All the staff in Whitby Dene cared for my dad, room 2, in every way needed. They all wanted him to enjoy his stay. They spent time and energy listening to him/talking about the books he had written/photos of his family. Encouraged him to eat/drink/walk. The staff acknowledged the residents when passing them. I have worked as an activities organiser so know what hard work it is to get people to join in. Your home is expensive but came highly recommended. Luckily, he had saved all his life. Thank you. We were made welcome at all times.

Whitby Dene care home have been caring for my husband for past month. I have nothing but praise for all of them. What a great team they are, friendly, warm, kind, collaborative going above and beyond to make my husband happy and feel at home, with activities, food etc. The nursing care I have seen exceeds much of what I have seen in local NHS hospitals here the patient comes first. From top to bottom Whitby Dene staff deserve a medal. Thank you all.
Two particular staff members are and have been amazing especially at mums passing.
All the carers are so kind and considerate and do there very best especially being so short staffed

This care is reflected on my mum's facial expression though she can't express it verbally, every time me and my brother visit her.

Our mother was initially placed in Whitby Dene after breaking her arm and was allocated by the local council. She has now been there for 3 months and it is likely she will remain there long term. Even though the home is out of borough, and it would be far easier for us as a family to have her back in her own borough, nearer to us, we made the decision to keep her at Whitby Dene as we do not believe we would find anywhere that matches the care, or the overall harmony of the home. Our mother is taken out on frequent trips to a local café/pub/garden centre and there are continual activities being held in the home each day (dominoes/games/art and craft/music/piano playing etc). Our mother is never lonely or bored and the staff are friendly, warm, and caring. It has been a home from home and we cannot thank staff enough for the extra lengths they go to to make the residents stay a happy one.
Thanks to everyone at Whitby Dene. We...

Whitby Dene Care Home reception area was also welcoming, clean, fresh and airy.
Mum was a resident for a one-week respite and I believe she was well cared for. I would definitely recommend this care facility.
I have always found the home to be clean and tidy and my mother's room spotless. The staff are friendly, from the bottom to the top and are always helpful with any small matters that occur. I am kept updated by the home should there be a problem regarding her health and well-being.

I’ve worked for Care UK for over a decade now. I started as a carer, so I’m really proud to have gotten to where I have. You still get challenges – every family and new resident is different, every person is an individual, and, initially, families can be worried about putting the care of their loved one into the hands of people they don’t know. Gaining people’s trust takes time, but it is one of the most important things we do.
Aside from supporting new families and residents in the home, day-to-day, I relish seeing residents happy, comfortable and looking smart. I think if they’re happy and comfortable, they must feel at home. In which case, we’re doing things right!
