Other reviews said:
“I am extremely impressed with Wilhelmina House. It is a lovely environment and the care provided is of a high standard. It gives a professional, well-run, clean impression when we have visited and the staff seem caring, friendly and attentive.” Stepdaughter of resident
“Whilst the surroundings are comfortable and the garden is beautiful, the thing I find so special is the staff. They are always so welcoming. They have all treated my mum with such love, care, and dignity as she is nearing the end of her life. Nothing is too much trouble for them.” Daughter of resident
“My sister came to Wilhelmina House after suffering Covid-19. She was at a very low ebb, and was frightened and depressed. The excellent love and care that she has received there has been a major factor in her recovery. She is delighted with the care that she receives, and has decided to stay at Wilhelmina House on a permanent basis. The staff are always friendly and helpful when I visit, and they are very careful about the Covid-19 restrictions in order to protect all the residents and staff, as well as the visitors. This is an excellent, well-run care home. I commend the John Whitgift Foundation for the provision of these care facilities.” Brother of resident
