The care team gave detailed updates on the progress of my Mum which was much appreciated
The staff make a big effort to engage all residents in the activities they arrange.
The food is very good and residents are given hot drinks and snacks as when required.
The garden is easily accessible and gives an opportunity of a change of environment on a sunny day.
My partner is well cared for at Whitefriars. The carers, the cooks and not forgetting the cleaners all contribute to making it a happy place.

My father went into Whitefriars in Stamford for respite care with a view to becoming a permanent resident. We found the staff to be very understanding of our feelings and made Dad very welcome and relaxed on arrival. As the weeks progressed, my dad settled in well, and although he suffers from Alzheimers Dementia, his personality became a lot more relaxed and happy. To see him smiling again is wonderful. The staff are all very friendly, and the whole place feels like we are all part of a team of taking care of Dad.
Thank you for taking the time to write your review, we are pleased to hear how positive your's and your farthers experience has been at Whitefriars.
All residents look well looked after in a calm and caring atmosphere. This is re-assuring for partners and families.

I could not ask for my mum to be in a more caring home. The staff are friendly and kind. Only this week there was a lovely afternoon tea for mothers day. Staff always have time to listen to any of my concerns about mum. Thank you Whitefriars.

The staff from all areas of the home from carers, cooks to management and everyone in between have been very welcoming of mum, and as supportive as they can be to meet all her needs, as well as those of her family. The family Christmas Lunch was lovely, really well thought out and organised. I know mum enjoyed it as did I. Thank you all.

My husband was a resident in Whitefriars for 2 years until his death on 26/5/25. The standard of care was always good but the care he received from the majority of the staff caring for him for the last 5 days of his life was truly outstanding. As a nurse with 40 years experience I know that this was exceptional care, he would not have received better care anywhere, even in a hospice. Thank you to all the staff concerned.

I began my journey with OSJCT in June 2017 as a Senior Carer at Whitefriars Care Home in Stamford. Over the years, I progressed through various roles, including Care Lead, Dementia Lead, and Deputy Manager. In June 2025, I was honoured to be appointed as the Home Manager at Whitefriars, marking a significant milestone in my career.I have a deep passion for care, particularly for people living with dementia, as this is something very personal to me. The opportunity to make a meaningful impact in their lives is what drives me every day.
I have remained with the Trust because of the incredible opportunities for growth and the alignment of the organisation’s values with my own passion for care. The supportive environment and the Trust's mission to provide high-quality care truly resonate with me, making it a place where I can continue to thrive and make a difference.
I love the direct impact I can have on the residents' lives, as well as the sense of fulfilment that comes from the connections I build with them. The team I work with is also a huge part of what I enjoy about the job, as we work closely together to provide the best care possible. Additionally, the constant opportunity to learn and grow in my role keeps me motivated and engaged. It’s incredibly rewarding to make a positive difference in the lives of those we care for.
