My mum came to the care home after living on her own aged 93. From the first home visit I was amazed at the care they offered and wanted to know her likes and dislikes down to how she liked her tea - milk, sugar etc.
Once she was in the staff made her feel welcome and safe which ment so much to me
knowing she was in good hand nothing is too much for the staff. Can't praise them enough.

Whitby Court Care home is the best home in Whitby. The staff are absolutely amazing, engaging activities are planned for service users, the home is kept clean and tidy with a pleasant smell that reflects on the care service users are receiving. The staff were so kind to my late Grandpa who stayed both
upstairs and downstairs at the home, every staff member knew my name after one meeting and went out of their way for me and my family members on several occasions. The care my Grandpa recieved was exemplary. Absolutely amazing.

Father has only been in for a couple of weeks. Great staff - friendly and welcoming feeling. Enjoying himself. Mum moved in this morning. A little delay with the move and miscommunication over where Dad was. This unsettled mum a little and meant she was upset in her head, not happy about staying.

Review from Lesley J (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 December 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our 94-year-old mum needed to transition from assisted living care to fully inclusive care. She also needed to move quite a distance and relatively quickly to enable her to get a place in a facility that we thought would best suit her needs. We came across Whitby Court Care Home and from the initial
visit to look around, we were made to feel welcomed by very informed, very skilled and very caring staff. We knew from the onset that this would be the perfect place for our mum. The care team showed us round and we were very impressed by the quality of care, the friendliness of the staff, the location, the facilities and the feeling that there was a community in which our mum could be a part of.
Mum has only been here a short time. But within that time, we have seen a big change. Mum is eating well, engaging with both staff and fellow residents, motivated in attending the wide variety of daily activities. Every time I visit, she presents as happy, contented and best of all, smiling! Thanks so much.

Mum has settled quickly, she likes being here and feels safe. Her anxiety seems to have settled. Staff are polite, friendly and take their time with her.
Enjoys her meals. Home is clean, not noisy and doesn't smell.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since becoming a resident my mum has quickly settled into Whitby Court. I was concerned that she might find it difficult to adjust but I was relieved to find she was made to feel so welcome and included in everything. The manager was very helpful making the initial process of becoming a resident much
easier to understand and has continued to help and support in the months since Mum became a resident. The care home team quickly got to know and understand how best to support her and what makes her happy. She enjoys their company and always says how kind they are. I'm pleased we chose Whitby Court for Mum's care because I know she is happy, settled and safe.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Always heartbreaking when a loved one has to be placed into full-time care. The process was made so much easier by the manager and her team at Whitby Court who took the resident in and the care she is given is so good. Whitby Court is clean and a real home from home. The staff have gone out of their
way to reassure us - they combine professionalism and care and we feel very secure with the resident now calling this home. Thank you to all the staff.,

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My brother has been living at Whitby Care Home, firstly on the residential floor, but after falling ill and having hospital treatment on his return to the home, he was transferred to the upper floor as he needed more nursing care. The staff are kind and considerate and looking after him well. However
we have experienced some difficulty in communication with outside medical and personal issues i.e chiropody, dental and optician appointments. The contributing factor to this could be I don't live locally and cannot visit as often as I would like.

I looked after Dad for a long while, however it became too much, I didn't realise how much. To entrust my dad into care was very very difficult to accept. The moment I walked into Whitby Court I felt there may be light for me and my dad. 2 years on and I have my life back but most importantly my dad
has his. He is happy, content and safe at Whitby Court. All the staff are so kind, caring and patient. The management is exceptional. Thank you all for looking after my dad. Kindness really does live at Whitby Court.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.852)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.852) out of 10 for Whitby Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.852 for Whitby Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (267 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 311 Ratings = 4.852
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Whitby Court Care Home is based on 26 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    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 51 registered maximum number of service users is 10.2, which has been reached with 26 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.
