The Callywhite is an excellent care home which benefits from being designed for dementia patients.so that it is a safe environment for residents at all times. I had good experience of another home where my mother- in- law was resident for her final years so I had no hesitation in trusting The
Callywhite to care for my wife'when due to her dementia she needed the care that I was no longer able to provide. I wish to praise all staff who are so cheerful, kind and welcoming and this is across the spectrum from the manager and administrator to all the carers. I never cease to be impressed with the love and care they provide to all residents and the endless patience that doing so requires. I know my wife is safe and well cared for and I could ask for no more.

The Callywhite is an excellent care home with high quality accommodation, a good location and, most importantly, wonderful staff. The level of care combined with respect, compassion and good humour is truly impressive. Communications with relatives are excellent, and I experienced many instances
of flexibility and responsiveness to individual needs or requests. A wide range of entertainments and activities is organised to cater for all tastes. My mother particularly loved the visits of various animals including owls and a miniature pony. There are countless examples of where staff went above and beyond their duties; just one example is the caring and imaginative way they organised Christmas Day celebrations and carried them out with such good humour despite missing their own day at home. I am truly in awe of their dedication and kindness.

I am always reassured by the caring and kind attitude of the staff at the Callywhite. My mum is well cared for and is allowed to wander in a safe manner around the home. All the staff from house keepers, maintenance staff, carers and social organisers are always friendly and welcoming.
I am very
impressed by the contribution of the social activities staff who are exceptional in their loving and gentle approach to the residents. They work hard to arrange a programme of activities for the residents and the Christmas events programme was amazing! Mum is often unable to access the social activities in a meaningful way but is still welcomed and encouraged to take part.
The administrator is always welcoming to visitors and readily available for any queries.
Thank you to all the staff at the Callywhite for all your hard work and care.

The Callywhite was recommended to us as the perfect place for Mum to live, after independent living was no longer an option due to frailty and decreased mobility. She needed help with day to day living but also plenty of company, conversation, television, laughter, puzzles, jigsaws and frequent
cups of tea!
We made a preliminary visit and with the availability of a room overlooking the park and a very positive first impression of the staff, building and facilities, the decision was made.
We didn't look anywhere else.
She's been in her home from home for about three months now....settled, happy, well cared for and with peace of mind for the family.

After visiting Callywhite care home we were in no doubt this was the place for mums respite. The staff were lovely kind caring people and we felt reassured that mum would be well looked after. One week turned into a permanent residence as mum decided it was the place she wanted to be in. The
facilities were excellent and the care was superb. Mum was treated with care and dignity by all. The staff always made us feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Unfortunately mums stay was quite short but the love and care extended to her and our family was outstanding. I would highly recommend Callywhite to anyone who is looking for high quality care for a loved one. We certainly experienced this for mum and are extremely grateful for the care she received.

Excellent staff who treated our father, father in law, husband, Uncle, cousin and friend with the utmost care, respect and gave him love and dignity in his final 17 months.
The care and support that you gave to our family in the final days of his life will never be forgotten.
We hope that you are
getting plenty of use out of the staff coffee machine and we will pop in to see you soon.
Once again, Thank you so much

Mum has been here for quite a few years and I've always been really happy with the care she's received, progressing through the final stages of dementia. The staff are fantastic, kind, caring; I cannot fault their dedication - Thank you.

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.

Wonderful care home. Lovely caring staff. nothing is too much trouble. They all demonstrate genuine care for all the residents.
Well led by the manager who is always approachable if I have any concerns. Very happy with my Mum's care.

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.
03 April 2024
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.
05 March 2024
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.
04 March 2024
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.
