In my opinion, standards have improved in the last few months. The staff, in general, are attentive, pleasant and caring. The food seems to have improved and there is a pleasant atmosphere.

My mother has been in White Rose House for 5 years - largely satisfactory, although she is got up out of bed in the mornings too late sometimes.

My Mum is a very difficult person to deal with, she takes a lot of time and patience. The staff do very well for her. Thank you very much for all the help you give her. Mum says she is content living here. She will have been here 3 years in February 2020.

I cannot thank ALL of the staff at White Rose House enough and would highly recommend the home to anyone looking for somewhere for a family member. The care is second to none and the management and carers can't do enough to help. The staff don't do their job because they need to, they do it because
they want to - and this shows. Everyone has treated Mum and our family and friends with love and respect. THANK YOU.

My dad was admitted to White Rose House due to severe frailty. The kindness, care and compassion shown to not only my dad but us as a family as well has been second to none. The home is a very friendly and welcoming place. It is beautifully decorated, clean and all members of staff are very professional.
I would have no hesitation in recommending White Rose House to anyone.

White Rose has had times of difficulty but is now making progress in getting more staff on duty who are better trained.
The manager is approachable and anything I have asked of her has been done.
I hope all the improvements that need to be made will happen.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The White Rose is in a lovely position in the Holme Valley, I visit my mother in law regularly and the staff are always very helpful and cheerful. Whilst my mother in law has resided in the White Rose I have joined in with quiz afternoons, activities with the local school children, nostalgia afternoons
(listening and dancing to the older styles of music), Harvest Festivals lead by our local vicar. Our family were invited for Christmas lunch and we had a great time. My granddaughter comes with me once a week and at two years old loves interacting with the residents and they with her. As a family, we feel that every effort is being made to meet the needs of my mother in law. Through some difficult times where we have had difficult decisions to make we have always found the manager's door open and with a willing ear to listen to our doubts and worries. I leave my mother in law at the White Rose feeling confident and happy we are giving her the best care we can.

White Rose House is a well designed, well-run nursing home, where the staff have done their best to look after my mother in law for almost two years.
It is my view, from many, many visits that the residents enjoy a very good level of care.
Recent local press articles gave a totally misleading picture
of the home and should be ignored!
Keep up the good work.

The care offered has been wonderful. The staff have strived to make the transition as easy and secure as possible. We have all been encouraged and welcomed to treat White Rose as my Mother in Law's own home - to share meals, watch favourite programs in the sitting room and to spend quality tie together.
The staff obviously know residents well and ensure their needs are met quickly and with respect. It is lovely to see them taking the time to chat with and encourage independence form those in their care.

My father stayed for a brief respite whilst we had a holiday. He enjoyed his stay and loved the events and activities organised by the great and kind entertainer. My dad is well travelled and I think he found the food a little bland. He currently enjoys a good Mediterranean diet and he felt the meals
could do with more imagination. We will definitely use White Rose again and if we need more help for him we'll come back. Thank you.

Although my father is happy and comfortable in his home, White rose, I personally feel improvements could be made to his room e.g. shelf in the bathroom on a slant. His food table always dirty. I now buy my own disinfectant wipes to wipe all surfaces. Staff good with my Dad - some more than others,
but could do with more staff to ensure the residents get the attention they need.

As a visitor to White Rose House, in order to see a friend, I have found it very clean, modern and bright with a welcoming atmosphere and very good layout.
Public rooms and spaces provide the intimacy sometimes needed for patient/visitor privacy, without having to spend time in the bedroom.
I have
found the staff helpful and friendly and the activities and amenities available for patients are excellent.
Altogether, a very pleasant home to visit, with refreshingly bright surroundings and people-friendly atmosphere.

Mum came to White Rose House in 2015 and rapidly settled in, enjoying the relaxed friendly environment. The care staff were competent and attentive, looking after her well and becoming her friends. In her final weeks, she was able to stay in familiar surroundings, attended by friendly staff for whom
nothing was too much trouble.

A month here has enabled me to gain a much more balanced picture, considering personal needs. Splendid carers (both loud and soft!) radiate a spirit of enjoying their work and accomplishing it. Initially, the food was poor, but improvement has been made. Appalling mashed potato, drastic fish and chips,
squished sprouts and cold plates were the order of the day. Now, quiche etc for tea (and garlic mushrooms!) and other changes paint a better picture. Hotter food is a further plus too.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.662)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.662) out of 10 for White Rose House 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 5 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 4.759 for White Rose House is calculated as follows: ( (44 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 58 Ratings = 4.759
  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 3.903 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for White Rose House is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.4 = 0.403
  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.
