Care Homes Owned by Leaders of Worship & Preachers Homes (LWPHomes)

If you are looking for a kind and well run care home then look no further. Mum passed away in June having spent several years in Westerley. The wonderful and characterful staff go above and beyond and have been so respectful and helped Mum enjoy her days with them despite her challenges. Living the other end of the country, I could always get staff on the phone or email if needed between visits. The staff genuinely seem to enjoy working at Westerley and this is down to them making the very best possible environment for residents and staff. It certainly rates very highly on both elements - 'care' and 'home' which can be hard to find and makes Westerley special. Thank you for everything.

Thank you very much Westerley!

As a nurse myself, I recognise good care when I see it and the staff at Westerley provided exceptional care in every aspect.

I have had my mum living with me for over 7 years so understandably we were both very anxious about going into full time care but from the day I had a chat, then took my mum to view and now my mum has been there for a month, they have been asbolutely brilliant, every staff member works so hard to make sure she is ok and well looked after, from the managers who are hands, to the carers, to the domestic staff. Food is excellent.

My short stay was very satisfactory. It helped me through a post operative period. The residents were all very well turned out and catered to. A remote control for the TV would have been nice. I can't fault any of the staff. They were all friendly and helpful.

My husband spent a week for respite. He really enjoyed the food, there was always a selection available and very well cooked. The care was a very good standard. There were activities to get involved with daily. The bathroom facilities were excellent with an electric chair so he could manage to have a bath.

As and when I reach old age it would be my first choice home from all the that homes I visit. I would recommend this home to everyone.

The resident has spent 6 months under care. A difficult time for everyone concerned following a traumatic event in January. Care has been lovingly given which has made the burden easier to deal with.

My mum has some complex physical needs due to her parkinsons but that never means the staff treat her any different. She is given time and spoken to with respect and dignity.

I feel the whole Westerley team truly care for my mum.

My experience of this home is limited to a weeks respite care but I am familiar with two other care homes so can make a relative assessment. The strength of this home is that the staff are the best caring team I have encountered and the new managers really dedicated to improvements all round following on advice CQC report 2 years or so ago. My disappointment lasted to the other residents, a dozen or so very old ladies wo are no longer able (or liking) to socialise, but this appears to be fairly typical of care homes these days. Room facilities, meals and activities are thoughtfully planned and changes remarkably low. The Christian origins of this home continue to be important.

I just wanted to write and say how wonderful Westerley Christian Care Home have been looking after our mum. She arrived really struggling to get up and walk, following a long hospital visit. She is now doing really well, enjoys socialising in the day in the conservatory. Eats well and joins in the activities, like drives up to the moors. She is now able to walk again with her Zimmer frame. She is calm and relaxed looking out onto the beautifully looked-after garden. We couldn't ask for more from the amazing kind care team. We feel very lucky to have found Westerley Christian Care Home.

Following the change of management, the visit seemed to have a better feel/connection with us. It seemed that the home was better organised, however, my mother has expressed she is not happy about being put to bed so late, so maybe some improvement here would help. The present manager seems to be more on the ball with getting things sorted for the residents.

Lunch, the main meal of the day, is unable to be properly enjoyed in my case, one at my table grumbles and moans as she eats. Another with eyes closed mainly 'eats' precariously, should residents like these be sat apart.

My mother, who is frail, reserved, dementia and anxiety sufferer has lived at Westerley for one year. We have found management, carers and all assistants helpful and incredibly kind and supportive and my mother's individual needs are met. I feel mother would not be cared for better or be happier anywhere else. The atmosphere of Westerley is friendly and welcoming and to visit at any time is a bonus. Thank you Westerley.

I am bedbound but still encouraged to move limbs where possible and not lie static in one position for long. In conclusion, the Home is not what I expected, it is comfortable, friendly and now feels like home.

For over three years as a resident at Westerley, my father has been looked after by every single carer as though he was their relative and treated with respect and friendship. I have nothing but praise for them all, especially during the past two years. Their encouragement and good humour after a fall, initially, lifted him and helped him to recover. He knows he has a safety net around him in case of an emergency. His physical, dietary and social needs are met and he loves and takes an interest in the garden, which he enjoys whenever he can. We are kept informed of any problems and our enquires are always dealt with promptly.

The staff at Westerley Christian Care Home are friendly, professional and always have time for questions etc. I don't know of the activities on offer, but I haven't checked the webpages.

The food is of a good standard, with varied menus and choices. Mum wants to return home to be with my dad but I am sure she will definitely miss everyone at Westerley when she does.

I spent four weeks in respite care following a fall at home. The staff at every level were kind and thoughtful and the general atmosphere at the home was very welcoming. I found the morning session of 'devotion' a lovely start to the day. That was followed by a morning session in the activities room which gave mental and physical exercise and also gave an opportunity to integrate with other residents, which was very beneficial.
