Care given to my mother is first rate from all the staff, care workers, cleaners, cooks, matron, management and office staff. All know my mother and speak to her, they know me. She is well cared for and all her needs are met in a happy environment, warm and well fed.

My son has been a resident in West View Care home for approx 3 months now. I have found the level of care he received from the staff exemplary, without fault. They are very attentive, cheerful and go out of their way to help/assist him at all times. The room is very clean bright and has all storage
needed. The food is fantastic, range each day to choose from. The management are always chatty/approachable. In my opinion the home is one the best available in Hartlepoole.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Although on the whole this review is overall satisfactory over the last month the obnoxious smell upstairs has been disgusting. The patient toilets were nowhere near as hygenic as they should be. Would suggest an automatic air freshener. A sink and tap is needed in upstairs dining room to facilitate
tea/coffee making.

I can't praise the staff enough for their professionalism and above all their sheer kindness. They did everything they possibly could to make my father comfortable and created a very homely atmosphere. They were even very kind to me as a visitor. It was very reassuring to know that my father was being
checked on throughout the day and night and that if he needed anything or had any discomfort the staff would immediately deal with it. The staff have a very demanding job and they do it with never ending cheerfulness and kindness. They are amazing.

Where do I start? I can't fault the staff, they were brilliant. They all deserve medals. For looking after my father-in-law they were all brilliant, always had a smile even when my father-in-law was giving the staff some abuse. All I can say is thank you for looking after my father-in-law.

Some days it was a bit difficult to get parked but as soon as the front door to the home was opened you were met with a big smile. No matter who opened the door. Everyone from cleaners to management and nursing staff were courteous and happy to help. My dad can be difficult (I know) but they all just
took it in their stride and kept on smiling and chatting to him. Everyone who works there deserves a medal as big as a dustbin lid! Thank you all for being so kind to my dad and his family.

All of the staff from cleaners to Westview Lodge manager do a fantastic job looking after all the residents, in the lodge there are always staff members there calling in the rooms and asking if that person is ok or do they need anything done or getting. I would highly recommend Westview Lodge to anyone.
Thanks again Westview Lodge for everything you all do, keep up the great job you all do.

My 88-year-old mother was admitted to Westview Lodge Care Home after a fall and a period in the hospital.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.677)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.677) out of 10 for Westview Lodge Care Home 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.731 for Westview Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 175 Ratings = 4.731
  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 4.946 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Westview Lodge Care Home is based on 14 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 74 registered maximum number of service users is 14.8. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.8 = 0.946
  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.
