The staff are very friendly and caring - would recommend White Ash Brook to anyone looking for a place for their loved one.
We attend White Ash every week to give residents an opportunity to read and discuss bible accounts. The staff and residents have supported us to establish a routine and the activity is enjoyed by all who wish to attend. Thank you to all who have made this a success for so long.
The staff are good but the turnover is large, lots of agency staff as a result, this is not good for staff and residents morale.
Thank you for the opportunity to discuss your concerns one on one. I am glad you are reassured by the improvement efforts underway at the home. The refurbishment programme is well underway with a new activities programme which makes good use of the minibus, so there’s a lot to look forward to in...
My sister chose this home for my other sister. When I went everyone was great from reception and all the staff. The facilities inside and out were great with outdoor space for the residents to enjoy. There is ample parking. The kitchen has a five star rating. I was always offered a cup of tea and coffee and the residents offered a choice of sandwiches and soup.
White Ash Brook has been dads home for nearly 2 years and during this time he has settled in amazingly well. We tried other homes before this one but none have been as helpful or understanding in the more difficult circumstances when things don't always go to plan. White Ash Brook Care Home boasts good views, green space, post office and general store within easy walking distance and only a short bus trip away is Oswaldtwistle Mills. All rooms have ensuite facilities and the home is exceptionally spacious. Overall verdict - excellent!!!

Meet the Team (1)

My name is Marie, Manager at White Ash Brook. I started my journey in health care when I was just 22 years old, and from that first role, I knew I was never going to do anything else other than work within the sector.
I began working in the community going to peoples' houses, helping them with all their needs. This lasted for many years, and I really enjoyed it but I realised if I wanted to make more of a difference, I would be better placed inside a care home, being able to learn from more experienced carers. This gave me great insight into what path I wanted to take.
After many years of experience, I decided it was time to gain my qualifications. After I gained all my NQS and management qualifications, I was promoted from being a senior to care co-ordinator, before landing my first role as a Registered Manager.
With many years of experience behind me, I am now delighted to be working here at White Ash Brook, where we promote independence and well-being through our vast range of activities such as gardening, exercise, days out in the community and more.
It’s all about putting people first, and we offer ongoing training and development opportunities for our team to make sure they always provide the very highest levels of care. We are always open for a brew and a chat as we feel it's not just about who we support, it's also about involving the community.
