When it became clear my mother needed more help and care for her needs, my sister and I had to make the difficult decision to place her in a more, safer environment. We tried 2 previous care homes where she was not happy and settled. A previous carer that was visiting my mother at home suggested Westlands. My sister and I went to visit the care home and were extremely impressed with the staff, cleanliness and ambience of the home. We felt comfortable to place mum into Westlands. We were allowed to visit at any time and always found mum clean, well dressed and comfortable. The staff are amazing, and the care is second to none. Since my mother has been in Westlands, she has been happy and settled. My sister and I are more relaxed now knowing she is being looked after so well. During the pandemic, we have been kept up to date with emails, video calls, photographs and WhatsApp. We would definitely recommend Westlands to anybody who has to make the same difficult decision we had to.

My mother has been a resident at Westlands. She was very happy there, and in particular, she felt secure and safe as she was becoming more infirm. She could not have been in better hands in the time leading up to her death. I witnessed professional care and friendship. She was treated with dignity, kindness, respect and humanity. This afforded family members certain peace of mind, and we are grateful.
Throughout that time, I can honestly say I never had the slightest doubt that we had chosen the best home, and the best level of care possible for Mum. The staff gave Mum a...
Throughout that time, I can honestly say I never had the slightest doubt that we had chosen the best home, and the best level of care possible for Mum. The staff gave Mum a personalised care plan full of warmth and affection, and there were many occasions where we saw staff going out of their way to be helpful, friendly and caring even when, towards the end of her stay, Mum was confined to her bed and needed special care.
The building is spacious, and well equipped, with an outdoor terrace for those that are mobile.
If you are looking for a care home of the highest quality, and a happy and safe environment for your loved one ... you have found it!

My Mother sadly passed away on 16 October 2016 at Westlands Retirement Home, Teignmouth.
I would like to say a big thank you to all the Staff at Westlands for the wonderful care they gave Mum during her stay there. This is an excellent Home, where each resident is treated as an individual and where personal needs are catered for in a safe and caring environment by an excellent group of Carers and a highly respected Manager. Personal dignity is respected at all times and family atmosphere is always encouraged with family member always made welcome.
