Dad really enjoyed his time at Sunrise. He enjoyed much of the food, trying several different dishes he's not had before, he put weight on! He didn't mix as much as our family would have hoped or expected, but that was his decision. The staff were over and above what we had hoped for, caring for him
in every way and also helping us as a family to see him, visit him and be in touch with him.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been visiting my friend who is a resident at Sunrise of Bassett for many years and thought I would like to say how very impressed I have been with how Sunrise has managed the home during this very difficult time. They have gone the extra mile in making sure that the residents are well cared for
and shown extreme sensitivity to them and their relatives and friends as they cope with these unprecedented times. We are kept up to date with all that is happening through emails and zoom meetings at which relatives and friends are invited to join in. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff who are so thoughtful and caring. The home is immaculately clean and their attention to detail in this respect is second to none. The kitchen staff produce delicious healthy meals and are willing to provide an alternative if the two choices on the menu are not to the resident’s taste. I cannot recommend Sunrise too highly. If you are thinking of a home from home for your loved one look no further.

Mum has been a resident in Sunrise of Bassett for a number of years and is very comfortable and content. I am impressed with the competent management team currently in place and feel they are making a real difference to the quality of care which the residents receive. There is much better communication
with relatives than in the past. All the staff are very kind and always treat mum with respect and good humour. When we are able to visit, the open bistro area gives the feeling of a hotel rather than a care home and is an attractive area in which to spend time.

The living space and staff are lovely. Food is delicious. Pre-Covid, they were able to go out and enjoy visiting places and have entertainers in, which was lovely. So pleased we can now visit inside, but behind a glass panel, keeping everyone safe.

Mum has been a Sunrise of Bassett resident for two years. Even though Mum is a dementia sufferer and not normally forthcoming in sharing her feelings, she does regularly comment that she is being well looked after by the lovely staff, in a nice place. I can only but agree.
Residents appear at ease
and engaged in their surroundings. For those who want it, there is a good range of activities.
Two years on, I am pleased we chose Sunrise.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We did a lot of research before deciding Sunrise of Bassett was to be Mum's new home. She has been a resident in assisted living now for 2 years and is very happy and well cared for.
Staff are all so kind and caring and respect her individual preferences and needs.
The rooms are bright, spacious
and newly decorated, some opening onto the garden area which is delightful. Nursing care is excellent with good communication to the family. The food is well cooked, beautifully presented and varied. Residents have daily afternoon tea served.
Many meaningful activities are organised which provide companionship and enjoyment for Mum. It provides a real community spirit which is a comfort knowing she can choose to relax or participate.
The team under a new manager have kept all the residents safe from Covid with very strict hygiene measures. The care home is immaculate.
We would definitely recommend.

Sunrise is a first-class care home that goes above and beyond to make the residents feel safe and at home. The management and staff are excellent and the care provided cannot be faulted. We looked at many care homes before choosing Sunrise and it certainly was the best choice - no regrets at all. We
have total confidence that Mum is in safe hands. Thank you, everyone, at Sunrise - you all do a brilliant job.

Review from Marilyn M (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 December 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother needed somewhere to recuperate following a fall which caused her to fracture her pelvis. I was able to visit Sunrise to see their facilities, in a Covid19 safe way, and was very impressed by the excellent facilities. The staff at Sunrise were extremely approachable, helpful and facilitated
the move from the NHS rehab facility without fuss. My mother settled in well, and I was relieved to know she was safe, being well-fed and was able to socialise with other residents and get involved with the activities as her mobility improved. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble, and the staff were charming and efficient.
I was able to accompany my mother to her consultant review at the hospital, and Sunrise organised a suitable taxi for us to travel there. Their policy of regular Covid testing of staff and residents helped to keep everyone safe.
I would like to thank everyone who made this possible!

My mother has been in Sunrise of Bassett for 5 months, arriving just before the lockdown started. We chose it because we knew that she could no longer live independently and would need nursing care. We are very happy with the level of care, cleanliness and positive atmosphere. I would strongly recommend

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.820)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.820) out of 10 for Southampton Manor Care Home - Avery Collection is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.820 for Southampton Manor Care Home - Avery Collection is calculated as follows: ( (381 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 427 Ratings = 4.82
  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 Southampton Manor Care Home - Avery Collection is based on 34 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 104 registered maximum number of service users is 20.8, which has been reached with 34 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.

Karen Searle

Job Title: General Manager

I have worked in the care sector for 20 years, 17 as a Registered Manager, going on to become Regional Manager for Southern Services for a further two years with the same Company.


To further my knowledge in care I then took a role as Operations Manager for a domiciliary care company which I very much enjoyed although I realised over a period of time that the interaction with families and residents was something I missed hugely so decided to go with my heart and back into a care home environment.


I am very focused on providing the highest standard of care here at Southampton Manor, an environment where the resident is at the centre of all we do and building on a sense of community for those who live, work and visit the home.

Job Title: Activities and Volunteer Coordinator

I have been here since September 2011, starting off as a care manager, I have always been involved in supporting our residents with their daily activities. I really enjoy coming to work each day knowing that I am able to make a difference to our residents lives nurturing their mind, body and spirit. I have always felt passionate to encourage equality within our community by finding the residents activities suited for their individual needs by adapting activities, giving them the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and talents.


We arrange various special events, entertainment and trips out of the community each week. We also encourage and support our residents to plan and organise their own activities whether it be hobbies or interests we will ensure a successful experience.

Job Title: Dining Services Coordinator

My journey as Dinging Service Coordinator here started in July 2019. I am very privileged to have joined a professional team of Chefs, Dining Staff, Catering staff, and the whole of the Bassett team, who have helped me to settle into my role.


In My 36 years as a Chef and Catering Manager I have never worked in the care sector. I am enjoying learning new skills every day. I have however worked in many different areas of the hospitality industry. Won awards, cooked and served for Royalty. I spent 12 years in Spain as Head Chef for a very busy Fish and Steak Restaurant, so with that in mind I hope to share my knowledge and experience to enhance what is already and exceptionally first class service. By providing an exclusive, comfortable environment for residents to enjoy high quality, fresh, flavoursome, nutritionally balanced food. I look forward to the challenge, and achieving all my goals here.
