Review from Rob B (Brother-in-law of Resident) published on 18 May 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

How lucky we are that Blanford has the wonderful care home of Whitecliffe House, which is where my brother-in-law is being cared for by the lovely carers. They are so kind and thoughtful in meeting all his needs to give him such a lovely life, that otherwise would be difficult at home. We cannot thank all the staff enough for all the love and care they give him, just as if he was their own family.

Review from J L (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 February 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We were impressed by every member of staff that we came into contact with during my mother's stay. In terms of their kindness, empathy, respect for their residents and approachability, nothing was too much trouble and they tried every means to keep my mother comfortable, including special trips to the local shops to buy drinks they thought she might tolerate. Living a distance away from my mother, I was confident and reassured that she was being extremely well cared for. We could not have hoped for better. As a family, it was the best environment for my mother to be in, as her illness took its toll.

Review from Eddie S (Son of Resident) published on 29 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Both from a caring on a daily basis and nursing the standard and performance is excellent. Communication from the home to affected family is extremely good. There is a great friendly atmosphere at all times which enhances the feeling between all parties. There is a very high degree of consideration for well being and continuous discussion with close family members leading to a high degree of confidence in all staff and services.

Would recommend this to all. Has a very high reputation in town.

Review from Peter M (Son of Resident) published on 20 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother has excellent care over the last 5 years. Recently when she suffered a stroke this was effectively dealt with throughout. The first class staff conducted themselves in an exemplary manner with love and care always shown. It would be very hard to beat the team working at Whitecliffe they are outstanding.

Review from Mkhael H (Son of Resident) published on 23 April 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My father was taken in by Whitecliffe on 20th February on respite care after the hospital failed to establish a care package within 2 weeks of his recovery. From the start, they catered to his every need and almost brought him back to his pre-hospitalisation state. After two weeks he went into terminal decline and I cannot fault the care and attention he received over the following month, until his death on 29th March. I am so grateful for this. He finally died in their company even with one of his nurses singing to him! I have always been against nursing homes but Whitecliffe House has changed my mind. Thank you all (expensive but worth it!).
