Overall Experience

My uncle came here originally for respite care for a week; however, after initially having doubts about him being in full-time care, this week showed that the care and mental stimulation that Sunrise care home gave him, there was no doubt this was the best place for him to be. He has now been there

five months and cannot praise the home enough. The staff and management go above and beyond to make him feel at home. My uncle has a diagnosis of Down’s Syndrome and Dementia, and it is such a reassurance that the home can meet his needs. He has made many friends and enjoys taking part in the large array of activities offered. There are many areas in the home where you can sit together and have quality time together with a cup of tea and cake. It is like one big happy family home, and that is thanks to the wonderful team at all levels who are dedicated to the well-being of their residents. I would highly recommend Sunrise care home to any prospective residents.

Overall Experience

I have recently been to visit my grandad at Sunrise, and I found the staff to be very welcoming and pleasant. The atmosphere was bright and lively, and all the staff seemed happy. My grandad seems happy to be living at Sunrise and is enjoying the attention he is receiving. The homemade cakes were very

nice.

Overall Experience

Our aunt has lived at Sunrise Nursing Home for a year now, and she has never been happier. They encourage her sociability and provide her with much warmth and attention. She loves the food and never has any complaints. It would be nice to see some of the profits go into making the place and its furnishings

less shabby, which lets down the overall feeling of the place as uncared for, though doesn't overshadow the fantastic work the carers do around the clock. Although run down, it doesn’t stop the place from feeling homely, open and welcoming. We are so pleased she is there and that we know she is well looked after.

Overall Experience

After a lovely respite break at Sunrise, we decided this was the right home for my brother to move to permanently. He has settled in really well and is loving all the activities and the staff - it really is a home-from-home! He has a lovely sea view from his room as well. The staff are really supportive

of the whole family, and this has made the decision for us so much easier than we expected. I would totally recommend Sunrise to anyone looking for a warm and friendly home.

Overall Experience

Sunrise is a wonderful, warm and friendly home. Every time I visit my uncle, there is always a homely and fun atmosphere with plenty of activities. The staff are amazing, and you can see the great relationship they have with the residents. The management has made the transition of my uncle moving to

this home so easy. They have gone above and beyond to help us as a family as well as the best interests of my uncle. My uncle has been thriving since he moved into the home, and we couldn’t be more happy. Thoroughly recommend Sunrise.

Overall Experience

My father is a resident at Sunrise, and he has never been happier. When I go to visit, he always tells me how well he is cared for and how much he likes being there. Just recently, they have had Covid in the home, and the staff have always kept me updated via phone calls.
The food always looks lovely,

and the refurbishments have made a great difference. The manager's door is always open, and she is happy to talk to me either on the phone or face to face.
My father told me that they have had a ukulele band recently, so it’s nice to know that they are having entertainment and activities.
I can not thank all the staff at Sunrise enough for all that they do.

Sunrise Nursing Home has been rejuvenated since coming out of Covid-19. They have a new manager and are now fully staffed. There seems to be a happy atmosphere amongst the staff and that reflects on the residents and all the relatives visiting their loved ones.

Overall Experience

Sunrise was the perfect home for my grandad. He had always lived in Felixstowe near the sea, so he loved that he could see the sea from his window. When I went to view the home, I fell in love with the place, and the staff and managers are really lovely, and they went above and beyond for grandad. He

had a very good relationship with his carers. I would definitely recommend this home.

I escorted my mother (the resident) to the hospital. This appointment attendance was organised by the home in a professional manner. A member of the care home staff was with my mum all the time. The home has just recovered from a Covid outbreak, this was managed professionally, and the home is now free

of Covid.

Overall Experience

My mother was a resident at Sunrise for over two years. She was always comfortable, well-fed, properly medicated, clean and neatly dressed. As her dementia increased, the staff were understanding, kind and compassionate.
The Covid pandemic was extremely well managed, and the staff remained cheerful

throughout such difficult times.
I would have no hesitation in recommending 'Sunrise' to anyone seeking a nursing home for a friend or relative.

Overall Experience

Both my parents were admitted just before the home's early lockdown. I have had no fears of them catching the Coronavirus due to all the measures and precautions the staff have taken. They have kept me well informed of any event or problems at any hour.
I call daily for an update, and all the staff

have been very kind and helpful in informing me of their health and states of mind in what has been a very stressful year. All have been very supportive and helpful. Visiting is very carefully managed to the benefit of all.
Due to the situation, I have been unable to enter the home since they were admitted.

My husband was with Sunrise Nursing Home (formerly Highcliffe House) for nearly 2 years. The moment we went in I knew we had come to a good place. All staff were very friendly and we felt most relaxed. The care my husband was given was excellent, three fresh cooked meals (with a choice) every day. Nursing

care was first class. My husband had a problem that couldn't be healed in hospital but in a short time medics here proved them all wrong.

Overall Experience

From the moment we moved our mother from a Residential home to Sunrise we have been warmly received and the care has been excellent. The management, nurses, carers, caterers and even the maintenance man have all been so friendly and receptive to any needs.
Mother has been treated with dignity and care

beyond what we have experienced before.
Each time we visit the staff are ready to stop what they are doing and discuss mum’s latest health, food intake and hydration. Their kindness is so very much appreciated. A cup of tea and a biscuit is always offered to make us feel at home too.
The decor of the room and furniture are all of an excellent standard. The adjustable electric beds with side retainers and medical-style mattresses add to her wellbeing. A spotless en-suite complements the room.
We found that because they have more than one lounge, we were able to have some quiet and private times with mother and also to talk to the staff when necessary.
Nothing seemed too much for them.

Staff at the home 'care'. Nothing is too much trouble and everything is done with a smile and reassurance. I would not be happy if I had to find another home for my husband as we looked long and hard before deciding on Sunrise. As their advertisement says, they care like family.

My sister has been living at this nursing home for the past 10 years. She is severely brain-damaged and cannot do anything for herself. Apart from one instance 2 and a half years ago, the family have been very happy with the way she has been looked after. We have found the standard of care very good.

We have always been notified of any issues and have always been able to talk to staff about any concerns.

Sunrise is more than a nursing home, it's my home. In my home, I am looked after by a friendly, competent staff, many of whom have become personal friends. In my home, I am fed with tasty meals, home-cooked daily. In my home, all the staff go the extra mile with activities and personal events like birthday

parties. In my home, the staff, relatives and residents are all part of the same team looking out for each other.

My great aunt was at Sunrise Nursing home for about 4 months before she passed in August 2019. The Nursing Home did a fantastic job of giving my great aunt all the comfort and care which she needed in the final months of her life. The staff was very supportive and caring which made a huge difference

when she transitioned from a care home to this Nursing home at the age of 99. I would like to wholeheartedly thank Sunrise Nursing home for this wonderful treatment. The home was also very helpful and supportive with helping arrange the cremation and documentation after her passing.

Overall Experience

Our family have been associated with Sunrise Homes (formerly Highliffe House) since 2012 where 4 members of our closest and dearest family have been superbly cared for with the utmost dignity. My father who has resided here since 2014 continues to receive this same dedicated care and the change of ownership

is in name only as the same staff continue to support me, and more importantly my father as he reaches his end of life.
