Overall Experience
I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to Cara and her wonderful team at The White House Care Home. My mum was with you for nearly two years, and she could not have been in a nicer, more caring place. The team could not have done any more than they did. They are kind, thoughtful, and always put the residents first in everything they do.
My mum had experienced other care homes in the past, and none of them came close to the standard of care she received at The White House. It is a relatively small home, warm and welcoming, very much like a family environment. One of the things that meant the most to us was the consistency of the staff - in the entire two years Mum was with you, I never once saw a change in the team. This stability is incredibly important, especially as people grow older and can become more confused. Familiar, friendly, consistent faces were something Mum truly cherished.
