My soon to be 90-year old mum has recently moved into the dementia floor at Westwood. Sadly after three weeks in the hospital, she went from independent living to needing full-time care. From the moment I met the general manager and was shown around the home, I knew that it was the right place for mum. First impressions were great in that Westwood don't ask you to make an appointment to view the home, the open door policy was so reassuring that what you see is what you get and there is no need to 'prepare' for visitors. Every single member of staff I've met there has shown compassion, warmth and humour towards the residents in their care, and although I am very sad about my mum's rapid decline, I have complete confidence that she is being looked after and cared for, even though she can no longer express any of this for herself. She's only been at Westwood for just under 3 weeks and I don't know what the future holds for her, but Westwood is home for her now and I'm immensely grateful for the care she's receiving.
Thank you for your lovely comments.
We were really worried about moving my mum into a home but her LB Dementia was getting worse. The way that the whole team welcomed her and continue to treat her is amazing. Her condition means that some days she is calm and other days she completely irrational. The team fully understand how to help...
Mum's been a resident for nearly nine months now and we are completely happy that we made the right decision and have chosen the best care for her.

Westwood House is an excellent home with outstanding staff. My Mum spent four and a half happy years there until she passed away at the end of September. I feel that the level of staff commitment and care at the home ensured that my Mum was always happy and contented. My family and I have always felt very welcome there and staff were always friendly, caring, approachable and efficient.
The staff on duty during my Mum's final days ensured that she was kept clean and comfortable at all times. They also provided our family with all the support we needed and all of this was done with tenderness and dignity.
I found it amazing and touching that when staff finished their shifts they took the time to come and see my Mum and say their goodbyes before she passed away. I had always praised the team at Westwood House, but witnessing them taking the time to say goodbye and being emotionally affected, made me realise just how much they care about the residents.
Dear Sue

The care that the staff and management showed my mother during the year that she was there was both efficient and truly kind-hearted. My mother had really bonded with her regular carers and nurses and came to regard the place as her home, to which she wished to return to spend her last days, when the hospital could do no more.
I was especially impressed by the tenderness that they exercised in the last few days both to my mother, myself and my siblings who had gathered in vigil for the end.
Dear David
Thank you for your for your lovely comments. I have passed this on to the staff.Please do come back and visit us when you are ready and I am so pleased that we could offer the care your Mum needed at that time.

My grandmother came to my house to celebrate her great daughters 11th Birthday. It was just wonderful to see her at a great age of 97½ enjoying the day so much. She is a wonderful granny, but it was especially wonderful to hear her talk about how happy she is in her care home. She talked about the amazing staff who are so caring and thoughtful. They know her so well and take enormous interest in her wider family and talk to her about us all!! I believe that is the amazing care and love she receives from Westwood House that enable her to enjoy busy family days so much. Thank you Westwood.
I am very glad that your Mum enjoyed her visit home and am very pleased to hear your views about our staff team at Westwood House.

Since joining Westwood House, I've discovered just how much a meaningful activity can brighten someone's day. I love getting to know our residents, learning about their interests and life stories, and using that to create activities that are enjoyable, inclusive, and personal to them.
Whether we're celebrating a special occasion, getting creative with arts and crafts, enjoying quizzes and games, exercising together, or heading out on a community trip, my goal is always to make sure everyone feels involved and has something to look forward to.
The best part of my job is seeing residents smile, laugh, share memories, and build friendships. It's incredibly rewarding to know that even the smallest moments can make a real difference.

Hello, my name is Jessica. I was born and raised in Portugal and moved to London ten years ago to begin my professional journey. After working primarily in hospitality, I joined Barchester in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, first as a Carer and later as an Activities Assistant. Supporting residents, building meaningful relationships and bringing moments of happiness into their lives became an incredibly rewarding experience that helped me grow both personally and professionally.
In 2021, I left Barchester to develop my career in hotel management, but I soon realised how much I missed the sense of purpose that comes from working with residents. I therefore returned as a Bank Activities Assistant. Seeing residents smile, helping them feel included and creating joyful, meaningful experiences gives me a genuine sense of fulfilment and reminds me why this role is so special.

My name is Beverley Taylor, and I am a Staff Nurse at Westwood House Care Home, part of Barchester Healthcare. I have been a Registered Nurse since 2002, after graduating from King’s College University.
I spent over 20 years working at King’s College Hospital, where I was based in the Renal Dialysis and High Dependency Unit. Throughout my career there, I developed strong clinical and leadership skills and eventually retired in 2024 as a Ward Manager. My time in the NHS shaped me into the nurse I am today and gave me a deep appreciation for high standards, teamwork, and compassionate care. In November 2024, I joined Westwood House Care Home, where I now use my experience to care for older adults and residents living with dementia.
I am passionate about providing person-centred care and ensuring residents feel safe, respected, and valued. I genuinely enjoy working with the team at Westwood House. Building strong relationships with both colleagues and residents is very important to me, and I take pride in helping create a warm, family-like environment. I believe strongly in a whole-team approach to care, where communication, support, and collaboration are key.
I truly love my role and look forward to coming to work each day, knowing I am part of a team that works together to provide the best possible care for our residents.

I originally came to the UK from India in 2022 and joined Barchester Healthcare as a Senior Carer. Although my ambition was always to continue my nursing career, I was unable to come to the UK as a Registered Nurse initially. With Barchester’s support and encouragement, I successfully completed my CBT and OSCE examinations, obtained my NMC PIN, and progressed into my role as a Registered Nurse.
I am proud to be part of the team at Westwood House, where I work alongside dedicated colleagues who are committed to delivering high-quality, person-centred care. Barchester has played an important role in my professional development, and I am grateful for the opportunities I have been given to grow my career.
I am passionate about making a positive difference in the lives of our residents by providing compassionate, individualised care. Outside of work, I enjoy listening to music and watching movies, which help me relax and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

My journey to becoming a nurse began when I moved from India to the UK in 2023 as an international nursing student, leaving my family behind to follow my dream. After graduating in 2026, I was proud to begin my career with Barchester Healthcare, where I found not just a job, but a welcoming and supportive community.
I am now part of the wonderful team at Westwood House Barchester Care Home, and I truly enjoy coming to work every day. From the very beginning, I have felt supported, valued, and encouraged to grow professionally. Barchester is committed to helping its colleagues develop and progress in their careers, and I am grateful to be part of such a caring and inspiring team. Outside of nursing, I have a real passion for drawing, and I hope to share this with our residents by introducing creative art activities that encourage self-expression, conversation, and enjoyment.
