Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Care homes are daunting, but not this one. The staff go above and beyond, not just to support the residents living, but to ensure they have a good quality of life too! Always something on for them, activities etc. The connection with staff and families and the trust is what puts you at ease. My aunt
is smiling and happy every time we go, she doesn’t speak very much but her body language tells us all we need to know in how comfortable and happy she is, this is comforting to the family. My grandfather enjoys visiting each week, he also has dementia and the staff are fantastic with him too! Brilliant place, amazing staff! Thank you for all you do!

Although not in a new building, this care home has a very good atmosphere. The staff are all caring and provide a very good level of care to all residents. My own mother has nothing but praise for the staff and the way she is treated whenever I visit her either at the home or when I take her out.

The care home is lovely, and so are the staff.
Pull out all the stops for special occasions.
The gardens are lovely to sit in and so quiet, considering it's on an estate.
Could do with a handyman.

Thank you for your lovely comments; it really helps. We now have a maintenance man in situ.

All the staff at Westy are amazing. Nothing is too much trouble. All through the lockdown, they were just fantastic. I wouldn't want my mum to be anywhere else. Everything they do is about giving the best care to all of the residents.
Reply from Katya Lyon, Home manager at Westy Hall

Hi Jackie, thank you so much for the review; it really makes the staffing team feel valued when they know people take time out to let others know how they feel about the service we provide.
It is a privilege to care for your mum and to know that you trust us to care for her.
As you are aware, we are always open to new ideas, and the door is always open should you have concerns or wish to discuss anything further.
Best wishes.

My mother has been a resident for two years at Westy Hall and is extremely happy and settled here. The staff are excellent and professional and treat everyone well. During lockdown, we were not anxious as we knew she was in very good hands. The rooms are always clean and neat but it would be great to
have a coat of paint as this is really needed.
Reply from Katya Lyon, Home manager at Westy Hall

Hi Alan,
Thank you for the review, it makes the team's day to know they are valued and are doing a good job.
It's a pleasure to be able to care for your mum, I take on board the comment around in regards to painting her room and will ensure this gets the attention as soon as possible.
Please remember we operate an open-door policy where you can approach any of the team at any time to talk about any concerns or wishes you may have.
Best wishes,

I cannot fault this home. The standard of care is excellent. For some people it will be good value as they pay nothing, unfortunately, my mother has to pay £1383 per month for it.
Reply from Katya Lyon, Home manager at Westy Hall

Hi Eunice,
Thank you for your review and we appreciate your comments as it makes us feel valued in knowing we are doing our best to care for our vulnerable, your mum is a pleasure to care for and keeps us in our place.
I also take on board your comment around funding which unfortunately is out of our control when means-tested, however, the care delivered and cleanliness in the home is not means-tested and every individual receives the same high standards of care and attention that they individually need and deserve
Best wishes from the team.

Mum has been here for over a year now and I have nothing but praise for Team Westy. They genuinely care for each and every resident. It's always a worry, especially with covid but we have been reassured weekly of the testing and safeguards in place, Mum's safe, healthy and happy, thanks to the staff.

I cannot thank The Westy Hall angels enough for the care, love and devotion they show to my dad and all the residents. My dad has mixed dementia and is so happy in Westy Hall. The staff go above and beyond to care for him. He is always nicely washed, dressed and shaven. They take the time to make the
residents feel happy, comfortable and perform by singing, dancing and doing shows. We are always kept up to date on my dad and if there is any change in his condition. The staff and manager are amazing, they are all very approachable and experienced. Some of the staff stayed at the home last year to prevent Covid getting into the home. They made a very difficult decision between their family and the safety and care of the residents. Since moving into Westy, my dad has been very chatty and loves the girls. He is safe, secure, happy and very well looked after. It was a very hard decision to put my dad into a home but as a family, we feel my dad couldn’t be in a better safe place. Fantastic.

My nanna passed away sadly in November 2020 in hospital after being admitted under recommendation from the doctors who visited her in Westy Hall Carehome and confirmed that the care she was in receipt was inadequate. I only managed to get to see her once while she was in there in the pandemic, and during
the visit, I witnessed my Nanna being refused a drink because she had already had one that morning. When she passed, there was no communication from them other than the day after her funeral where they demanded we pick up her belongings that day otherwise they would be thrown in a garage. That was on Christmas Eve. Her belongings were treated in much the same way we suspect she was, thrown into a box, broken, any items of personal and monetary value were missing. The clothes they sent did not belong to her and were stained and unwashed. I would strongly advise that thorough research is done before letting your loved ones live out their last days in this care home.

Mum has been in Westy Hall since April this year. This was a very difficult transition from home to residential care, for both Mum and the family. It was made so much easier with the help and support of the manager and her staff. Mum is encouraged to maintain her independence whilst being supported
by staff. There is always a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We were lucky to find Westy Hall at a very difficult time.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.734)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.734) out of 10 for Westy Hall is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.734 for Westy Hall is calculated as follows: ( (118 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.734
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Westy Hall is based on 13 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
