A very nice place, people (staff) calling family by name.
Immaculate.
The food is exceptional.
The only improvement would be for the entertainment to be more inclusive for younger adults.

My parents moved into Sunrise in 2013, unfortunately, my mother passed away 3 months later. My father subsequently moved into a smaller apartment which is very comfortable and opens out onto beautiful gardens. The service and care is very good and we've only had a couple of minor hiccups with urine
bottles not being emptied every day/morning unless chased.
The site and facilities are really good and the food and drink excellent. Sunrise welcomes visitors and pets, most staff are very welcoming.

I arrived here from the hospital, my son had arranged a room for me. I had no idea where it was so I was pleasantly surprised to find it in such a nice place. Just across the road is a common, where I have been taken numerous times. The staff have always treated me well and I shall miss the home
when I leave at the end of the week.

My sister arrived 6 weeks ago, straight from the hospital. The staff we met on arrival made her feel very welcome and I visited her twice a week and stayed all day and dined with her at lunchtime. My opinion of the staff is excellent, they have been very nice and extremely helpful. My sister leaves
here at the end of the week and I believe she will miss the home a lot. A lovely place and it gave me and my husband a great peace of mind. Thank you all and well done.

The general appearance of the rest home gives the feeling of a 4 star hotel and to this effect, it feels it can charge five star prices.
Cleanliness generally is good but in the resident's room is unsatisfactory. Food and tablets found under the armchair.
Paying for the assistance with washing and
dressing but very rarely doing this.
My impression is that they get every penny they can out of their residents and know you will not move your loved ones as they become settled to their environment.

I believe this is a great care home. Everyone is friendly and helpful and great care is taken of all their residents. More carers would make life easier for the staff at certain times. There are many activities going on most days that the residents can participate if they require to do so. The carers
and nursing staff and all volunteers are very understanding and caring. A perfect home for my Mum.

Mu aunt and uncle have lived at Sunrise of Bassett for the last 2 years. They have enjoyed the privacy of their own rooms or socialised in the many activities and trips out, experiencing friendly, adoring professional attention from the staff in all areas. My aunt passed away peacefully in her sleep
age 96 at Sunrise of Bassett. During her final weeks, she was treated with utmost dignity and professional care.

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

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.


Malgorzata

Malgorzata Sokolska

Job Title: Activities and Volunteer Coordinator

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.


Nicola

Nicola Lewin

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.


Grant

Grant Gibson

Job Title: Client Liaison Manager

I joined the Signature at Bassett team in October 2019 as a Support Worker and quickly progressed within the home to a Covid Coordinator role and then successfully secured the role of Maintenance Coordinator. I have since become the Client Liaison Manager for Southampton Manor. Prior to working with the adult care sector, I worked for local Government & Housing Associations in a variety of roles within the Housing and Homelessness sector.
