Eastbourne Gardens Care Home - Avery Collection

I am so pleased I do not have to worry about any domestic things as I did in my flat on my own. I am free to come and go - with taxis - at any time. I consider myself lucky to be here.

My mother has now been living at Sunrise Eastbourne for 3 months and loves it. She was finding it too much of a struggle coping with her own flat and wanted to be looked after. We looked at several homes in the area and chose Sunrise. Part of the reason is that my mother can stay at Sunrise even when her needs change. At the moment, she is able to care for her personal hygiene herself but if and when she is unable to, she can remain in the same room at Sunrise but the care given by Sunrise will increase.

She has a very pleasant ensuite room with kitchen area and has taken in her own furniture.

The staff are always very welcoming whenever I visit and my mother finds all the staff very helpful and kind.

There are many activities for the residents to enjoy but no one is forced to do anything.

I am amazed my mother has settled so well and am sure it is mostly down to the staff making her feel so at home.

I had a wonderful stay at Sunrise after an operation. The staff and food were wonderful and my stay there helped me to make a complete recovery. I am a regular visitor and attend the social activities as often as I am able.

Bistro facilities are much appreciated. The residents are mostly content and well cared for. A lovely atmosphere.

An interesting and informative family meeting, we as a family are so pleased that my mother is now in Sunrise, and more than happy with the care she receives here. The staff are consistently gentle and caring, and we can't praise them too highly. Well done to everyone.

Exemplary care over a five year period with appropriate transition from simple care through to dementia care. Consistent caring, thoughtful, sensitive treatment.

My mother was welcomed to Sunrise after a very difficult period of physical and mental illness. She was very thin, highly anxious and unhappy. After a very short period at Sunrise she began to gain weight, sleep well and she regained her 'spark', began smiling again. I have visited her at different times of day, on different days, both weekday and weekends and I have consistently observed the staff being gentle, warm and treating my mother with dignity. I get a sense of real affection between residents and staff.

My father moved into Sunrise as respite and it turned into permanent. Every member of staff from concierge, domestics etc through to carers and management have been very kind, caring and professional. My father is not the easiest of individuals but through joint partnership we manage to work together to enable his stay there as comfortable as possible. Wonderful home and i feel very happy when i leave, only negative- would be good to have a list of contact numbers knowing who to speak to when situations arise.

The family will be forever grateful for the love and care provided. Albeit at a considerate cost. My only negative would be having to pay for dad's room for 30 days after his death at £85 a day. This seems very commercial and slightly distasteful.

Much more like a hotel than a care home. Bright friendly surroundings and a caring environment. Varied and flexible menu. The Bistro area is a brilliant idea and perfect for meeting and chatting with friends or family. Staff have always been approachable and helpful.
