My brother entered Sunrise in September 2016. He was in poor health having suffered from neglect due in part to living on his own. Sunrise was a godsend to us and for the last 3 years made his life brighter and enjoyable. The personal attention and care he received were second to none. The staff were
excellent and compassionate not only looking after him but making us his family feel welcome.

The Sunrise of Virginia Water team have been amazing in taking my mother in for respite following her stroke.
Nothing has been too much trouble for them and they have gone above and beyond in their efforts to make arrangements and settle her in. Everyone has been so kind, friendly and caring. Genuine
warmth exudes from all the employees here and its a welcoming, safe and secure environment.
My mother is happy to be here and has fulfilling days which ticks all my boxes!

I did not expect to receive the kind of care and attention I received during my temporary stay. The staff members are all so patient and amazing, especially as I am recovering from a difficult sudden operation. Nothing is too much trouble.

I am a respite resident and have been here two weeks. The staff are very pleasant and helpful. The accommodation is very good and bedroom pleasant. The Bistro is open all hours, therefore a good cup of coffee etc is always available. I have had visitors who have been impressed with the accommodation
and have opted to have the evening meal with me. The care team are first class and once I have sorted out my existing home it is my intention to make Sunrise of Virginia Water my permanent residence.

Experienced positive, caring and sympathetic attitude by ALL staff during my father's demise, and ongoing support to my Mother, both of whom had been resident of Sunrise Virginia Water since my fathers' descent into dementia.
Nothing was too much trouble following his death, including being able to
hold the Wake there, where friends and family could also see and experience the outstanding environment in which Mum now lives.

I am very happy and reassured by how my grandmother is looked after here by Sunrise staff. The team is genuinely caring towards the residents. The catering team provides appetizing meals to tempt those whose appetites are no longer what they were.
Thank you for being so welcoming to visitors too -
it makes the whole experience a family one.

Excellent care. Only criticism is that my Grandmother needs a little more encouragement to engage with the activities to ensure she doesn't become lazy or despondent. If she says 'no' it doesn't mean she doesn't want to do something in all cases!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.855)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.855) out of 10 for Virginia Water Care Home - Avery Collection is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 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 4.931 for Virginia Water Care Home - Avery Collection is calculated as follows: ( (190 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.931

  • 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 4.924 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Virginia Water Care Home - Avery Collection is based on 17 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 92 registered maximum number of service users is 18.4. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 18.4 = 0.924

  • 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.

Job Title: Head Chef/Dining Services Manager

I started my career at the iconic Waldorf Hotel in London which inspired my passion for hospitality.


Unsocial hours and the birth of my daughter made me rethink my career and hence the transition to care home catering for the past 15 years. I have never looked back. I really enjoy catering for all our residents’ dietary requirements. It’s a very rewarding job and a privilege to cook for them in their home. A birthday celebration never goes by without a personalised cake. My team also support special events in the home.

Nothing is too much trouble to ensure our residents happiness and their family’s peace of mind.
