My mother was in another care home which, in my opinion, did not provide the care that she needed and she was unhappy being a resident. I moved her to Sunrise and during her stay, her health, both physical and mental, has improved considerably. She is very contented in the home. Sunrise provide excellent
care, the surroundings are beautiful and relaxing to hotel standards, the food is excellent and tailored to each resident's taste and many daily activities are provided.

Reply from Kim Harding, General Manager at Southampton Manor Care Home - Avery Collection

At Sunrise of Bassett our ultimate goal is to provide the best possible level of care we can. From our carers, nurses and activities team we strive to achieve a sociable and comfortable community our residents can call home. We are so happy to see the improvements made by your mother.

My mother needed somewhere to recuperate following a fall which caused her to fracture her pelvis. I was able to visit Sunrise to see their facilities, in a Covid19 safe way, and was very impressed by the excellent facilities. The staff at Sunrise were extremely approachable, helpful and facilitated
the move from the NHS rehab facility without fuss. My mother settled in well, and I was relieved to know she was safe, being well-fed and was able to socialise with other residents and get involved with the activities as her mobility improved. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble, and the staff were charming and efficient.
I was able to accompany my mother to her consultant review at the hospital, and Sunrise organised a suitable taxi for us to travel there. Their policy of regular Covid testing of staff and residents helped to keep everyone safe.
I would like to thank everyone who made this possible!

My mother has been in Sunrise of Bassett for 5 months, arriving just before the lockdown started. We chose it because we knew that she could no longer live independently and would need nursing care. We are very happy with the level of care, cleanliness and positive atmosphere. I would strongly recommend
the whole staff - the activities, the reception, the housekeeping, the catering, and the care staff, as they all give excellent service.

Before coming here I visited many care homes with my son and Sunrise of Bassett was the best, despite ups and downs I am happy here. During my first year here I took over the running of the resident's shop which I enjoyed very much. I also enjoyed indoor gardening and flower arranging activities. The
first time I went to a musical bingo I won a prize! I also liked painting and musical entertainment. The residents are encouraged to mix with others and be friendly.

Soon after I moved here, nearly three and a half years ago, I was asked to be the resident ambassador. The role included helping new residents to settle in and guide them to meet other residents and to explain activities they might enjoy. I have introduced new projects to the home which are well supported
and I love doing them.
I moved to be near my son, and it has been a good move. Although I am independent, it is reassuring to know that there are nurses and carers here 24-hours a day. I am always treated with respect from every member of staff.
I have some allergies and intolerances with my diet, and these are catered for very successfully.
I have learnt to do many crafts and artistic skills that I didn't know I had; they give me great pleasure.
I enjoy the company of many people that live here; we share our memories and have a good giggle.

The staff are very helpful. They pay attention to you and notice how you are feeling about actually staying and particularly I noticed this morning because I was not well this morning. I have a cat (which was readily accepted), I let her out directly into the garden but I fell when shutting the door
but immediately and the next day it was noticed and I was asked if I was ok etc.

My mother has been a resident at Sunrise of Bassett for nearly two years. I am so pleased she is being cared for so well especially during this current COVID crisis. She has company and staff who are working so hard to ensure activities are laid on for the residents. They are all so kind. Earlier issues
with my mother’s medication seem to have largely settled down but there are still occasional delays. I do miss going in to visit her and all of her friends but I do live close by and am more fortunate than others.
Thank you Sunrise.

We moved my aunt into Sunrise when she needed more care, and we have been delighted at the service provided by the staff, carers and the excellent environment and facilities at the home. She seems settled here, and while we haven’t been able to visit during the last few months, the staff have been exceptionally

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.768)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.768) out of 10 for Southampton Manor Care Home - Avery Collection is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.768 for Southampton Manor Care Home - Avery Collection is calculated as follows: ( (249 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 284 Ratings = 4.768

  • 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 Southampton Manor Care Home - Avery Collection is based on 22 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 104 registered maximum number of service users is 20.8, which has been reached with 22 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.

Karen Searle

Job Title: General Manager

I have worked in the care sector for 20 years, 17 as a Registered Manager, going on to become Regional Manager for Southern Services for a further two years with the same Company.


To further my knowledge in care I then took a role as Operations Manager for a domiciliary care company which I very much enjoyed although I realised over a period of time that the interaction with families and residents was something I missed hugely so decided to go with my heart and back into a care home environment.


I am very focused on providing the highest standard of care here at Southampton Manor, an environment where the resident is at the centre of all we do and building on a sense of community for those who live, work and visit the home.

I have been here since September 2011, starting off as a care manager, I have always been involved in supporting our residents with their daily activities. I really enjoy coming to work each day knowing that I am able to make a difference to our residents lives nurturing their mind, body and spirit. I have always felt passionate to encourage equality within our community by finding the residents activities suited for their individual needs by adapting activities, giving them the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and talents.


We arrange various special events, entertainment and trips out of the community each week. We also encourage and support our residents to plan and organise their own activities whether it be hobbies or interests we will ensure a successful experience.

Job Title: Dining Services Coordinator

My journey as Dinging Service Coordinator here started in July 2019. I am very privileged to have joined a professional team of Chefs, Dining Staff, Catering staff, and the whole of the Bassett team, who have helped me to settle into my role.


In My 36 years as a Chef and Catering Manager I have never worked in the care sector. I am enjoying learning new skills every day. I have however worked in many different areas of the hospitality industry. Won awards, cooked and served for Royalty. I spent 12 years in Spain as Head Chef for a very busy Fish and Steak Restaurant, so with that in mind I hope to share my knowledge and experience to enhance what is already and exceptionally first class service. By providing an exclusive, comfortable environment for residents to enjoy high quality, fresh, flavoursome, nutritionally balanced food. I look forward to the challenge, and achieving all my goals here.
