My mum came to Summerly Care Home in August 2022. It took a little bit of time for her to settle in, but what made it so easy was very simple, all the staff are totally amazing. I know my mum absolutely adores them. What is so great is the place, really feels like home for her, All the Staff are so friendly and informative every time we visit. It's such good peace of mind that Mum is so happy and cared for.

This is an additional review on my mum's care she is receiving at Summerley. Over Christmas unfortunately mum became ill and required several visits from paramedics and a trip to hospital. On all occasions the staff dealt with the initial crisis superbly well making sure she was as safe as possible while awaiting professional medical attention. On both occasions the staff were fully committed to providing a dignified and comfortable environment for mum. They informed me immediately as they could and updated as appropriate. Every time the staff remained with her reassuring and comforting her even when mum was very distressed. This dedication has continued over the last month, seeing the management contacting the local surgery and having tests done to ensure the best care for her. Mum remains unwell at this time however I have absolute confidence in the staff at Summerley to care and love mum to the best of their abilities.

My father has been in Summerley for over two years. The empathy and care the staff give him is excellent. They also keep me informed if there are any problems and are always there for an update and cuppa when I visit.

Mum sadly passed away very recently but she had been a resident at Summerley for three and a half years. The care she received from the very beginning was excellent and I cannot praise the staff highly enough, particularly during the last few very difficult days when Mum was on end-of-life care. The staff were so kind and compassionate, not only to Mum but me and my sister, and kept us informed at all times. We were always made to feel welcome and any questions or concerns were always addressed. Every resident was treated as an individual, as was highlighted at Christmas and birthdays when presents were chosen to reflect Mum's tastes. I cannot praise the staff highly enough and would have no hesitation in recommending Summerley to anyone considering this care home. Cleanliness, meal choices and the caring compassionate staff are superb.

My dad was in the home for 16 months and had Alzheimer's. The staff at Summerley are so welcoming and genuinely incredibly caring. We visited regularly and were always welcomed, kept updated and made to feel part of the home. My dad has sadly passed away but all the staff were so supportive as he was slipping away and they tried to make him comfortable whilst also comforting us. No words can really express our gratitude to all the staff at Summerley for their care of my dad.

My mother-in-law arrived at Summerley Care Home in May 2024 from a London hospital in a distressed and frail state. Immediately the staff made her feel welcome and at home and took great care of her ensuring all her medication was reviewed with a GP. During the four months that my mother-in-law was there she was well looked after, dietary requirements well catered for and she settled in well. All members of staff from managers to senior carers, carers, night carers and assistants are hardworking to ensure that each resident's needs are met. They treat residents with respect and kindness. During my mother-in-law's end-of-life and palliative care all members of staff went out of their way to show compassion, exceptional care and kindness not just to my mother-in-law but to us as a family. We were always welcome whatever time of day or night.

My partner was discharged from hospital to Summerley Care Home. He was in poor physical and mental condition after 7 weeks in hospital. He has been well cared for and is much happier and healthier now than when he arrived. The staff from the most junior to the managers are all friendly, kind, helpful, cheerful and efficient. As his partner, I have felt welcome. The phone is answered promptly. Problems are solved effectively and I have always felt that my partner was safe and cared for. Summerley Care Home is small and friendly.

Just about used to having a loved one in this care home, really couldn't have picked a better one. It's close to home situated in a lovely area close to the sea and above all it gives a home-from-home feeling. All the staff and management are giving exceptional care and the food is good. Couldn't be more pleased.

It has been wonderful. The staff could not have been kinder to my husband and myself. All very clean and beautiful food. The activities are all very good seen by myself. My mental health team would like him to come here once every two months. I will ask if this is possible. They need to check that windows in bedroom are closed when the sun goes down, we are only in March.

I'm visiting my mother-in-law for a while, and have been very impressed by what I've seen so far. The rooms are clean and fresh. The staff are like a family and do their utmost best for all residents whatever their disabilities. I've never seen my mother-in-law look so good!

My mother left her current nursing home in Horsham, to live near me in Bognor. On arrival, my mum was scared and crying and demanding to go home. A little deputy manager greeted us at the door, and immediately took my mother's hand and guided her through the lounge and into a very beautiful clean bedroom. The deputy was so kind to her and she made her feel so welcome and loved, plus we all had a well-deserved cuppa. 2 days later, I visited my mother again expecting some kind of a verbal rant, but nothing. She was sitting in a chair just looking around and taking it all in. I looked at how clean and tidy she had become. For a brief pause at that moment, my mum had returned to me, that usual look and polished clothes. Then Mum looked up and showed a cheery wave. Phew she was ok! To me, this home is like a home-from-home environment. The staff always make me laugh, and every one of them is always willing to help offer support when needed.

My Dad has been at Summerly since June and this turn of events has been very hard for us as a family. However, from the manager coming to talk to us to prepare us for my Dad's everyday care at Summerly, once admitted, I am impressed. Dad has Alzheimer's and is not overly aware of the change, but we are. The staff (special mention to three ladies in particular) are so kind. It is hard to see Dad in a care home but I'm glad he is in this one. He has a nice room and he likes the food. They do activities and have musicians and a pet zoo come in. I'm glad my Dad has settled here.

My husband was admitted to Summerley very quickly and efficiently in June with Alzheimer’s and mobility problems. Every effort was made to find the most suitable room for him, and before he went into the room it was thoroughly cleaned and photos of family and pictures of his football idle were put around. Management and staff were very efficient and kind not only to my husband but to myself too realising how hard it was for me. Any problems or concerns were dealt with quickly, and a note on his door tells the staff of his requirements for his comfort each day. We are kept informed of any issues and problems relating to his personal needs.

It was a difficult decision for us as a family to admit Mum to a care home. Sadly due to Dad's failing health, he could no longer manage all of Mum's care needs. Summerley was the second home we viewed, and as soon as my sister and I looked around, it just felt "right". Mum was admitted a few days later, and I can honestly say it's as if she has a new lease of life. She is so much brighter and shows more interest in life than she has done for some time. The staff are unfailingly kind, caring, compassionate and alert to Mum's needs. We, as a family, visit regularly and are always welcomed and kept up to date with Mum's care. The atmosphere in Summerley is warm and friendly, and we couldn't ask for a better home for Mum.

Mum was booked into Summerley care home for a two-week respite. Bearing in mind, that this is all new to her and our family, the carers could not have been more helpful, answering questions as required and offering advice on visiting etc. She is due home this week, and rather than arranging a taxi, the manager has offered to take her home himself to ensure that she gets back safely. You cannot ask for more than that. Thank you to all at Summerley house.

Mum has been cared for excellently at Summerly care home. It really is like a family, and I cannot fault their care and commitment. Everyone is interested in her and her family, and her needs are put at the top of every list. Even when Mum was in hospital recently, the staff contacted me to ask how she was. Thoroughly recommended.
27 February 2023
The staff are all pleasant and caring and the food looks good. Activities are improving but need them daily to stimulate residents. They are all much more lively after any session. My son is happy, and I am happy.

The care home is always clean and tidy on entry, well lit and gives the impression of being a happy environment. You are always greeted by a happy and cheerful member of staff, and if required, the manager is available to answer any questions which may arise. My wife is always well dressed, and her clothes are always happy. There are various activities organised, which is good, as it gives her something to look forward to.
17 February 2023
Everyone is caring and friendly. Mum is treated as an individual and the staff are sympathetic to her needs and very kind. We visit regularly and are always informed of any ailments or 'off days'. We are confident Mum's needs are met and activities are varied and appreciated.
