Avondale cannot cure dementia, but the care and dedication from all of their team which is of the same standard without exception means that this illness is understood and managed with dignity to achieve best possible outcomes.
The care extends to the family. We understand the illness better and the staff has always been frank with us and above all we feel that my mother is totally safe. She is less fearful and agitated and that is all we could ask at this stage.
A sincere thank you to all at Avondale from our family.

Report
The Avondale care home manager is amazing, someone who knows exactly how to deliver great facilities and an overall care team to allow for an amazing care environment. It was no surprise to me when he was awarded the 2014 National Care Home Manager's award. Ably supported by Deputy Manager, both of whom have been at Avondale since it first opened. This level of leadership continuity - knowing the residents and their families and knowing how to deliver a caring environment and setting very high expectations of their team is seen very rarely and is a big part of why Avondale is just so good - the individual care staff are clearly well trained and deliver outstanding care 24x7.
The building, fixtures, fittings, gardens, entertainment programmes (and importantly the food!) are all excellent, there is nothing I would change.
If you are looking for a care home you really must visit Avondale, a lovely atmosphere, with very high standards of care across the board.

The Review Score of 10 (9.958) out of 10 for Avondale Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.958 for Avondale Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (363 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 377 Ratings = 4.958
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 Avondale Care Home is based on 32 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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18, which has been reached with 32 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.
