The level of care the team offer is extraordinary. Staff are so caring and compassionate; gentle and kind with the wellbeing of residents being paramount. My grandmother is always clean and her accommodation tidy, she is very happy here. The staff as a whole are a credit to Care UK, and I am convinced
that if she were not so cared for and loved, she may not be with us now.

If I ever need to be in a home I would like it to be this. My mother gets exceptional care and love from the staff - no matter what day or time I visit she always looks clean and happy, and her room is always very clean. The food she gets looks good enough to eat.

My experience of this care home is very favourable. The general age of the people indicates a high proportion of mental illnesses i.e. dementia is prevalent, however the staff are well-equipped to care for them.
The food and the catering is excellent, 3 meals per day and a good variety is available.
There
is a good selection of activities i.e. trips to local supermarkets and the beach and also a summer fete was very successful.

My mum recently moved into Whitebourne, prior to her moving in she spent several days feeling the environment to make sure she was comfortable with all the surroundings and facilities. I can only say that the staff and management are absolutely fantastic, committed and warm to all my mum's needs and
the level of care has not dropped with my family being welcomed with warmth and management available at all times. To sum it up, my mum is a happier person and enjoying life again! Thank you.

This care home is a wonderful place for the elderly. My mother-in-law has been in Whitebourne just over 4 years and when my mum needed a care home I was in no doubt that this was the place for her.
The staff are attentive to both residents and their family members. They are always happy and willing
to help. This, I'm sure is largely due to the excellent management team. The manager is always around and greets all residents and guests with a smile, nothing seems to be too much trouble.
All care homes should be like Whitebourne.

The care and staff were very good and listened but my mother who is 101 years old was unnerved by dementia patients coming in her room.

Reply from Samantha Debenham, Reviews Team at Whitebourne

Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review for Whitebourne Care Home and for your lovely comments and scores. Whitebourne is home to many older people living with dementia and we always do our best to explain to new residents and families of residents coming to live with us that this occasionally may happen. The home manager would be more than happy to discuss how your mother can best be supported with this should she wish to stay at Whitebourne again in the future.

My husband stayed here for respite. Very well looked after and he enjoyed his stay in the home, even arranged for his covid booster. Manager is very nice and polite. The place is very well managed, clean and tidy and offered a variety of activities. Will definitely choose for future respite stay. Thank
you to one staff member in particular and the team.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.933)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.933) out of 10 for Whitebourne is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.933 for Whitebourne is calculated as follows: ( (170 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.933

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Whitebourne is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Home Manager

I began working for Care UK in 2021, but I felt I knew the provider well – five other family members of mine work for Care UK care homes and have done for many years.


All Care UK homes have the same goal: to provide the best possible care for older people.


Before joining Whitebourne, I worked for another large care provider for almost 14 years. I worked my way up from Care Assistant to Head Housekeeper to Receptionist to Team Leader, Deputy Manager and finally Home Manager. I was always encouraged to apply for new roles, and the progress I’ve made is my proudest achievement.


I am always thinking about what is best for the residents we care for at Whitebourne, and it’s important as a Home Manager to be open-minded, honest and approachable. For me, the best part of the day is the end of the shift when I get to check that the residents are all safe and well, the home is cosy and warm, and the staff are all thanked for their work. I look forward to continuing to progress at Whitebourne and to leading our amazing team in providing excellent care.


When I’m not at work, I love spending quality time making memories with my family.
