I'm visiting my mother-in-law for a while, and have been very impressed by what I've seen so far. The rooms are clean and fresh. The staff are like a family and do their utmost best for all residents whatever their disabilities. I've never seen my mother-in-law look so good!

My mother left her current nursing home in Horsham, to live near me in Bognor. On arrival, my mum was scared and crying and demanding to go home. A little deputy manager greeted us at the door, and immediately took my mother's hand and guided her through the lounge and into a very beautiful clean bedroom.
The deputy was so kind to her and she made her feel so welcome and loved, plus we all had a well-deserved cuppa.
2 days later, I visited my mother again expecting some kind of a verbal rant, but nothing. She was sitting in a chair just looking around and taking it all in.
I looked at how clean and tidy she had become. For a brief pause at that moment, my mum had returned to me, that usual look and polished clothes. Then Mum looked up and showed a cheery wave. Phew she was ok!
To me, this home is like a home-from-home environment. The staff always make me laugh, and every one of them is always willing to help offer support when needed.

My Dad has been at Summerly since June and this turn of events has been very hard for us as a family. However, from the manager coming to talk to us to prepare us for my Dad's everyday care at Summerly, once admitted, I am impressed. Dad has Alzheimer's and is not overly aware of the change, but we
are. The staff (special mention to three ladies in particular) are so kind. It is hard to see Dad in a care home but I'm glad he is in this one. He has a nice room and he likes the food. They do activities and have musicians and a pet zoo come in. I'm glad my Dad has settled here.

My husband was admitted to Summerley very quickly and efficiently in June with Alzheimer’s and mobility problems.
Every effort was made to find the most suitable room for him, and before he went into the room it was thoroughly cleaned and photos of family and pictures of his football idle were put
around.
Management and staff were very efficient and kind not only to my husband but to myself too realising how hard it was for me. Any problems or concerns were dealt with quickly, and a note on his door tells the staff of his requirements for his comfort each day. We are kept informed of any issues and problems relating to his personal needs.

It was a difficult decision for us as a family to admit Mum to a care home. Sadly due to Dad's failing health, he could no longer manage all of Mum's care needs.
Summerley was the second home we viewed, and as soon as my sister and I looked around, it just felt "right".
Mum was admitted a few days
later, and I can honestly say it's as if she has a new lease of life.
She is so much brighter and shows more interest in life than she has done for some time.
The staff are unfailingly kind, caring, compassionate and alert to Mum's needs.
We, as a family, visit regularly and are always welcomed and kept up to date with Mum's care.
The atmosphere in Summerley is warm and friendly, and we couldn't ask for a better home for Mum.

Mum was booked into Summerley care home for a two-week respite. Bearing in mind, that this is all new to her and our family, the carers could not have been more helpful, answering questions as required and offering advice on visiting etc. She is due home this week, and rather than arranging a taxi,
the manager has offered to take her home himself to ensure that she gets back safely. You cannot ask for more than that.
Thank you to all at Summerley house.

My husband has been a resident at Summerley (Care Home) for two years. He has gone through changes in ability and care needs during this time, as his condition declined. The staff and management have adapted to his needs and treated him with patience, dignity and kindness at all times. They have kept
me and my family up to date, contacted the GP promptly with any health worries and found activities (or made original equipment) to improve his quality of life.
They are welcoming to visitors and create a family atmosphere within the home.
I have always found staff treating all residents and other visitors in a kind, compassionate, dignified and positive manner at all times.
Food and drink always look and smells delicious, and the building is always clean, warm and welcoming.
As I and several members of our family work in healthcare, we have experience in care homes. We all feel very lucky to have found this excellent placement.

My nan was a resident until she passed on 26 December 2022. I feel compelled to review her end-of-life care as it was the most outstanding level of care. In comparison to my mum's end-of-life care (provided in the hospital), it was excellent. I was informed immediately of my nan's declining health,
and I was kept in the loop of all medication administered and when it was given. Each time I called for an update, every member of staff was able to provide me with in-depth detail about her health, medication and any changes. The manager was able to explain her end-of-life care, what would happen and how I would be included at every stage. My nan was treated with love, care and respect, and her wishes were respected at all times, as were mine. Even though it was Xmas and she deteriorated rapidly, the staff were attentive, quick to call nurses for immediate pain relief and also make sure I was supported. I was allowed to be with my nan at all times. The staff played her music and comforted her when in pain. I can't thank them enough.

Mum has been at Summerley for around 4-months now with late-onset Alzheimers having been admitted there from the hospital initially on a short stay placement on Boxing Day. Due to Covid, Mum was in isolation for 14-days, which was extremely hard for the family as we didn't know what the home was like,
but from the moment we were able to visit her, we have all been really impressed with the home and staff with their kindness and friendliness to us all which has reassured us that Mum is in the best place to enable all her needs to be met. Easter Sunday was Dad's birthday, and upon his visit, he was greeted by the staff with a homemade card and a birthday cake with the staff and residents singing "happy birthday" to him. I cannot explain what this meant to Dad being the first birthday without Mum at home with him... so thank you to everyone at Summerleyfor their care, dedication to their residents and their kindness to us all - you go above and beyond.

The staff are amazing are so caring with

My family want to thank Summerley care home from the bottom of our hearts for their absolute unconditional care for Dad during his stay with them the last few months. We had to make the hard decision to have Dad taken into care due to Alzheimer's and after several falls at home and a spell in hospital.
Mum was so worried about someone else looking after him and attending to his needs. Once we decided on Summerley, the manager reassured us even before Dad had arrived that he would be very welcome there whatever the challenges. We were overwhelmed with the kindness and the care of all the staff. Nothing was too much trouble, and they were just as caring towards Mum and us, always making sure that on our visits we had tea and biscuits, and never once were they too busy to talk to us about Dad and how he was doing. Dad was only there for 7-weeks, but right to the very end, they showed how much he mattered. We would not hesitate to recommend this care home to others.

In the summer it was clear that Mum who has Alzheimer’s was not coping at home and 3 carer visits per day were only upsetting her and causing her anxiety - she needed constant care and stability. I contacted Summerley as my Granny, Great Aunt and Uncle had all had excellent care there and I hoped it
would be familiar to Mum. My sister and I couldn’t have wished for a better outcome as Mum was assessed and accepted quickly and with ease and her quality of care can be reflected in the fact she settled within days and is the happiest we have seen her in years. A big thank you to all the staff and carers who make the home so special.

My mother has now been at Summerley for over two years. Her care needs are met with dignity and compassion. There is good communication from the excellent care staff, who I could not fault.
Mum's ongoing dementia is quite challenging, but the staff are very professional in dealing with her demands.
The home is very comfortable and is very well situated near the promenade.
I am very happy with all aspects of Mum's care and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Summerley.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.858)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.858) out of 10 for Summerley is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.858 for Summerley is calculated as follows: ( (248 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 282 Ratings = 4.858

  • b) 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 Summerley is based on 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 21 registered maximum number of service users is 4.2, which has been reached with 24 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
