Care Homes Owned by Friends of the Elderly in Surrey

We moved our mum into Redcot when it became clear she was unable to stay at home. From the initial visit and throughout her short stay (despite her stubborn resistance to any form of help!), the staff were always kind, caring and very patient. We were well informed about any changes to her condition or medication and found everyone happy to answer our questions. I will always be profoundly grateful for the care and compassion she (and I) received during her final days which made a difficult situation so much more bearable.

If things had been different I believe mum would have been happy to live at Redcot. It has a happy and homely atmosphere, the garden and views are lovely, there's a variety of activities for residents and the staff form a caring and professional team.

What a wonderful place to be for the elderly to be in touch with the outside world from there home. A safe, bright happy place. the staff really care and involve everyone in the activities of the day. Mum always loved going over to the coffee shop for a hot chocolate and doing the word search. Thank you for your careing ways with mum. She always felt special.

Very well managed and caring home. From the moment we were shown around we felt at ease. The level of care from the staff was truly wonderful and we could easily see they genuinely cared about their residents. The food served was excellent, and there was a good variety of activities offered.

Mu husband received end of life care in The Bernard Surley. The staff were phenomenal and compassionate and dedicated, nothing was too much trouble. The home felt friendly and was a welcoming place for visitors in the final days.

My Mother-in-law isn't very sociable, she is taken down to lunch each day which she enjoys but will not participate in any of the numerous activities put on for the residents. I know that we made the right choice by choosing Redcot which is our nearest Care Home.

Mum (92) has been visiting the Bradbury Day Centre 4 days a week for over a year and I have nothing but the utmost praise for all the happy, friendly staff and for the support they have given her. I have visited several times, unexpected, and have found staff holding bingo, quizzes or singalongs. The atmosphere is friendly, supportive and totally uplifting. The staff have so much energy and they project so much happiness it's hard not to get involved with them.

My mum is Italian and, with her Dementia/Alzheimer's, has reverted to speaking in her original language - although she understands and speaks English! This did not diminish her enjoyment of being at the day centre at all. On the days she does not attend, she always asks when she is next going which is a really good indication to me that she enjoys her time there.

This day centre is absolutely wonderful. I would not hesitate in recommending to my friends and family.

As soon as my dad came to The Bernard Sunley Home he was so welcomed and cared for so beautifully. All the staff were amazing, their laughter, fun, care, reassurance and gentleness were outstanding. I cannot thank everyone enough. I thank them also for looking after me! Thank you, Bernard Sunley, for being such a lovely home.

My wife's uncle has settled into his new home in Redcot due I am sure to the happy and helpful nature of the staff .

He is getting used to living here and being cared for on a daily basis.

My mother has settled into Redcot very quickly. We can see she is being well cared for and safe. She very much enjoys the meals and activities they have daily. All staff members care kind and thoughtful and already now her every need. The family are very grateful for the care and attention she receives here.

My relative came for a period of respite after being in hospital following a house fire. He arrived with virtually no belongings whilst we were trying to sort things out. The staff + management went above + beyond throughout his stay. They were supportive of myself too, as well as him, throughout the entire stay. I cannot thank the team enough for everything. They made a very traumatic time so much better. Side note am told bed was comfy + food/coffee/cake were great!

Whilst it doesn't affect the star rating there is sometimes an issue with parking but there is a free car park 500 yards away.

The family are reassured that she is well looked after and any individual needs/requests are catered for.

My mother has been at Redcot since November 2022. She does now refer to Redcot as home which indicates how well she regards being there. She always praise the staff for being helpful and cheerful and enjoys the atmosphere with many opportunities for the residents to meet and share activities and outings. I would thoroughly recommend Redcot to anyone needing a caring environment to live in.

Thank you so much for the care, affection you gave to my husband. The welcome we just received on our arrival was so welcoming, smiles making my husband feel he would be well looked after. The staff always greeted warmly. His bedroom was just great, overlooking the gardens and a lovely print of a river over his bed. He was a great fisherman, and loved the garden. Thank you all so much.

I was reluctant to put my father into a care home; however, since he's been a Redcot, he has flourished. The staff and management are superb, caring and supremely professional, lovely atmosphere. All the residents seem happy, grub's good

We thank the Bradbury Day Centre Staff from the bottom of our hearts for all the great care they have given to both mum and dad over the years, it has been such a big part of their lives attending the Day Centre and has always been so reassuring knowing that whilst they were in the care of the Bradbury Day centre staff they would be well looked after, having fun, being well entertained and being fed and watered. Would highly recommend.

Have only been once as my sister as only recently moved in. My sister was happy and smiling as I have not seen for a long time. The home is so beautiful inside and out. We were made to feel very comfortable. Staffing very friendly and accommodating.

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.

Although it was only the briefest of stays, the kindness of the staff was so wonderful. In a stressful "end of life" scenario, they helped our situation, and we will always be truly thankful.
