The transition into Care was very hard but Acer House Care Home - Avery Healthcare really does make it feel like home from home.
I visit a lot. The team acknowledge relationships built with
I can walk into the Dining Room and make tea and not flinch - that’s the environment that’s promoted and encouraged.
Senior Leadership in is absolutely what this sector needs. People who manage an operation but balance that with people.
Even their receptionists go above and beyond - Julie, what an asset!
At times I leave and have a cry as I find it hard - staff find me and give me a hug.
That’s what care is about.
Thank you Acer - keep pushing to being the best!

Thank you for the lovely feedback with regards to the care and support your mum receives here at Acer House, we as a team try to provide the best person centred care on an individual basis.
We sympathise with families facing rising fees for the cost of quality care. However, care in a residential home offers value for money when considering full board and 24/7 care at a level that must meet significant regulatory requirements specified by Care Quality Commission (CQC).
Fee increases over the last few years can be attributed to factors such as Government-implemented wage increases of between 6% and 10% per annum for the previous four years.
Although Governments over the last 15 years have attempted to create a means of fairly funding care for older people, with only 7% of the over 85 years elderly population requiring some form of residential care, it has never been a Government priority, and the burden falls on a small number of families to support the increasing fees.

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.823) out of 10 for Acer House 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 51 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 50 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 4.823 for Acer House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (513 Excellents x 5) + (82 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 605 Ratings = 4.823
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 Acer House Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 50 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 50 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 Sam, and I am delighted to be the Home Manager here at Acer House.
I have 20 years of experience within the healthcare sector and have achieved qualifications including Levels 2, 3, and 5 Health and Social Care Diplomas, PTTLS Level 3, and Level 3 Health and Safety. Working in residential and nursing settings, I have been lucky enough to have a variety of roles including, a Carer/Senior Carer, Home trainer, Housekeeping, Chef, Activities Co-ordinator, and Deputy Manager, gaining plenty of experience and valuable skills.
Within this time, I have shared many treasurable moments with the residents I have had the pleasure to meet along the way. One moment that I will cherish throughout my career was when I had the privilege to be taught how to knit by a very skilful resident living with dementia. It is such a great talent to withhold, and you will now often find me trying to join in with our knit-and-natter club.
I would best describe myself as someone who is very passionate, determined, and strong-minded. In my spare time, I spend most weekends cheering my son on from the sidelines at his football matches and love relaxing in the garden with my family.
Avery Healthcare, owners of Acer House, best stands out for their spacious, luxurious rooms, exceptional well-being programmes and highly trained, dedicated staff. And Acer House is no different. Our home is ideally situated in Weston-super-Mare, next to a beautiful park and boules green which is a favourite amenity amongst our residents.
I look forward to welcoming you to the Acer House community.
