My mum has been in Sunnyside for 10 weeks. Staff are very caring and kind. Mum is very well looked after.
Staff are also very patient when Mum gets agitated sometimes.
I am very happy with the care received and would say my mum is very content. It was the best decision to place Mum in Sunnyside.

Dad has been in the home for almost a year. The staff have become like a family, showing compassion, care and above all dignity and kindness to my dad. They always seem rushed off their feet and struggle somewhat in the main living room with the lifting equipment in such a small confined space.

The staff and management team are always helpful, nothing is too much trouble. It is evident when visiting, the staff really are about the residents by the way they engage with them. The home is well-run and always clean. The management team welcome suggestions and feedback. Mum is very settled here,
I would not hesitate to recommend Sunnyside to others.

Met the manager when visiting my cousin, what a wonderful lady, her face lit up when she saw me. Her commitment to all is first class. It's my first time visiting and it is a lovely atmosphere. The manager does a wonderful job. I'd have no problems recommending Sunnyside Care Home to anyone, you'll
be looked after with love and dedication.

Sunnyside is a very special place. My mother has recently moved to Sunnyside, and we couldn't be happier. The staff are wonderful and welcoming and can't do enough for the residents and their families. Whenever I visit, which is different each time, I receive a warm welcome, and staff always know where
my mum is. The residents are treated with respect at all times, and the staff are kind and caring. Staff create a community of family and value all residents.

I have spent four weeks visiting my mum, from Australia. It is always heartbreaking when it is time to say goodbye but also so reassuring to see her interaction with the caring staff at Sunnyside. My mum receives kindness and affection which warms my heart.

My mum has only been at the home a few weeks but everyone has been so kind and helpful nothing any trouble for the staff. I was very wary after having a bad experience with a previous place but I feel so much happier now. The staff are caring and listen to any concerns I have and offer solutions. I
am very happy with the care my mum is getting at Sunnyside.

Review from J J (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 July 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Having to put a loved one in care is one of the most difficult decisions to make. It will never be their home that they have loved. The day we went to visit, my mum was made to feel part of the meeting; she was asked why she wanted to come into care and what made her happy'/sad, she was made a drink,
and she was introduced to staff and shown the rooms and facilitates. The staff from management and care/support staff were friendly. The food must be good as Mum has gained weight (though she does complain sometimes). Entertainment, I know they play music/Coronation party. Ensuite rooms would be a bonus. In Mum's case, no carpet due to catheter issues.

I had an amazing visit with my mum today, who is a resident at Sunnyside. Mum was happy, content and telling me how happy she was at Sunnyside. The staff, without exception, are all magnificent! Every one of them makes a huge effort with both Mum and her visitors. A special mention to one lady, who
is Mum's new best friend - as Mum is deaf, the lady "signs" to her and ensures she is included in everything. Thank you all.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.655)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.655) out of 10 for Sunnyside is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.655 for Sunnyside is calculated as follows: ( (125 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 177 Ratings = 4.655
  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 Sunnyside is based on 15 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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6, which has been reached with 15 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.
