I have been visiting WH weekly since 2024. I have witnessed a great deal of care towards the residents , outstanding staff, clean and friendly. The activities are targeted to the residence needs and taste. The gardens are beautiful and well maintained. The manager is very professional and attentive

My perspective as relative of a resident. My brother has recently moved into Wilhemina House. My experience has been very positive. The management staff were extremely helpful in the transition from his previous home. The staff are friendly and courteous at all times. My brother is still adjusting to
the new environment and changes in routine make him anxious.

Very busy month for the residents, with all the Christmas activities such as Christmas carols, coffee mornings, all the entertainers coming into the home during all of December to cheer the residents and preparing them for Christmas. The residents all had presents and a lovely Christms dinner.

My relative was here 2 yrs & staff always caring, friendly, compassionate and professional (that included cleaning, catering, maintenance, & admin as well as the manager & care staff ). Staff turnover was low, allowing residents to see the same staff every day. Staff knew regular visitors by name
too. Staff made time to chat with the residents they cared for, & my relative enjoyed taking an interest in them & their families. Staff were running activities most weekdays when I visited, so it was not just the TV left on all day. They would also take phone calls for my relative & give the phone to her so she could still speak on the phonewhen she was too unwell to manage her own phone. She was happy & well cared for. At her end of life, she had to be nursed in bed, but it was a comfort to know she could remain in the same home. Staff liaised with GP, district nurses & local hospice to support her in that. I have visited a few care homes in my time, but this was one of the good ones

Great experience. Mum is well cared for and treated well. Staff are excellent, friendly, caring and helpful. A slight frustration with the recent lift situation, but rectified now (difficult for mum's mobility to be restored after a prolonged time on the corridor/in her room only). However, apart from
this excellent.

My father was a resident at Wilhelmina House from February 2024 to May 2025. He sadly passed away in June 2025 . But in the short time he was there he was very happy there. He particularly enjoyed the friendliness of the staff.

Always a friendly welcome. The whole house is comfortable and has plenty of space to allow you to meet and chat with other residents/families or find a quiet corner. Rooms are bright and comfortable and kept very clean.
Staff are always attentive and helpful and we have no worries about the care provided.

My grandma has been a resident since Oct 24. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a particularly lovely member of staff, we knew this was home for her. We love the place, staff, and ambience and have made this our 'family home' too.

Very welcoming staff at all times. The staff have gone over and above to make my mother very comfortable. She has a particular fondness for one staff member, the first person to greet her and make her welcome. My mother has settled in and with the improvement of the weather, she loves to sit in the
beautiful garden.
Reply from Sarah Ward, Administrator at Wilhelmina HouseThank you for your lovely review. We are glad that your mum has settled in so well and at our residents meeting last week she commented that she is very happy here.

Our dad moved in to Whitgift House for end-of-life care. Before he became terminally ill his plan was to see his days at the Whitgift. After visiting 12 others homes, as soon as we walked into Whitgift we got "that feeling". Every single staff member from the receptionist to nurses was so helpful and
friendly. The main thing is you can tell they really care about their residents and that is what was most important to us. Dad loved it when he visited, he was so excited to enjoy the grounds, the school sports and take part in activities. He liked how modern and clean the home was. Although our dad did not get to enjoy these things he was treated with respect, love and expectational care. We cannot recommend Whitgift enough and although it was sad to lose our father the amazing care he received made it all that much easier as a family. Thank you to everyone at Whitgift, the receptionists, housekeepers, nursing assistants and nurses for making the last few days with our dad so special.
