Sunnymede

Sunnymede provides personal care without nursing for up to 34 older people, with 22 residents at the time of inspection. Most residents have dementia and limited verbal communication. The home recently began accepting respite beds from the local authority for people recovering from hospital stays.

The service operates across three floors of a converted Victorian building with bedrooms on each level. Ground floor communal areas include a living room, dining room, and quiet lounge, which was converted to a visitor's room during the COVID-19 pandemic. At inspection, the home's staff team had not completed safe recruitment procedures, raising concerns about hiring practices and resident safety protocols.
