Overall Experience

Always a difficult decision to trust your loved one into someone's else's care but Will at Wandsworth Common Care Home helped make this decision easy. My husband needed respite care and we looked at many different care home but immediately on entering WCCH we felt at home. It has a warm, welcoming atmosphere

like a lovely hotel. The staff were kind and personable immediately and my husband relaxed because it didn't feel like he was a patient but a welcomed guest. During his two week stay he was looked after like royalty, so many different activities socialising with the other residents. Any opportunity for a get together of which there were many. Although initially I felt it hard to relax I was reassured by the immediate response to my emails which enabled me to enjoy my break. I will not pretend it's easy but I know I need to look after my own health and finding care for my husband that I can trust has enabled me to plan ahead for regular breaks for myself. Thank you WCCH c u soon

My mother moved into Avery in November and her memory and faculties are deteriorating. She us having excellent care at Wandsworth, the staff are patient, understanding and respectful at all times and trained well in managing residents expectations and changing moods.

Overall Experience

Avery Wandsworh was a lifesaver. My father was ill and hospitalised while visiting us from abroad and he couldn't fly back. They were extremely helpful and accommodating in a very stressful time for the family. From the nurse visit to do the assessment, to the daily day-to-day activities, they took

great care and encouraged my father back to health and for him to be able to fly back. They welcomed my mum and my whole family to the home.

Overall Experience

My mother has been at the Avery Wandsworth Common Care Home as a resident since May of this year. The home is beautifully decorated, tasteful and very clean and her spacious apartment far exceeded my expectations. The entire process of moving my mother in and ensuring that she settled quickly was seamless.

I have yet to meet a member of staff there who isn't extremely attentive, kind, patient and good-humoured. The lines of communication are always open and I know my mother is in excellent hands. It is a huge relief that we have found somewhere so wonderful for her.

Overall Experience

I came to visit an old friend and this was my first visit to the home. As soon as I entered the building, I became aware of a gentle calmness and a welcoming spirit of quiet efficiency. The reception staff could not have been more helpful and kinder. On arrival at the resident's room, all of the care

staff on duty that I met over two hours were anxious to ensure that I was comfortable and not upset by how my friend's appearance had changed over the last few months: this is the mark of high-quality care and concern for visitors' well being. That level of care and thoughtfulness is standard. The resident's dignity is a real priority at all times and frequent visits at regular intervals is testament to this. Nothing was hurried and my friend's wellbeing was paramount. I left the home with a lightness of heart and in the certain knowledge that the highest level of care was being taken. Thank you to the whole team.

Reply from William Burke, CLM at Wandsworth Common Care Home - Avery Collection

It was so lovely that you were able to visit your friend here and our subsequent conversation was truly uplifting. Thank you so much for this wonderful review, as I promised you, I will make sure that each and every member of the team involved are aware of the difference they made to your visit without even realising.

We attended the funeral reception of a friend at Wandsworth Common Care Home. The manager was such a lovely young man in how he welcomed everyone, poured drinks and ensured we were all okay. The carer was also in attendance so charming and friendly. The staff on reception provided a warm welcome and

suggested we use the underground car park. The care home was wonderful, clean and had a great location.

Change from a previous provider to Avery, pretty smooth. My brother has been very well cared for. The move from basic care to dementia was very well maintained. The care staff are excellent. Sad that they are not paid for their full time at the home and that meal breaks are not included in their hours

worked.

Overall Experience

I chose to stay at the Avery Wandsworth Common Care Home following a complex knee replacement surgery. I needed a week of recovery in safety and comfort to practise my physiotherapy and found exactly that at this care home. The greatest asset of this establishment is the staff. From management all the

way to the catering team, they are attentive to your every need. No one crosses you without acknowledging you by your name and looking out for you.
The general standard of comfort is excellent as are the facilities such as the spa bath and even a cinema!
All meals are served in a very comfortable restaurant from an a la carte menu of delicious food cooked in-house.
Whilst it is primarily a care home for an older generation it is an ideal destination for post-operative surgery rest whatever age you are.
Within a short walk of Wandsworth Common and excellent public transport nearby, there is a lovely feeling of freedom both for guests and visitors.

Reply from William Burke, CLM at Wandsworth Common Care Home - Avery Collection

Overall Experience

The care home staff organised a birthday celebration for my mother today (25 May), who is 95 years old. The party took place in their private dining room and they took me through first to be sure that I was happy with everything they had done. I walked into the room and I was literally speechless for

a moment. It all looked absolutely stunning! It was all so beautiful, it took me a moment to take it all in. There were beautiful platters of food and gorgeous decorations everywhere. I'm not allowed to mention names apparently, but the Chef made a fantastic cake for my mum with her name on it and the Catering Manager did a wonderful job of setting out all the beautiful food and drinks with the help of the Food and Beverage supervisor and some of the team. We were all totally thrilled with the occasion and I can't thank the wonderful staff enough for all they did for us. All the staff are genuinely very kind and caring and work so hard to ensure everybody's happiness and well-being.

Visited my uncle for the first time. Immediately on entry, the facilities were welcoming, clean and spacious. The staff greeted us with a smile and escorted us to the correct room. The room was comfortable with an en-suite and facility to make himself a drink and snack. The room had been made to be

homely and had lots of photos and mementos. He seemed very happy and settled. Thank you.

I have been visiting my dear cousins since they moved to the home in December 2022 and I am always so impressed by the staff who are so kind and patient with them.

I spent 2 1/2 weeks here after being in hospital with pneumonia and a broken pelvis. My rooms were like a suite in a five-star hotel. The food was delicious like a hotel restaurant. I enjoyed physio with the physio who came in twice a week so that when I left I was able to climb stairs easily. There

was a resident hairdresser. I was also able to have regular baths in a wonderful bath. Thank you for an excellent stay and transition from hospital to home.

Job Title: General Manager

Joined: 2024

I am excited to join the exceptional and experienced team at Wandsworth Common Care Home and will bring my industry knowledge to support their outstanding levels of care, and personal touch and work with their teams striving for continued excellence.

I am a Registered Nurse with 16 years of experience in frontline healthcare and, having worked in a broad range of settings I have developed a passion for exceptional service in the care industry.

I started my career in A+E having previously worked as a multi-site quality assurance Matron at Bart’s Trust and as Site General Manager at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital. More recently I have managed many nursing and specialist dementia care homes.

I look forward to meeting everyone who comes through our doors.

Will Burke

Job Title: Client Liason Manager

Joined: 2019

Having worked for eleven years in similar roles for other luxury care providers, I am thrilled to represent Avery Collection at Wandsworth Common as a Customer Liaison Manager. I have a track record of success, having taken a challenged home to its highest-ever occupancy in a previous role. As a Dementia Champion, I am also committed to helping those living with memory loss, having previously helped set up a regional Dementia Action Alliance with a local church.

Avery Collection are known as the best in terms of quality of care and quality of design, and in these areas as well as many others they are always one step ahead of other care providers. This ethos is one I share, and I am delighted to be working for the best provider in the business.

In my role, I am the first point of contact for families seeking care. I am dedicated to using my knowledge and experience to act as a guide and to help families through what can be a difficult time of life.

Avery Collection at Wandsworth Common is a truly special home, as this level of care is not usually available in such a central, accessible location. Residents will have a great range of facilities and attractions available right on their doorstep. I’m also excited to be part of such a technologically advanced, stylishly designed and luxurious home.

Sue Morgan

Job Title: Residential Care Manager

Joined: 2019

I started my journey in to care six years ago when I joined as a care assistant. I loved my role there and put my heart and soul into ensuring the residents were happy and enjoyed the quality of life they deserved. I was then promoted to lead carer with the responsibility of a team of 14 carers, which I continued to do for the next four years.

I would drive past Wandsworth Common every day on my way to work and thought maybe one day I may end up working there as it was closer to home. When they opened I applied as a care supervisor and was overjoyed to get the role as many people had applied. Six months later I was promoted to my current role as residential care manager and I’m loving every minute! I have a fabulous and very experienced care team around me and I also feel very supported from the management team in the home who are always go that extra mile to help and get involved. I am the type of person who will roll up my sleeves and help wherever I’m needed and knowing that all my residents are well looked after gives me a massive sense of satisfaction.

I feel extremely proud and honoured to work in such a beautiful home with a friendly atmosphere and great people.

Out of work I love to spend time with my family and friends. I have three children who have all grown up now and have their own families of which I am very proud. I also have two beautiful granddaughters, one 10 years old and one of 8 months, my family are the most important things in my life. Outside of work I love meeting with friends over a glass or two of bubbly as the perfect way to relax!

Caring has always been a big part of my life, growing up I was the main carer for a member of my family which ignited my passion for the caring profession. This lead to me study nursing at university in Romania in 2009. After gaining my qualification and practicing in Romania for a few years I moved to England in 2015. I moved initially to Derbyshire where I worked as a carer for two years. After this I was promoted to the nurse’s assistant and subsequently lead all the training for dementia carers for that business. I am extremely passionate about giving residents the best care and most fulfilling lives. In my role as dementia care manager I am committed to continuous learning and also supporting my staff to be the very best they can be.

What I love most about my role is seeing how we are able to have such a positive impact on our residents’ day to day lives and seeing the smiles on their faces is the best feeling. Avery Collection is a fantastic company to work for and I feel very supported in my role and with any ideas I have to support our residents.

Outside of work I have a passion for sport with my biggest achievement is being Romania’s National Backstroke champion in the 100m.
