Over all time Sunningdale Care Home has 12 reviews.
I moved mom here from a local care home, as I felt she needed f/t nursing care. We have been delighted with the care she receives. The staff are always kind and attentive and the manager is very approachable. I have great communication with the nurses who are always happy to explain moms health issues. I felt the last care was often understaffed but Sunningdale is always well staffed. Lady in admin is very helpful too.
My husband was in Sunningdale Care Home from 19/12/24 to 15/01/26 when he died. During that time, all of his needs were catered for with so much love and care; the staff and management are wonderful. They did everything for him. He was very happy there.
Dad suffers with severe dementia amongst other health matters. He can be difficult to deal with at times. The management and staff are second to none in the level of care they give to both dad and other family members that are visiting. Sunningdale really puts their residents first, I cannot fault them. The whole family feels at ease with dad being cared for by them, it's essential to have this level of trust and Sunningdale does not disappoint.
All the family are happy with our mother's care.
I along with my family are very happy with the care my husband gets from both careworker and nursing staff. My husband is receiving palliative care at the moment and the staff attending him are excellent. Every consideration is given to his comfort and his needs. We are always made welcome when we visit him. I am so grateful to all the staff.
We, as a family, cannot praise Sunningdale highly enough for the care that my husband receives. Since moving into Sunningdale in July, we have been so impressed with all the place has to offer. It was a hard decision to put my husband into care however I can visit and leave him there knowing he is in the best hands and getting the care he deserves. He himself is so happy and it's nice to see him like that. He is treated with so much respect and dignity with the care he recieves. He loves the home cooked food and is always well fed and provided with snacks and drinks regularly. He thrives with the variety of activites offered as there is always something to do. He is taken out regularly around the local area. Staff are warm and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. There is a family feel to the place and you are always welcome to visit anytime and made to feel part of the family. We cannot thank ALL the staff enough for everything they do and how much we appreciate them.
Has a family atmosphere and the staff are very helpful at all times. We, as a family, are very happy that my wife is well looked after and is safe at all times.
Excellent care home with very welcoming and supportive staff - both to residents and family. A "home from home", which is exactly what we were looking for.
My mum is a resident at Sunningdale Care Home, having moved in during Summer 2019. Whilst this is something I never would have wanted, I have to say the management and all of the staff provide the best care for her and all of the residents. The care they provide also extends to our whole family, they always do their best for us, particularly during this whole Covid-19 period. In a difficult period, the staff at Sunningdale Care Home have been outstanding, keeping my mum and everyone safe and well. I one hundred per cent believe my mum could not be in a better place and fully recommend Sunningdale Care Home as a caring and thoughtful place for her to live.
Thank you for your lovely feedback; the staff work tirelessly, and I will ensure that they are aware of this review. It is a pleasure to have your mum with us; she is a beautiful lady. We hope that you have been enjoying your visits, and we look forward to being able to welcome you for tea, cake and a game of bingo as soon as we are allowed!
When we had the funeral most of the staff that were off duty attended the funeral and stood outside the nursing home when her coffin went past. If I ever have to use or recommend a nursing home again, Sunningdale would be the only one I would choose.
We, as a family of my late mother, could not fault how mum was treated in the 12 months she was resident at Sunningdale. A big thank you to all the staff for everything they did for mum.
The home has a lovely chatty activities lady who is welcoming and often spends time looking for things for my gran to do, encouraging her to make cards, craft items or just to do a puzzle.
Being involved with the care plan was taxing as we hadn't done this before but when explained fully by the Manager, it was written just for my Gran. It contained details of likes and dislikes.
Thank you to all the staff at Sunningdale for making such a fuss so my gran settled in and loves having company at the touch of a buzzer.
Keep up the good work x
