My nana receives incredible care from her key workers, I couldn't wish for a more happy, kind and attentive support group. It is really clear how much the staff of Acacia Mews Care Home - Avery Healthcare cares for their residents. The care home has not only wonderful facilities for its residents, but
for the visitors too including the beautiful gardens, the cafeteria area and the complimentary coffee and tea machine. I have never seen my Nana happier! A big thank you to all the staff at Acacia Mews for making my nana smile every day.

I have found the care home to be a relatively relaxed environment for the residents. The bedrooms are a lovely size and nicely decorated. My brother described it as more like a hotel than a care home. The staff are friendly and attentive. I feel very comfortable leaving Mum in the care of the home.

My mother has been a resident for one year. During that time she has experienced the residential unit and the dementia unit. The staff are always helpful and pleasant. The facilities are excellent and comparable with other homes that charge much more. We are very satisfied with the services provisions.

My lovely mum has vascular dementia and has been in Acacia Mews for nearly three years now. The staff are lovely. Mum always looks well cared for and is very content. They use a lot of music and I know that reaches through the mental fog to her and she always enjoys herself. I can relax knowing she

My mother has now been a resident for the past five months. From the preparation to her actually moving in I cannot fault the staff - we were kept up to date and made to feel comfortable with what was a hard decision for all the family. The staff give regular updates on Mum at every visit. She is very

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.756)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.756) out of 10 for Acacia Mews 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 70 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 70 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 4.756 for Acacia Mews Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (645 Excellents x 5) + (171 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 831 Ratings = 4.756

  • 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 Acacia Mews Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 70 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 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6, which has been reached with 70 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.

My name is Bella, short for Izabela, and I am Polish. I have worked for Avery since 2014 and I am the Deputy Manager at Acacia Mews. My first role was as a hostess and care assistant. I was promoted to the senior care assistant role in December 2014 and then became a team leader in October 2015. I was promoted to deputy manager in February 2021.


I have a level 3 diploma in health and social care and the equivalent of a BSc (Hons) degree in psychology and social rehabilitation.

Ana Paven

Job Title: Team Leader

Joined: 2014

My name is Ana and I am 38yrs old.

I came to the UK from Romania in 2014 with my husband to build a new life.


In 2016, after many applications to different care homes, without success, Acacia Mews gave me a chance and I started to work as a Care Assistant on the night shift. With my ambition and respect for the role I was in, I was supported by Avery to complete my NVQ 2 in health and social care. In 2018 I was promoted to Senior Carer. In 2020 I enrolled at Bedfordshire University and started my level 5 in Health and Social Care.


In 2022 I changed to day shifts after I was promoted to Team Leader.


I am very dedicated to the job that I do, I am empathetic, and patient and enjoy working as part of a team.

Robbie McLean

Job Title: Head Chef

Joined: 2022

My name is Robbie and I am the Head Chef at Acacia Mews.


I first started working here in 2014 as a Kitchen Assistant. I worked my way up to a trainee Chef and achieved levels 1 and 2 in Hospitality and Catering. I left Acacia Mews in 2017 to gain more experience in different environments and I returned as Head Chef in 2022. I love the fact that I can be more creative here, and I missed the interaction with the residents.


I have 2 young Sons that keep me busy outside of work but I still find time to think about and practice new recipes. I think it is really important to get feedback from the people that live at Acacia Mews to ensure I can deliver the meals that they enjoy.
