The White House opened in 2003 under the management of Janes Care Group. This spacious care home is based in the rural and affluent village of Eggington, near Leighton Buzzard, and provides purpose built accommodation for people over the age of 65, who can no longer live at home, with a specific focus on people living with dementia.
Newly renovated and refurbished, The White House offers:
- 25 rooms – including doubles and ensuites, shower rooms and bathrooms
- 2 lounges
- Large dining room
- ‘Snug’ rooms and private areas
- Hairdressing room
- Computer room
- Medication room
- Meeting room
- Laundry and store room
- Garden and decking area
- Lift access to all areas
- Pet friendly – registered with the Cinnamon Trust
The White House is one of the larger homes within the Group offering lots of communal spaces and private areas for peace and quiet. The computer room enables residents to skype family members and keep in touch via email, with larger keyboards available for those with poor sight or co-ordination.
Given the focus on living with dementia, security and safety is of the upmost importance and the majority of our rooms are away from stairwells or accessible only via a key-pad door-locking system.
Our staff are qualified and fully trained, and we are regularly inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and Central Bedfordshire Compliance Officers. We aim to meet the highest standards in care and as such hold monthly residents and staff meetings, as well as an annual satisfaction survey. A monthly newsletter is distributed to keep residents and families updated.
The White House offers a real family environment, where living ‘a normal life’ is actively promoted. The open house policy means that visitors can come whenever a resident wishes and they can even book to have a meal with a resident. For married couples, where a husband or wife can no longer live at home, sharing a meal together is important. Our double rooms also mean that couples, who move to The White House together and wish to share a room, can do so.
Regular outings, events and activities are organised for the residents on a weekly basis by activity staff at The White House, this includes Sunday trips to the local church.
