounge area, comfy garden pods, and the garden itself. It was so good to know that their high standard of care by very hard work from all the staff continued in such
challenging times.

We are very grateful to all at Spencer House for the genuine care shown towards our mum during a difficult time. Although Covid restrictions have limited how much time we can spend together, we feel confident that Mum's emotional and health needs are at the top of the team's priority. This has changed
my perception of care home - into a positive, engaging and uplifting experience for elderly loved ones, and I would recommend Spencer House to anyone looking for a "home from home" experience. Thanks, everyone at Spence House.

Unfortunately, my mum was admitted to Spencer House during the Covid pandemic, which made things so difficult for her and the family. However, the staff at Spencer House couldn’t do enough for Mum or us. It really gave me confidence in our decision as she is so well looked after. Staff are so friendly
and welcoming, and the home itself is exceptionally well presented and spotlessly clean. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Spencer House.

Mum has been a resident at Spencer House for more than 5-years now, and at 91, she has attained the record of being the longest-lived member of our family. Without the dedicated care and attention provided by all staff at Spencer House, we, as a family, acknowledge this would not have been possible.
The extremely challenging period of the past 12-months has been met wholeheartedly by the manager and the rest of the team. It is to them that I offer thanks, from all the family, for the way they have enabled us to see Mum during these most difficult and anxious times, and most importantly, for enabling Mum to still be with us today.

I have had some very good relationships with other residents during my stay here at Spencer House. Unfortunately, I have outlived many of these. I think the care homes can go a long way to fostering relationships and friendships, and I have certainly experienced this here. Especially within the last
year, making new friends with common interests in the garden in particular.
I like to spend time with others and build on relationships with others including all the staff. Spending time talking and getting to know them is really important for both them and myself.
I can not imagine any home fully giving you that feeling of ‘being home, however, I have always said that Spencer House is my home.
I, myself look forward to the coming year for things to settle down and to be able to enjoy and resume lots of the highlights we have missed - our mums and tots group especially.

Reply from Ryan Farrelly, Marketing Assistant at Spencer House Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Thank you for reviewing the Spencer House Care Home. We are so pleased that you feel welcomed and part of the loving care community.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Until moving to Spencer House in October 2019, my wife was in a different care home, so she and I have experienced different levels of care and are, therefore, able to make genuine evaluations of this care home. Spencer House is a beautiful home; the first thing you notice on entering the building is
the high-quality look of the furnishings, which continues throughout the building. The receptionists are very polite and make you feel very welcome, this is mirrored by all the carers, nurses and admin staff making the home very welcoming and a reassuring place to live. Food is of a restaurant standard and there is a good selection of meals on the daily menu. My wife requires a certain level of nursing and believes that she is well looked after and is very happy at Spencer House, the management and staff should be very proud of what they’ve achieved and how happy they make people feel.

I spent a week in Spencer House for respite care after an operation. This week gave me the perfect opportunity to experience the daily life and routine of this care home and I have to say I was impressed by every aspect. Food was excellent, well balanced, nourishing and, at times, inventive. Care given
to the residents was kind and showed understanding of their needs. Activities on offer were varied and interesting. Everywhere appeared to be clean and, the thing I noticed most, was the smiles - from reception onwards. I was fortunate to experience this.

Dad came into Spencer House care home for respite in October but after being here for then 2 weeks, he found that he felt safe and well cared for. His meals are all prepared. If he is feeling poorly, he just rings his bell.
I have to say, Dad has really settled in well, his health has improved, he
has a twinkle in his eyes now.

My mother is very well cared for at Spencer House and is always treated with kindness and respect. Following the appointment of the new manager recently, access to and communication with senior staff have improved greatly and I feel I can always raise any issue directly with them directly if necessary.
The new manager is very approachable and also very involved with the running of the home on a day-to-day basis which reduces worry and increases confidence in the care home for families of the residents.

I know of no better care home in Northampton. Certain care staff are excellent. The senior team of carers are excellent.


Senior management is not very visible - there hasn't been a full-time manager in Spencer House since Christmas - actually it has run better with more staff stability.

Since moving to a nursing bed on the top ward the cleaning standard has dropped, but it is still acceptable.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.774)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.774) out of 10 for Spencer House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 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 4.953 for Spencer House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (123 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.953

  • 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 4.821 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Spencer House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 11 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 67 registered maximum number of service users is 13.4. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.4 = 0.821

  • 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.

Job Title: Care Home Manager

Joined: 2015

I am currently working as a senior General Manager for Spencer House Care Home and support the company with multi-site management. I joined Avery Health Care in 2015 and worked at Ashurst Mews Care Home in Moulton Northamptonshire. I am a registered general nurse by profession. I spent many years at Ashurst Mews and this helped me develop my foundations of delivering excellent care and also developed my management skills, my personal skills and this provided me with the opportunity to transfer to Spencer House to develop further as a senior General Manager. I have a real passion for developing staff and consider myself a very hands-on manager.


I take pride in leading by example and working with and for both our residents and staff. I enjoy watching our home go from strength to strength and find the small achievements equally important as the larger ones. I like to see our ethos of care being delivered every day and watching my residents blossom, remain well, feel at home and safe under the care of my staff and myself. I find the receptiveness of staff and residents to any improvements we make effortless. I particularly take pride in watching my staff embrace any new changes and challenges and developing their knowledge of any new, innovative systems we implement. I have been delighted to accept and feel the timing was right.


I very much enjoy spending time with my family and looking after them. I have a keen interest in cooking and spend a lot of my free time with my family. I very much enjoy being outdoors and can spend many hours attending to my garden. I also like to keep myself active physically. I enjoy regular countryside walks. I like to keep abreast of current affairs and take an interest in world events, often watching global news programmes and documentaries.
