Review from Gail D (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A comfortable and friendly nursing home, where staff will go out of their way to help you and make sure that your relatives have everything they need and are well looked after.
All the staff are very approachable and listen to your concerns if you have any.
They try to accommodate you as best they
can if you do have any concerns.
A modern nursing home, newly renovated and they try to give residents varied things to do to keep their minds and bodies as active as possible.
Meals are varied too and they do not mind if you take them in for your relatives.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The experience at first was complicated but with time, easier, as I knew the routine from day to day. When I got to know the staff and the routine, I was able to enjoy the routine better off. It was getting used to the routine of the place.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum started off at Sunnyside as emergency respite and 6 months later is still there. The staff have had a lot to take on as my mum's dementia progressively got worse, and they were all amazing with her despite the day to day obstacles they face with personal hygiene and getting her dressed. We, as
a family, will be forever thankful to Sunnyside for helping my mum during her time there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been in Sunnyside for 18 months. The care staff are all lovely. Nothing is too much trouble. My mum feels very safe and is really happy. I would recommend anyone to use Sunnyside. I looked at a lot of different places for my mum and it is very hard to make a decision about care, but
I am glad I chose Sunnyside. Once again, thank you to all the staff for keeping my mum happy.

Review from Tracy L (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 April 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Mum spent a week here for respite care due to work being carried out at her home. Overall the care she received was adequate but we did have cause to complain about two occasions in relation to her not being taken to the dining room for her supper and when she hadn't been given a bath until her 4th
day there, despite us requesting this and being told it would be done the day after admission. Other concerns were related to the length of time it took for staff to deal with her as she required, especially when the staff were due to help with the hoist, at times it seemed that the home was understaffed? The staff themselves were always polite and pleasant and treated mum with respect, however, if we needed respite again we may look elsewhere as it wasn't what had been described during our initial enquiries.

This morning I had a severe accident and rang assistance and two carers appeared and provided excellent care. They were as thoughtful as they could possibly have been. I was and am incredibly appreciative and grateful.
Thank You.

My mum lives in a caring community where she is happy, warm, well fed and most of all well looked after. All the staff are great and care for the residents and my mum very very well.

Review from Alan F (Son of Resident) published on 15 August 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
We entered my mum into this care home after my father sadly passed away. We were told some lovely stories about the staff and the care. However in the last 12 months my mum was here our views changed. We arrived on many occasions with a certain member of staff shouting at a resident. A resident was
shouting for the toilet whilst 3 staff were sat around a table having a chat. My mum constantly needed a shave and cleaning, when I mentioned this to a deputy manager her reply and I quote was "I'll get one of the girls to do it because anything like that goes through me". The last straw came for us when we arrived at Sunday lunch and my mum was sat at the table not being able to feed herself properly with a cup of milk on its side on the plate and my mum using her fingers to eat mashed potato. Whilst you had 4 staff sat around a table eating their dinners.
Reply from HC-One, Careline Team at Sunnyside

Thank you for raising your concerns and we are very sorry if this was your experience. During the 12 months since your Mum lived in the home, Sunnyside has recruited an experienced new manager and deputy manager. We carry out regular monitoring checks to ensure that staff are working effectively and the home has a daily programme of activities which all staff participate in supporting and promoting. Following an inspection from the local authority in February this year the feedback regarding staff interactions was positive and evidenced that staff were responding in a supportive manner to meet people’s needs. HC-One aims to deliver the kindest possible care to all Residents, and we know how important it is to provide continuity of care with friendly and familiar staff members to support each Resident. We are committed to delivering this vision through recruiting, training and staffing our homes with all permanent HC-One carers and nurses.

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.
