Avon Reach Celebrates Colten Care’s Top 20 UK Care Home Group Award

29 April 2025

At Avon Reach in Mudeford, Christchurch, we’re proud to be part of Colten Care’s achievement as one of the UK’s Top 20 large care home groups, a title earned for ten consecutive years through independent reviews from residents, families, and friends.

With a 9.8 out of 10 review score on Carehome.co.uk and a Good CQC rating, Avon Reach continues to be trusted by local families for its nurse-led residential, nursing, and respite care, something we’ve been proud to provide to the local community for over 30 years.

As one family member shared:

“From the day my mother arrived to the day she peacefully passed away, she considered Avon Reach to be her happy home… Her health and well-being improved due to the excellent care.”

Another recent review described the home as:

“Very professional, plenty of activities if wanted. I knew my mum was in safe hands, which was so reassuring.”

Located within walking distance of Mudeford Quay and with easy access from Christchurch and Highcliffe, Avon Reach offers 60 light-filled en-suite bedrooms, beautifully landscaped gardens, a hair and beauty salon, and a warm, familiar atmosphere.

We’re proud to support residents with individualised care plans, led by our in-house nursing team who are on site 24/7. Whether for a short respite stay or long-term support, our team works together like a family, making each day meaningful and comfortable for those we care for.

Colten Care operates 21 homes across the South, all offering registered nursing care. Seven are rated Outstanding by the CQC, with the remainder Good. Our group review score stands at an exceptional 9.9 out of 10.
