Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My brother in law and sister were both in White Rose at the same time. The staff were attentive and caring and their patience was outstanding. They gave comfort and care to my relatives and were understanding and informative to all family members as we tried to support my relatives.


I am not just

talking about the care staff who were skilled and understanding but the housekeeping staff, the kitchen staff and the finance office gave us exactly the help that we needed. A number of the carers were highly qualified in their country of origin with qualifications that were not yet recognised in UK. We had all the benefits of their knowledge and experience.


The family are greatly appreciative of your support at this most difficult time for us.

Very happy with the carehome. Very difficult decision when placing your loved one into a home, but it is reassuring when you walk in and our relative looks content & well cared for. The home is very clean. Good home cooked food but most important the staff are very attentive from the cleaners/laundry
staff carers up to the Manager. Everyone is always willing to help. They interact with residents & family & are always reassuring & put a smile on their faces. I would recommend White Rose as a safe happy home.

The home provides the service we needed in order to ensure Mum is safe and well looked after.
All the staff are attentive (as you would expect) and have developed a trusting relationship with Mum, which she clearly enjoys.
Always exceptionally clean and fresh environment, recent decorative enhancements
have helped by adding colourful visual stimulation, a benefit for helping with dementia issues.
Reply from Willow Fowler, Support Team Member at White Rose HouseWe are happy to hear that your mother is feeling healthy and happy in our care. It means the world to the team to know that they are making a difference to our residents. We are privileged to be trusted with the care of your loved one, and your kind words are very appreciated.

Day staff are friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. If the review was based only on the day team it would be a 5 star review. Always very accommodating to visitors. Some members of the night team are less accommodating which is a shame. Overall this home is very good and I would recommend
Reply from Willow Fowler, Copywriter at White Rose HouseThank you for a lovely review! We're over the moon that your friend is happy in our care. Our staff will always welcome visitors with the same care as our residents, so we're glad you have experienced this first-hand! We regret to hear that you have found some of our night staff to be less accommodating. We will investigate this immediately.

My friend is very happy and content in this home. All carers we talked to are cheerful and polite. The house is very clean,but doesn't smell of chemicals.
Ideal for people who can still walk as they can even go pass each other with a Zimmer frame.
Reply from Willow Fowler, Support Team Member at White Rose HouseThank you for such a wonderful review. We are so happy that your friend is happy in our care. Our team always strives to accommodate visitors with the same care as our residents, so we're so glad you've had a positive visiting experience. Your kind words are very appreciated.

We spoke to the manager and explained how desperate were to move our beautiful mum from 1 care home to the White Rose. Her basic needs were not been met, mumbled Alzheimer's and manager listened to us, went to asses mum and within 2 days mum had a room near the nursing desk with a beautiful, comfy bed.
All staff were friendly and would welcome us all into spend time with mum. Mum was treated with dignity and respect. They supported us all through mum's last journey in life. Everyone had the skills and understanding of dementia. We cant thank you enough.

My aunt has advanced Alzheimer's and unfortunately doesn't know me really any more. She moved from a care home in Lepton when it closed over a year ago and I am very pleased with her care. The home is clean and well-presented, the staff are caring, helpful and friendly. Although she cannot participate
in much, she enjoys some of the activities and apparently 'Elvis' is a great hit with her! Thank you for her continuing care.

I highly recommend White Rose Care Home for end-of-life care. Absolutely fantastic. My dad was admitted for end-of-life care in December 2023 and died in February 2024.
The care he received was outstanding. All staff members are friendly, caring and professional, nothing was too much for them. They
not only looked after my dad but also supported all the family and this support has continued since Dad died as they now invite my mum to social events they hold. I can't thank them enough for the care and support we all received.

My friend has recently become a resident at White Rose House after a short spell in hospital. I cannot fault the care she is receiving there. Under the management, the staff are wonderful. I have seen nothing but kindness and politeness. The food is also of good quality and plentiful. Beautifully
cooked.
At the moment my friend's stay is temporary but after a spell at home if she was unable to cope I would certainly recommend she went there again.
Thank you to everyone at White Rose House.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After suffering a COPD/suspected heart failure downturn at home at the end of October I spent twelve days at hospital after which time I elected to come to White Rose House for respite rather than return to my own home (alone) with carers calling four times per day... I have now been here for four weeks
and am so pleased I made that decision! I have a calm and very pleasant room with an ensuite and a bright outlook onto the courtyard garden and hills beyond. The staff are all so helpful, friendly, reassuring and are there for everyone here they really are remarkable. I have no doubt, however long I stay, I will have benefitted greatly from the care and encouragement I have received and am sure the long term residents here would feel the same.

My 90-year-old, dementia suffering father went into this home, from his first day the care and support he has received has been first class. The manager and her team have been magnificent in helping Dad settle in. We have seen his mood improve, he is more engaged and is certainly happier than he was
alone at home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been at White Rose House for the past 15 months which has not been an easy time. The staff are extremely kind and have looked after her really well. Whenever I ring and ask to speak to her, the person who answers the phone, always knows where she is and how she is. They are always happy to have
a chat or pass the phone to her. The home is bright, modern and there are often activities going on and a garden for good weather. At my first official return visit on Monday, I was made so welcome it was really heartwarming and I was very pleased. It’s been such a difficult time over the last twelve months, but I am grateful to all the staff for the care afforded to my mum.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
White Rose House has kept the safety of their residents at the forefront of their minds during this extremely difficult time. However, they have recognised the need for contact with families and friends and have facilitated this, as best they can. When phoning to check how my mum is, I have never felt
a bother and have, in general, been updated with a nice anecdote. When I was allowed to visit the Home, it was always clean and well maintained. The communal areas and bedrooms are well furnished and the food looks nice. I have sampled it myself and had no complaints. The staff are friendly and the addition of the wellbeing co-ordinators has been of great benefit.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After lockdown, my 97-year-old Grandma suffered desperately with loneliness as suddenly her active social life halted. Her physical health suffered as a result and in June she was admitted to hospital. She wasn't well enough to go home so was taken to White Rose House where she spent the 1st week in
isolation. She was desperately unhappy and terrified that she'd never return home. She'd always said that she never wanted to go into a care home. Well, within a week of being out of isolation, her exact words were "I love it here". She didn't want to go home plus I was worried she'd be unable to cope. I was able to arrange for her to stay permanently at White Rose House where she was so happy. Unfortunately, I've been unable to go into her new home due to Covid-19 restrictions but was able to visit from the window and we could chat and see one another. Grandma became poorly again but from the window I witnessed incredible tenderness from her carers, they made her laugh as well. I owe them so much.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum lived at White Rose for just over two years, like most people she didn't want to leave her home but with the help of the staff she settled very quickly. I visited my mum almost every day so I did get a good feel for the workings of the home and the atmosphere created. It is very modern and clean
and well decorated. There are plenty of different rooms or sitting areas so the residents don't spend all day in the communal lounge if they don't want to. My mum spent a lot of time in her own room which was her choice but did enjoy the sing-songs around the piano or when local singers came in to entertain the residents. She had her hair done each Monday at the salon onsite. On sunny days she loved to sit out in the garden with a coffee or wine.
The staff were always kind, caring and compassionate and when my mum was on end of life care in April they took this to a new level in difficult circumstances. I would not hesitate in recommending White Rose House.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.589)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.589) out of 10 for White Rose House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 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 4.821 for White Rose House is calculated as follows: ( (117 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 140 Ratings = 4.821
  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 4.768 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for White Rose House is based on 12 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 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.8
    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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.4 = 0.968
  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.
