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.
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.
Thank you so much for your kind words and wonderful feedback! We are thrilled to hear that you have had such a positive experience at Westview Lodge. Our dedicated team, from our cleaners to our manager, strives to provide the best care and attention to all our residents, and it's heartwarming to...
The care for my husband goes beyond, nothing is too much trouble. Very friendly people, amazing staff, they make you so welcome and part of a family, made my husband so relaxed after his ordeal in hospital.

My 88-year-old mother was admitted to Westview Lodge Care Home after a fall and a period in the hospital. Mum had good physiotherapy which helped in her recovery and the staff were patient and understanding. The other care home staff were wonderful. Mum was treated with kindness and warmth. She loved the food and misses it!
Many thanks for your kind review for Westview Lodge Care Home.

I have been coming into Westview Lodge regularly over the past few months, to spend time chatting with some service users who have no families/friends the home is a lovely place to be around. The staff are always very happy, and helpful. They are always cheerful and very welcoming.
Dear Sheila, many thanks for taking the time to review our home. The Westview Colleagues and residents really appreciate your visits and you'll always be welcome.
The care team at Westview Lodge Care Home have been fantastic while my grandmother has been receiving rehab at Westview Lodge Care Home. All the staff have been amazing. One member of staff has been fantastic the whole time my grandmother has been at Westview Lodge and she is a credit to the home. Thank you so much!

The care staff were lovely and always have a smile on their faces. My dad was very nervous to come to a care home but settled in straight away. The management team were lovely and all enquiries were dealt with fabulously. I could not recommend this care home enough.
Many thanks for taking the time to review our home. Your kind words are greatly appreciated and I will of course pass them on to the Westview Lodge family
My father was reluctant to go to Westview Lodge and I was worried that they may not have been able to manage his behaviour, as he previously had delirium. However, the staff and management were great with him, the care and compassion he received was wonderful to the point that when he needed respite he chose to visit Westview Lodge.
Dear Lorraine, many thanks for taking the time to review our home. Your kind words are greatly appreciated and I will of course pass them on to the Westview Lodge family
The persons who come overnight with a torch to inspect the patient, should be made aware that in opening the door with the handle and shining the light, should remember to close the door with the handle instead of allowing the door to snap shut, thus waking the patient from sleep! The sign 'Westview Lodge' should be positioned on a platform within your grounds, at a height which can be easily read from a car, as at the moment it is suitable for pedestrians only when taking the dog for a walk!
Dear Donald, many thanks for taking the time to review our home. All feedback is welcomed and allows us to continually develop our service. I will of course pass on your comments to Wendy and the Westview Lodge team.
My husband was well looked after by all the staff. The rooms and corridor were clean. A good choice of good quality, well-cooked meals. Dignity always respected.
Many thanks for taking the time to review our home. It was our pleasure to care for your husband. Your kind words are greatly appreciated and I will of course pass them on to the manager and the Westview Lodge family.
Whilst my dad was residing in Westview Lodge he was treated with the utmost compassion and care. Our family were kept informed regarding decisions related to my dad's care. My dad described this place as his home and he really enjoyed his time here.
Dear Joshua, many thanks for taking the time to review our home. It was our pleasure to care for your Dad. Your kind words are greatly appreciated and I will of course pass them on to the Westview Lodge family.
Each time I have visited the home it's always had a friendly atmosphere. The staff are always happy, nothing is ever too much to ask for. On a couple of occasions when I have visited the care staff have been sat talking to my friend, it is lovely to see them spend time to chat and listen to residents.
Dear Billy, Many thanks for taking the time to review our home. Your kind words are greatly appreciated and I will of course pass them on to the manager and the Westview Lodge family.
My mum has been admitted to Westview Lodge for assessment from hospital. The carers are really friendly and helpful and all the staff. Very clean place and the residents all seem happy. Unfortunately, the food is always cold when my mum gets it she says, but is enjoyable.
Dear Cheryl, many thanks for taking the time to review our home. All feedback is welcomed and I will of course pass on your comment regarding the meals to the team. Your kind words are greatly appreciated.
The care that my mother has received at Westview Lodge has been second to none. The carers in the Jubilee Unit have been beyond helpful and caring. The food is fantastic, and nothing is too much trouble for the kitchen.

I am very pleased with the care my aunt receives. She is always happy, and that makes me happy. All the staff are special and really take good care of her; always pleasant and ready to help her in any way.
Dear Marjorie, many thanks for taking the time to review our home. It is our pleasure to care for your aunt. Your kind words are greatly appreciated, and I will, of course, pass them on to the manager and the colleagues at Westview Lodge.
My uncle spent several periods of respite in this care home before becoming a resident earlier this year. He has a comfortable room, overlooking the community garden, that he can adorn with his personal memories, pictures etc. It has appropriate furniture and support aids to help his mobility, with easily accessible staff and emergency contact switches. The team responsible for his care, the administrative support team and their manager are all very friendly and professional. When a kind word of support is needed - it's given, when a sympathetic ear is needed - they listen and when a cheery smile is needed to brighten a grey day - it's there. Since moving in they've provided excellent care and it's comforting to see him settled and comfortable. Medication is provided as instructed, meals are varied and accommodate his dietary requirements, the laundry service provides clean laundered clothes and his room is regularly cleaned by the ever-cheery cleaning team.
Many thanks for taking the time to review our home. It is our pleasure to care for your uncle and are delighted that he has settled in so well. Your kind words are greatly appreciated and I will of course pass on your kind words to the manager and the Westview Lodge family.
