Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful feedback. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share such positive words-it means a great deal to us. It was a pleasure having your Dad here and working with your family, and your appreciation motivates us to continue giving our very best.
My mum came to White Gables 3 years ago, the care she receives is excellent, the staff are all kind and caring and will go out of their way to help the residents who live at White Gables. The home has a very warm and homely feel to it.
Thank you for your lovely review. We always strive to deliver the best care to each of our residents.
My father has been here since January 2024 and is very happy. During the 11 months he has had a few health issues which have been dealt with by the staff quickly and very efficiently. Overall my father and his family have nothing but praise for the manager and her brilliant team and would not hesitate in recommending White Gables to other people.
Thank you for the review. The team in the home work very hard to give our service users the best care possible.
My mother is very happy, comfortable and settled at White Gables and has been since her admission in January 2017. Any issues that have arisen have always been dealt with speedily with her and the families best interest uppermost.
Thank you for your lovely comments. We all strive to give the best possible care to all of our service users, thank you again.
A fantastic, small but friendly, homely care home. Always smells lovely, always lovely and warm, always fun and laughter to be heard! I visited many care homes before settling on White Gables. Many have great first impressions but you need to look around the rooms and look at what is on the walls to see how connected the staff and residents are.
Thank you for the lovely review. We always strive to do our best for all of our Service Users.
I find White Gables a friendly well-run care home, my relative has settled in very well, he is happy and has gained much-needed weight, company and a feeling of safety. The staff are all friendly and helpful, the home itself is very clean, welcoming and homely.
Thank you for your lovely review. We aim to give our service users the best possible care.
I would definitely recommend this place, great food, clean and staff are so lovely and would definitely go the extra mile for you
Great stay here and will definitely come back again. Thank you so much to all the staff you’re great.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. It was a pleasure having you here in the home, we look forward to seeing you again.
1. Greeting on arrival was very chaotic and not welcoming.
2. Mum was dressed in other people’s clothing, despite her own being labeled.
3. Medication found on Mum's knee? Make your own mind up!
4. Visiting times not conducive to working family members.
5. Staff were rude and very unhelpful.
6. Door shut in my face when I asked for Mum's unused sanitary wear to be returned (84 pads in 3 weeks!).
7. When Mum asked to use the toilet, the carer said ‘what again’!
8. Mum's clothes were crammed into one bag when I collected her and not folded and put in nicely, very disappointing.
Mum is now happy at another home where the staff is helpful, happy, and kind and we get a cup of tea.
Our aim is to always provide the best possible care to those we support.
We pride ourselves on keeping the residents and staff safe throughout the pandemic, following Government guidelines and have been successful in doing...
This was by far the best care home for end of life care for our mother we could have chosen. The reason being the cleanliness, the friendliness and patience of all staff, the food, the accessibility to talk about treatment, the support and much more.

Meet the Team (3)

I am Henrietta Encarnacion. I have worked in care for more than 20 years. I have a bachelor's degree in Business Administration. I started as a Senior Carer and have worked up to the position I am now for the last 15 years. I like teaching and mentoring staff. Looking after the elderly has a special place in my heart because I grew up with my grandparents.
I like to be upfront and transparent, with honesty and consideration at the forefront of any conversation. My commitment is to honour each person’s unique needs and wishes, encouraging independence, wellbeing, and a deep sense of belonging.

I started at White Gables in 2021 as a Senior Care Assistant then in 2022 I became Lead Senior, deputising for Claire and covering in her absence.
I have worked over the years training to become skilled and knowledgeable and am still undergoing training to extend this knowledge and pass this down to our wonderful staff. I am passionate about the residents receiving the best care possible and ensuring they are happy and enjoying their lives here at White Gables.
In my spare time, I enjoy taking holidays around Britain with my husband and two Border Terriers, my dream is to own a Campervan.

Hi, I'm Paige and I am the admin assistant at White Gables Care Home. I have been working in administration since 2019 and joined the White Gables team in 2023.
I am dedicated to ensuring the residents feel safe at home and valued. I love learning about their lives before moving to White Gables and making them smile. I work closely with all staff members to ensure all enquiries are dealt with in a timely and effective manner and customer satisfaction is particularly important to me. I take control of all things paperwork and spreadsheets are my secret pleasure! In my spare time, I love going on days out & holidays with my husband & little boy. My dream would be to go to Disneyland in America with my family.
