Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am extremely happy with the service and care I receive from Avante Care & Support. All the carers, office staff and field care staff are excellent. They are all very friendly, extremely helpful and nothing is too much trouble. I have 4 calls a day, 7 days a week. Personal care is always given with
respect for my privacy/dignity. My medication is very complicated but always given on time. All my meals are prepared and presented lovely. House work is done to a very high standard. I truly appreciate the services I receive from Avante Care & Support and would highly recommend them.

Advante has cared for my husband since June 2023. He is non-verbal and permanently in bed. The carers are kind, caring and treat him with respect. They chat to him all the time they are attending to him. They always include me in their conversations. I've met quite a few of them over the months. I'm
pleased to welcome them all into my home. If I have a problem I'm able to talk to them about it. I class them as friends.

Review from A N (Client) published on 4 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
With a few bad experiences with a few agency carers it's been a good experience. It takes time for a carer and service user to get into each other's way of doing things and to know and trust one another. Care is/can be very personal, trust takes time to build. My carer's have become trusted carers,
reliable, very competent & trustworthy. I think caring should be classified as a profession, they will always be needed.
Reply from Jason Quinn, Registered Manager at Avante Home Care and Support

Thank you for your kind words. You are so correct that it takes time to build trust between a client and their carers and I am very happy that you have been able to develop such a great rapport with the carers that support you.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Most of the carers are very good, although some are very slow putting up my costs (going over the time allotted). Also the time they come varies on who is working and what their round it. Therefore I have to see who is coming as to whether I start my wife's care or not to keep the costs down! As for
recommending, I would but point out my experience.

Review from Kirsty M (Daughter of Client) published on 22 December 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad has double-handed care four times a day, with meds needed at specific times. As if Avante didn't have enough additional challenges to face this year with Covid, they always manage to provide an excellent service to my dad, even with last-minute changes needed due to hospital visits or (more often
these days), cancelled hospital visits meaning care needs to be reinstated at the last minute. For any last-minute or ad hoc requests, they always try to say 'yes' than 'no' and certainly put their service users at the heart of everything they do, which is a comfort and reassurance in these very challenging times.


Tier 4 means that Xmas changes of plans for many service users and their families is now likely to put an additional demand on Avante staff, both to meet their client's needs, and to manage to get a break and time needed for their own families. I do sincerely hope that each and every member of staff is able to grab some well deserved 'me time' over the Christmas period.

Review from Shirley E (Daughter of Client) published on 12 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Once again I would like to say thank you to my mum's carer who has gone above and beyond her remit to identify that my mum may possibly have UTI, and she advised me to contact my mum's doctor. It has since transpired that my mum did have an infection and by the carer highlighting this at an early stage,
it saved my mum’s health becoming progressively worse and accumulating with a hospital admission.
Knowing that my mum has a Carer who is very professional and genuinely cares about the people she looks after, it puts my mind at rest knowing that my mum is being looked after and in safe hands.

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.390 for Avante Home Care and Support is calculated as follows: ( (17 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 41 Ratings = 4.39
