Jacqueline Ritchie, general manager of Sunrise of Purley, said: “We are so honoured to be awarded for our end of life care.

“Receiving a Platinum with Excellence status really is an acknowledgement of our dedicated and motivated team. Putting our heart and soul into our care is paramount to what we do at Sunrise and we are thrilled that the GSF have recognised this in both our re-accreditation and shortlisting for Care Home of the Year.”

The award recognises the sustained practice to maintain GSF throughout the home and determined that Sunrise of Purley’s efforts were worthy of joining a growing community of care homes who continue to demonstrate excellence in care. The award also recognised the significant developments that Sunrise has made to its care since its last assessment.
