Review from Kathy H (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 December 2022 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
There is always plenty of staff on duty, and they are all so very kind and caring and always listen to her when she is having a tearful moment. Mum always looks clean and well-dressed - her clothes and nightwear are washed daily. She is well-fed, and the meals are lovely. They have a lot of activities, and Mum has started to sing again, which is great. Sundial Cottage is always clean and well-maintained. My family and I are so pleased Mum was able to stay; she has a lovely room where she can feed the birds and has squirrels that love the nuts too.

Review from Carole C (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 April 2022 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
What an amazing month of activities for the residents, from starting a new gardening club, walking out in the sunshine, driving to the forest and beach to an attending entertainer, not forgetting, the celebrating of several birthdays and St Patrick's day with Irish music and dance.
This home treats all the residents with dignity and helps support their well-being by engaging them in what they would like to do and helping them achieve it.
↩Reply from Neil Sykes, Proprietor at Sundial Cottage Rest Home Ltd
Yes, it's great to see the residents enjoying themselves and the re-introduction of some activities that have not been possible during the pandemic. There is more planned including a relatives meeting, hope the weather is good!

Review from Carol B (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 January 2022 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother spent a week at Sundial on her first visit to a care home. We were both apprehensive as I had been living with her for a year, and the experience of even trying to find a home had been a challenge. However, once I had made contact with Sundial, everything became clear that we had found somewhere where she could be happy as I had lots of help and information from the staff that I had contact with.
She had a really good week and would like to return in the future if necessary, which is a great recommendation from her. I had good contact with the home during her stay as not being able to view the home due to Covid there has to be a lot of trust that all will be well. They were all very kind to both of us, and we are both very happy with the home, management and staff.

Review from Karen J (Wife of Resident) published on 15 November 2021 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
I would highly recommend Sundial Cottage care home. Although my dealings with them were comparatively brief, the standard of care was excellent. At all times, I was kept informed of the welfare of my husband, and the staff also enquired about my well-being. The kindness and support proffered were exceptional. Huge thanks to everyone involved during what was a difficult situation. You made it so much easier to endure, and I am eternally grateful.

Review from Debbie B (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 October 2021 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
From the day my mum went into the Sundial Cottage Rest Home, I could see a change for the good in her. She was at the lowest point in her life, having just lost her 2nd son. She had given up on life. The staff and other residents gave her a reason to live. She flourished in their care and made some wonderful new friends. She had a purpose in life now, and slowly her sense of humour came back to her. Even in the difficult circumstances with Covid, the rest home still carried on as near normal as possible. The staff are amazing and have a real passion for their job. I would not hesitate in recommending this home to people. I can not fault them in any way. There are not enough words to thank them for the care that they gave to Mum.
A* home with A* staff.
Keep up the fantastic work you all do.

Review from J O (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 January 2020 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Mum who has Alzheimer's was a daycare client for 3 years at Sundial Cottage where she was looked after very well. She was happy and we know she was safe. Since December 2019 following fracturing her pelvis, she has been a resident. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sundial Cottage. Mum is settled and happy in comfortable surroundings with kind and dedicated staff to look after all her needs. She enjoys the food, all the activities and the company and knows she is safe and secure.

Review from Edna P (Wife of Resident) published on 13 January 2020 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My husband has been here for nearly three years. The staff here are kind, caring and really know their jobs. My husband has been up and down and the staff know how to treat him on his off days. I'm kept informed of any changes in him and you couldn't wish for a better home for him. I know he is in the best hands that I could wish for as it's hard work caring for residents and their needs. They are dedicated staff and you couldn't wish for better ones - they just do not stop and are always on the go and deal with whatever situation comes along. Lovely caring staff.

Overall Experience
My wife's sister was at Sundial Cottage care home for the date shown above. Unfortunately, due to additional health problems, she had to return to hospital until 11th October 2018. She now needs nursing care and is in a nursing home.
Her stay at Sundial Cottage was short, but during that time she was looked after very well, enjoyed her food and although she was unable to stand or walk, she was dressed properly and well looked after by the care home staff. We were also advised we could visit at any time, no prior warning needed. This gave us a lot of confidence in the care given.

The staff are friendly and approachable, they treat the residents with courtesy and dignity. Whenever I telephone to speak to Dad they help him with the phone, putting it to loudspeaker as he can't manage otherwise. Staff keep me informed of how Dad is and answer my questions in a helpful and compassionate manner.

Overall Experience
As my mother is quite young to be in a care home and it is the worst decision to make but the friendly staff and homely feel of Sundial Cottage made it much easier.
It's good to know that mum is receiving a much better standard of care and is safe from harm much more so than the family can provide for her. She seems happier in herself.

Review from Adrian B (Son of Resident) published on 30 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My mother has already spent a year in another local rest home that I thought was good until she moved to this residential home a month ago, which is even better. The highest standards of care and comfort are provided here, by staff who are professional and highly qualified. Activities are regular, meaningful and most enjoyable. Family visits are encouraged and welcomed. The hospitality towards loves ones (visiting family members) is commendable. Management is visibly interactive with staff and residents and always accessible. This residents home is clearly outstanding.
