Opened in 2011, Acer House in Weston-super-Mare is a mile away from the seafront.

Professional staff offer friendly and expert care to those with residential, dementia needs or short-term respite needs.

They offer a shared care experience with companion suites, designed for couples, siblings, or friends seeking a caring and supportive environment together.

The care home is keen to develop and maintain a happy and thriving community and help each resident to enjoy a fulfilling life.

Good relations are kept with the local community. The home raises money for charity and provides plenty of varied social activities and entertainment. Many residents like to help with the upkeep of the beautiful gardens.

Unique to this home is its own beach hut, which is an added popular attraction when it comes to trips to the promenade and seafront.

My father was in Acer House for two and a half years until his recent death. The family was very impressed with Acer House - the cleanliness and the friendliness of the staff. He had dementia and was very well looked after and he really enjoyed being there. Thank you to all the staff.

We were alerted very quickly when our loved one suddenly became ill. After that, for eight days we came and went, and all the time he was being cared for not only with professional skills but also with love and warmth. We were kept informed at every stage and shown sympathy and understanding. We could
go home at night being assured that he was in safe hands and that we would be told if his condition changed. He was treated with respect and dignity to the end. When it came, staff were genuinely upset, but carried out the necessary procedures efficiently and quietly, so that we knew exactly what was happening. We were so glad that we made the right choice not to have him taken to hospital. This was about more than just medical treatment, this was caring and love at its best.

My father recently passed away peacefully at Acer House, having lived there for 2 and a half years. He was very happy living there and got on well with all the staff. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff and there is always a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere at the home. During Dad's
final week, the care that he received was exceptional, and he was always treated with kindness, respect and tenderness. During this sad time, both myself and others members of our family were looked after so well by the staff whilst we were visiting Dad. I cannot speak highly enough of this care home and how well they look after their residents and would recommend it to anyone.

Reply from Samantha Ealden, Home Manager at Acer House Care Home - Avery Healthcare

I have lived here at Acer House since September 2017. All the staff are very friendly and helpful and I have been happy here. During the numerous lockdowns due to Covid, they helped keep our spirits up while we were unable to have our families visit us.

My Father has been a resident at Acer House for 3 years. He had chosen Acer House because he needed residential care due to being confined to a wheelchair. This gave him the freedom to continue his social life outside. As well as the care, support, and security of being at Acer House. He is extremely
happy there. It was a tough time for him during lockdown, he really missed his independence. Acer House was amazing throughout those times. They communicated with the relatives very regularly and still do. All credit to the managers, the brilliant hard working receptionists and all the staff. It certainly is a very caring loving place to be.

Reply from Samantha Ealden, Home Manager at Acer House Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Thank you for taking the time to review Acer House Care Home in Weston-super-Mare. Thank you for your lovely feedback about the care and support your dad is offered here at Acer House. It is always heartwarming to receive such positive feedback from the whole team. Supporting your dad to continue his community engagement, and actively supporting independence is key to his well-being, proving life does not end when you enter a care home, it’s a new beginning. Best Wishes.

My 96-year-old mother has been a resident at Acer House Care Home for several years. The manager and her team provide a professional, caring, and supportive environment for her. The whole team are a delight to meet. The COVID lockdown has been a challenging experience for residents, relatives, and
also staff. They continue to be supportive and cheerful despite having to wear masks throughout their shifts. My mother looks forward to her visits to the on-site hairdresser for a good chat. We always feel confident when leaving my mother after visiting, knowing she is in good hands and that we will be contacted if there are any issues of concern. On several occasions, the staff have gone 'the extra mile' to help my mother.

The Care Home Manager and her excellent team run a very tight ship. Extremely professional, devoted, and very very caring. A home that is proactive and not reactive.

My mum was in the care of Acer House for seven months. In that time she was treated with love and respect. During her 'end-of-life' week her family were able to be with her. She was treated tenderly and with care by all members of staff.

So grateful for the love and care given to Mum over the Christmas and New Year period when we were unable to come to see her. This was her first Christmas at Acer House. With her dementia, Mum finds it very hard to remember from one day to the next what is really happening. All the staff go the extra
mile to try and keep all the positive and happy memories alive so that each day is a new start and a good experience with things to look forward to - without worrying about what has gone. Bless you all for your care and kindness.

The care and attention given by the staff during a visit with Occupational Therapy was wonderful. Mum needed to be hoisted to try a new commode/shower chair. The staff were gentle, explained every move, and made her feel safe. All the staff are friendly, understanding, and kind in all they do both to
residents and families. Thank you.

The home is better managed now and mum is well cared for and happy, she has no complaints and during Covid she has been kept safe in a secure environment. As we have not been inside Acer House Care Home since March 2020, some aspects we are unable to give definite answers, but we will say it is good.
Thank you to the management and reception staff for answering questions and the courteous way they arrange our visits.

My Father was at Acer House Care Home for almost three years and we are so grateful for the wonderful care he received there, from his very first day we knew he was in a special place. From the minute you walked into the home the receptionists were all so welcoming.
All the staff were kind and attentive
from the care team to the cleaners, the chefs, and the people who arranged activities, they made all the residents feel special and us as a family as well. The home were incredible during lockdown and kept everyone safe in such difficult circumstances. The staff were always available to get updates and the introduction of Skype calls helped when it was not possible to visit. Under the guidance of the outstanding Manager at Acer House Care Home, all the staff provide outstanding care.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.823)

Overview of Review Score

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.

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 4.823 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.

Sam

Sam Ealden

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.
