Review from Ian L (Friend of Resident) published on 28 September 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My friend is very well looked after; the staff here recognise my friend's needs and meet them fully. I am satisfied that medical care is good and records are up to date. I have been present at all her annual reviews. The local council are also pleased with all aspects of the care plan.
Westview Lodge
can be counted upon to contact me immediately on such occasions when hospitalisation due to falls etc. occur and are aware that I have been delegated the power of finance and health attorney.
We have formed a close relationship over the five plus years that my friend has resided here, and look forward to the next five at this world class care establishment.

Review from Esther B (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 September 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident for approximately 4 years here and we have been very happy with the conditions and care.


Any problems are quickly resolved. As this is a relatively small care home, this ideally suited my mother's needs.

Review from Leondard S (Son of Resident) published on 25 September 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I call to see my mother about 4 times a week and have found the care standard to be 'acceptable' to 'good'. A little more attention could be applied to details like location of false teeth and hearing aids as Mam has a tendency to misplace them - both teeth and hearing aids have had to be replaced whilst
she has been here.


Also my sister takes my mam's washing home to do, due to items of clothing going missing.

A very warm and friendly atmosphere where all the staff are very helpful to the families and residents of the Lodge. A wide range of activities are available to residents and everyone is encouraged to join in. The food always comes to a high standard and represents the high standards Westview Lodge

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.195)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.195) 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 9 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 4.687 for Westview Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (87 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 115 Ratings = 4.687
  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 4.508 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Westview Lodge Care Home is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.8 = 0.608
  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.
