My Mum has only been here one week, so my experience is rather limited at the moment but from what I have seen so far, I am extremely impressed. This is the only home explored that would take Mum without 1:1 which suggested to me that it would be a much safer environment for her with the appropriate
care and attention. So far I have not been disappointed. The girls are all absolutely lovely, from the manager to the carers, to the nurses to the kitchen staff - everybody has been so kind, reassuring and welcoming, not just to Mum but to me as well. There is such a lovely atmosphere in the home, so warm and friendly, physically and emotionally. I feel very comfortable here and totally reassured that it is the right place for Mum with her advanced dementia needs. The girls are all so caring and in fact, loving, to all the residents. I have found it all quite moving. Everybody is so hands-on with everything. I am really pleased and happy that Mum is in the care of Sunnyside.

I recommend Sunnyside Nursing Home. They go above any beyond to satisfy the service user and keep family updated in anything concerning my mother, no matter how big or small it may be.+

You can call into this nursing home unannounced at any time which I did before Mum went into care and although they are always incredibly busy, nothing was any trouble to discuss things and still applies now. It is always spotless and so are the residents. Food is very good with a wide variety. Staff
are always very kind to residents and there is always at least two staff in the room with the resident.

What can I say about Sunnyside Nursing Home? My mother went into Sunnyside in September 2016 on end of life care. The whole team were brilliant in nursing her back to reasonable health so she could go out every week on pre-arranged trips down the Thames at Windsor. She also loved their BBQs, Christmas
parties and theme days.
The staff on so many occasions going that extra mile to keep a smile on her face. On her final stay in hospital, after doing a 12-hour shift, it was lovely to see 3-4 carers at a time, call in to see her before they went home. Sunnyside is very welcoming to visit, staff that always have a smile for all, very good at tea making and are generally lovely people.
Well done Sunnyside, you're the best. My mum loved you all.

My mother was a resident at Sunnyside for almost two and a half years. We visited her on numerous occasions during her stay, and were welcomed to do so at any time of the day or night. Unlike some other care homes, the residents are not left in their rooms ringing bells but are routinely encouraged
to get dressed and be taken to the lounges. This means that the staff get to know the residents well and can anticipate their needs. In the last year or so there has been a focus on improving the activities for residents. Residents now enjoy trips out in a regular basis. I would hope that now these are underway, the home can focus on updating some of the furniture which is past it’s prime, maybe a better music system and certainly more newspapers. However, as far as the standard of nursing goes Sunnyside expects all its staff to be vigilant and caring and kind and me and my family's experience was that they achieve this very well.

During my husbands stay in Sunnyside he has been cared for to a high standard. Both the carers and nursing staff have been observant in noticing, treating and keeping me informed about sideline health issues, such as an unsightly wart growth on his ear, and a minor urinary infection.
He is kept in
a clean and tidy condition and he appears to be content, spending his time in the lounge with other residents.
Sadly, because of the Alzheimers Disease from which he is suffering, he doesn't participate in activities but enjoys watching others.
The staff endeavour to talk with him as much as they are able and they all comment on his lovely smile, which indicates that he is content.

Overall Experience4.0 out of 5
I was caring for my wife full time from 2002 till March 2016. She has complex care needs due to advanced secondary progressive MS, diabetes type 2 and various other issues. By the end of 2016 it became clear that she needed a permanent nursing home placement in order to ensure that her high level of
care needs could continue to be met and that there would be qualified nurses readily available and involved in her care at all times. She was awarded Continuing Healthcare in February 2016 and a placement at Sunnyside Nursing Home in Iver, South Bucks was proposed. I had plenty of experience to draw upon as regards home care, hospital care and a variety of care homes providing respite care, and my initial impression of Sunnyside was a very favourable one. I was satisfied that this nursing home would be able to provide my wife with the kind of care that she needed and that the environment would be a congenial one. I was not disappointed.

20% of the 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
Outstanding - the service is performing exceptionally well.
Good - the service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
Requires improvement - the service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
Inadequate - the service is performing badly and we've taken enforcement action against the provider of the service.
No rating/under appeal/rating suspended - there are some services which we can't rate, while some might be under appeal from the provider. Suspended ratings are being reviewed by us and will be published soon.
Ticks and crosses
We don't rate every type of service. For services we haven't rated we use ticks and crosses to show whether we've asked them to take further action or taken enforcement action against them.
There's no need for the service to take further action. If this service has not had a CQC inspection since it registered with us, our judgement may be based on our assessment of declarations and evidence supplied by the service.
The service must make improvements.
At least one standard in this area was not being met when we inspected the service and we have taken enforcement action.
Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
