Review from Kathy M (Wife of Resident) published on 25 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

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.

Review from Tim P (Son of Resident) published on 15 June 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
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.
Reply from Robert Evans Evans, Owner at Sunningdale Care Home

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!

I cannot recommend Sunningdale enough. We had to transfer my mother in law from one county to another and the manager moved heaven and earth to help me do so. The staff went above and beyond their care and needs to support my mother in law and visited her before and after shifts. They took turns looking
after her pet when they were off shift and always made sure she was comfortable and cared for. My mother in law had cancer and only lived for and was cared for at Sunningdale for seven months but Sunningdale made sure those seven months went as well as they could do and all showed so much care and passion in looking after my mother in law and the other resistents at the home.
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.

Review from Sarah H (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 December 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We found this home after weeks of searching for a local home where my aunt could visit my Gran, everyone was so welcoming, we were shown around and despite no vacancies at the time, one became available, we got to choose colour scheme, my gran loves pink, she when she arrived at the home she was so
happy, she has made lots of friends with the care team. Nothing is too much trouble, the meals are fantastic and we were offered a drink and biscuits too.
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

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.119)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.119) out of 10 for Sunningdale Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for Sunningdale Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  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 3.119 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sunningdale Care Home is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.4 = 0.119
  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.
