  • Westerley Christian Care Home, Minehead
Westerley Christian Care Home is located in Minehead and has views of the beautiful Quantock Hills from the front of the property and North Hill from the side and rear. The sea is within a 10 minute walk.

There are good transport links within the town with Taunton Railway Station making other towns and villages in the West Country accessible.

Residents are encouraged to pursue and enjoy their own hobbies and interests both within the home and in the local community. The Homes have a Christian ethos, residents can share in daily family prayers, but this is not obligatory. These devotions are held each weekday in the mornings for approx. half an hour and Holy Communion is celebrated monthly.

A dedicated social committee organises trips out and in house activities on a regular basis. Each room is fitted with a call bell system and most rooms are equipped to recognised standards for disabled residents. A Resident's telephone in their room is included in the fees and all rooms are equipped with a TV aerial socket. Most rooms are single with en-suite facilities.

On the ground floor there are two comfortable lounges, one with a large screen TV and deep windows overlooking the large flat garden. The lounge is equipped with a loop system to assist the hard of hearing. Also available is a library and a spacious dining room.

Westerley has an extensive garden, with opportunity for relaxation, lawn games, etc. The summer house is a much used facility during the warmer months. The Home is situated on level ground, which is ideal for elderly people.

There are adequate car parking facilities. The home is happy to store personal buggies for access to town.

Review from Sandra C (Friend of Resident) published on 19 May 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Westerley Care Home in Minehead ticks all the boxes. My friend was very happy there, her room was bright and clean. The staff were all very dedicated, caring and loving. In her first couple of days she was treated with the greatest respect and dignity. She was attended to at all times. As a visitor
I was always made to feel welcome. The home is just like home, with a feeling of peace and warmth. I would recommend it 100% to anyone. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.458)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.458) out of 10 for Westerley Christian Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 2 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 5.000 for Westerley Christian Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 5
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.458 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Westerley Christian Care Home is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 = 3.125
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 6 = 0.333
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
