Being in Whitehaven is like being in your own home, with caring help. The rooms are clean, warm and inviting. The staff are friendly and caring, sitting and talking to the residents. Food can be changed to personal taste. Fluid intake is encouraged, personal hygiene is high.
Management is present and
approachable. There is almost daily activity to engage and stimulate. I can only highly recommend the home.

From Day 1, Whitehaven wrapped my mother in a warm blanket of care. After investigating 11 facilities, I was relieved to discover that we had finally found the home she needed. I never once regretted our decision.


My mother’s combination of Alzheimer’s/Dementia plus other health problems and physical

limitations posed a major challenge. She needed professionals with a particular set of skills, professionalism, patience and understanding. Also, I live thousands of miles overseas. So regular, reliable communication with people we could trust was vital. Whitehaven met all these challenges and more.


From June 2008 to September 2012, my mother thrived at Whitehaven, with its family atmosphere and culture of respect for individuals. I saw her happier there than she had been in years. She genuinely regarded it as Home, sometimes, when there were a lot of visitors, wondering aloud what all these people were doing in “her” house.


Whenever I arrived, sometimes unannounced, everything was spotless and fresh, bathrooms immaculate, and my mother always clean and nicely dressed. She enjoyed the food, seeming to have a better appetite than before. The atmosphere was upbeat and positive, with plenty of activities and celebrations to keep residents engaged.


I was emailed frequent updates on my mother’s situation, including photos of her not just on special occasions like birthdays and holidays, but simply showing her happy and contented. Staff maintained regular contact with her GP and other medical professionals involved in her care. The manager immediately alerted me to any problem by phone/email, and followed up with the action taken and resolution. I never felt out of touch but always part of a team working together for her.


I will always be grateful for the care the people of Whitehaven gave my mother that kept her healthy, safe and content.

A warm welcome at first meeting with the manager. The home is compact, clean and homely and mums room overlooking the garden is lovely. We always found the staff friendly, caring, available and coping admirably with the differing needs and demands of the residents. Activities are always taking place
to stimulate residents, regular drinks and biscuits offered to all (and guests!) We are so pleased to have chosen Whitehaven for our mum. She passed away peacefully on Saturday 30th January and was well looked after by the managers team. Thanks

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.517)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.517) out of 10 for Whitehaven Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.917 for Whitehaven Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (66 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.917

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.6 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Whitehaven Care Home is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 = 3.6

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 15 registered maximum number of service users is 3, which has been reached with 6 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
