Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife was admitted to the Jubilee wing on the 14th of March 2022 and was unable to walk. She has made brilliant progress and is now able to walk again with the aid of a walking frame. The care she has received here is outstanding, her dignity has always been considered and the staff have always considered
her needs. The food is excellent and the cook and kitchen staff should be congratulated. I cannot thank you enough for the care, friendliness and efforts of all concerned. All the staff are first-class.
Reply from Paul Millar, Marketing Manager at Westview Lodge Care HomeDear Kenneth,

Everyone makes me feel welcome and everyone is so nice, they make me feel part of a team. It is so lovely being here. The manager always checks on me every time I am in to see if I am okay and to see if I need anything.
The residents are happy and they are treated with dignity and respect. They are
offered a wide variety of food at all meal times and activities to do every day. Everywhere is so clean and tidy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The first time that I visited the care home it had a lovely feel. I was greeted by friendly staff and was made to feel safe with the current climate and Covid.
The care is fantastic and the staff can’t do enough for the residents. They have activities going on every day for the residents and staff
take the time to talk to visitors and residents. Nothing is too much for them.
The food that the residents are served is fantastic, like nothing I’ve seen in the previous care home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I stayed at West View Lodge Care Home for a week to give my husband a break as he cares for me single-handed and without carers. Westview Lodge is a home that focuses on food that is of good quality and not cost! If they make a ham sandwich it is “proper” ham not chopped and shaped pieces that are glued
together. In the main it is tasty, home-cooked food! In the week I stayed it was a heatwave and the management provided residents with strawberries and cream, ice-cold water, ice lollies and choc ices which was most welcome!
Staff are always polite and courteous and with their efforts they go the extra mile!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum spent three months at Westview Lodge, she was put onto end-of-life care and sadly passed away on the 28th of August 2021. I couldn't have wished or wanted anywhere else for my Mum to be. The care, compassion, love and support from the staff on the Marine ward was second to none, we were so well
looked after and more importantly so was my Mum. Nothing was too much trouble and her every need was catered for.

Mum is currently on palliative care. I have the utmost respect for the staff in West View Lodge. My mum could not be more cared for, she is kept clean, comfortable and warm, regular phone calls have been made to me if there has been any kind of issue and nothing has been too much trouble. How lucky
are we to have such excellent care facilities on our doorstep, thank you all staff for your ongoing care and support towards our mother.

The Care provided to my mother by the team and especially one member of staff in particular, at Westview Lodge has been excellent. The staff are always helpful, understanding and supportive with keeping us informed of Mam’s status. It is not easy under the current restrictions, but it is made easier
knowing the care for my Mother is excellent. Kind regards.

I have no doubt in my mind that my mother-in-law has been taken care of very well during the pandemic. It’s been hard as family to have limited contact but I know the staff at Westview Lodge attend to my mother-in-law's every need. The staff have also been great in offering FaceTime calls so we can
see my mother-in-law regular. I would absolutely recommend Westview Lodge!

Following an accident, my father was given emergency accommodation at West View during the height of the Pandemic. The manager and her team could not have done anything more to make my father feel so welcome and supported. Their very genuine care, all carried out with warmth and good humour has brought
Dad back from an exceptionally traumatic time, and four months later, he’s feeling very safe, secure and happy. I can’t thank everyone at West View enough.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.668)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.668) 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.693 for Westview Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (190 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 244 Ratings = 4.693
  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 4.975 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Westview Lodge Care Home is based on 19 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.975
    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, which has been reached with 19 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.
