What inspectors found

Inspected 2019-02-09

  • Is this home safe?

    Good
    The Safe domain was rated Good at the last inspection in September 2022. The published summary does not include specific detail about staffing ratios, falls management, medicines handling, or infection control. A Good rating in this domain indicates inspectors did not identify significant safety concerns at the time of their visit. The home has 38 beds and cares for people with dementia, a group for whom night staffing and consistent care relationships are particularly important safety factors. No specific concerns were recorded in the published findings.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the care effective?

    Good
    The Effective domain was rated Good at the last inspection in September 2022. This domain covers whether staff have the right training and skills, whether care plans reflect individual needs, and whether your parent's health is actively monitored and supported. The published summary does not include specific detail about dementia training content, GP access arrangements, or how care plans are written and reviewed. A Good rating indicates inspectors did not find significant gaps in these areas at the time of the visit.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is this home caring?

    Good
    The Caring domain was rated Good at the last inspection in September 2022. This is the domain that covers whether staff are kind, whether your parent is treated with dignity, and whether their individuality is respected. The published summary does not include specific observations, staff interactions, or quotes from residents or relatives. A Good rating indicates inspectors found broadly satisfactory evidence of care and dignity at the time of the visit.

  • Is the home responsive?

    Good
    The Responsive domain was rated Good at the last inspection in September 2022. This domain covers whether the home provides activities that suit individuals, whether it responds to changing needs, and whether end-of-life care is planned. The published summary does not include specific detail about the activity programme, individual engagement for people with advanced dementia, or how the home handles requests or complaints. A Good rating indicates inspectors did not find significant gaps at the time of the visit.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the home well-led?

    Requires improvement
    The Well-led domain was rated Requires Improvement at the last inspection in September 2022. This is the only domain below Good and it is a significant finding. Well-led covers the management culture, governance systems, learning from incidents, and whether staff feel supported to raise concerns. The published summary does not explain the specific reasons for the Requires Improvement rating. A registered manager, Mrs Nicola Jane Beach, and a nominated individual, Mrs Jill Veitch, are named in the registration record. A monitoring review was carried out in July 2023 and at that point no evidence was found requiring a re-rating.

    The team at White Rose Lodge specialises in caring for people over 65, with particular expertise in dementia care. They work to ensure each resident receives personalised support that respects their individual needs and preferences. Staff here have specific training in dementia care, helping them respond appropriately to the changing needs that can come with the condition. The home structures its daily routines and environment to provide reassurance and familiarity for residents living with dementia. All areas worth probing directly during a visit.

The DCC Verdict

Our editorial view, built from the three lenses: what families tell us, what inspectors record, and how the home sits against good dementia-care practice.

67/ 100

DCC Family Score

White Rose Lodge scores 67 out of 100. Four domains were rated Good at the last inspection, but Well-led was rated Requires Improvement, which pulls the overall family score down and raises specific questions about oversight and accountability that are worth exploring on a visit.

Homes in Yorkshire & Humberside typically score 68–82.
DCC Recommendation

Worth a visit

White Rose Lodge in Bridlington was rated Good overall at its last inspection in September 2022, with Good ratings across Safe, Effective, Caring, and Responsive. The home is registered for 38 residents, specialising in older adults and dementia care. The registered manager at the time of inspection is named in the record, and the home has been operating without a dormancy period. The one significant concern is the Requires Improvement rating for Well-led, which means inspectors identified gaps in leadership or governance that were not yet resolved. The published summary does not set out the specific reasons, so this needs to be explored directly with the home. It is also worth noting that the last full inspection was in September 2022, meaning the findings are now over two years old and may not reflect the current position. Before committing, ask the manager what has changed since the inspection, what actions were taken in response to the Well-led finding, and whether a re-inspection has taken place or is scheduled.
