Our Story
Our home was set up and run by a local family for over 30 years before being sold to new owners in 2016. Since then, we have made significant improvements to the home and the quality of care we deliver to our residents. We pride ourselves on our family values, placing family at the heart of White Gables, and strive to provide a caring, safe environment for all our residents, while maintaining their individual personalities.
Our Services
We offer a range of services to cater to the individual needs of our residents. Our experienced Senior Carers work closely with each resident to develop and discuss their individual care needs on a monthly basis, which is built into their care plan within the home. We encourage family and friends to be involved in the care planning process, ensuring that our residents' health and happiness are paramount.
Our services include:
- Residential care, providing a safe and comfortable environment for our residents
- Dementia care, with qualified and trained staff to support and advise residents and their families throughout the process
- Respite care, offering short-term care for those who need a break from their usual caregivers
- Day care, providing a social and engaging environment for those who require additional support during the day
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a high-quality, safe, and exceptionally managed environment for all our residents and staff. We strive to treat everyone with honesty, integrity, and fairness in all aspects of our business, ensuring our residents receive the highest level of care and our staff receive the highest level of training and support.

Staff and Management Issues
The care home has received criticism for its staff and management. Some reviewers have reported that the staff can be rude and obstructive, and that they have been unhelpful in addressing concerns or questions from family members. One reviewer had a particularly negative experience, with a door being shut and locked in their face when they asked about retrieving unused sanitary wear. There have also been reports of a culture of staff covering each other's backs and being unresponsive to family queries.
Changes in Ownership and Atmosphere
The care home has undergone changes in ownership, which has led to a deterioration in the atmosphere and care provided. One reviewer reported that the home had a lovely, friendly, and homely atmosphere when it was family-owned, but since the takeover, the home has gradually deteriorated, and many long-term carers have left. The appointment of a new manager has been particularly problematic, with one reviewer citing it as the final straw.
Positive Experiences
On the other hand, some reviewers have reported positive experiences with the care home. One reviewer found the staff to be attentive and caring, and their aunt seemed happy and well looked after during visits. Another reviewer praised the care home as "homely" and "professional", stating that it provides excellent care.
Ratings and Inspections
The care home has received varying ratings, with some reviewers giving it 1 star and others giving it 5 stars. The Care Quality Commission has also given the home a good rating for its 2014 and 2016 inspections.
