It was a massive relief when we finally lined up Callywhite care home in Dronfield for my mother who is suffering from Dementia. The facility is well set up, homely, clean and tidy. The management and staff have been outstanding in every aspect of the care for my mother. Mum is the happiest and most settled she has been since this terrible disease took hold. Having spent many hours in the facility while visiting my mum, I have been very impressed with the professionalism of the staff, particularly when dealing with difficult situations. They are clearly well trained in dealing with residents with dementia, while still being compassionate and caring. They manage to make my mum smile with pleasantries, lots of tea and a little banter. Both my brother and I live on the opposite side of the world, so good communication between the care home management and us is key, Callywhite have been excellent on this front.

From the first time my brother and I viewed The Callywhite we knew we had found a real gem. Mum moved into the home in October 2023 and settled very quickly. This was due to the fact that every single staff member made her feel welcome and met her needs without hesitation. They became friends to mum but also to all the family. I thought I would find it difficult visiting her not in her own home but how wrong was I! Sadly we lost mum a few weeks ago and the staff were as upset as us which I think says it all.I can't thank them enough for the care and attention they gave her.As a family we will be forever grateful. If I could give ten stars,I would.

From the first moment we arrived at The Callywhite we felt assured, welcomed and so happy with our choice. The whole team are so friendly and helpful and never stop. It's a lovely, calm, quiet and caring space and everyone talks to residents, family and to hear chatter between the residents is a big plus. From the initial call, to moving in, everything was dealt with calmly and nothing was too much trouble, and a very warm welcome was received. Mum settled straight away and I'm sure this was because Mum was allowed her space, her time but she knew someone was there to help even reassuring hugs and words from Team Callywhite were so appreciated by Mum.

My father has been in The Callywhite Care Home for about 18 months now and he seems as happy as we can hope for. The home is in very good condition and is constantly being updated to make sure it is clean and safe for the residents.

My mother-in-law has been at The Callywhite since September 2022 after it became unsafe for her to live alone. With the help of the lovely staff and Manager, she settled really well. She has continued to be happy and settled at the care home since she moved there, and is really well looked after by all the staff, who are all really friendly and keep us informed of everything. As a family, we couldn't have wished for a better home, thank you.

I have nothing but good to say about The Callywhite. Since my family member moved in, the staff have been brilliant, they are kind, supportive and understanding of all her needs. The care they provide is of a high standard and all staff are patient, friendly and dedicated to their jobs. My family member is kept safe and comfortable, and I couldn't recommend a more caring environment than The Callywhite.

My mother moved into The Callywhite Care Home many years ago and died there recently of severe dementia. In the days when my mum was mobile, we initially attempted to keep Mum in her own home with care workers calling three times a day. This just confused my mother more. She was either frightened being alone at home or scared of why care workers were there. As my mother started piling chairs and tables in front of the door so they couldn't access, we knew it was time for a care home. Me and my sister expected my mother not to settle but at least she'd be safe. To our delight, within a few days, my mother settled. Some days she thought she was staff herself, other days she thought she'd been there years, a few days she thought she was married to another resident. Whatever the situation, The Callywhite staff were amazing and I can't thank them enough. They have many activities, nice rooms, the care home doesn't smell like a care home and the atmosphere is so friendly, I recommend them highly.

Mum moved into the Callywhite two years ago in February 2022 and was made to feel like she was at home from day one by all the staff and other residents. All the way through her time at The Callywhite, she was cared for and loved by the staff, and nothing was too much trouble for them when caring for her. We cannot thank them enough for the support that they provided to Mum and ourselves and would highly recommend The Callywhite to anybody.

After a couple of respite visits, mum moved in as a full-time resident and seems to have settled in nicely. All of the staff are kind, caring and helpful. If there is something that mum doesn't fancy eating, there always seem to be other options available. Her room is nice with a large bathroom. There are regular activities planned throughout the week from dog visits to singers to playing dominoes and doing crafts.

Mum, has now been with the care home for several months and has settled in well, the home is well kept, all the staff are kind and courteous and she is being well looked after in a safe and caring environment. Nothing appears to be much trouble and as a family, we're grateful to the home for all the support we've received in what has been a difficult time. Thank you.

Very happy with the care mum gets from all the staff at Callywhite. Staff are approachable, helpful and very caring, showing utmost respect and care at all times. The staff are always happy to help with any questions or worries regarding mum and her care. It’s reassuring knowing mum is safe and cared for 24/7 and everyone goes above and beyond to help in any way possible at all times. Everyone is friendly which makes all the difference too, overall, I am highly satisfied with Callywhite Care Home. Highly recommended. Residents are encouraged with crafting activities, and great entertainment on a regular basis. For residents and families, alike, bedrooms are very nice, getting cleaned on a daily basis, and laundry is done on-site. Choice of 2 meals at lunchtime, cooked breakfast, drinks and biscuits throughout the day between meals. If I had any negativity it’s that the carpet in the lounge needs replacing, and the fabric chairs too, otherwise a lovely care home. Happy for mum to be there.

Mum was only with you for a few short weeks but in that time she was cared for with kindness, respect and sensitivity. She told us in her first week " they are very kind here you know". This was a great re-assurance to us as was the friendly caring atmosphere that we always experienced when visited. As Mum needed to be cared for in a home during the last few weeks of her life we are very pleased she was in Callywhite.

The Callywhite Care Home looked after my Mother from December 2023 to February 2024. From the very first visit until mum’s passing away, all of the staff there treated mum, myself and all mum’s relatives with the utmost respect and empathy. By all of the staff I mean everyone, cleaning staff, catering staff, activity coordinators, carers and management. The atmosphere in the home was that of one large family. Mum was feisty, and the gentleness, humour and positivity in The Callywhite meant that mum felt very much at home. We all needed a lot of help and understanding over the period that mum was in The Callywhite, and this was provided proactively and empathetically. We cannot thank you all enough.

It was the autumn of 2022, my husband and I were looking for a care home in the area to accommodate my mum with dementia. After checking out 4 in the Dronfield region, Callywhite Care Home was modern and had comfortable bedrooms. Mum moved into the home just before Christmas 2022. A wrenching experience for Mum and the family, but made easier by the caring staff. Mum is very happy, thanks to the home manager and all staff.

My mum has advanced dementia and has been a resident at the care home for a year. I take great comfort from the fact that Mum is being looked after extremely well by the excellent care staff. She's always clean, treated with dignity and the staff are very friendly, caring and available to talk to. The home is nicely decorated, clean and welcoming. I am also kept informed of Mum's progress between visits. Having viewed many care homes in the past, I feel such relief that Mum is being cared for at this one. I would highly recommend The Callywhite.

My mum went into The Callywhite Care Home in March 2020, just when Covid hit the UK. During the time Mum has been a resident I have been so impressed with her care. She is happy and settled. The carers are wonderful and treat her with such kindness, care and respect at all times. They are always approachable and happy to answer any concerns. Mum is always clean and well-presented and enjoys having her hair done at the salon. The care home has a brilliant activities team who ensure that there are so many events and activities taking place to keep the residents interested and engaged which are adapted as required to ensure they can be accessed by all the residents. The home is newly decorated, clean and comfortable. Mum's room is always spotless. Meals are varied and home cooked. The home manager is professional, caring, supportive and always happy to chat over any concerns and if required notify the doctor or outside services. I would happily recommend The Callywhite.

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.
