I am happy here. Staff are kind and caring. I have a reduced appetite so find there is too much food and smaller portions would be better for me.

Mum is normal very happy and contented. She always eats very well. Eating is a social event and I truly think mum enjoys the atmosphere.
Happy music helps create a feel-good factor which reflects on the residents.
Coach outings are another good feature. Their rooms are secure places for them to retire.
Overall pleased we moved mum in.

Dad has been here for nearly 4 years, and after a short period of adjustment has settled well. The staff are extremely good with him, and very attentive.


Care is good, as is food, and entertainment. We are more than happy.

Sunrise of Frognal House has provided a secure, friendly and professionally run environment for my father during his 1 month's respite stay.
All of the staff are friendly and attentive which was recommended by a friend who had a relative there. All we were told was absolutely correct so we had no reservations
about placing dad there.
Many many thanks.

Sunrise at Frognal, Sidcup, Kent is a very good care home with an excellent staff. Wonderful accommodation and excellent grounds with a beautiful garden. Day trips on the Sunrise bus, lots of music, dancing and other activities. The food seems of a high standard and varied. Sometimes things go missing
from rooms as other residents take them and can be hard to get back.

I resided alone (never felt lonely) for 25 years. Due to my age and finding it difficult to manage my house, I felt I had to have help. Now at Sunrise, I have help and support when requested. The staff is very helpful and friendly.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.608)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.608) out of 10 for Frognal House Care Home - Avery Collection is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 23 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 4.730 for Frognal House Care Home - Avery Collection is calculated as follows: ( (224 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 285 Ratings = 4.73

  • 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 4.878 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Frognal House Care Home - Avery Collection is based on 23 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 131 registered maximum number of service users is 26.2. 23 Positive Reviews ÷ 26.2 = 0.878

  • 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.
