Review from Juliette W (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 7 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After lockdown, my 97-year-old Grandma suffered desperately with loneliness as suddenly her active social life halted. Her physical health suffered as a result and in June she was admitted to hospital. She wasn't well enough to go home so was taken to White Rose House where she spent the 1st week in
isolation. She was desperately unhappy and terrified that she'd never return home. She'd always said that she never wanted to go into a care home. Well, within a week of being out of isolation, her exact words were "I love it here". She didn't want to go home plus I was worried she'd be unable to cope. I was able to arrange for her to stay permanently at White Rose House where she was so happy. Unfortunately, I've been unable to go into her new home due to Covid-19 restrictions but was able to visit from the window and we could chat and see one another. Grandma became poorly again but from the window I witnessed incredible tenderness from her carers, they made her laugh as well. I owe them so much.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum lived at White Rose for just over two years, like most people she didn't want to leave her home but with the help of the staff she settled very quickly. I visited my mum almost every day so I did get a good feel for the workings of the home and the atmosphere created. It is very modern and clean
and well decorated. There are plenty of different rooms or sitting areas so the residents don't spend all day in the communal lounge if they don't want to. My mum spent a lot of time in her own room which was her choice but did enjoy the sing-songs around the piano or when local singers came in to entertain the residents. She had her hair done each Monday at the salon onsite. On sunny days she loved to sit out in the garden with a coffee or wine.
The staff were always kind, caring and compassionate and when my mum was on end of life care in April they took this to a new level in difficult circumstances. I would not hesitate in recommending White Rose House.

My mother, who has been a resident for a couple of years, recently became very unwell quite suddenly. The outstanding care my mother received from the management team and staff was amazing and due to their prompt actions, my mother is now well and truly on the mend. I cannot praise the staff and the
home enough. Simply outstanding.

When mum decided at 98 years old that she needed extra care and leave her home of 40 years, it was a wrench. The home visits prior to her going to White Rose House helped enormously. Once in White Rose House, they helped her to settle and feel at home. She was happy and comfortable there and would say
"the staff is lovely and the food is very good!". A win-win situation Iw ould say. Thank you White Rose House.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My wife has been at White Rose House for four years. We struggled to find anywhere locally that matched up to the standards of White Rose. Generally, we are happy with the home. Occasionally communication isn't made between shifts. The activities are 'random' - sometimes don't happen and some residents
don't seem to be involved. Also, it's a shame when good carers move on. Management tried hard to achieve the recent CQC good standards and it is hoped that they will be maintained.

Provided good care for my dad he was very happy here "warm, well-fed and well cared for".
The staff got to know dad well and enabled considerable improvement in his physical and emotional well-being during his 8-month stay.
The manager and deputy manager were major drivers of understanding dad's care
needs.
The cleaner was always helpful and friendly. Thank you.

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.

We will discuss with your mother her preference for getting up in the mornings to ensure the care staff are aware of your mother’s wishes and that she is happy with this.

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.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.698)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.698) 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.848 for White Rose House is calculated as follows: ( (141 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 164 Ratings = 4.848
  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 4.85 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for White Rose House is based on 14 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.85
    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, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
