View Full Details of The White House (Curdridge) LtdI am very happy indeed with the care that my uncle receives at the White House. His Alzheimer's has progressed significantly over the years and the staff have taken appropriate measures to adapt his care and support his changing needs. They contact me immediately if ever there is any aspect of his wellbeing or care that requires discussion and their professionalism is matched by their empathy - they really do care. The White House has a relaxed atmosphere and provides regular activities. It's notable that whenever I visit I see the same staff there, and they seem hardly ever to have to call upon agency workers. I would highly recommend this home - you could not ask for better.
My wife has been a resident of The White House for over 3 years. Her condition due to Alzhiemer's had reached a point it was not safe for her to remain at home without full-time care. Finding The White House was a huge relief, as I quickly came to appreciate she is better looked after than I could possibly have done at home. The staff are very experienced, caring and always close at hand. They understand the differing needs of all their residents and work hard to ensure they have a happy, fulfilling life at the home with plenty of entertainment, activities and trips out where appropriate. The pets in and around facilities make it homely and relaxed. The White House deserves its Outstanding rating and has made a massive difference to both my wife and myself as I know she is in the best possible hands.
My sister has Alzheimer's and has been in the WH for 18 months. She is unable to walk or communicate beyond the basic and simple. The level of care provided by the WH has been exemplary, her medication is reviewed regularly and adjusted as needed. The staff are without exception kind, caring, competent people and the atmosphere is relaxed but professional. As a family, we could not be happier that my sister is as well-cared for, safe and as comfortable as she can be.
The White House has most definitely become my Mums new home. They have been so caring to her, showing genuine love and compassion. The staff are amazing and the house itself is very homely, with pets wandering around and even the occasional visit from the 2 in-house donkeys. They have regular events, which we attend as a family, and they take the residents out most weeks for some lovely trips. There is a new APP that allows me to keep up to date with all that is going on and see pictures of Mum, this is a great comfort to me as I live fairly far away and can only really visit every few weeks. I would have no hesitation in recommending this wonderful home.
I have been visiting a friend in this home for sometime now. The staff are attentive, friendly and nothing too much trouble. My friend is obviously happy and has put on weight. The animals are a delight.
I am so happy with the way my Mum is cared for at The Whitehouse. The staff are not only so kind & attentive but have many laughs with Mum.. which is so lovely to see. The activity team are always thinking of new things to do. The day trips are also a great asset. Through the summer I spent alot of time in the beautiful grounds with Mum, which was so lovely. We were able to do puzzles & games on the large outside tables, & stroll round to visit the animals & bird aviary. Lots of benches throughout the gardens are so useful too. One of the best activities for Mum is seated yoga , which has helped her posture & strength. She has a lovely room overlooking the beautiful grounds. Her room, as well as the whole home, is kept immaculately clean & always smells fresh. I have no concerns about her care & I enjoy visiting her there as the staff are always so warm & friendly.
Mum has lived here for over 2 years. The staff are amazing and turnover is low. Mum has never been keen about socialising but she gets involved with activities and outings! As her daughter this makes me so happy! The food is amazing (thank you Rosanna). The resident animals are great! Four cats and a dog (Freddie) roam freely. The miniature donkeys (Woody and Buzz) are brought to visit, regularly. There are also Wallabies, ducks and chickens on site! Can't recommend this care home, for your loved ones with dementia, highly enough!
My mother has been a resident at the White House for a few years. What's important for us as a family is to know that our loved one is safe and their physical and mental wellbeing is being looked after. We get this from the White House. The surroundings and environment is lovely with lots of outside space. The communication from the team is important and helps us keep in the know with how mother is. The staff are very welcoming and friendly always happy to answer any questions and help.
The White House is a truely caring place, I am so happy to see my Mother enjoying her life now. There are always activities for the residents and this month most were enjoying planting in the lovely garden surrounded by magificient countryside. Any worries I had when Mum entered the home this year were quickly put to bed when I witnessed how much she was enjoying interacting with wonderful staff and enjoyment from weekly day outings and daily activities. Top marks for all the staff who truely are great people making my Mums life and other residents lives meaningful and enjoyable. I can recommend the white house, I now worry less when I see all the pictures of her smiling.
My sister needed greater care and support than she could receive at her former care home, so with help from care professionals, we chose The White House. It has been an excellent choice. The level of professionalism is high, but the care is warm and genuine, even on my sister's worst days she is shown endless patience and comfort. The staff know about the things that worry her, and pre-empt anything that might make her nervous. She very much enjoys music and movement, singing, art, occasional visitors, almost anything she feels she is able to do. She enjoys it when she can choose music to listen to. She makes it clear when she doesn't want to join in. I am impressed by the choice of food available.
I find my husband happy, clean and cared for. What I find very reassuring is the number of staff that are always with the people being cared for and if a problem occurs there is a member of staff right onto the incident. The food is good and plenty enough of it, plus drinks are always available. Cold drinks and tumblers are on a trolley and staff are in the kitchen to make hot drinks. There is a good checking-in and out system for visitors and residents, and also a secure fob key attachment for those who are able to use them. There are days out to various attractions that are available to those residents who would gain from the trips. Family, friends and acquaintances are always made very welcome. There are lovely grounds with an aviary, two donkeys, a pig, some wallabies and various ducks. All is very secure so no one can go walk about. Another important point to me is that a resident isn't forced to go to bed at a set time or to be woken up to get up at a set time.
My husband had two weeks of respite at the White House when I was ill, and I was so relieved at how well it went. He settled down after a few days and the care and environment were just right for him as someone with early onset Alzheimer’s.
I am so pleased with the care given to my dad. He is always very well looked after and all the staff are so caring. I know he is in the best care which means myself and all my family can relax, knowing he is in the best place he can be. We have no concerns at all and that is such a great thing. Having a family member go into care is a very difficult decision to make, so seeing him happy and so well cared for removes our anxiety. Many thanks to everyone who takes care of him.
My mum went to the White House over 2 years ago. From day one the team have been brilliant, kind, and caring, always keeping me informed about everything. They do a lot of activities which is so important and outings which mum always enjoyed. The food choices are excellent, mum has put on weight since she has been a resident! They have excellent grounds with a lot of animals. I would recommend this care home.
An absolutely fabulous home. Staff are amazing, always happy to help with the smallest of queries and at giving reassurance. My auntie is very settled. I know she is safe and well looked after. When we visit, we are always made very welcome.
My husband has been in the care of the White House for just over two years now. I feel he is very well looked after by his excellent carers. The carers have all been, without exception, kind, patient and caring for both my husband and myself. They are always cheerful and good-humoured despite some challenging experiences. I am extremely grateful for their experience and care at all times. When he was able, we were taken out in the van and given special days - lovely experiences for us to share and providing happy memories for me.
The Whitehouse has given a very warm welcome to my mother. She calls it home-from-home and is very looked after by the wonderful carers. Everyone is so friendly and helpful, and I couldn't wish for better for Mum. She deserves the best.
The ongoing care for my mum has been and is still amazing. The home continues to maintain the same staff, which is vital in supporting my mother's dementia needs - helping her to feel safe with familiar faces around her. The respect and dignity they show individuals along with compassion makes the care home feel like a 'real family home'. Activities, along with an amazing garden, filled with birds and animals create a calming and peaceful environment for all the residents to enjoy with their respective families. Day trips are organised for those that can manage an outing with members of staff adding to further enjoyment for all.
My husband has been at The White House Care Home since October - he is suffering from young-onset Alzheimer's and is only 62 years old. Knowing that staff at the unit have so much experience in dealing with younger people with dementia is a godsend for myself and my grown-up children. We were all so grateful when a place became available and my dream would be that there were places like this everywhere. We are all heartbroken that he cannot be at home but he is settled and content at The White House and so well cared for it has allowed us to have quality visits. Our first Christmas was hard but staff went to such lengths to make us welcome and the visit so special that it meant the world - they are all so kind and they are passionate about the work they do. The fact that many have worked there for years says it all. My husband has forged good relationships with both staff and other residents. He really enjoys the trips, the garden and the animals which bring joy to both residents and staff.
Our dearest mum became a resident at the White House during the late summer of 2019 because we could no longer care for her in her own home, and keep her safe from wandering! We are really pleased with The White House, and every visit we’ve made there the staff are always so helpful and welcoming. During the pandemic, they were exemplary in adhering to strict Covid rules, and this kept our mum and all their residents very safe. However (non-Covid related), Mum became very ill and had to have a few weeks in hospital last September, very scary, but especially because of the no visitors to hospital rule! On her return back to the White House the staff were and have been so wonderfully caring in helping to build up her strength. They are so patient with her, spending time encouraging her to eat her meals, they have had to come up with clever ways! Visits to our mum now are all the more joyous because she’s improved so much, and is mostly free of pain at the moment. I cannot praise the White House highly enough!
