I am now in my fourth consecutive year of visiting Avon Cliff several times each week. The aunt of my partner is nearly 100 years old. She is well cared for in every respect of her daily and medical needs, and with dignity and respect. Every member of the carer and nursing team is very professional, friendly and welcoming on each occasion, always working with a quiet sense of efficiency. Any enquiries, even if trivial, are given full consideration and taken seriously by the management, who operate an 'open door' policy. Any issues are acted upon as swiftly as possible. Daytime activities are varied and inclusive. Friends and family members are encouraged to visit and attend 'open' events. The gardens are very pleasant in warmer weather. Indoors, the cafe is always a great place to meet and chat with residents, relatives, friends and team members. As a former fully trained chef, I confirm the food and beverages to be of a very high standard. Every visit to Avon Cliff is a real pleasure.

My parents were very fortunate to stay at Avon Cliff for 9 weeks to recover from a spell of illness. Throughout their stay, the level of care they received was excellent. My parents were treated with total respect and their dignity was maintained at all times. The care team were wonderful, so attentive, cheerful, polite and welcoming. My parents also enjoyed the impressive range of outings that were organised by the home. Thank you to the care team who took my mother to a keep fit class.

My father stayed at Avon Cliff for some respite care following a few serious medical issues. My family and I can't thank the whole team enough for their care, kindness, support and patience at what was a difficult time for our dad and for us. He enjoyed his brief stay but often asks to visit to see everyone again and to help him to remember the lovely times he shared with both the staff and residents. Avon Cliff will always have a special place in our hearts for all that they did for him and for us. Thank you.

My initial review here for Avon Cliff, dated 25 April 2017, found excellence with the care of my aunt. Every word remains true. After several visits each week continuously since April 2017, I have no hesitation now in confirming that the standard of care and excellence then observed by myself has, if anything, even improved. Avon Cliff remains, in all aspects of caring and service, an exemplary example of a residential and nursing home. There is dignity and respectful, friendly support for all residents, from every single member of a cheerful, enthusiastic and extremely considerate team. A warm and welcoming atmosphere, with varied and interesting activities, yet peace may always be found. The cuisine is freshly prepared and both varied and delicious. Every single member of the Avon Cliff team acts professionally at all times, especially notable if health and dietary issues become of concern. What each Avon Cliff team member gets, is a living. What each one gives, is life itself.

It's a perfect facility for someone in need of medical care and mobility assistance. I felt my sister's needs were well attended. The staff are genuine and caring all the way around. My sister needed socialisation and this was perfect even when she needed some nudging. I found the nurses to be very competent and on top of things. The gardens provided some nice downtime. Being a health professional I really appreciate Avon Cliff, good management and health care team.

My mother has been a resident for over a year. The care home is well run efficient, caring and the team really care about the residents. Nothing here is too much trouble, the attitude is caring and a "can-do" policy. Food is excellent. The minute you walk into the front door you feel at home. In my experience it's brilliant.

My friend was welcomed straight away and has been very well cared for. As her health deteriorates, her needs are definitely being met.
All staff are so friendly and helpful and it is a pleasure to visit. We are kept informed of her care and the manager is happy to talk through any concerns. As her friends, we are being supported too, which is so important.

My mother has been a resident of Avon Cliff for nearly three years. She receives kind and compassionate care from all the staff. Her needs and wishes are at the centre of everything. We are welcomed whenever we visit and supported by the staff. Hospitality is excellent. The cafe is open to have drinks and homemade cakes at any time of day. The restaurant serves delicious food.
The home manager and nurses have an "open door" policy and encourage residents and family to chat about anything they wish to raise.
A wonderful, happy home, well led with amazing dedicated staff. Impossible to better!

The premises, activities on offer and the standard of food are exemplary. However, what makes Avon Cliff special are the people. Absolutely everyone was wonderfully kind as well as professional. The care my ailing mother received was top notch. I would not hesitate to recommend Avon Cliff for respite, assisted care or nursing care.

The comfort and care provided in this care home was all that I could wish for my mother. Nothing was too much to ask. The facilities are excellent and the staff and management could not have done more to take care of my mother during her rehabilitation following her recent heart attack.

Review submitted by James L (Son of Resident/Service User) on Friday 10 August 2018. Review relates to August 2018.
Avon Cliff was recommended by a receptionist at the hospital. The manager came to meet and at the hospital the next morning. She was charming and very sympathetic to my dad's need (he is 102 years old), recuperating from a leg operation.
The care home has been caring and friendly. The nurses are excellent. The food is good. It is kept clean, bright and tidy. Thank you.
