Review from Nickola G (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 16 December 2015 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Overall the home is clean, tidy with friendly and approachable staff. Access to the qualified nurse on duty can at times be difficult as there is usually only one on at a time, with the remainder carers. The food is good and liked by the residents. I do feel that patient dignity could be improved, many times other residents clothing have been found on my grandmother. This is important to get right and to feel an individual. Label system needs to be improved.
↩Reply from Laura Rolph, Assistant Marketing Manager at Whitecliffe House
The above review has been raised with the family as no previous concerns have been brought to the managers attention, all issues have now been resolved. The labelling of residents clothing has been reviewed and we now have a strict labelling policy within the home and resident dignity is of the highest importance to our team.

We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
