Overall Experience  Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5

The staff/carers' experience and competency is quite varied. There are some very good staff in the building but also some who seem under-trained or in some cases ill-suited for the role. Frustratingly if I ask a carer for something that isn't immediate I am told that they will report back or find the
right member of staff but almost without exception, nothing happens and I have to chase. The most recent example - I asked six times over the course of 3 days for my power chair to be charged, which I'm no longer permitted to do myself.

Reply from Leander Pyke, Home manager at Avery Park Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Thank you for the review. It's always great to see these from residents who are at the heart of the home. Unfortunately, the issue raised with regards to the charging of chairs is unavoidable due to fire regulations, but a resolve and agreement has been met. Please do continue to come and see me should you have any further questions.

Dad has lived here for approximately 9 months and I have nothing but good things to say about Avery Park Care Home. All the carers and management are amazing, nothing is too much trouble. Dad's behaviour can be challenging at times but they manage it remarkably well and always listen to his needs. I
recommend Avery for anybody's loved ones.

My mum has been at Avery Park Care Home for two and a half years. The hospital made the care decision for us, as Mum was no longer safe at home. She had liked the look of Avery Park from the outside from when it opened, so it was the first place I checked out. It was the perfect choice for us. From
the moment I stepped through the door I was impressed. The staff, care and facilities are great. The whole family are welcomed and it is the happiest and most content Mum has been for years!

I am a very close friend to a resident of Avery Care Home Kettering. He is like a dad to me and has been in Avery Care Home for eighteen months now. When he first moved in, he wasn't very well at all after a fall and being in hospital for three months and now, with all the excellent care and attention
he is doing really well at the age of nearly 91, even walking again. I visit weekly and take his wife in to see him and always made very welcome. The friendly and caring staff are amazing with him and he always says he's enjoyed his meals. l would like to say he has settled in very well and feels at home in excellent surroundings and well-equipped bedroom. The decision to move him into Avery had the full support of his wife and friends.

Mum is very settled at Avery Park and the care she receives is excellent. The managers and staff really know her well and tailor what they provide to meet her needs. The menu is varied with plenty of choice for all meals. The rooms are kept immaculately as is the whole home. The activity programme caters
for a wide range of needs and provides a mix of in-house sessions, trips out and sessions run by outside providers. The entertainers, PAT dog visits, art sessions, and exercise classes all add variety for the residents. It is a pleasure to visit and chat with Mum and other residents. A very well-led and managed care home.

Thank you for your wonderful review of Avery Park. We are delighted mum is settled and that you enjoy visiting Avery Park.

It was Mum's decision to become a permanent resident after staying for 2 weeks respite in the summer. She knew she could no longer manage at home even with support. Everyone at Avery Park has been so friendly and helpful and Mum has made new friends. I feel a lot happier knowing that there is always
someone on hand when she needs help.

Mum is in the dementia suite and at first took quite a while to settle, but she has been joining in with the craft, entertainment and baking and pictures on social media showed that she was truly enjoying herself. As a result, she is much more settled now which is lovely to see when we visit. The staff
are very dedicated and everyone does a really good job. I'm really pleased we chose Avery.

Reply from Lynette Summerfield, Customer Service Manager at Avery Park Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Yes, sometimes it can take a loved one a while to settle into their new environment. The initial move to a care home can be unsettling for all. But we are all delighted that Mum has started to enjoy her new home and all it has on offer. Thank you and all your family for being patient and for all your support.

Our family has been impressed with the level of care and attention given to Mum since arriving at the home. Accommodation is welcoming and to a high standard, the atmosphere relaxing and homely. The staff work incredibly hard to ensure that Mum is well cared for and her needs are taken into account.
Their care, kindness and patience are a real credit to them, for which we are so grateful. Family members are warmly welcomed and made to feel part of the home's community. We are so glad we found this home and feel assured that Mum will have the support to live comfortably and safely.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.770)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.770) out of 10 for Avery Park Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 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 4.770 for Avery Park Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (423 Excellents x 5) + (63 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 509 Ratings = 4.77

  • 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 Avery Park Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 41 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 120 registered maximum number of service users is 24, which has been reached with 41 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.
