About Us

Alvony House Residential Care Home is a care home in Clevedon, North Somerset. We provide a home for older people and we also offer respite stays, whether that is to give a family carer a break or to help somebody find their feet again after a spell in hospital.

We are not a large place and we have no wish to be. What we offer instead is attention to the person, which sounds modest and is in fact the hardest thing in care to keep up over time. It means knowing how everybody likes their breakfast, which chair belongs to whom, who wants company in the morning and who would rather be left with the radio off. We ask about these things, we record them and we expect them to be followed.

Residents keep their own furniture and photographs and decide how their days run. Some want conversation and activity from early on. Others want privacy and a quiet afternoon, and neither needs justifying to us. Families are welcome whenever it suits them, and we keep in touch openly rather than only ringing when there is a difficulty.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. It reflects reliable everyday practice, which is what most families are actually looking for, and we keep checking the detail rather than assuming it will hold on its own. If you are considering a care home in this area for someone close to you, please come and look round and ask us anything you like.
