Thank you for taking the time to review Avon Valley Care Home. Your kind words about our staff team are truly invaluable to us and we are so delighted to hear how satisfied you are with the exceptional level of care your home is receiving. We do strive to maintain good communication links but appreciate that this might have become more difficult due to the lockdown and since visitors have been restricted by not being able to enter the building during this period. We currently use email and Facebook to continue with monthly residential meetings and regular family meetings are available via Skype/Microsoft Teams. Now that the restrictions have been eased, we look forward to welcoming you back into our home for more regular safe visiting.

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.716) out of 10 for Avon Valley 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 70 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 70 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.716 for Avon Valley Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (628 Excellents x 5) + (182 Goods x 4) + (28 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 838 Ratings = 4.716
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 Avon Valley Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 70 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 78 registered maximum number of service users is 15.6, which has been reached with 70 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.

Job Title: Home Manager
Joined: 2019
Hello, my name is Alyson, and I am delighted to be the Home Manager here at Avon Valley.
Joining and commissioning Avon Valley Care Home in 2019 was a dream come true. I have successful developed my staff into good ways of practice and built a team that are proud and respectful of what they do. My passion for this home comes not only from my 40 years’ experience within the healthcare sector but also from my own personal life. I’ve had a very personal experience of a loved one needing dementia care, and I understand the emotional turmoil and difficulty in letting go or trusting someone else to care for that person.
Prior to becoming a Home Manager, my previous roles within the sector have been Residential Service Officer, Care Assistant, Nurse Auxiliary and Deputy Manager. I have also developed my skills by achieving qualifications such as NVQ Level 2, 3 and 4, and also ILM.
Within this time, I have shared many treasurable moments with the residents I have had the pleasure to meet along the way. Seeing my residents smile each day brings the motivation to perform my role at the highest level.
I would best describe myself as someone who is friendly and approachable. If you would ever need assistance with anything, I will always be on hand to help. In my spare time, I love spending time with my family, gardening and I can’t wait to be able to travel once restrictions are eased.
Avery Healthcare, owners of Avon Valley, strives to be the best in care, providing high-quality services whilst offering its best support to its staff member. Our home is truly unique as we offer luxurious facilities such as our beautifully landscaped gardens and cinema room. Not to forget about the stunning views of Lansdown.
I look forward to welcoming you into our loving care community.
