Review from Jane H (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad now having been in the Whitehouse, Wrexham for 10 months. In all this time, the quality of his care continues to be exceptional. All I can do is to add to my comments of last June, which are still absolutely relevant. The entire staff do their very, very best for him. Any concerns I may have
for my almost 101 year old Dad, I feel comfortable communicating to the staff who never fail to act upon them. They are equally up front and honest with me regarding every aspect of Dad's care.
I am always made to feel welcome and part of the Whitehouse family and I am able to enjoy some of the many fun activities that are organised for the residents and their loved ones.
The Whitehouse is Dad's home, a place of well-being, safety and familiarity where Dad trusts the team around him. Knowing that Dad is so well cared for by such brilliant professionals gives me enormous peace of mind.

We met with the manager at mums home when it was decided that mum needed immediate respite care due to loss of mobility due to meds change. This was organised quickly. The staff where very welcoming and put us at our ease. Mum was very happy with the level of care she received from all the care staff,
and soon started to feel better. I would definitely recommend The Whitehouse and hope and hope that if needed again they have availability.

The manager and staff are absolutely amazing. The care, help and support my dad has been given here has been outstanding. Dad was seen straight away by all the appropriate professionals. I was kept up to date daily on his daily routine's and health needs. Everyone is so friendly, helpful and professional,
I highly recommend the Whitehouse to anyone who is looking for a nursing home. Even though Dad was only there for 2 weeks respite, he was fully involved in all the Christmas activities - the fayre, pantomime, carol service etc.
Thank you all once again for giving my dad the TLC he needed.
Reply from Debbie Davies, Manager at WhitehouseThank you so much for the positive review. Your dad was amazing, it was a pleasure.

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional care my grandmother receives at The Whitehouse. The staff are not only professional and attentive but also genuinely friendly, compassionate and kind. They go above and beyond to ensure that she feels comfortable and respected. The facilities are always clean
and well-maintained, creating a pleasant and safe environment. The activities and social events are very good. Overall, The Whitehouse has given me peace of mind, knowing that my grandmother is in such good hands. I highly recommend this care home to anyone looking for a place where their loved ones will be treated with the utmost dignity, respect and care.

The home is well-run with good staff and management. My father is well looked after. If he requires a doctor, they will get a doctor straight away and always let the family know what's going on with him. Residents have plenty of activities to keep them occupied.

I visited numerous care homes in November 2023 to find a suitable home for my mum. As soon as I entered The Whitehouse I knew it was where I wanted her to be. The care from the staff is excellent. It really is a very special place. There is a homely atmosphere as soon as you enter, and the residents
are stimulated and cared for and are extremely well looked after.

Whitehouse Care Home has such a lovely family feel to it. The manager, deputy manager and all the staff take very good care of my father-in-law. Nothing is too much trouble and they hold regular activities, including days out for the residents. It’s peace of mind to know that they are only a phone call
away and regularly keep us updated. They are professional whilst empathetic and caring towards all residents and their families.

Residents all look happy and are encouraged to be themselves and be as independent as possible.
Plenty going on and just a generally nice feel to the home. Unlike some, it is a 'home'.

My sister received excellent care in the home. The staff went above and beyond all our expectations. They also looked after us as a family and no requests we made were too much trouble. Social activities played a big part and everyone was encouraged to take part if they could. The food was excellent
and nutritious. The home was always kept clean and tidy.

Mum is so well looked after in the Whitehouse...During her working life, she was a Domestic Superintendent at a top-rated hospital, she still has all her faculties and praises the staff frequently for their care and standards. From my point of view, I think the staff go the extra mile, engaging with
residents, entertaining them, and looking after them. The premises are always clean bright and welcoming, and the food looks and smells delicious. Having recently been poorly myself and unable to visit as often it is a huge relief to know Mum is being so well looked after and is so happy.

I have visited this establishment for many years as a Paramedic.
The staff are super friendly, and caring and most of all show a great deal of empathy and support for their residents.
It is spotlessly clean. The residents' rooms are warm and have lots of their own personal items.
The food has always
been of an impressive standard and of course, they make a cracking cup of tea!
The manager has been there for years and both she and her staff treat the residents as part of their own family!

Mum moved into The Whitehouse at the end of October after being diagnosed with mixed Dementia. I must admit I was nervous about how she would adapt as she had lived in her own home for over 50 years and was always fiercely independent. I needn't worry! She settled in amazingly quickly, something I attribute
to the kind and caring staff and the general homely and welcoming atmosphere that you feel as soon as you walk through the door.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.535)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.535) out of 10 for Whitehouse is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.885 for Whitehouse is calculated as follows: ( (85 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.885
  2. 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 4.65 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Whitehouse is based on 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.65
    2. 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 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4, which has been reached with 8 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
