My mother has been a resident at Whitebourne for the last 1 1/2 years. Her first language is French, but through Dementia, she can no longer converse in English and her speech is very limited. However, the staff at Whitebourne have endeavoured through Google Translate and all their caring ways to ensure
she feels part of the Whitebourne community. I would also like to add, on every visit I make my observations of care are reassured.

My mother has been resident at Whitebourne Frimley since September 2014. She suffers with dementia and is very well cared for by the whole team of staff there. She is very happy in the home and comfortable in her environment.
She participates in the activities there and has a very nice en suite
room which overlooks the garden. The staff are very patient and kind and tolerant.

We are very happy with the care and support my mother is getting at Whitebourne. She has been a resident since June 2014 and has received excellent care. Accommodation and lounge areas are immaculate, medical and personal support are very good including feedback to relatives with food provision being
more than adequate. I am a great believer that any operation or service provider is as good as its lead manager and in Whitebourne, Care UK have an outstanding one. Long may she continue.

My mother has been in Whitebourne Care Home for the past nine years, she has very recently passed away. In all that time she was treated with care, affection and dignity, I was always made to feel very welcome. I cannot praise the management and staff too highly, especially towards the end of her life.
I would not hesitate to recommend Whitebourne to anyone.

I visit my mother at Whitebourne 3 or 4 times a week at different times of the day. My visits haves been over a 2 year period and the homes biggest asset is it's staff. The staff are all engaging and helpful and the staff have an in depth knowledge of each resident. There is a positive can do attitude
and a willingness to overcome any problems or worries that may arise. The activities have improved over the last 12 months and all the residents are encouraged to take part or are involved even if they cannot communicate effectively. The management are flexible and listen to changing needs and requirements so that changes can be accommodated.

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.

Colette Kelleher

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.
