I stayed in Bernard Sunley Home for four days. This was respite care to allow my wife to go on a short break. I was very impressed by the home. It is well-run, and the staff all seemed friendly, caring, and interested in me. They were all very helpful whenever I had any special requests or needs. I
would have no hesitation in staying at Bernard Sunley again and would recommend it to others too.

from Marjorie N (Wife of Resident) published on 8 August 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My husband was cared for following a fall that resulted in a hospital stay. What a relief to find the wonderful care he received upon leaving the hospital for respite/rehabilitation, which gave me such peace of mind. He had a lovely en-suite room that was ideal for someone with Dementia, including a
bell that sounded when he got out of bed to give a warning to the staff. The lounge/dining area is well furnished with comfortable chairs and tables
Most of all it was lovely to see the loving care the staff were giving to the residents. The grounds with their trees and flowers are a credit to the gardener, so tranquil, my husband even went to feed the ducks!
The whole area was spotlessly clean. During my husband's stay, it was our Diamond Wedding Anniversary the manager kindly said we could make use of the coffee lounge for a small get together of friends.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this home.

My father has resided at Davenhams for 6 years now & is well settled. He knows most of the staff who attend to him & they know him with his little quirks. I live in London, so my link is long distance, but I try to visit as often as I can. My father is bedridden & the carers feed him & turn him regularly
due to bedsores. He says to me he's content, but has said to his carers on several occasions that he wants to 'go', but his body won't let him. Overall, as far as I can tell from my too infrequent visits, I'm happy with the care he's receiving, including from the local community nurses.

Friends of the Elderly Wallington Day Care

from Jack B (Grandson of Resident) published on 13 May 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My grandmother, who is living with Alzheimer's, attended Friends of the Elderly Wallington Day Care for just a few weeks - but in that short time, the difference it made to her (and to us as a family) was truly remarkable.
From the very first day, the staff were warm, welcoming, and incredibly understanding
of her needs. They created a safe, stimulating, and compassionate environment where she felt not just cared for, but genuinely valued. Every time she returned home, she was smiling, engaged, and eager to share little moments from her day - something we hadn't seen in a long time. Even though her time there was brief, she absolutely loved it, and we felt a huge sense of comfort knowing she was in such capable, kind hands. The team clearly go above and beyond for every person who walks through the door.

Reply from Nicola Davies, Manager at Friends of the Elderly Wallington Day Care

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. It was a pleasure to know your grandmother, even for the short time she was here. She was a lovely lady, and we wish you all well for the future.

New Copford Place Residential Care Home

from Fae S (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 May 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Looking for a care home at short notice wasn't easy, especially when not having any previous experience. We feel so fortunate to have found New Copford Place. It's like a big, happy family with several, long-standing employees. All aspects of the staff - carers, cleaners, laundry, kitchen, office
and maintenance are consistenly cheeful and friendly and the home is always clean and fresh. Our mum is really well cared for and loved by everyone and it's clear to us that the staff love what they do. The rooms may not be the biggest and the facilities may not be the best, but to us this is a secondary factor. Our only other observations are that it seems to take a while for work on the home to get done once decisions are made, but that's probably because we don't understand the processes involved. Also, that although the gardens are lovely, it would be nice if they were more accessible. Overall New Copford Place is just a very pleasant place for our mum to be and for us to visit.

Reply from Daniel Sabau, Care Home Manager at New Copford Place Residential Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. We love having your mum here with us, she's always so lovely and polite. And indeed, it may look like certain things take a while to start, but that's because we need to make sure everything is done in a safe way for everyone. I'll pass your kind words to our staff team, I'm sure they'll be happy to know their work doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you. Home manager

My mother lived at The Lawn from July 2023 to March 2025 when sadly she passed away. Throughout her time here, she always received great care from lovely, kind, professional staff who went above and beyond. The manager was always ready to listen to any concerns I had, and all staff at all levels were
genuinely very fond of Mum and shared our sadness when she died at 97 years old.

The Bernard Sunley Nursing and Dementia Care Home

from Peter P (Husband of Resident) published on 7 April 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

From the very first day my wife moved into the home, everyone at Bernard Sunley has given the most extraordinary level of loving care and dedication to make sure she felt at home. Every aspect of the home from the various lounges, the food, the entertainment and activities were outstanding. Having
been my wife's full-time carer for sometime, my daughters and I were very apprehensive in giving that responsibility to strangers but Bernard Sunley widely exceeded our expectations and created a warm, friendly and home-from-home environment that gave my wife the dignity and love that was so important to us.
In the very stressful last few days my wife was with us, it is difficult to describe how magnificent everyone was to all the family. It really felt as though everyone was part of one big family.
No one wants their loved one to go into a care home but if that becomes inevitable, I cannot praise Bernard Sunley highly enough and would recommend them without reservation.
