I cannot explain how relieved I am that my husband is so well cared for. The covid virus has caused so many problems for all the staff to cope with. I do miss him but knowing he is well cared for is a comfort for me.

Review from Lesley R (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 August 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother and father were both in this home. My father died of Coronavirus in April. The care is very good, but I find the communication a bit lacking. I have Lasting Power of Attorney for my mother for finance and her welfare but wasn't told that she had 2-tests for Coronavirus by the staff. Additionally,
she has lost many items of clothing, and the quality of food has declined in the last couple of months. Overall, my mother and I are very happy with the care and attention that she receives. I would recommend White Gables.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband was in White Gables for 5 months prior to his passing away. The staff were amazing and words cannot express how grateful myself and our family were for the wonderful care he received. Nothing was too much trouble and he was always dressed in his own clothes. The home is bright and clean and
his room had lovely touches that made him feel at home. I have seen other care homes in the area but White Gables must surely be the best.

My husband was looked after so well, we could not ask for more. He passed away on the second of September and the girls and the manager could not do enough for us.
All his family were so happy with White Gables, they said I could not have found anywhere better for him.

The staff are very friendly and caring. My wife had formed quite a few friendships since she has been a resident. Though some of the night staff need to be a little more compassionate.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I looked at many care homes for my father and it was a real eye-opener! But I struck gold when we decided on White Gables. The home is warm friendly and the staff are fantastic, always cheery. The food is plentiful and looks lovely. His room always clean and tidy. They keep me updated and he is not
the easiest of clients to care for but they do a fantastic job. Even one of the girls nipped out in her lunch break to fetch him his favourite drink from the local shop. So 5 stars to all the staff.

My friend has been a resident with you for almost a year. I visit weekly and am always impressed by the care, concern from the staff to residents. A very hard and heartwrenching job but so well worth it. Unable to comment on all questions as only a friend.

This is a very well care home. The care and dignity shown and compassion has been fantastic. Interaction is good and the staff can't do enough. The patients benefit from seeing pets that are allowed in too. Can't recommend enough.

Friendly care home. Well presented, decorated and clean 95% of the staff are friendly and chatty and eager to help if they can. Only negative at the moment is dirty washing isn't cleaned and often wet and dirty washing left in the room for 2-4 days.

Since my wife was brought in I have found the staff to be friendly and helpful. They are really good with my wife, who has dementia and they treat her with respect and dignity. I am always made to feel welcome when I visit with the rest of my family - we are always offered a brew which is really good.

Excellent care home in every way: clean, welcoming, good nutritious food, but most of all, the kindest most caring care staff you could hope for. My Father is very content ar White Gables and refers to is as "home". Special mention to all staff and for taking Dad out for the afternoon. Exceptional.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.506)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.506) out of 10 for White Gables Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.788 for White Gables Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (79 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 99 Ratings = 4.788
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.718 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for White Gables Care Home is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.9
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 11 = 0.818
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
