I have a family member staying here after moving from another home. Her quality of life has massively improved compared to her previous home. We could not fault the staff, facilities or level of care that is being provided.
I’ll be recommending Sunrise of Westbourne to anyone that will listen.

Our mother has been a resident at Sunrise for over four years now and we can't stress enough how happy we are with the care she has received. All the staff without exception are kind, helpful, cheerful and very caring towards the residents. We literally can't fault Sunrise of Westbourne on any level.
They are expert at what they do and we are most grateful.

A vibrant and welcoming community with a "nothing's too much trouble outlook." From the housekeeping right up to the senior management. Excellent food, maintenance service, entertainment program and health care. Mum has never looked so well for many years and is thoroughly enjoying her stay. Cost wise
admittedly not cheap but you get what you pay for and after all, there is no substitute for class.
In summary an absolutely splendid care facility.

Our close friends mum went into Sunrise of Westbourne, has sadly since died but she had 3 very happy years with Sunrise. Everything was seamless for my friend from the moment they assessed her to the moment she went in.....very quickly she improved by the constant kindness and stimulation she received,
when we visited her we were always made to feel welcome by the team and it was so obvious she was happy, relaxed, and felt at home and safe. It was also a great relief for us to see our friend happy with his decision about putting his mum in Sunrise.


Could not recommend more highly.

At a time when emotions were running high, Sunrise Westbourne helped me in moving my aunt into a nursing home and made it so much easier.
Their friendliness from the start was amazing and their outstanding care to ensure she settled in well and met other residents with similar backgrounds/hobbies really
was appreciated.
I cannot believe how well my aunt has settled in, made friends and joins in (and now encourages other residents) with the many and varied activities including little trips out on the minibus, which go on throughout the day/evening.

I moved in her mid-January having never lived in a communal complex before I had mixed feelings. However, it is now September and I must admit I am very happy here.
The staff are both pleasant and helpful whilst the other occupant's ladies and gents are very friendly.
All in all, I must say and often
speak very well of Sunrise of Westbourne and recommend it when necessary.

It is difficult to find words to adequately express how pleased my family is that my grandfather resides at Sunrise. The care he receives is fabulous and he is treated with dignity and the utmost respect at all times. The home itself and the staff are wonderful. Knowing he is so well looked after
is a big relief for us given we live overseas and are not able to look out for him personally on a regular basis. The ongoing updates we receive from Sunrise reassure us that my grandfather continues to be well. Thank you to everyone at Sunrise for all you do.

My mother-in-law has been a resident at Sunrise of Westbourne for the last eleven months. The care, consideration, patience and support that she is receiving from everyone at this home is second to none. Nothing is too much trouble. The food and all facilities are excellent. She also receives good nursing
care whenever she is feeling under the weather.
Whenever we visit she is happy and frequently says, "I do not know how you found this place but you could not have found anywhere better".

My relative was admitted to Sunrise as, after neglecting himself following the death of his wife, he was suffering from malnutrition and general poor health and welfare. After only 2 weeks, he is brighter, smiley and eating. Smartly dressed and clean. A credit to the staff and ready for the next part
of his life.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.985)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.985) out of 10 for Westbourne Tower Care Home - Avery Collection is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 60 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 60 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.985 for Westbourne Tower Care Home - Avery Collection is calculated as follows: ( (704 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 713 Ratings = 4.985

  • b) 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 Westbourne Tower Care Home - Avery Collection is based on 60 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 114 registered maximum number of service users is 22.8, which has been reached with 60 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.

Job Title: Dining Service Co-ordinator

Joined: 2007

I have been here since it opened in 2006. I can’t believe how time has flown by. Although I already had the skill set I was working as a Bank Chef alongside my own business and was asked to take on the managerial role which was an easy transition. I trained and worked in London, Morocco, France and Italy before returning to the UK and settling in Bournemouth. My food specialities are multicultural and the residents love it when I do theme days. I have been a major part of this home being awarded CQC Outstanding, the CQC assessor loved my secret ingredient “ a bit of love”. I run a monthly Dining Committee where residents can influence what is on the menu, likes and dislikes and I love nothing more than walking around the dining room on a daily basis to ensure their wishes have been followed. I like to surprise residents with their favourite dishes, for special occasions. I have to say I love my job and my residents make me smile every day. I am proud to say I work here.

I am delighted to have been recently appointed for this important role, in delivering a varied, stimulating and educational programme for our residents. I like to think outside the box and ongoing feedback from our residents, it enables my talented activity team to deliver, along with our team of amazing volunteers. I bring to the role my experience of managing teams, Interior Design, Floristry, Art, and Teaching and I even played table tennis for Wales! I am inspired by talking to our residents and finding out what they enjoy and what makes them smile, whether that's an entertainer, Tai Chi, Music Therapy, Camera or Theatre Club or 1 to 1 person-centred activities. 110% is put into everything we do here.

Job Title: Senior Director of Customer Relations

Joined: 2006

I have worked here since 2006, and the things that have remained constant throughout that time are the love, dedication and unfaltering kindness my colleagues deliver every day. No two days are the same; there is always something going on which makes you smile and our residents become part of our extended family. We are committed to filling their days with happy moments.


My role is to market our home and welcome new residents into it, dealing with professionals and family members. Making a significant decision at a critical time is made easy when we have a beautiful product, lovely food, a great activities programme (including minibus outings) and caring staff, all coupled with happy appreciative residents and family members, this is borne out by our positive carehome.co.uk reviews.
