A very well-run home. My mother was very ill when she went in but recovered (not expected) and was able to go home. Amazing staff, clean and secure. A big thank you to all staff!

Reply from Helen Brett, Interim Manager at White House Care Home

Thank you so much for sharing your experience Sheila, we are very fortunate to have a very kind and dedicated team who took great pride in caring for your loved one ensuring that they are supported and treated with dignity and respect. We hope she continues to do well at home!

Father was here for three weeks respite due to a fall. He received all the care and help enabling him to return home after. The care he was given was superb and can't thank them enough! All the staff are lovely and dedicated to giving each person the respect and help they need, including family members.

We took advantage of the respite package for Mum here to facilitate an adhoc holiday. We were very nervous about leaving her, but the home manager reassured us and the carers were affectionate, fun and efficient. Also one staff member in particular whose chat calmed Mum right down. The bedrooms with
bathrooms and all the public rooms are of top-class hotel standard. The food is something else, (amazing chef) top restaurant quality with a good choice and you can ask to have lunch with your loved one in a white tablecloth restaurant setting, a real treat. The whole atmosphere is to provide what the resident wishes with attractive sitting areas and activities. The qualified nurse is caring and attentive and calmed Mum right down with her lovely smile. She is an asset. Recommend for anyone considering respite.

When we first went to the home to see if it was suitable for Mum we were impressed with not only the facilities but the staff, they are caring and kind to both residents and visitors.
Mum found the change difficult when she went into the home but the staff helped her cope and she has now settled well.
We know this home was the right choice for Mum and would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone looking for a care home.
We cannot thank the staff enough for all they have done for both Mum and us.

When I met the manager, I felt that this was the right place for Mum. Although the environment was lovely, it was the ethos that was most important, and she was knowledgeable and reassuring about the care they offered. My mum was only with us for two weeks before sadly passing away, however, the care
that she received, as well as the care we as a family received, was outstanding. During the two weeks I was at the home every day all day and during that time I was able to observe first-hand the way in which the staff cared for the residents. Even in challenging situations, there was a sense of calm and patience. Special thanks to the staff member who always made sure I had what I needed and the carer who gave Mum her last shower and washed her hair, when she was so weak, and the staff who listened when I needed an offload. I can't thank all of the team, from the management down to the lovely cleaners enough. You made a very difficult situation easier. Thank you.

There appears to be nothing the staff will not do, always responding in a positive and happy manner.
The home feels fresh and airy and is always clean and tidy.
It is always a difficult decision where to place a loved one but when they say they are “in the best place and well looked after” it is
very reassuring. Whilst it would be wonderful to believe all homes offer the same standard of care, news reports prove this isn’t the case. We consider ourselves very fortunate.

My grandmother is staying at White House Care Home, she has been there for a year now. My grandad was there before he died in May last year. I don't live locally so it's good to know how well looked after she is and when I go to visit her everyone is so welcoming to me. My mum and aunty visit a lot
but the staff know me too. They always seem to be caring and kind both to my grandmother and also to my mum and dad as well.

The White House has been extremely welcoming and caring from day 1. My grandad moved in 10 months ago and, from the first time we walked in, to this day the standards haven’t slipped. Everything is clean, fresh and well-presented – there are thoughtful touches everywhere that make the home a proper
‘home’ rather than just a care facility. None of this is as important as the staff who are all wonderful. Not just the carers and nurses but the whole team – reception, cleaning, management, the activities coordinator. we are so impressed with everyone. Whilst going into a care home was not my grandad’s first choice, the White House has turned out to be the best choice. He is the most like his old self that we have seen in a long time post-stroke, and being part of this friendly and supportive community has no doubt helped that.

The ambience at White House is amazing and my mother is made to feel important! The staff are friendly and considerate treating my mother with kindness and dignity. They greet her by name and with a smile. My mother has been able to settle in gradually despite saying she never wanted to go into care!
The facilities are modern and comfortable yet classy with the White House having been tastefully and practically decorated. The comprehensive activities schedule provides mental, physical and social stimulation for my mother. As family members, we also have been made to welcome by all the staff and our input/suggestions on our mother's care have been heard and followed through.

Thank you for your positive and very uplifting comments. I am really glad that your mum and family are happy with the care and support that she received from us.

We moved our 91-year-old mother into the White House recently after she had a fall whilst staying at relations' in Bournemouth. After a hospital stay and respite, she did not get the chance to go home so it was a difficult situation. The home is immaculate and the staff are so patient and friendly.
Everyone says 'hello' whenever they see us and our mother. They had a cake and reception for her birthday. We attended a relation's reception where the team discussed the plans for the year and were very open.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.908)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.908) out of 10 for White House 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 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.908 for White House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (424 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 465 Ratings = 4.908

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for White House Care Home is based on 40 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 40 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.
