Since my relative was admitted to Sunnyside in July this year, I cannot believe how he has settled into Sunnyside which has given me and my family so much relief knowing he is cared for so well by all the staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has only been in Sunnyside for a short time, but already I feel she is safe and being well looked after. Although due to the COVID restrictions I haven’t been on a tour of the home, I feel it doesn't matter because I get such good feelings whenever I visit, about the care and attention she is
getting, and she’s settling in well. The manager there is so helpful and is always available to talk to whenever I phone, she has allayed any worries I have. The staff I have met already are a credit to the home and go over and above to provide care in a professional and patient manner. I now sleep well at night which I haven’t done for months and months.

My mum has been a resident at Sunnyside for 3 years. The standard of care she has received has been outstanding. Every member of staff that I have had contact with have been professional, kind, compassionate and extremely patient. I can rest easy in the knowledge that my mum is safe, clean and very
well cared for. Communication between Sunnyside and myself is also excellent.

My mum receives support and help from very friendly staff. All residents have been extremely safe and protected during Covid19. If you ring the home, staff have time to answer any queries and are both reassuring and caring people. My mum says she has a variety of nice, enjoyable meals.

I’d like to thank the lovely staff who cared so well for my mum during the last months and weeks of her life. Especially the carer who sat with her as she passed away. There are many other members of staff worthy of a mention. Mum especially had a soft spot for two in particular and the manager and
lady in the office were so supportive and friendly. This home isn’t posh but it’s warm and homely, clean with good food.

Unfortunately, my Nan lost her fight on Friday.
Thank you to all the staff for the care and love they showed her over the past year and a half. My Nan could be difficult at times. She was very stubborn but they always remained caring and loving towards her.
Even as busy as they are on Friday and
whenever we visited, the staff could not do enough for us.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are fantastic and extremely caring, helpful, professional and a credit to the company. The level of care my nana is given is exceptional and she is extremely happy at Sunnyside. The staff keep our family informed on my nana's daily routine. As a family, we feel very comforted that my nana
is being very well cared for when we are not around and the way she is with staff and they are with her is very comforting. The only negative is I think the staff are very understaffed.

Me and my family are very happy with the care home, my dad is settling slowly. The staff are very pleasant and is always happy to go the extra mile.
I have no complaints and I hope this continues for as long as my dad is there.
Well done to all concerned.

Having travelled down from Edinburgh to see my mum in her new surroundings I can safely say I can go back home in the knowledge that my mum is very happy and well looked after. I last saw my mum about August time and she was definitely not too good. Since I arrived last Thursday I cannot believe the
change in her. She has had a constant smile and really enjoys living here. I am so grateful to the staff and management for doing a wonderful job. Thank you all so much.

Review from L F (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 8 November 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Rooms viewed prior to relative taking up residence was not the standard they actually received. Food is an issue - over seasoned. Meat (on roast dinners) more often than not are tough, my father in law unable to cut it/chew it. Heating often too high, paying for heating and then opening windows to cool
rooms.
Rarely see manager and do not always get feedback to our questions.
Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Sunnyside

Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. We are sorry that you have expressed dissatisfaction with areas within the home. Rooms shown upon walk around are kept vacant so that families can view a room whilst maintaining the dignity of residents who reside in the home. The home manager completes daily checks on the quality of the food and there have recently been changes to kitchen staffing. The chef also completes checks during meal service to obtain feedback. The home manager has an open surgery each Friday so that families are given the opportunity to approach her with any concerns or questions they might have. Additionally, the manager holds a resident and family meeting monthly.

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.
