Mum has been a resident of Sunrise at Southbourne for two and a half years now as she is living with Alzheimer's. Eighteen months ago she moved up to the Reminiscence floor, as living a more independent life on the lower floors became too difficult and stressful for her. As soon as she moved upstairs
she relaxed, she seemed so much calmer and far happier. She appears to enjoy all the activities, particularly anything musical. Staff always seem to be working hard to help her maintain her abilities for as long as possible.

Overall experience excellent. Staff excellent - kind, attentive and nothing is too much trouble. Range of activities and entertainment is amazing and very well thought out to cover most interests. Most people seemed very satisfied with the food which was very varied and of good quality. I have thoroughly
enjoyed my stay here and have moved from using a wheelchair to no assistance at all.

Very welcoming when I enter, the staff are extremely helpful and very friendly, lovely atmosphere (wouldn't mind being here myself). I feel all the lady residents have a great time and little chats together, the men have the same opportunities but alas are not so good at joining in - I love all the
activities you put on.

I came here after seven days in hospital. Two of my sisters had died in September and December. Sunrise is a wonderful place.
I have a lovely room and bathroom on the ground floor overlooking a patio.
Everyone from managers to carers and cleaners are very kind.
Some staff are local and others are
from other countries.
There is a wonderful chef, I am putting on weight.
I will recommend Sunrise to everyone.

I have only been resident for 2 weeks but am so happy here and am making lots of nice friends. Also, the staff work very hard and do all they can to make you feel at home right from the very beginning, including all knowing your name and greeting you on sight from day 1. The food is excellent as is
the accommodation and the hygiene and there is more than enough to occupy one with a great range of activities, including evenings and minibus trips to beautiful and interesting places 3 times a week. Besides meals, snacks and drinks, hot and cold available 24 hours daily.

I would like to say that all your staff have been so supportive of our situation, with moving Dad into the home with Mum for the end of his life and have done everything to help us in our hour of need and made us feel at ease with Dad dying. We thank them all very much for all the support.
Mum still
lives at the home with everything she needs and the help.
Thanks everyone.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.865)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.865) out of 10 for Southbourne Beach 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 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.865 for Southbourne Beach Care Home - Avery Collection is calculated as follows: ( (389 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 437 Ratings = 4.865

  • 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 Southbourne Beach Care Home - Avery Collection is based on 36 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 36 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.

Morgyn

Morgyn Ross

Job Title: General Manager

Joined: 2023

I have worked in the care sector for over 12 years now, joining Southbourne Beach in 2023. My journey in care began as a care assistant, this was a role I truly loved and quickly realised that the care sector was where I was meant to be. My passion for delivering high-quality care developed from my personal experiences of caring for family members and continues to grow, surrounded by compassionate and selfless colleagues. I have been fortunate enough to achieve further training and qualifications, allowing me to progress into managerial positions.


I have lived in the Dorset area for most of my life and I love being part of my local community with our residents and staff. I am incredibly proud to lead a special team at Southbourne Beach, where the needs of our residents are always the number one priority. Outside of my work, I enjoy regular exercise, travelling, sports and always seeking new experiences.


Santa

Santa Bukovska

Job Title: Client Liaison Manager

Joined: 2010

I have been part of this family since 2010. Caring is one of my passions in life and having a care background is a great addition to my role as it involves supporting all new prospective residents and their families through sometimes difficult, stressful and emotional decisions. My role is supported by a dedicated team who are passionate about delivering exceptional person-centred care. Nothing is more rewarding than making a positive contribution to the daily lives of each and every one of our residents.


Jackie

Jackie Hymus

Job Title: Business Office Coordinator

I joined towards the end of 2020 and really enjoy my role here – it is very diversified and no two days are the same. Prior to joining I worked as a Senior Administrator in another nursing home and have a long history of PA and administration work. I really enjoy meeting the residents and their families and getting to know everyone.


On a personal note, I have lived in Christchurch for the past 20 years and continue to do so with my husband and two children. We love walking along the beach and visiting the local cafes for coffee and a naughty treat.


Ami

Ami Merisan

Job Title: Dementia Care Manager

I have worked in dementia care for 16 years now, it has always been my passion, and I find it very rewarding.


As Dementia Care Manager it is my aim to ensure those living with dementia can live as independently as possible and experience high standards of daily living. I have a great team working alongside me to ensure that we achieve positive changes and continue improving our care delivery.


Adam

Adam Sitarz

Job Title: Dining Services Coordinator

I started working here as a Catering Assistant in 2007. Since then I have taken on new tasks and responsibilities which lead to being promoted to the current position of Dining Services Coordinator. I am responsible for all aspects of delivering nutritionally balanced meals, including special diets and dietary needs. It is very rewarding to see residents having a great dining experience, from the meal they have to the service they receive in a restaurant-style dining room. It motivates me and my fantastic team to provide the best possible service for them every day.


Kirsty

Kirsty Ellis

Job Title: Lead Concierge

Having studied and worked in performing arts for 15 years in London, I also gained experience in the hospitality industry organising events in Mayfair before moving to Bournemouth to work in sales and team management. For 3 years I worked in domiciliary optical care travelling around care homes on the south coast. This taught me a better understanding in dementia and vulnerable people. I joined the Concierge team in 2013 and worked my way up to lead concierge.


I love my job, the staff and all the characters we here (including the pets). I now look after a team of 7 concierges at Southbourne. Never a dull moment, we are the eyes, ears and heart of the community. The relationships I build with the residents and families are so special and I value listening and trying to solve any request or concerns they may have.
