Mum moved into Westbourne about 10 months ago. She is very happy there and loves the way she is cared for. All of the staff are excellent and extremely caring. She settled in very quickly and we have no worries at all. Every time I visit, she has tales to tell of the fun she has had with the varied
activities and day trips. I could not recommend them highly enough.
Reply from Frances O'Shaughnessy, Business Administrator at Westbourne Care HomeThank very much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review, it means so much to all the team. It is a pleasure caring for your wonderful mum.

My father has been here since 18th February 2026, and I can honestly say that he has settled in well. I have found all the staff very friendly and helpful. They are all passionate about their work. I cannot find one single thing to criticise. I would thoroughly recommend this care home to everyone.
My father, James, went out with many of the others yesterday on a canal barge; they had a lovely time. I rate Westbourne Care Home 5 stars.
Reply from Helen Haughton, Operations Manager at Westbourne Care HomeThank you so much for your kind words. Dad is an absolute joy to have living with us and we are so glad that you and he are happy with everything.

It was an emotional decision to put my 93 year old Mum into a care home, but as soon as I walked into Westbourne Care Home I felt the warmth, cre and professionalism was outstanding. The carer who showed us around was kind, informative and compassionate. My mum has been a resident for 2 weeks now and
is very settled. The staff are caring, warm and understanding, nothing is too much trouble! Food and activities are fantastic. Thank you Westbourne!
Reply from Helen Haughton, Registered Manager at Westbourne Care HomeLisa, Thank you for your lovely review. We love having Mum with us, she brightens up our days. It is lovely to see the two of you together with big smiles and really settling into the Westbourne family.

Mum has been at Westbourne Care Home since July 2024. She has advanced dementia and also cannot walk so needs help with everything. The staff are wonderful with her; they are caring and patient and always treat mum with respect. Added to this they are cheerful. I visit twice weekly, there is always
a cup of tea on offer, and staff update me as to how mum is and what she has been doing. Mum is happy and settled. The meals are varied and plentiful. There are a wide range of activities offered throughout the week to keep residents entertained and the staff go that extra mile in meeting the residents needs.
I would recommend Westbourne to anyone looking for a friendly, happy care home.
Reply from Helen Haughton, Operations Manager at Westbourne Care HomeDebra, thank you so much for taking the time to post a review. It is a joy to have Mum with us and to see you during your visits.

My wife has been a resident since November 24 and has dementia and mobility problems. I visit Westbourne 4 times a week and I'm always greeted with a warm hello from all members of the staff.
I'm very pleased with my wife's care, she's always clean, nicely dressed and cared for. All the staff are
very calm, patient and loving with her and the other residents in her wing.
She can't remember ever eating any of the food! But having sampled the food on a number of occasions it's always very tasty and varied. Cups of tea and snacks are always on hand.
Her room is always neat, tidy and spotlessly clean. I'm very grateful for the care Westbourne gives my wife.
Reply from Helen Haughton, Operations Manager at Westbourne Care HomeThank you for taking the time to provide such a positive review Allan. We love the joy your wife brings to the Home and we look forward to your visits.

As my mum has been at Westbourne for over 4 years this is my second review.
My mum has always been and still is really happy there.
Westbourne is like one big happy family with a great atmosphere, the staff are really friendly, happy, work hard and always willing to have a chat. They care for the
residents with dignity and compassion.
Any issues I have with my mum are dealt with promptly.
All the meals are good with plenty of variety and choice.
The activities lady is fantastic with all the residents. There is always lots of different activities going on and the residents and staff have so much fun. The staff love dressing up for different events, which the residents really enjoy. In the summer they went on trips to Weston super mare, a wildlife park and various others. I would not hesitate in recommending this care home for anyone looking for a place for their loved one.
Reply from Frances O'Shaughnessy, Business Administrator at Westbourne Care HomeThank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a glowing review!

My mother was very happy at Westbourne, and did not want to leave. In the 18 months she was there, she was well looked after by the staff who did their best to look after her in difficult circumstances.
Reply from Helen Haughton, Operations Manager at Westbourne Care HomeThank you so much Iain for your review which is a good balance against your sister's previous comments. We loved your Mother's time with us and we all miss her greatly. Thank you for recognising that the wonderful Staff Team sometimes have to work in challenging situations with family dynamics, the whole team really appreciate that.

We removed Mum from Westbourne at the end of October 2025 due to being unhappy with the care she was receiving. For the 18months or so that Mum was a resident, there seemed to be problem after problem. Initially, furniture was dumped not far from Mum's window & we had to nag to get it removed. She was
never properly assessed for a DoLS (deprivation of liberty safeguard) despite my constant request, as I knew Mum didn't have 'full capacity'. Mum's personal care was pretty shocking. I constantly found dirty underwear in her drawers. Her toenails were left to grow so long, that Mum struggled to get shoes on. Staff turnover was horrendous. The new manageress lasted five weeks in the summer! Communication was awful. The phone would ring & ring and emails quite often unanswered - even at head office level. The home even had the audacity to report me to the authorities saying I removed Mum against her will! We have POA & have always had Mum's best interest at heart.
Reply from Josie Dalli, Director at Westbourne Care HomeWe loved having your Mum with us & she loved being here and that is why we were so worried about her leaving so distressed and questioning why. We recognise (tried to explain & offered Social Worker support to help which you refused) that she does not have full capacity, however, she does have capacity to decide what she wants to wear and who she wants to spend time with etc. We would never override her own decisions if she was safe as you asked us to (and no care home ever should). She had great friends at Westbourne and was a key member of all our brilliant WellBeing activities. She refused chiropody footcare and you failed to help us when we asked you to support us in trying to encourage her. Your Mum was always immaculate and DoLs was fully assessed as you know. I am so sorry that you feel this way, we all tried our very best for your Mum and it was you who we could not satisfy, not her. Fortunately, your brother was very grateful for her care and sent chocolates to say thank you.

I wanted to go into respite care to give my husband a break from being my full time carer. I wasn't sure where I should go or what I should do. Through the council I was placed at Westbourne Care Home. I can only say positive things bout Westbourne Care. They have made me feel really comfortable and
at ease. They have helped me with washing, dressing, getting in and out of bed. Also having nice meals. All of the staff have been really friendly and helpful. Would not hesitate to go back.

We were initially really worried about Mum going into residential care. At 90 years old, and having lived with us as part of our family for the last decade on our smallholding, we knew this would be a very hard move for us all. Mum had grown up on a farm and lived in the countryside all of her life
but we could no longer cope with the lack of mobility that Mum was faced with and her inability to move without significant equipment and the support of two carers. Mum was with Westbourne for 5 months, and whilst her decline was sad to see due to many illnesses including blood cancer, we could never fault the care or compassion shown by the staff at Westbourne - it was first class. During the last couple of weeks, when Mum was moved to end of life, the support was outstanding and the staff made what was an incredibly hard time far easier to deal with due to their kindness, attention and dignity. I will never forget the commitment and love shown by the staff to Mum.
Reply from Frances OShaughnessy, Business Administrator at Westbourne Care HomeThank you for such a lovely review, it means so much to all the staff at Westbourne to hear such praising words. Caring for your wonderful mum was a pleasure, and we are so pleased that she was happy during her time at Westbourne.
