It's been a pleasure working with the Sunningdale team in moving Dad from living with us to being resident in a care home. He's settled far quicker than was expected and the care has been acceptional.

My aunt was very poorly after leaving hospital and the care at Sunningdale has improved her health greatly.
I am always allowed into her room to put things in for her , whatever time I go it's very clean and tidy.
I was even allowed to take the dog in to see her.
My aunt enjoys the food and has put on a bit of weight.
They have lots of activities for residents including chair t'ai chi and jewellery making.
I wish I had known about this lovely place when my dad went into care a few years ago as his experience was very different.
Thank you all at Sunningdale for really caring.

Sunningdale House Care Home looked after my mum for the past 16 months. My mum has advanced dementia and the staff looked after her with compassion and dignity. I cannot recommend this home enough.
