Whilst in the care home, my relative was treated with the utmost dignity and care. When she passed away, it appeared that the management did not care about her relatives or her personal possessions. When I collected her possessions, several items were missing and I had to ask for some which had...
The staff were most thoughtful with our loss but not the management.

Sunnyside was a lovely home for the last four years of my granny's life. The care staff are kind, patient and considerate. Granny always used to say she was very well looked after and that the food was very nice. The facilities are of good quality with a nice lounge and a lovely garden, which granny enjoyed sitting in. Thank you to all the lovely people at Sunnyside over the last four years.
Thank you so much for your kind words, it means a lot to know you were happy with the care given to your grandmother and that she was happy.
My mum moved to Sunnyside only six weeks ago and already we see a positive change in her behaviour and mood. The staff are very caring and nothing is too much trouble.

My father spent the last four months of his life at Sunnyside. The staff worked very hard to help him settle in. They were very professional and friendly, providing a homely environment. He always praised the quality and volume of food. We particularly like the fact that the home was small enough for residents to get to know each other and the staff. The size of the home was an important reason for our choice of care home. Thank you to everyone.
Thank you for your kind words, we are glad that we were able to meet the standards of care you wanted for your father.

My mother stayed at Sunnyside for the last few weeks of her precious life. I can honestly say I can't imagine a more perfect place for her. The manager and the staff were excellent, compassionate, gentle, flexible and loving - I can't speak highly enough about them. Once you meet the manager, you just know this is going to be a special place - her caring attitude is infectious, and her staff follow her lead. As mentioned before, I can't recommend Sunnyside highly enough.
Thank you so much for your kind words; it means alot to us to know that you were happy with the care we provided for your mother in her last few weeks of her life.
When I visit, the home is clean and doesn't give off unpleasant smells.

I moved into Sunnyside on October 31st, 2022, and it has been so welcoming and homely. The staff are all so helpful and kind, and nothing is too much trouble. The only thing I could wish for is more residents able to have a conversation with, but that is all. The room is very comfortable, and I was able to bring some things from home. I am very happy here and couldn't do any better.
Thank you so much for your kind words, and we will definitely take your suggestions on board.

The care Sunnyside have given my grandmother over the last two and a half years has been amazing. The caring, compassionate staff have been there to make her last year happy and comfortable. The home is extremely clean and hygienic, and the staff are easy to talk to and help in any way they can.
