    Review

    Sunshine Care Home in Torrance has received overall positive reviews from residents and their family members. One individual commends the cleanliness of the facility and expresses appreciation for the excellent care provided by the staff. The friendly and attentive caregivers ensure that all patients are clean, well-fed, and happy. The home also excels in communication with family members, sending regular videos and photos to keep them informed and connected. The quality of meals is also highlighted as a positive aspect of the care home.

    Another review emphasizes the perfect location of Sunshine Care Home along with effective communication with the staff. The constant updates through email, including pictures and dancing sessions, contribute to a positive experience for both residents and their families. The delicious meals served at the facility are also mentioned as a source of satisfaction. This reviewer highly recommends Sunshine Care Home based on their positive interactions and high level of service.

    One aspect that sets Sunshine Care Home apart for another reviewer is that it is run by a nurse manager who is proactive in identifying potential issues before they worsen. This sets them apart from other residences where nurses may not be present to provide such oversight. Additionally, having its own management team contributes to an efficient operation at this care home. Another positive point raised by this reviewer is the presence of other women for their mother to interact with, fostering social connections.

    However, one family had a less than satisfactory experience at Sunshine Care Home due to feeling misled during initial discussions with the owners. Expectations were set but later changed just before moving in, leading to disappointment. Medication management was cited as an issue, which required changing doctors' orders frequently due to state regulations limiting the facility's ability to administer medications independently.

    Furthermore, concerns were raised about changes being made to their loved one's medication without proper consultation or involving their primary doctor. Their loved one felt trapped in her bed due to unnecessary bedrails being installed, preventing her from walking freely as she enjoyed doing. The caregiver is described as friendly but lacking sensitivity and in need of training in that area.

    Lastly, this dissatisfied family notes several restrictive rules at the facility, such as needing to provide advance notice of visits and not being allowed to visit during mealtimes. Overall, their experience at Sunshine Care Home fell short of expectations and left them with a negative impression.
