  • Westcombe Park Care Home, London
Westcombe Park is a modern care home situated in a pleasant leafy neighbourhood of south-east London. Here, they warmly welcome residents in need of nursing or residential care. They also provide respite and convalescence care.

Every bedroom has been thoughtfully decorated to create a warm and homely atmosphere. Most of the bedrooms are en suite. It can also accommodate couples with double rooms.

The home is close to local transport links, is a few minutes’ drive from the A2 and benefits from a bus route stopping directly outside the home, making visiting for family and friends easier. The care home is also only a few minutes’ walk to local amenities, shops and the local bank.

At Westcombe Park, staff take great care to focus on the person. It’s important for residents to feel at home, so it creates a friendly environment with an individually appropriate balance of care and independence.

Enjoying food is an important part of life. The chefs create well-crafted menus made with the freshest ingredients and try to cater for all ethnicity groups. Soon after a resident arrives at the home, staff discuss their personal preferences and dietary needs with them.

There’s a real sense of community at Westcombe Park. The staff work to discover what residents enjoy doing and the home's social calendar is organised around those interests. So whether a loved one already has a hobby or would like to take up a new one, there are lots of exciting activities to get involved in.

My mother, who has been a resident since March, passed in October. Her death was unexpected, the staff were very caring and compassionate, giving my husband I all the support we needed. I cannot praise the home and it's staff enough for the way they have looked after my Mum this year. Thank you.

Generally good. Sometimes when my Mum buzzes to use the commode, she can be waiting for quite a while. I understand there may be an emergency but sometimes it is unacceptable. She may have had a fall. There are no more outings, seaside, park. Last time I got a day off work to help only for the trip
to be cancelled - shame!

Review from Violet G (Sister of Resident) published on 10 January 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister came here for end of life care. She has actually improved and is no longer end of life. She is likely to move back into community. The support, nursing care she has received here has been exceptional. They have supported her emotional and physical health exceptionally well. As for her sister,
they have also supported me in every way through this difficult time.
Reply from Greta Narbutaityte, Customer Adviser at Westcombe Park Care Home
Thank you for your review. It is amazing to hear your sister had a miraculous recovery and we wish her the very best to both of you! The Bupa Customer Care Team

Caring staff are generally great. Night staff are not as good as day staff.


Activities are good, sometimes could be a bit more stimulating and interesting. The main organiser is fantastic.


Management is frustratingly poor. Getting information is very difficult, as is getting things done. Helpful

staff seem to be battling poor systems, and things agreed to be done are not done.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Always short staffed especially at night time.
Language barrier with some staff.
Staff spend all their time in meeting and updating files rather than caring for resident's needs.
I am advised by doctors to have 2 carers to assist movement from the wheelchair - always only one carer putting more strain
on my body.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Almost all of the staff are friendly and amenable.
My mum has been here for a few years so she knows most of the staff.
The food is not very good, but the warmth and caring nature of the staff more than makes up for it.
Whenever she has had to stay in the hospital, the staff always seem very happy
to have her back.

Westcombe Park Care Home has provided excellent support for my mother in respect of daily care, standard of facilities and provision of food.
The atmosphere is caring and friendly, encouraging residents to mix and socialise.
Relatives and friends are encouraged to visit and always made to feel welcome.
The

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Good home mostly. Food not always good, menu done sometimes and not others, residents request some items on menu but sometimes not given.
Happy with treatment from staff, not always fully staffed which is a problem if one resident needs more support.
Afternoon tea/coffee, cake/biscuits not always
provided and sometimes too near supper time.
Too many carers left in the last few months.

My husband seems to have settled into his life here quite well, though I don't know if he realises, whereabouts he is.
The staff all seem to be well trained, capable and friendly.
His room is "so-so", carpet could do with either changing or given a deep clean.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The Bupa care home building is of a good standard and welcoming. However, the carpet may need cleaning more frequently due to spills/accidents etc. In places stains/smells from carpet.
Care/support: There needs to be a named person who takes responsibility for residents. Each day all staff on duty
need to update and read patient/residents notes.
More physio needed and activities for those who do not go downstairs.
Food: In a diverse age, all residents "food needs" should be met. This needs to be worked on.

Mum has been here for almost a year now. Initially, she was in her room a lot (20 hours out of 24) however, since the new manager arrived he has made lots of positive changes and there's a lot more going on in the lounge for all the residents to participate in. The staff are all very kind and friendly
and dedicated to their jobs. Mum is happy and feels safe here.

Very good staff. Not enough carers per floor, therefore, carers are rushed and cannot perform their best. The nurses are also rushed since they often work 2 floors instead of one.

Review from Pamela L (Wife of Resident) published on 25 September 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Food is not suitable for the elderly, cold food is not good enough for the elderly. My husband has lost a lot of weight because of the food as most old people do not like salad, men at least. My husband has had a sore on his hip, I don't think it is a bed sore but it has become infected, he is on antibiotics
which I am not bothered about. He had the dressing changed on the evening of Wed 14th at 5-6 o'clock when I went in - the same dressing was on at 3 o'clock in the afternoon full of puss. I was not happy with this, you have got too many agency staff working, some good, some bad, this is why you get a bad name. I have done health care for 37 years but this is not good.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.590)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.590) out of 10 for Westcombe Park Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.590 for Westcombe Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (233 Excellents x 5) + (99 Goods x 4) + (20 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 354 Ratings = 4.59
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Westcombe Park Care Home is based on 28 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 28 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.
