Sunburst House

Sunburst House is a home care agency based in Bournemouth, in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 6 miles of its Bournemouth office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people and people living with dementia. It is run by Obasan Services. The agency has been registered since January 2018.

At its latest inspection, published March 2021, the CQC rated Sunburst House Good, which means the CQC found the service performing well and meeting its expectations. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.

Sunburst House has not published its rates and has not yet told us what they are. Home care agencies in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole with a rate on record typically charge about £32.25 an hour and £1,398 a week for live-in care, so expect a figure in that range and ask for a written price list that shows weekend and bank holiday rates.
