Review from K H (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 March 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Mum was moved into Westwood following a stroke. At 93 she suffers from Alzheimer's dementia, and diabetes. Her needs are greater than we could manage at home. We cannot fault the genuine care and concern the manager and staff have shown to mum. They have exceeded our expectations. This has been a very emotional time for the family. Paul and his team have met her needs with kindness and compassion. We look forward to visiting and being welcomed as part of the Westwood family. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

Review from Tammy K (Niece of Resident) published on 3 February 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
The level of personal care at this rest home is outstanding. Staff genuinely take the time to know each resident as an individual, including their routines, preferences, and needs. This attention to detail has made a world of difference to my aunt, making her feel comfortable, respected, and truly at home. It's clear that care here goes beyond a job - it's given with kindness, patience, and understanding. I feel welcomed every time I visit my aunt. The staff always have time to listen to my concerns and respond appropriately. My aunt has made super progress and managed to get her health back.

Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We are genuinely sorry that your mother's short stay with us did not meet your expectations, but we feel it is important to address several points to provide clarity and reassurance for others reading this review.

Review from Dr L M E (Cousin of Resident) published on 31 March 2021 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
A man with a mild handicap and eccentric needs was cared for well in all respects. He found in Westwood, a kind home. When sick, he was promptly and capably attended to. All communication with the home was helpful. We recommend this family-run establishment, unreservedly.
