Review from Neil M (Husband of Resident) published on 1 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife has Vascular Dementia and been a resident at The Callywhite for 15 months after it became impossible for me to care for her at home. I needed to know that she was safe and cared for and The Callywhite satisfies that requirement 100%. The layout of the home is perfect with large rooms, wide corridors,
but more importantly no accessible stairs and no hot radiators. The quadrangle layout means there are no dead ends where residents can get lost. The staff are wonderful in the way they care and they treat everyone with dignity. Whenever I visit I receive a warm welcome and everyone talks to me and helps me through every visit. After sixty years of a wonderful marriage that help and assurance is paramount. I have thought long and hard to find a negative comment about The Callywhite but came up with nothing. My grateful thanks to every member of staff for caring for my wonderful wife.

My Mum sadly had to go into care in September 2022 following the passing of my father. What was a very difficult time was made all that easier, through the help and kindness of all the staff at The Callywhite Care Home. They not only helped my Mum to settle a lot quicker than we anticipated, but they
also supported my self and my sister during this painful time. 6 months on and my Mum is really settled and now participates in activities she would never had done before. Myself and my sister are both completely at ease knowing she has the help and care she needs. Thank you Callywhite!

My husband has advanced dementia and has lived in The Callywhite Care Home for the past two years, during that time I can't fault his care. He is always clean and tidy and comfortable. Any problems and the doctor is notified. A huge amount of effort is put into enriching residents' lives every holiday
or event is used to create interest. Residents are always spoken to in a friendly/concerned/caring way, treating everyone with respect. The home itself is nice/newly decorated and is clean and fresh with no odour. I have no worries about his care.

My mum has dementia and started living at Callywhite, following some falls and a stay in hospital. Unfortunately, Mum's health deteriorated and she passed away after five weeks. The level of care, respect and dignity all the staff showed Mum was amazing and really made a difference to our family, particularly
towards the end. We are sad Mum wasn't around longer to enjoy life at The Callywhite but would highly recommend it.

Mum was sadly in your care for only the last five weeks of her life but she received 100 per cent totally professional care. I cannot think of one thing we would change. The facilities, rooms and management, but most importantly, the care were incredible to not only Mum but to her family too. So sad
Mum couldn't have been there longer, she would have loved it. Thank you!

My mother-in-law has resided here for three years. During that time she has been cared for by all members of staff to the highest standard. As family members we have been made welcome and supported by all the staff at The Callywhite Care Home. All members of the staff at Callywhite have been friendly
supportive and caring to my mother-in-law. I would recommend Callywhite very highly to others.

Mum has been in Callywhire for over three years with dementia. Over the last three months her condition has deteriorated, at present she is at end of life. At all times the care has been excellent but as we approach this sad time words cannot express the love and support all staff and management have
shown Mum. she is in the best place with the best care. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Callywhite, my only complaint is the staff and manager don't get the credit they deserve!

My mum has been a resident at The Callywhite Care Home for three years, in this time all the staff have shown love, care and nothing has been too much trouble. During Covid times the staff took videos of my mum happy and dancing with staff and sent them to us showing how happy she was. The staff treat
the residents like family. I wouldn't hesitate in moving a member of my family into Callywhite.

Review from Gary E (Grandmother of Resident) published on 28 March 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Nice care home for my Grandmother who had to sell her house for the funding at this place, which must charge top end for their services.
My grandmother's money has drastically been reduced to next to nothing given the fact she has been paying the care home for almost six years now. This month I managed
to seek some extra funding to help with her extraordinarily large top-up fee.
Guess what, the care home called me today and explained that her care is going to rise again by an extra 34 pound a week.
How much does the management really think is realistically affordable when they only get a pension.
The price of this care home must be one of the highest in the land.
Moving my grandmother to a cheaper home is not an option due to her age.
She will surely be bled dry when the end comes by this company.
Reply from The Callywhite Care Home, Provider at The Callywhite Care Home

Dear Gary, we sincerely appreciate your feedback; we just wish you had raised your concerns during the call. The manager and the team have enjoyed caring for your Grandmother over the past 6 years. She has been a delight and we are very grateful she chose to make The Callywhite her home. During the call, it was explained to you that we regretted having to impose fee increases, but these are extraordinary times with severe inflationary pressures that we cannot possibly fully absorb. Nevertheless, we have done our very best to minimise the increases to everyone's top-up. From our knowledge of the local care home market, your Grandmother's fee is lower than most homes would charge for a new admission. I am happy to discuss this further at your convenience, so please do not hesitate to contact me should you wish to do so. Thank you. Best wishes and regards, The Callywhite Care Home.

Having looked at several care homes for our elderly relative with dementia, Callywhite stood out as well set up with light, airy rooms and wide corridors. No dark overhanging trees. Welcoming and knowledgeable staff with an outstandingly helpful and approachable manager. This was passed down to all
the staff who were all excellent. Happy to be rung up for progress reports and excellent in approach to the latter days. Fully and unreservedly recommended.

We cannot recommend this care home enough. It is excellent and the staff go above and beyond their duties. Mum's last few weeks were full of laughter and enjoyment. She was well looked after and ate extremely well. The staff are so friendly and helpful and kept us informed at all times. The place was
very clean and tidy. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Callywhite for your relatives. It is a lovely place and again the staff are lovely.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Callywhite is a wonderful caring home where all residents are treated like family members, with compassion, care and dignity by the amazing staff who go "above and beyond" when needed.


Every aspect of my sisters care and wellbeing is well managed, and we are kept informed of any changes that

occur. The food provided looks appetising and nutritious, and the afternoon cakes are fab! Activities are provided most days with something to suit all tastes and interests, friends and family are encouraged to join in (outside coronavirus times). I have been to some lovely events in the past and look forward to being able to go again after the pandemic is over.


We, as a family, know my sister is in the best possible place with the knowledge that she is not only safe but very well cared for too. Well done, and a very big thank you to each and every member of staff.

My friend was admitted to The Callywhite in April 2018 and passed away there in April 2020.
From the very first day, I knew the right decision had been made. My friend was happy, contented and well looked after. The quality of care given was outstanding from everyone who worked there, whatever their
role. This care was also extended to relatives and friends (and still is, when I go to visit the staff.)
In sometimes very difficult circumstances everyone remains cheerful and friendly with good humour. Everyone has time to listen and offer support when needed.
The staff have a deep understanding of the human condition and have made a real difference to our lives.
I am eternally grateful to them. They deserve huge respect and commendation.
Grateful thanks.

Mum has been in Callywhite for 18 months now and we cannot thank the staff or all their support and love especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Whilst it has been hard for all, we are so happy with how the management and staff have handled this and kept the residents safe. During this time the Deputy
Manager has worked with Mum's medical centre and has changed Mum's meds. Since this time Mum has put a stone in weight on and is a lot happier. Thank you!

The management runs a very good ship in Callywhite. Their response to Covid was excellent and very timely, and they have done an excellent job in very difficult circumstances. My mother was very much against going into a care home, but she is very settled there now, and the family is delighted in how
the team have kept the residents safe through the last six months.

My Father has been in The Callywhite Nursing home for a year. It has been really good for him.
The care home manager and all the staff have been very kind to him. They are all very kind and caring, and they always encourage my father to participate in activities.
The care home is very well run. My
father enjoys the company of the staff and the other residents.
The staff are very well trained and they are doing a fantastic job. It is quite clear that they follow procedures throughout their shifts, and this shows in the level of care my father is receiving.
During the last few months, the management and staff of the care home have had to work remarkably hard with all the extra duties letting visitors return to the home. They have done a remarkable job.
So on behalf of myself and my family, we say a big "thank you."

The care home has managed the Covid-19 situation very well, going into lockdown at the earliest opportunity and only changing its policies - allowing socially distanced access - when the Govt/ Public Health England determined it as possible. The Callywhite has kept residents informed about what is happening
via email and has set up a well-organised process for enabling us to book appointments to see Mum. The home is also receptive to suggestions and I have been able to email the Manager/ phone senior staff and the Administrator. Individual care staff have been consistently pleasant and caring toward Mum and myself and genuinely shown concern about the impact of Covid-19 on visiting arrangements.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.886)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.886) out of 10 for The Callywhite 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.886 for The Callywhite Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (178 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 201 Ratings = 4.886
  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 The Callywhite Care Home is based on 17 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8, which has been reached with 17 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.
