  • Acer House Care Home - Avery Healthcare, Weston-super-Mare
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.

Residents can take full advantage of the onsite facilities including an activities room, cinema, therapy room and hairdressers all accessible daily.

My mother has been a resident in Acer House Care Home for four and a half years, initially with my father who died in the home in February 2015 having been wonderfully cared for by the staff. I feel so lucky to have had such fantastic care provided for my parents. I visit three times a week and it is
reassuring to see how happy my mother is in Acer House. I have never had a significant issue with the level of care. The staff are amazing, managers, carers and domestic they all do a great job.

This has to be the best residential home in Weston. The staff are caring, they treat residents with respect and dignity. The food is home cooked and delicious. The staff care for the family as well as the resident when things are difficult. The home is clean and well equipped with no nasty smells. Superb

My mother has been at Acer House for about a year and as far as I can tell, she is very happy.


On the occasions I have visited her, the staff have demonstrations that they are very caring and despite having to deal with regular challenges, they still cope well.

I and my two daughters visited many care homes before choosing this one which we believed stood out from the rest and in the time my wife has been there we have no reason to doubt that we made the right decision. First and foremost, the staff are so caring and obviously dedicated and the facilities
are outstanding. All our friends and family who have visited my wife have agreed that we would have been hard pressed to find a home that could offer more. Again the care shown by staff is amazing.

From the initial introduction, we felt extremely relaxed and happy about the care Mum was about to receive.
She has been treated really well, by extremely pleasant staff. It is clearly a place where people like to work and it shows with the happy residents.
Mum and our family have enjoyed her staying
here.

My mother had to move from her own apartment because of her disability and frequent falls. We were concerned how she would cope going into a care home after living independently up to the age of 92. From day one at Acer House we knew that she would be happy there and she is. The home is bright, cheerful,
clean and modern. The care staff are just amazing, so approachable, nothing is too much trouble and any requests are sorted immediately. It's such a relief to us, her family, to know that mum is happy, settled and well cared for.

I cannot speak highly enough of the staff at Acer House Care Home. The care they gave to my mum in her last days was outstanding and the care and compassion they showed to me as well were second to none. Thank you Acer House for looking after all of us in these last few days/weeks. You made a very difficult
time as gentle as possible.

My Mother-in-law has very limited mobility and has lived here for 6 weeks following discharge from hospital. From the beginning, nothing has been too much trouble. Moving in / liaison with hospital / sorting out medication, GP etc. was faultless. Her room is lovely with a large, fully adjustable bed
and she was encouraged and helped to personalise it. The food is excellent. She chooses to eat in her room, but the dining room is pleasant with fresh flowers on the table (arranging them is one of the activities) staff are always helpful and pleasant. The ensuite wet rooms, with disabled facilities, in each room, are excellent. Probably the most important thing (for a lady who cannot move unaided) to the best of my knowledge, is when she rings the bell for help it is answered promptly and courteously. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. We are lucky.

My mum has been cared for in Ashcombe since mid-2014 and my dad on Milton since early 2015 to enable them to "live together" despite their very different states of health/care needs. We experienced two other less satisfactory local care homes prior to moving mum and dad to Acer House and have nothing
but praise for the caring staff, the amazing activities, lovely surroundings and rooms and the relationships staff (junior to senior, care or admin or other service) have with our parents and with myself and my brother and our offspring. We feel our parents have the best possible quality of life in their circumstances due to the care Acer House provides and we feel listened to, respected and valued.

Such a lovely home! The staff make you feel so welcome, they always go that extra step to making you feel at home rather than a visitor. My grandchildren love to come with me, they are catered for too. Just ask for the toy box! I was so happy that I was able to join my friend for lunch. These things
really do make a difference.

Although my mother is happy at the home, my brothers and our wives have been a little disappointed with some aspects of our mother's stay. Communication has not always been good. While there are some activities for residents, there is little effort to make sure that residents take part in activities
so that my mother spends a lot of time doing nothing in her room. It would be nice if the staff took some initiative to help residents with simple tasks. I have in mind the television and radio. My mother is too proud to ask for help with these. As a result, she does not watch much TV or listen to the radio. It would help if staff asked her if she would like one or other device on.

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.
