Review from M D (Friend of Resident) published on 30 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My mother was in Westerleigh 5 years ago, well looked after whilst in care until she passed away. Whilst visiting then and visiting now have always found the staff very friendly and caring.

Overall Experience
Called and spoke with the manageress about a room for my uncle, she was very understanding and helpful, she gave us a 'tour' of the home and we were very impressed by the high standard shown. As a result my uncle is going into stay for his care.

Overall Experience
Friendly, polite. I enjoy coming, we do different things. If I don't like the menu they would always do something to suit me. Don't know home manager. She never speaks.

Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
