Whittington Care Home

The staff and management are wonderful - so friendly and always smiling. They take great care of the residents. The food looks great too.

A lovely, friendly place for my dad. He's settled so quickly- and that' all due to how great the staff have been.

I've recently moved my mum to whittington care home and I'm so pleased I have. She seems so much happier since her move. She has commented how much nicer the atmosphere and staff are to her previous home in Doncaster. I've found the staff to be excellent, extremely caring and interested in mums needs. The activities they are doing are lovely and mum had been more involved than her previous home. Their activity organiser is FABULOUS! I always feel welcomed when I visit and find mum well cared for. I love how the staff seem to have fun and jokes with the residents. The facilities have always been well maintained and clean each time I visit. I adore the garden and mum is so happy to have a lovely oasis to relax in with plenty of shaded areas to sit when I visit. I never wanted my mum in care but now she has to be, this is a place I feel happy and confident are taking care of her.

My brother moved into Whittington Care Home in April, and the care that he is being given is excellent. All the staff are very professional in what they do; they are friendly and very attentive to the person's needs. The home is clean, bright and well maintained. My brother always looks clean, and his clothes are freshly washed.

While my mother was in your care, she received excellent care and staff in the home were all excellent towards my mother and us, and my mother's needs. Also, when she passed away, we were looked after. After her passing, the night she passed away, the staff on shift showed us a lot of care. Cannot thank staff enough. Always kept family updated on how mum was.

Our relative spent his last four months here - it became his last family, for it is a real community here. We as visitors were always warmly welcomed. Our relative was cared for with dignity and humour. There is consistency in staff. Nursing staff were very proactive in updating us re our relative's health, either by seeking us out during visits, or promptly telephoning us to discuss. Nursing staff were conscientious and thorough in their approach to our relative's considerable nursing needs. The activities co-ordinator managed to engage our hard-to-reach relative - miraculous! Everyone, from the management and admin team, nursing team, carers, and maintenance and household team treated our family with kindness and respect. Thank you.

My husband was accepted to have respite for 3 weeks after the manager had visited us at home. After 3 weeks, we decided as a family that we were more than happy for him to stay at the home permanently. This was the hardest decision I have ever had to make. He settled in much better than expected. There were obviously difficulties to begin with, but it was clear that my husband was happy and has a good relationship with all the staff. Everyone is very helpful, kind and patient when dealing with any situation they have to face. The entertainment activities are also extremely good. We are always kept informed by the staff at each visit. Thank you.

Dad was taken in unexpectedly in November, and from the first meeting, everyone has been so kind, caring and reassuring. It's comforting knowing that dad is safe and well cared for. We visit regularly and are always greeted with smiles from the lovely staff who take time to chat to us and keep us informed. Its nice to see that dad has a good relationship with his carers who are very respectful to him, shaking hands and high fiving and always interacting with him, providing him with reassurance when needed.

Fabulous cares. Always helpful. My husband is very content there. Food good.

I was impressed from the first time I walked through the door. The staff are friendly, kind and approachable. The residents are well cared for, respected and treated with dignity. She was always wearing clean clothes. I usually visit 3 - 4 hours at a time, and the residents are given drinks regularly by the staff. The lady I was visiting has at least 4 drinks, and more when she wants.

I have always found the staff at Whittington care home very helpful, from the admin to the nurses and carers to the leaners and even the maintenance staff are all very pleasant. Everyone remarks on how good the food is also. I also like the way they keep me uodated on mums health.

It is very difficult to wright a review due to the restrictive nature of your Review Policy, so anyone reading this please take into account, I am unable to accurately review this without any form of deformation, all I would say is please visit this place before allowing a family member to become a resident, most residents are walking and talking so care for them is better, but if you are bed bound and in a confused state then ask to see the room they are likely to placed in. note the inactivity of the staff, I only came across one proactive member. I am unable to say any more than care is no the word I would use.

My dad was transferred here on 11/04/25. The care you have given has been excellent. He has built up his strength with the care staff, and they have taken care of him at meal times. He's been contended with his stay and all staff have been helpful when we have asked questions about his welfare.

I visit my sister every week and I can recommend the activity staff memebrs. She is always doing a variety of activities and although my sister rarely participates, I can see what pleasure the other residents have in joining in. A credit to the home.

I have to give a shout out for 5 staff members in particular - these are the staff I seem to see the most & my parents love them. All of them though are really good.

Even though I'm over 80 miles away, I ring him most days and staff always update me on any appointments, medication changes etc.

I am very happy with the standard of care that my mum receives. The staff are friendly, kind, caring and very patient. They really get to know the residents which enables them to communicate and reminisce with them about their past. Communication is excellent. I am always kept updated about my mum. The home has a very friendly atmosphere and visitors are always made to feel very welcome.

The staff are all as helpful and the nursing care is as good as I have experienced and I feel that my darling wife has found the right place for her.

The staff members at Whittington Care Home are fantastic! Such a great team who are all so caring. During a difficult time, they provided nothing but support to everyone involved. We cannot thank all the home staff enough.

Mum moved here in October 2023 when I first visited on Monday 23rd October. I was extremely impressed by the care staff in the lounge. They interacted so well with all the residents and attended to their needs. As a staff nurse myself I shared this with the Manager. Unfortunately mum ended up in hospital but the care team and the Advanced Practitioner were phenomenal. Upon discharge the care is outstanding and all the carers are considerable and a credit to the home.

My relative has been in Whittington Care Home for only three weeks and naturally, it is taking time to settle. The staff, however, are extremely caring, tolerant of her sometimes violent mood swings, very professional, patient and nothing seems to overwhelm them. Actually, I am amazed at the competence, friendliness and dedication of the staff who carry out their sometimes very unpleasant duties with a smile. Care, welfare and comfort of residents is obviously a priority and I am relieved and satisfied with all standards of residential and nursing care at Whittington Care Home.
