Avery Park has been a lifeline for myself and family.
The facility is five-star with staff who are kind, caring, sensitive and professional.
If anybody is thinking that their love one needs a safe place to stay either long or short term. Then I can't recommend Avery Park enough.
Suggesting a caring
home to somebody you love can be very tough. The team. From the customer service manager to the carers, cleaners, handyman and reception (especially one member of staff in particular) make it so much easier.
Thank you Avery Park.

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

Thank you for your wonderful review! We are honoured at Avery Park to have now cared for two of your gorgeous loved ones. The whole team are sensitive to the significant transition felt by a resident moving to a care home. We hope we go someway to making a difficult time less painful. We love seeing your lovely family regularly visiting Avery Park.

Due to an accident resulting in my Mum no longer being able to live independently, Mum has been at Avery Park Care Home in Kettering since January this year. It was a very difficult and upsetting time for us as it is with many people. However, everyone at Avery Park has made the move and following months
as smooth and as easy as possible under the circumstances. The care and attention provided is exceptional and there is always someone on hand to help out or answer any questions. This is top quality Care Provision. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Avery Park to anyone.
The only reason I have given 4 stars for 'value for money' is that the fees for care are expensive in most circumstances, particularly when the person is self-funding. This is not a reflection of Avery Park and the service they provide.

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

Thank you for a wonderful review. The transition to a care home is a difficult time for the whole family and everyone employed at Avery Park is empathic to this. Thank you for all your feedback, we do price compare ourselves with other care homes in the area and regard our pricing as competitive.

Avery Care "Hotel" is the most amazing home for the older generation to reside in or take respite. The staff are fantastic from carers, front of house, management, restaurant, chefs, cleaners, maintenance, events. The entire team are professional, hardworking individuals but also take their time to
ensure the residents are well looked after to the highest degree. You witness this when visiting Avery by the smiles you receive. This is an instant peace of mind for you knowing that everyone is in a happy place. I love having a conversation with all the sofa ladies, so much fun.
Another important factor is the building itself, that is why I like to call it a care "hotel" it looks and is 5 star accommodation that I would be very happy to reside in, pity no beach though!
All in all you could not want a more fabulous residential/respite care than Avery Care Kettering.

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

Thank you for such a lovely review! It is great to have feedback from families then we can be sure we are on the right track. We are looking at remodelling some of the gardens soon, so I can always submit your request for a pool or beach! Thanks again for your review, your elegant mother is a delight to care for.

My mother was diagnosed with vascular dementia and was no longer able to live at home as she needed 24-hour supervision/care. She had a beautiful home and obviously did not want to move. I had looked at over twnety homes and Avery Park was the only care home that had beautiful spacious rooms, excellent
facilities and activities for the residents, but the most important thing was the care. The staff are very kind, patient and attentive. The top priority is patient-centred care so Mum can have her own routine and eat when she wants to eat etc. The previous care home she was in was very regimented, everyone had to be up and out of their room by 8.30 am and were not allowed to return until 2 pm! Mum was always a late riser and so went to bed later too. At Avery Park she has more freedom, the residents are treated with respect and dignity.

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

SH, thank you for your lovely review of Avery Park. Your mum is a delight to care for. We are all unique, thank goodness, life would be pretty boring if we were all the same. So like you say, person-centred care is so important, enabling residents to live the life they want.

Mum had a week of respite care at Avery in Kettering in October 2023. I had to go away and it was great to know that she would be safe and having fun. She is profoundly deaf and suffers from bouts of sciatica. She enjoyed meeting the other residents and she especially enjoyed the food. One day she went
on an outing into the countryside to see pumpkins grown for Halloween. I have to go away again soon, and this time, Mum has ‘asked’ to go to Avery. She is looking forward to her visit, she says for her it is like staying in a very good hotel.

My mother moved into Avery Park about 12 months ago, and at first, she was quite uncomfortable with the new environment. But gradually she has grown to love her home to the extent that she now never wants to leave. Whenever we visit her she tells us that the staff and facilities are wonderful and she
feels so lucky to be able to live there. She emphasises that she has no complaints about the staff, her room, her meals or the other residents - she says that she cannot fault the place. She has never been a very sociable person, but has made one very good friend and now joins in with some of the group activities, which is not like her at all. Avery Park provides a wonderful, safe and caring environment for vulnerable people and I am very happy that we found this place. Keep up the good work Avery Park!

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

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We find there is always a 'settling in' period for most residents when joining a communal living environment, some residents adapt quickly and others take a little longer. Your mum is a delight and a character, making it very easy for us to care for her.

My mum moved to Avery Park in February 2024, and after only a month, I have noticed how much happier, healthier and more relaxed she has become. The staff are so caring and kind and can’t do enough to put smiles on the resident's faces. The daily activities are amazing, which Mum is thoroughly enjoying.
The care home is like a luxury hotel and absolutely stunning, the food looks delicious, and the overall facilities such as the cinema room and hair salon are second to none. A warm and happy vibe as soon as you walk through the main reception. I’m so happy we found somewhere so special for my mum, and can’t thank everyone at Avery Park enough.

My lovely dad was taken poorly and needed 24 care. We were in need of a place for Dad for respite. My sister's mother-in-law was in Avery Park Care for four and a half years and the care was excellent, so we rang Avery. The manager and head of care came to Dad's, and within a few hours, Dad was brought
to Avery. The care my dad is receiving is wonderful, he repeats all the time that the staff can't do enough for him. Everyone smiles and everyone cares. Thank you to all.

My mother has been in The Avery for a couple of months. It is incredibly difficult to place a well-loved family member into the care of others. I have to say we have not been disappointed. The care has been exemplary. The patience demonstrated by all staff has been outstanding. Mum has made great progress
with eating and mobilisation. As family members, we are always greeted in a friendly way and made to feel welcome.
Special thanks to two staff members in particular for going the extra mile today to reunite Mum with a set of dentures.

From our initial telephone enquiry through to Mum moving in was a very positive experience and all of the staff were very professional, helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. We initially booked a guided tour which was very thorough and we were shown round by a member of staff and also an existing resident,
which was a lovely touch. Mum was able to choose her own room from the few available. Mum has settled in nicely and says it’s a lovely place and has not regretted the move there at all. All of Mum's visitors have also commented on how lovely the place is along with all the staff. I personally would recommend this care home to anyone.

The staff on the floor and at reception are without exception all wonderful. They show genuine affection and care for the residents. If I have an issue to raise it would be that my father's room could be cleaner at times, it is quite dusty and surfaces sticky. Having said that my father said to me yesterday,
that even if he won millions on the lottery, there is nowhere he would rather be. I cannot think of a better recommendation than that. He is the person living there and his opinion is most important.

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.
