Review from David M (Wife of Resident) published on 13 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I could not wish for a better home for my wife. She is the love of my life and I demand only the best for her which I am getting from Sunnycroft.
All the requirements I demand are being met with excellent staff, food, room and cleanliness.

Review from Jonathan R (Son of Resident) published on 13 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The CQC rate Sunnycroft as 'good' I rate than as 'excellent'. My dad is 92 years old but still precious. I visit most days and witness genuine care and kindness as the staff interact with the residents. The senior team know every resident personally and can respond quickly if there is a problem. The
food is home cooked, the place is spotless and social activities are varied and hectic at Christmas. It is a truly happy place. My dad loves the staff and feels safe and cared for. In turn, we know it is a wonderful care home and we can trust them to care for our dad. I wholeheartedly recommend Sunnycroft.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.901)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.901) out of 10 for Sunnycroft is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.901 for Sunnycroft is calculated as follows: ( (236 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 262 Ratings = 4.901
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sunnycroft is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
