Excellent care home where residents are looked after with care and empathy in beautiful surroundings and where their family and friends can visit them with ease. They have a lovely dining room where they have a choice of food from a menu at each mealtime and a comfortable lounge where entertainment is laid on for residents.

I went to visit an old friend Alan, and was truly impressed with the facilities and staff. From the front door all the way through the building, it was light, bright and smelled lovely. The staff were friendly and knew the residents all by name which was great to see. I was offered a coffee and was made to feel very welcome. What a joy to behold a "care home" which actually felt like it was the clients homes and not an institution. I was lucky to see a new bedroom" wow it's nicer than my bedroom at home. Alan was relaxed and happy and must have chatted too much as, when i left he was dozing in the lounge. Anyone considering a place of safety for a loved one, which is a home from home please visit here !!

My dad has been at Whitegates for a few years, he is very well cared for by super staff who attend to his every need. The staff feed, wash and dress him, he is always very calm and happy. Staff take him out on trips to local cafes we go and meet him there. There are weekly activities emailed to us which we are welcome to go to. I cannot recommend this place highly. We are very lucky he is so well cared for.

Whitegates has been an absolute blessing for our family. My stepdad, who is living with dementia, receives truly outstanding care here. The staff are not only professional and knowledgeable, but also genuinely kind, patient, and compassionate. It's clear they truly care about the residents as individuals. What has meant just as much to us is the support they've shown our mom. She's always kept informed, listened to, and made to feel part of the care process. The peace of mind this gives us is invaluable. The musical activities in particular have been incredibly special. Watching my dad completely immersed in the music, often sitting and conducting with such joy and focus, is deeply moving. It's like he enters a whole new world - one where he's fully engaged and alive in the moment. These moments are priceless for all of us. Thank you, Whitegates, for everything you do. You've made a difficult journey so much easier, and we're incredibly grateful.

My husband has been living well with dementia at Whitegates Care Home since February 2025.Care staff are caring, kind and well aware of Alan's wants and all his needs are met with empathy and respect. Management have ensured that a person centred plan of care is in place and I am involved in all the decision making as Alan's dementia progresses. My sincere thanks go to all the staff at Whitegates, care staff for meeting his needs on a daily basis, chefs and kitchen staff for ensuring that dietry likes and dislikes are considered, Management for ensuring his physical and emotional health is managed and admin and occupational staff for keeping me informed in how my Alan spends his day. Thank you

Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting my friend at Whitegates, and was so impressed by how much he had achieved. If I needed somewhere to recover, I'd choose this care home. The staff were kind and respectful and nothing seemed too much trouble.

Outstanding care home. We visited and had Christmas Lunch with our friend who we have POA for. The staff always make us feel welcome and nothing is too much trouble for either the resident or the visitor. So pleased we found this care home and would have no hesitation recommending it to anyone in need cof are services.

We moved a friend who was 80 years old, was incapable of being alone and had early signs of dementia from a home in Lincolnshire to Whitegates due to location. The friend's wife died and we had POA as they had no family. Being 8 miles away makes it easy for us to visit 3 times a week on average. Whitegates couldn't be a better home for him. If we had to go into a home we would very happily live at Whitegates. (I think my wife is trying to get me a booking for me behind my back.) I have been to several care homes visiting relatives over the past 10 years and Whitegates is by far the best I have ever experienced. The staff are caring and empathetic and they have enough of them (most homes seem to be understaffed), many with a lot of service years - so much experience. Excellent facilities, lovely rooms, great food - it really is like a 5-star hotel. Exceptionally well managed by a great team.

Whitegates is well maintained and regularly upgraded, which keeps it looking very pleasant and clean. My father is extremely well cared for and the staff are kind, friendly and treat him like family. The entertainment on offer is very interactive with great trips out and wonderful performers. Families are always invited to take part if they would like to, and I couldn't wish for a better care home to look after my dad.

This is a wonderful place. Superb care and smiling attentive staff at all times. No better care Anywhere! My husband, who is a stroke survivor, has made significant progress, particularly with his mobility. I cannot thank the staff enough.

Having visited my mother today, I was delighted to get some feedback from one of her regular carers, which was positive and good to hear. Whitegates is a very caring environment.

Good to see Mum so well cared for by caring members of staff. Thank you.

I have always found the staff and management very helpful and knowledgeable. They are always cheerful and willing to listen if the time is available. There is always a cup of tea available should we want one and a piece of cake. The entertainment ladies are always engaging and involve my wife and I, in almost everything they do. Love the fact that the building is being updated and brighter.

My mother came into Whitegates just for respite so we could have a holiday. When Mom came home, she asked to go back to Whitegates as she felt safe and happy there. The staff are all wonderful and that's everyone to include kitchen staff, cleaners, laundry... people we don't really see. Nothing is too much trouble for them. To myself, when I visit, it's like visiting my mom at home with a nice cuppa and chat. Care is also given by the owner, she always has time.

My mother-in-law stayed here at Whitegates Bromyard recently, initially for a two-week stay to see how she liked it. Unfortunately, her second week was cut short due to a nasty fall which needed an emergency visit to Hereford hospital where they identified a bleed on the brain. During her limited time at Whitegates family members visited most days to see that she was okay and whilst we acknowledge that Whitegates had a "Outstanding" assessment by Care Quality Commission back in 2018, the family were disappointed in some aspects of the care provided. One specific area of concern was how frequently we observed staff members using their mobile phones and watching TV when they should have used this time to interact with their residents. This unfortunately was witnessed all too often by family visitors. Not the best experience but sadly probably a very common experience for many living in a care home these days. I'm glad to report that my mother-in-law has now recovered from her injury.

My husband spent three months in this wonderful home. He suffered from dementia but was able to join in the activities provided - a ride in a canal boat, tea dance, music, etc. He enjoyed living there and was so happy. The food was excellent, the staff caring, and the residents always looked cared for! He was always treated with dignity and respect. He, unfortunately, died after suffering from a stroke. The end-of-life care, kindness and sympathetic treatment of relatives will never be forgotten.

My father was at Whitegates from August to December 2022. He loved his time there. He was beautifully cared for, he always looked smart, shaved and showered. He loved mixing with all the residents, teasing the staff and all the different activities. In his final days, the care and love he received from the staff were exceptional and the sympathy, care and understanding that his wife and daughters were shown by the staff, will always remain with us as a very cherished memory. I can not recommend Whitegates and its staff more highly.

I am the sister-in-law of the resident who was born with Down's syndrome and now has dementia, her age is 67. It took my sister-in-law a while to settle but she is fine now and well looked after. One slip, my sister-in-law walks about a lot and she walked out of their main door at 12:30 pm some weeks ago, she walked about a quarter of a mile to the local pub in our town. It has been all sorted out now. Then just four weeks later, I visited at 3 pm to find a gentleman outside, door open again. That has been all sorted out now. Thank goodness.
