The residents best interests are put first not financial gain. To my knowledge, this care home is unique in letting resident bring their own furniture and allowing them to be as independent as they wish provided it is safe for them to do so.

My mother’s move to Signature went very smoothly. I was really pleased with the speed with which all the arrangements were made. I now have peace of mind that my mother is well cared for by a team of attentive and kind people, and that there are medically qualified staff on site. The highlights for
my mother are three delicious meals a day, a good range of activities, including pampering hand massages, and especially one-to-one time with carers. The reception staff are lovely.

Reply from Helen Harkin, CLM at Wandsworth Common Care Home - Avery Collection

Thank you for the review. Your Mum has settled in wonderfully and has made friends with the other residents, she's a fabulous addition to our Home!
I will pass your comments on to our reception team.

I came in for respite for two weeks. My time at Signature was a huge success, and within days, I was feeling refreshed and happier. The staff were all lovely to me. I will be returning after my planned surgery for further help and physiotherapy. Did not do much of the activities as I played Bridge online
most afternoons.


My main complaint is that I slept badly. The pillow on the first night was like a brick. I got my own from home. I am used to a king bed, so am anxious about falling out of bed after my knee replacement. A larger bed next time would be very much appreciated.


Reply from Helen Harkin, CLM at Wandsworth Common Care Home - Avery Collection

It was a pleasure to have you stay Hilary and we look forward to welcoming you back after your surgery.

All of the staff at Signature Wandsworth have made our family feel very welcome as we have adjusted to my father moving into their care. In particular, they have gone to great lengths to help my father to settle in and feel at home and have made sure that his personal interests are accommodated and
made sure that company is always available. They have also accommodated his dietary requirements, and he looks forward to each meal, which is of a very high standard. In the short time (2-weeks) he has been at Signature, he has thrived. He is more alert, engaged, and most importantly, enjoying life again. Thank you.

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

Thank you so much for taking the time to write these lovely words; your father is a pleasure to be around and a true gentleman, but with a wonderful sense of humour! It has been great to see him starting to get involved with the activities and social side of his life here, and I'm delighted to hear he is enjoying the restaurant.

Signature at Wandsworth is an amazing place.
My father has been a resident for close to two months now, and he is absolutely thriving!
The care staff and management team have been outstanding, every step of the way.
It is a care home that is meticulously managed and maintained, full of energy,
and you can really see how happy the staff are and how well-looked after the residents are.


We couldn't have asked for a better home.

Your father is an absolute joy to have around the home and it is so wonderful to see him thriving in this community.

I moved my father from his own home in February as he no longer knew where he was and was potentially was not safe from Covid.
It proved to be the correct decision as I now know my father is safe and looked after by the wonderful staff and carers at Signature at Wandsworth. I don't think he could be
anywhere better, and as I am his son, it makes me feel much better feeling this way.

As a family, we are very pleased with the way Signature is looking after my wife. They quickly sorted out her medication, which prior to her moving in was causing her all sorts of problems and distress. Her overall problem is dementia, but here again, we are pleased with the way the dementia team are
handling the problem. Their management experience and caring make sure she engages with other residents and is helped in the daily activity programme. The people working at the home, no matter in what capacity, create a welcoming and happy atmosphere. The facilities and furnishings are incredible, and the general layout has been planned to give its residents a wide choice in terms of activity or relaxation. Finally, the dining room is five stars, with a cuisine that is mouth-watering.

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

Thank you so much for your lovely words; it is a pleasure to have your wife living with us and a joy to hear you know she is leading an engaging life here.

My husband, who has Alzheimer's, has had three periods of respite in this home. I also had two weeks stay following a hip replacement operation. I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff were extremely attentive and always willing to help. It was great that I could see the care first hand and know that
my husband was being looked after extremely well. I fully intend to use the home again for respite for him on a regular basis. The food was very good and the restaurant had a very pleasant atmosphere and I was able to have meals here with my husband. The coffee lounge was particularly welcoming and a very pleasant place to spend time with my husband. The courtyard was also lovely and popular with the guests. There were activities and a lot of one to one support for the guests.

Thank you for your review of Signature at Wandsworth Common. It has been our pleasure to care for both yourself and your husband over the last couple of months.

Since moving my mother just over a month ago from another London nursing home to Signature Wandsworth I have come to realise just what she has been missing out on in terms of care and attention for the last few years. For me, it is paramount that the care of my 93-year-old Mother is given top priority.
At Wandsworth, she most certainly receives first-class care and this is obvious in the way she looks and feels. She is happy in the wonderful surroundings but then who wouldn’t be as this place offers the facilities of a 5-star hotel. Her apartment has a separate sitting room with its own little kitchen so it feels like home. The well trained and professional staff are warm and friendly and above all care. I could not recommend this home more highly, it is exactly what I have been looking for and somewhere that you can be sure your loved one is getting all the care and attention they need and deserve in their final years.

My arrival was very special here at Wandsworth, so warm and the minute I stepped into the building I felt at home. So tastefully modern but homely. I am having the most amazing

My mother had a stroke early this year, after 7 weeks in hospital having rehab we learnt she would require 24-hour care. I didn't want her isolated with carers at home, I wanted to find a nursing home that could handle her needs but provide her with dignity in a beautiful setting. When I discovered
there was a brand new home, opening in my neighbourhood, I hoped it would be right. I was lucky enough to visit the day before London was locked down due to Covid-19. I knew we had hit the jackpot. Extremely well qualified staff, a nursing home that has the highest specification I had ever seen and without a doubt, I felt it was right. Up until her stroke, my mother had been running her own business, driving herself around London and had an active social life. I had to find somewhere that gave her a wonderful environment to live in. We can't visit at the moment, so I call the staff daily, we video call my mother too and I have total confidence that they care for her and anticipate her every need.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.876)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.876) out of 10 for Wandsworth Common Care Home - Avery Collection is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 48 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 47 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 4.876 for Wandsworth Common Care Home - Avery Collection is calculated as follows: ( (502 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 555 Ratings = 4.876

  • 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 Wandsworth Common Care Home - Avery Collection is based on 47 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 97 registered maximum number of service users is 19.4, which has been reached with 47 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.

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.

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!

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.
