I have always been very satisfied with the care which my Mum receives. I always find the staff helpful and approachable and if I do have any issues I wish to discuss there is always someone available to speak to. My Mum has issues with refusing food and drink and I find everyone always does their best
to encourage her as much as they can.

I spent a very pleasant few hours in the newly furnished lounge to celebrate the opening of the area. Excellent entertainment enjoyed by the residents and visitors together with a light buffet and drinks.

My mum came into White Gables after being discharged from hospital. She had vascular dementia and Alzheimers so wasn't able to do much but the staff here were wonderful with her and treated her with respect and care. She was only here 6 days before she passed away but they made her very comfortable
and were very caring.


The home is very clean and doesn't have the smell that some homes have.

My experience of White Gables Care Home in the past 6 months since my wife became a resident, is that adequate staff are available and experienced to deal with the many different requirements of residents with respect and dignity. I have not had occasion to make any complaint but only request to enquire
about my wife's condition and ongoing care has been met satisfactorily.

During the month of June, Dad had a fall and unfortunately had to go to A&E due to having banged his head. Although he was lucky enough to be back in the care home by lunch time, it made us realise even more how grateful we are to all the staff for looking after him so well.

Our mum was privileged to be with you only a few weeks before she died. We were very impressed with your home. The professionalism of all the staff, how smart they looked, how friendly they were. How accommodating to our needs. We wished we had known about you much earlier.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My dad had been in three care homes before finding White Gables. He was treated really badly in the past and it was extremely important that I found a caring care home for him. I asked around and got varying reviews but I have to say that White Gables was excellent. The decor is not fancy but the staff
were cheerful and very caring and kind. Sometimes things did go wrong but, in my opinion, it's the way things were handled and sorted out that mattered and White Gables were helpful and did their best. My dad sadly passed away but I feel his end of life care was excellent and compassionate. I would, and have, recommended White Gables as an excellent care home.


Thank you.

All the staff from the management side, nurses, carers, catering and cleaning are all very kind and caring. Nothing is too much trouble. I am confident that my Mum could not get any better care than she is getting in what at times must be very difficult circumstances. I feel very lucky that my Mum is
in White Gables Care Home.

Dad had been in White Gables Care Home for 18 months ago and his care has been superb. He is happy, settled and well looked after. As his close family, we appreciate being kept up to date with his health and care plan. Inclusion in all decisions regarding his care is always welcome. Thank you from all
the family.

Mum's overall condition has improved so much since we moved her to Skellingthorpe. The care is so well suited to dementia sufferers and we have found staff kind and attentive to the family as well as residents. Mum's personal hygiene has improved dramatically and White Gables is very clean and uplifting.
There are lots of things going on to help prevent boredom and depression. Rooms are very pleasant and outside areas.

Day Care: Excellent care for residents and also most of the staff are caring of families of the residents and are made very welcome.
Night Care: Satisfactory could do with more than sitting in front of the T.V.
Laundry Service needs to improve (maybe night staff could help with ironing).
Domestic
Service: Excellent home, is always very clean and smells fresh and looks clean and homely.
Activities could do with a little more action for residents.

We were invited to join them for a tea party in celebration of the Queen's birthday. It was lovely, residents and staff having a lovely tome, singing, clapping and eating cake, especially seeing my nana having a great time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.847)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.847) out of 10 for White Gables Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 7 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 4.511 for White Gables Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (63 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 88 Ratings = 4.511

  • 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 4.336 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for White Gables Care Home is based on 7 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 + 0.1 = 3.7

    • 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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 11 = 0.636

  • 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.
