Care Home Owned by Buckland Care Ltd in Herefordshire

and extremely well trained. The food is very good, mum put on weight and looked better for the move, this was a great delight to our family as she wasn't keen to leave her home. However, the staff were extremely kind and coaxed her along gently and she settled and was happy.
The facilities are wonderful with care and support tailored to the residents needs. Their privacy and dignity is taken very seriously, the management day to day is very impressive - everyone works together in whichever direction to make it a happy home. Mum loves the activities music in particular, even I have danced gently around the sitting room with her. Thank you all so much for your love and care of our mum.

provided is amazing- including a VE Day party! My grateful thanks to all the staff for being so kind to me and my wife. Thank you.

and all seem happy and settled. The home is clean and welcoming. All staff are friendly and exceptionally caring and professional.

truly grateful to all concerned.

was a home away from home for Dad and all staff were classed as family. Cleanliness of the home was spotless, there was always someone cleaning, even with an extendable feather duster. The activities were fantastic with something going on for all, from relaxation, music, fitness/sport, wellbeing, craft, religion. I would highly recommend West Bank to anyone looking to use for either respite or full time care. Thank you.

important!
My dad was resident at West Bank until he passed away 26th November 2024 and I wouldn't have wanted him to be anywhere else.

treated as adults, able to make their own decisions and choices. There are a number of lounges which enables residents to choose what company and activity they want. Mum likes to be active and there are activities every single day, including weekends. There are regular trips out and Mum has been on a narrow boat trip, to garden centres, tea dances and concerts. Mum has a strong Christian faith. Whenever possible she is taken to church on Sundays, and the service is streamed to the home on days when they don't attend. The manager and staff are very approachable and never too busy to help.

is the dedication and compassion of the staff. They are not only highly trained but also deeply invested in my father's well-being, taking the time to get to know him personally and cater to his individual needs. This has made a tremendous difference in his comfort and quality of life. Daily activities are varied and engaging, helping to keep the residents both mentally and physically active. Whether it's music therapy, art, or group games, there's always something going on to keep my dad entertained and stimulated, which we truly appreciate. The cleanliness of the home is also worth mentioning-it is impeccable.

home had nothing to hide and that you could see what went on, on a typical day. The staff have been nothing but caring and helpful. We have seen a dramatic improvement in Mum's physical and mental health as she is no longer afraid of being alone or falling. There are daily activities if residents want to get involved. I would highly recommend West Bank, we have nothing but praise for everyone who works there.

trips to tea parties.

a welcome whenever I visit, giving me the reassurance that my visits make a valid contribution to her wellbeing, when a dental crisis arose earlier this year, West Bank's immediate response resulted in the issue being resolved with new dentures within three weeks. She could not be in safer hands.

you West Bank we very much appreciate all that you do. You are amazing.

for a chat. The weekly activities are varied and very well organised, there is always something fun to do! The food is lovely and well-presented. Tea and a selection of cakes are served every afternoon. The rooms are comfortable and well equipped and we were able to take her own recliner chair etc to make it feel like home. I can honestly say I look forward to going there.
The staff are fast becoming friends and we are so grateful to them for the excellent care they provide. I would not hesitate to recommend West Bank to my friends and family. Thank you so much West Bank, we would never have navigated this very difficult time without you all.

has received has been second to none. West Bank also really does feel like a home. I have only seen residents treated with great kindness and respect. Residents are very much made to feel part of a community with a busy programme of excellent activities, entertainment and trips out. The building and gardens are immaculate and beautifully kept and I love how West Bank embraces celebrations for its residents such as Christmas, The Coronation and national sporting events. West Bank is a benchmark for how all residential homes should be. Thank you to all the fabulous staff.
