    My Nan moved into Whitehaven in December 2023 and has settled in very well. We are so very grateful to all the staff, as they are so lovely and kind, and nothing is too much trouble, we have lots of updated on my Nan's health, etc. Would recommend this care home, and how lovely the staff are.

    Whitehaven is amazing! My grandmother moved in last December and from day one, all the staff made her (and her family) feel very welcome. The staff are always so friendly, kind and caring. They take such good care of their residents, that nothing is too much trouble for them.

    As a family, we are so happy that we chose Whitehaven as a care home for my mum. Beverly and her lovely staff look after my mum so well. They treat her with respect and kindness. Mum is happy there.

    My mum has been a resident at Whitehaven for a year and a half. From the beginning, the staff and owner have been so kind, patient and professional treating myself and my mum with care. I have learnt a lot about Mum's illness through spending time at Whitehaven.

    Mum was only in Whitehaven Care Home for a short time in the later stages of life, but in that time, the manager and her team made her very comfortable. They were very kind and attentive and very welcoming to myself and our family. She had a lovely downstairs room with views on to the garden.

    My late sister-in-law lived at Whitehaven for five years. The care she received was amazing, she was always clean and tidy and neatly dressed, and her room had lots of her personal possessions to make it homely.

    Amazing home and staff. I couldn't have found a better home for my mum.

    Whitehaven has more than surpassed my expectations. When looking at care homes for my aunt who suffers from Alzheimer's, I wanted somewhere where she would be well cared for, treated with dignity, her individuality would be respected, any interests encouraged and where she would also be stimulated.
