About Ava House
At Ava House, we provide residential care for a wide range of people in the heart of Maryport, Cumberland. Our home supports older adults, younger adults, and people living with learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions and physical disabilities. We also offer respite care for those who need a short break or temporary support, giving families and carers some breathing space while their loved ones are well looked after. We are proud to have received a "Good" rating from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the genuine effort our team puts in every day to make sure the people living here feel safe, respected and at home. That rating matters to us, but what matters more is that the people in our care are happy and that their voices are heard in how we run things. We understand that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we do not take that lightly. From the moment someone first contacts us, we try to make the process as straightforward and reassuring as possible. We take time to understand each person as an individual, learning about their preferences, routines and what makes them feel comfortable, so that the support we offer genuinely fits around them rather than the other way around. Maryport is a town with a real sense of community, and we feel very much part of it. We encourage residents to stay connected to the people and activities that are important to them, whether that is within the home or out in the wider community. If you would like to find out more about Ava House or come and have a look around, we would be very happy to welcome you. Please do not hesitate to get in touch.
