Overall Experience

Wonderful, warm welcome from staff as I entered. All staff introduced themselves and asked my name and permission to use it.
Most caring, kind approach to residents I've seen in any care home I've visited.
Home is beautifully looked after, immaculately kept - more like a hotel.

Overall Experience

The care given to my Dad was exceptional. I am very grateful for the rest-bite care given during this period and in fact it is the second time that we have done this. What is lovely to see is the personal energy given by each of the care team to make my Dad's day the best it can be. The staff clearly

love what they do and most of the team hadn't changed and recognised him from the first visit. The food is fabulous. The way we are welcomed into the home too makes each visit special. The activities on offer Dad loved getting involved in, I have never seen Dad do pilates before - he loved it and made me join in aswell! This is a very special home with a care team that made Dad's stay a special one.

Reply from Paul Middleton-Russell, Senior General Manager at Barchester Westergate House Care Home

Dear Stephen, we can't thank you enough for your exceptional review, following your father's returning respite stay with us. We are truly humbled with your beautiful comments about the whole team. We are blessed with the longevity of our staff team, who always strive to make Westergate House a special place to live, work and visit. Receiving feedback such as yours is truly warming and I will pass your praise to our team, which is lovely for them to hear. It was our pleasure to look after your father once more, do let us know if you have both now taken up Pilates, you are always welcome to join us here for another class! Best wishes and kind regards, Paul.

Overall Experience

My aunt was looked after with dignity and good humoured friendly by all Red Oaks staff. Her preferences and decisions were respected alongside staff's encouragement to accept help when necessary. She was able to live her last couple of years as independently as was possible, vital given her life and

character. The end of life care was professional, loving and compassionate with all staff members popping in with a friendly word for her (and us!). Thank you Red Oaks.

Reply from Linda Ryan, Senior General Manager at Barchester Red Oaks Care Home

It was a pleasure to care for your aunt at both Red Oaks and Rayner Court our independent living facility. Thank you for all your kind words with regards to the staff it is important to us that everyone is treated with dignity respecting individuals dignity.

Since mum came here in August 2024, I have been impressed and moved by the loving, caring, kind natures of the staff. I never lose sleep because Mum is here in Marriott House.

Overall Experience

My Gran moved into Westergate House in January 2025. She is so happy, and her health has improved immensely. The staff are exceptional, and it is thanks to their hard work and dedication, that this is such a wonderful home for my Gran to live. The staff are friendly, kind, caring and nothing is too

much trouble. It feels like one big family. The food is homemade and tastes incredible. There are lots of activities for residents to participate in if they wish to do so. There is a minibus, so residents can go on outings. My Grans dog is allowed to visit, which she and other residents enjoy. Most importantly, I can leave my Gran knowing that she is receiving the best care from the best people and in the best place. If you are looking for a care home for a loved one, I highly recommend Westergate House

Reply from Paul Middleton-Russell, Senior General Manager at Barchester Westergate House Care Home

Dear Liane, thank you so much for your stunning review of the whole team here at Westergate House, I have shared your glowing feedback with the team; which is lovely for them to hear. I am so glad that you feel your Gran is in a wonderful home, that you leave the home knowing she is receiving the best care, and of course, that her dog can visit too, which benefits not only her; but her fellow residents. It is always a pleasure to see you all when you visit and it is heart warming to hear that you feel like we are one big family. It is a privilege to care for your gran and we can't thank you enough for your kind praise.

Overall Experience

My family and I celebrated my husband's 82nd birthday today today by having Sunday lunch in the conservatory at Westergate House. There were eight of us, and we enjoyed the most delicious three course lunch. The table was laid beautifully, the service was impeccable and the food was superb.
I would

like to thank all the staff for all their hard work which made it so special. It was perfect for my husband, who didn't feel at all overwhelmed and seemed to really enjoy it. This is a testament to the care given by all the staff. Thank you all so very much from all my family.

Reply from Paul Middleton-Russell, Senior General manager at Barchester Westergate House Care Home

Dear Susan,I am so glad to hear that you and your family had a nice time celebrating your husband's Birthday. The conservatory is the ideal venue for a family occasion, and a lovely opportunity for you all to spend precious moments together. I'm pleased that your husband enjoyed his special day, and delighted that you and your family were happy with Chef's Sunday lunch, a definite treat! Thank you so much for taking the time to provide such wonderful feedback. I will pass on your lovely comments to the Westergate Team.Kind regards, and best wishes, to you and your family, PaulSenior general Manager

I was admitted to Westlake House Care Home for respite care after a fall at home when I needed hospital treatment.
My husband had been a resident at Westlake House Care Home for nine months, so my family knew I would receive very good care.
I am now a permanent resident.

Overall Experience

I can't speak highly enough about the way in which all staff at Barchester Westergate House Care Home take such good care of my parents, who came with differing needs. They are in different areas of the building but are able to meet up whenever they wish, kindly facilitated by the staff.
My parents

have very specific requirements about what they want and how they like things and the team manages to successfully navigate their needs and requirements to a very high standard.
The home has the feel of a small country hotel and it is always a delight to visit and enjoy a coffee and slice of delicious, homemade cake with my parents in the bistro area. The food and dining environment are excellent and there is a fantastic range of entertainment provided to suit both their needs.
From the second one arrives at reception to the time one leaves, all staff are friendly, helpful, welcoming, efficient with a can-do attitude and I think it would be fair to say, above and beyond attitude.
Thank you so much.

Reply from Paul Middleton-Russell, Senior General Manager at Barchester Westergate House Care Home

We were thrilled to read your wonderful review. Thank you for taking the time to provide the feedback; it is fabulous to hear that your parents' needs are being met to a high standard, and it is a pleasure to have them both residing at Westergate House. The staff team are extremely pleased to hear your experience and love having you visit. We can only concur that chef's homemade cake is a great reason to visit the bistro! It's super to hear that your parents are enjoying the dining experience, and that you are always welcomed by the entire staff team. Thank you once again for reviewing the care and facilities at Westergate House. We look forward to seeing you soon. Kind regards, Paul.

Overall Experience

Our mum is currently a resident at Barchester Westlake House Care Home and had been for nine months following two weeks respite care.
The home is always welcoming, extremely clean, warm bright and sunny.
The staff are also very welcoming, caring, available to answer any queries etc.
The residents

are encouraged to dine together, if able, in the dining room. The food is always plentiful and flavoursome.
There are activities daily which residents are taken to if unable to manage themselves.
Westlake is not the nearest home to us however it was and is an excellent choice which I would not hesitate in recommending to anyone.
There has also been a new manager appointed in our time, her door is 'always open' and the manager is an asset to the team along with the admin assistant, home administrator and the whole nursing team and carers.
Mum is currently very poorly but I have peace of mind knowing she is cared for as well as I could if possible.
Thank you to you all.

Reply from Christine Sullivan, General Manager at Barchester Westlake House Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are so very proud of our team and will pass on your kind words, they will be delighted that their hard work and dedication has been recognised.

Overall Experience

My lovely mum was a resident in Memory Lane for over three years. The nursing and care that Mum received was outstanding. The leadership in the home is exemplary. The staff have been there a long time and get to know each resident. Residents get to know all who care for them, be they managers and admin

staff, nurses, carers, housekeepers, hospitality team, maintenance staff, activities team and all who run the home so smoothly. As a visitor, I have always had a warm welcome no matter when I have visited or for how long. The staff are truly amazing. The carers are kind, patient and understanding. The meals are of a very high, gourmet standard, beautifully presented and delicious. As a family, we have shared delightful meals with Mum, in delightful surroundings, including special birthdays and an amazing wedding breakfast. The care that Mum received at Barchester Westergate House Care Home for the last years of her life was exceptional. Their dignity, respect and kindness at the end will stay with me always.

My grandmother was given such wonderful treatment by Barchester Westergate House Care Home and their excellent staff. Grandma went in after a very traumatic time in hospital and another care home 3 and a half 5 years ago, and made such tremendous improvements. Her final years were a wonderful final

chapter in her life, and it was wonderful to know that she was so well looked after.
Thank you all so much for giving us a few extra years to spend with her.

Reply from Paul Middleton-Russell, Senior General Manager at Barchester Westergate House Care Home

Thank you for leaving Westergate House such a fabulous review. I have shared your kind words with the staff team and they were delighted to hear your positive feedback. Your grandmother was much-loved in the community and had a smile for everyone. We are so pleased the time she spent here was happy and enjoyed. We are thrilled that you were able to celebrate occasions as a family where your grandmother was a part of the shared togetherness. Wishing you and your family the very best. Kind regards.

Overall Experience

Our recently deceased Dad spent the last two and half years of his life at Red Oaks. We have nothing but praise for this care home and without exception, the staff who work there. He sometimes referred to it as his 'hotel' and it was that and so much more. He was treated at all times with great love

and affection and nothing was too much trouble for the carers and nursing staff. They made sure his final days were comfortable and dignified and for this and everything else, we are extremely grateful. We will miss you all.
