New Admissions Being Taken
The health and well-being of our residents and staff teams remain a priority at all Avery care homes. We are managing developments in the Coronavirus outbreak responsibly by following Government, World Health Organisation and Public Health England guidance, in order to keep everyone safe and well. This has meant that we have been unable to accept visitors for a tour in person during this time.
But this doesn’t mean that you can’t experience our care homes first-hand, as we can show you around our homes via a virtual tour through video media. If your loved one is currently a resident in one of our care homes in the UK, you can visit by means of a garden visit or a safe visit to an outside room especially designed for the occasion.
Our homes are committed to providing the highest standards of person centred care.

When you visit an Avery care home, you will see why we operate as one of the most reputable care home companies in the UK. You’ll experience the excellence of our home design first-hand, and the comfort and style of our interior spaces, but you will also be struck by something that cannot be fully designed out, something that requires a far more subtle and concerted effort – the creation of a spirit of togetherness, of companionship and friendship.
We understand that fine buildings and good design are just a precursor to creating vibrant, supportive communities for the elderly that give our residents and their families the peace of mind they deserve, and which celebrates the lives of our residents through sharing, reflection, good company and above all, fun.
It is this diligent approach that has recently earned two of our care homes an overall rating of Outstanding by our industry regulator. Why not visit one of our homes, spend some time in the company of our residents, talk to staff and feel the warmth and support that fills the home?
John Strowbridge (Managing Director) and Sharon Winfield (Chief Operating Officer) express their thanks for the patience, understanding and dedication of all our staff over the last few months.
