The Avenue, Clayton, Bradford, BD14 6FH
View Full Details of The Avenue Nursing HomeMum went to The Avenue recently and there is no way I will ever be able to thank the staff enough for all they did for my mum and our family. I can honestly say I did not meet a single member of their staff that were anything less than exceptional. The facilities take this nursing home to another level, there is nothing in Bradford even close and we looked at many before selecting The Avenue. All the residents are so happy and well cared for. Forever grateful.
Mum was admitted to The Avenue Nursing Home, requiring nursing care. I knew at once that this was the place for Mum and she has been a resident for over two years, throughout which her care has been exemplary. There has only been one issue which was resolved quickly, completely to our satisfaction and I have only positive things to say about all staff there who helped Mum live life as fully as possible. Mum struggled with the hoist needed to transfer her to her special, comfortable chair and carers invented ways to help her relax (Avenue airways, singing) and Mum was no longer frightened. Mum also enjoyed outings to church and the garden centre, despite her care needs. Nothing has been too much trouble. Her special diet was accommodated and as Mum’s health failed, she was loved, cared for and able to pass away with dignity in her room. Mum looked on the Avenue staff as family and on the death of my father in November 2023 and Mum's death in December 2023, we have all been embraced by the love and care of The Avenue family.
Our mum stayed in The Avenue for approximately three months. We could not fault the care, compassion and dignity they gave our mum during her final months. We were kept up to date with everything regarding Mum's care, and nothing was too much trouble for the amazing staff there. Mum enjoyed the food, especially the desserts and having her hair and nails done. Every time we visited, she told us, "the staff are lovely", and we ourselves found the staff friendly, caring, cheerful and attentive. The home always appeared clean and well-led. Mum's clothes were laundered by the lovely housekeeping staff, who always chatted with Mum when they came into her room. My sister, my brother and I would like to thank all the wonderful staff involved in our mum's care. I would highly recommend The Avenue to anyone who may be looking for a Nursing/Care Home for a loved one.
Whilst in Greece, we received news that the care home my father-in-law was in, and had been in for 2 years, was being closed down. This was a very difficult time as my father-in-law has dementia. We are his only family and we were not in the country, to handle this emergency and view care homes. We spoke to the manager at The Avenue Care Home which is situated in Clayton and not only were they helpful and professional, but they made us feel they would welcome my father-in-law personally and care for him until we returned. We received daily calls to keep us posted about how he had settled in and they set up his room and bathroom for us. We even got photos of him in the day room enjoying the cricket with a shandy. We have not seen my father-in-law look as happy for a long time, so much so, that we have had the picture printed and framed. In that one picture, we could see my 'old' father-in-law. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. It's the little, simple gestures that make all the difference.
