My gorgeous Grandad spent his final few weeks at Whitgift House and I have nothing but praise to sing for this care home. The staff at every level were incredibly helpful, kind and had a genuine passion to care for people rather than "just do their job." They took the time to answer all of our questions without any feeling of being rushed and truly want what's best for their residents. The care home was extremely clean and had a real sense of peace and calmness, which can be very rare to find. It also had a beautiful garden, a chapel for residents to use, lots of engaging activities and a dining room where the residents can eat together which added a real touch of normality and sense of living for the residents. My family and I are extremely grateful for everything, and I would recommend Whitgift House to anyone in a heartbeat. Thank you so much x

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. It truly means the world to us to know your mum has been happy and settled with us for over two years. Hearing that she feels this is her home is the greatest compliment we could receive.
Well-run home, friendly and caring staff.
Thank you so much for your review. We truly appreciate your kind words.
All the staff are very welcoming from the reception to the nursing and care givers and my husband was very well cared for during his respite stay. I was pleased that I could visit at any time and also ask questions which were answered. The activities organisers included my husband when he wanted to join in and I was welcome to attend if I was visiting, especially on the entertainment afternoons which were much enjoyed by residents, staff and visitors. Everything was kept very clean and the food choices were varied and freshly prepared. I would highly recommend this home.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are so pleased you felt welcomed, supported and able to be involved throughout. Your kind words will be shared with our team, and we truly appreciate your recommendation.
Receptionist and staff always friendly and helpful. Common areas always clean and tidy.
I am very happy here.
Our dad moved in to Whitgift House for end-of-life care. Before he became terminally ill his plan was to see his days at the Whitgift. After visiting 12 others homes, as soon as we walked into Whitgift we got "that feeling". Every single staff member from the receptionist to nurses was so helpful and friendly. The main thing is you can tell they really care about their residents and that is what was most important to us. Dad loved it when he visited, he was so excited to enjoy the grounds, the school sports and take part in activities. He liked how modern and clean the home was. Although our dad did not get to enjoy these things he was treated with respect, love and expectational care. We cannot recommend Whitgift enough and although it was sad to lose our father the amazing care he received made it all that much easier as a family. Thank you to everyone at Whitgift, the receptionists, housekeepers, nursing assistants and nurses for making the last few days with our dad so special.
The staff were very caring, the whole family were welcomed by management, kept up to date with the stages of palliative care. Competent staff, helpful and polite. Great chapel, my solace, and beautiful grounds.
My Father moved into Whitgift House Nursing Home in June 2024. It's a beautiful place, I couldn't believe it when I walked in. It's welcoming, friendly, homely and all the staff get to know each resident personally and their families. My father settled in easily and is happy. The carers are wonderful. The staff here are older people who understand the older generation better and have more experience and patience. They are better equipped to care and support them. All the staff are amazing!
I love this place. Food was brilliant. Staff very very welcoming.
My mother moved into Whitgift House to receive close care when her health was deteriorating. The staff (nurses, carers and volunteers) were marvellous and very understanding of Mum's needs during her residence. My family are very grateful for their support during this time.
The care my mother has received is extremely good. The carers and nurses are extremely attentive and go beyond expectations to make Mum comfortable. The other support staff such as receptionist and senior management are compassionate and professional when dealing with relatives of residents. Therefore I would definitely recommend Whitgift House.
My mother has been a resident for nearly 14 years. She is now nearing the end of her life and the care she is receiving is excellent. She is treated with kindness, compassion, respect and dignity by all her carers.
I have every confidence that my relative is in good hands at Whitgift House. From the very first day my relative looked happy and showed signs of happiness with her new accommodation and the staff members looking after her. My visits always give me good feelings and I can now have valued time on my visits. I am involved in every aspect of my relative's care. Many thanks from a happy family member.
My mother received the best of care, kindness and dignity given by all those who cared for her. I can't thank them enough, from the office staff to the laundry ladies. Their kindness was amazing. I and my mother became part of a very loving family, their support was second to none. Thank you.
Upon arrival, whilst the receptionist was helpful and a nurse took her blood pressure etc. there was nobody there to discuss my mother's care. I unpacked and hung around for some time and upon asking I eventually spoke to the care manager who assured me her 'routine' would be placed 'on the system' and after a further delay, I did get to speak to one of the carers.
At the end of my mum's stay, I arrived to pick her up and again the same thing happened only this time I did not even seem to be expected, there was no one to speak to for feedback (the carer on duty had only come on shift that morning) and I had a pre-booked taxi so we had to leave.
Communication with relatives is important and should not be overlooked in this way.
Thank you for taking the time to share the feedback on your experience with us, as it is essential in helping us continuously improve the services we provide. I want to apologise for the frustrations you encountered with communication during both the admission and discharge of your mother's stay....
I have been visiting my friend once a week for the past few months. I have been impressed with most of the facilities at Whitgift House during my visits. The staff are very friendly and caring. All in all, it is a pleasant and safe environment.
Our mother moved into Whitgift House over six years ago. The staff have been so caring and increasingly attentive as she became less able to look after herself. It is an extraordinarily caring, friendly and safe place. She loved the food and it felt like home.
