A care home in Surrey, Sunrise of Purley, has been awarded Platinum status with excellence for end of life care, following their re-accreditation.

The award recognises the sustained practice to maintain the Gold Standard Framework throughout the home.

With the home winning the award, it now determines the homes efforts are worthy of joining a growing community of care homes who continue to demonstrate excellence in care.

Jacqueline Ritchie, general manager of Sunrise of Purley, said: “We are honoured. Sunrise of Purley will be the last residence for those who come here to receive this care and all our team members take this privilege incredibly seriously, creating the best possible memories for residents and their families.”

The service has also been shortlisted for the Gold Standard Framework Care Home of the Year 2018. The award also showcased the significant developments Sunrise Purley has made to its care since its previous assessment.

Sunrise of Purley was rated ‘good’ by the Care Quality Commission in May
