A fabulous care home that my mother now loves. My mom is 102, she dreaded the thought of a care home believing it would be like an old work house. But Whitefield House is welcoming and clean. The food is great. There is always something for mum to do. Top class care home.

We have found everyone at Whitefield House to be very attentive to both our Mother's and our wishes, and have facilitated all of our requirements. We know that our Mother is being cared for by people who care. We are reassured that she is safe, happy and involved with the care home activities and is
able to enjoy the company of the staff. Everything about Whitefield House has been excellent and we would be happy to suggest that anyone considering a care home for their loved one should consider Whitefield House.

We really could not be happier for my mother and for the quality of care and of the whole environment of Whitefield House. The staff are so friendly, patient and helpful - not just with the residents but also with my wife and I when we visit.
My mother arrived several months ago after a spell in hospital
after a fall, back then she had lost a lot of weight, could not walk and was incontinent. The staff brought her in, treated her with dignity and admitted her in a friendly, casual manner but taking care of all the details. The excellent care started there!
Within a couple of months she had put her weight back on, was 'mostly' continent (she was like that before!) and zipping around on her walking frame like a racing driver! The staff have even had to tell her off for getting up and heading off without one of them being there to escort her!
In short, beautiful grounds, beautiful house, fantastic care and communication with us.

My dad has lived at The Old Vicarage since October following Alzheimer's and a stroke. All staff helped him to settle immediately. This was the hardest decision I have ever had to make yet remains one of the best I have made. From the preparations to move dad in, to now, the communication and support
provided by the staff at The Old Vicarage has been second to none.
Dad is cared for, respected, and supported daily. His needs are met and I am informed of everything. There are regular activities that Dad is able to engage in, he thoroughly enjoyed his trip to the chip shop! He loves to look his best and there is a hairdresser who makes sure he has a regular trim. This is very important and is just one part of the ongoing care and commitment provided to him to ensure his well-being. I see that residents at The Old Vicarage are seen as valued members of the community, not just old people who need looking after. I highly recommend this setting. Thank you to all the staff.

Mum was at the Old Vicarage for circa 3 years and during that time the love and care provided by the staff was first rate.
Unfortunately Mum passed away this month and the love and care shown by the staff to both Mum and to us as a family could not be faulted.
Thank you to a particular member of staff
and her team for everything they did for Mum.

My mum has been a resident at Whitefield House for nearly one year.
My two brothers and I visit every week travelling over five hours.
We have been very impressed with the level of care offered. The staff are caring, professional and always supportive.
Her room is spotless and her clothes are washed
regularly - the staff do not know when we are visiting, but Mum is always dressed colour-coordinated and ready to be taken out.
There are daily activities designed to keep everyone active and mentally stimulated.
I would recommend Whitefield House unreservedly.

When my mother required 24-hour care after a bad fall and could not manage at home anymore we looked at Wentworth House as we had past experience. My mother-in-law lived there over 12 years ago for a period of 2.5 years and was very well looked after. It was nice to see some of the staff were still
working there and even remembered my mother-in-law. All areas of the house are clean and the decorating is welcoming and homely. There are plenty of activities for residents and all birthdays, including beautiful cakes, are celebrated. Public celebrations i.e. Christmas, Chinese New Year, etc. Staff participate in activities. Staff take residents who are able to outside activites. Staff are caring and encourage residents. Staff in all areas are helpful. It took our mother a while to settle, after living independently, but she will quite happily tell you this is now her home. We would recommend a visit to Whitefield House if you are looking for care for your relative, etc.

Whitefield House has been wonderful for my husband who has dementia. He has been in Whitefield House for almost 2 years and has been very happy there. All the staff and carers are brilliant and look after him well. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The house itself always looks so clean and tidy
and his bedroom is perfect whenever we visit. We cannot thank them enough - we are so grateful to them all.

Professional yet friendly, extremely caring, and have looked after Dad with dignity and respect. Nothing is too much trouble and always at hand to answer any inquiries we have had. The room was lovely if a little small however as Dad was in for respite it was fine, with lovely décor and great food for
Dad.

Regarding value for money, I have no reference point but whilst she can afford this, all is good.

My late mother spent the last few months of her life at "The Old Vic" and we couldn't have found a better place for her. It is like a small hotel, very clean and on lovely grounds. Mum had her own room and it was very well-appointed. She told me the food was very good (although she couldn't always remember
what she'd had!) and she enjoyed the activities, especially the singing, and being in the lounge chatting with the other residents. I cannot praise the staff too highly; they were all lovely and so friendly and accommodating whenever we visited and during mum's last few days they couldn't have been more caring and loving.

It is never easy choosing a care home, but I know we chose the best place for Dad and Mum. Care at their family home became difficult, and they moved into Whitefield House in December 2022 aged 98 and 96. The care and attention at Whitefield House are exceptional, the staff are amazing, and nothing
is too much trouble. Sadly my father passed away in June, and it was reassuring that Mum was so well looked after in the difficult times that followed.
The building and surrounding area are lovely, the interior of the home has been well thought out, and the rooms are of a high standard (Mum's room has a view over the garden). The most important thing is the staff, and they are exceptional. I do mean all the staff, from the office, the kitchen (amazing food and the birthday cakes they make are fabulous!), to the care staff themselves. I cannot thank you all enough for the care and attention you give. You do an amazing job.
Thank you.
