Staff here are kind and friendly. They have established excellent relationships with my grandmother and made her feel so special on her recent birthday. They are also so welcoming and accommodating to the family when we visit. My grandmother seems very happy at Sunbridge.

Review from Jane C (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 March 2021 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
I am very happy with the care that my mum receives at Sunbridge. The staff treat her well and go the extra mile to keep her happy. On her birthday, we arranged a Skype call so that I and my brothers could see Mum. The staff had decorated the room and had made her a beautiful cake. They opened all the cards and presents that we had sent to her; it was lovely.

Review from Rosa G (Resident / Service User) published on 12 February 2021 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Food is served on time. Rooms, longe, offices are very clean. Everywhere staff know their job quite well. Everybody works at teams; hardly one can find a misunderstanding among themselves, even if all of them are busy. Administrators are superb and amazing. Problems that arise every now and then are attended to quickly, and most of the time meetings are held regularly. Staff commended their good work and work out solutions to make the home excellent.

Overall Experience
My mum's stay at Sunbridge was wonderful. All staff are helpful, courteous, always smiling and offering assistance whenever they could.
They kept us informed at all times of Mum's health conditions and acted immediately if she needed any medical care.

Review from Anne K (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 March 2019 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
There always seems to be a severe shortage of staff on a Sunday and nobody is visible to attend to residents. The gardens are in a terrible state with rubbish everywhere, gates and fences falling down and nothing has been done to rectify this despite emails to the company that owns the home and their assurance this will be rectified. The home has a low food hygiene rating and some staff seem unhappy.

Review from R L (Resident / Service User) published on 20 June 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
I sometimes feel that staff do not understand me and I am quite a deep person, some staff are lovely but some staff don't know how to respond to me. I am happy at Sunbridge but I cannot communicate with other residents as they have dementia so I rely on staff to communicate with and overall that is good. I enjoy the time with staff that understand me.

I was very well looked after a hip operation and the staff were so willing and delightful. The food was delicious and beautifully presented with a great deal of variety. I enjoyed the various entertainments put on and again, I was impressed by the variety.

Review from R L (Wife of Resident) published on 27 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
I visited the home as informed by the social worker in view of having a room for my husband. There was no place but they would inform me as soon as a room became vacant. The reception lady rang me and later the manager rang me and invited me. I like the atmosphere which is not like I see in other places. There are people talking, singing, laughing, staff are relaxed and it made me feel good. The day I came with my husband, we met the manager and staff who were very friendly and were well prepared for our visit.
