My nan is a resident at Sunrise of Westbourne and she is very well cared for and always seems very happy when I come in to visit her. Recently my mum passed away and all the Sunrise Staff were extremely kind to my nan and me. I always enjoy coming into visit as it's a relaxing place to be and all the
staff are lovely.

My friend moved into this beautiful home 3 years ago, the love compassion and specialist Dementia care she received is second to none. It moves me to tears just thinking about the dignity she retained during this difficult time. The staff were always so upbeat and welcoming, I will miss going in there
I felt that I was part of the Sunrise family.

My father spent nearly 9 extremely happy years at Sunrise of Westbourne.
He was independent during most of this time and treated it as a real home.
Because of the care and support, he was able to come and go as suited him and visit all the places he found in this beautiful area.
Even when he gave
up his car, the bus service was very convenient and he still maintained his almost daily excursions.
The staff were superb in their interest and care and he really felt part of a family.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

December was very difficult as my father died aged 93. He and my mother lived happily together at Sunrise.
Afterwards, the staff were so supportive of my mother who suffers from dementia. They enabled a quick move onto the Reminiscence Floor as she could no longer cope on her own. My father had been
supporting her a great deal until his death. This move was made easy for all of us by the whole team.
We held my father's wake at Sunrise and this was organised easily and well. The food and drink provided was delicious. My mother was able to socialise in an environment she already knew.
A staff member supported her all day throughout the funeral and wake which made such a difference and allowed me to talk to guests who had come from far and wide. The staff were supportive and professional in all aspect of my mother's care and in communication with me. My mother has settled well and I cannot believe how fantastic they have been! Such a help during this very sad and difficult time.

My mum went into Sunrise of Westbourne after a severe stroke which left her half paralysed and unable to communicate. Yet somehow, the care staff managed to reach her. I remember one lady (care worker) coming down the stairs and my mum just grinned. Another time, one of the staff gave my mum a kiss
and there was joy and engagement in my mum's face.
I can't thank the staff enough for the difference they made to my mum in the last few months of her life. The dignity and respect with which they treat the residents is just amazing and humbling. They are worth their weight in gold.

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.

Wendy

Wendy Blow

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.

In my personal life, I am married and live in Southbourne. I love the beach, especially in the autumn. In my spare time, I love to read criminal and mystery books and take walks down the beach. I am also an unashamed Harry Potter fan.
