We were very impressed with Westside Care Home. Looking after my dad during his last few weeks of palliative care. Staff were caring and respectful of him, and made every attempt to make him as comfortable as possible. As a family we felt that we had peace of mind knowing that he was in good hands.

My dad moved to Westside from hospital to be in pallative care. The management team and staff worked very hard to make the transition smoothly and more importantly happen as his needs were complex. The staff and nurses were always at hand and helped with dads every need and treated him with dignity
and respect. The kitchen staff too went the extra mile in catering for his needs. Dad was only there for 2 weeks, but I cannot thank Westside enough for making those 2 weeks pleasant and comfortable for them. Thank you so much.

My mother has been at Westside for a year now, and I can say that I have never had any worry in regards of how she is being looked after. Every member of staff from the bottom to the top are kind caring and fully committed to giving the best care that they can. My mother worked for the NHS all her life
as a nurse/sister/matron and in care homes, she loves this care home and has nothing but praise for everyone there, and I thank everyone for the great care my mother is getting.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was transferred from a hospice for palliative care. Her care was excellent right from management getting her transferred smoothly and efficiently from the hospice. All the staff were amazing, caring and friendly. The chef even came to see her to see if he could tempt her into eating anything
or was there anything he could cook for her. The staff were very gentle and patient with her as she was is considerable pain. The Westside team liaised with the hospice at all times regarding pain management which I found very reassuring in that she was getting the best care. Towards the end, I received regular phone calls if the staff felt there had been any changes even though I used to pop in every day. They were so attentive to her every need and care. I cannot thank all the staff for their kindness and care to both mum and myself enough, when families are in this situation it's very reassuring to know that your loved one is being so well looked after.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were told that my father had terminal cancer, a short prognosis and needed 24/7 care so we looked for a care home in the Purley area. My dad was treated so well at Westside - from the very first day. He enjoyed all the activities (bingo, 60’s music karaoke, chair aerobics, quizzes) and was looked
after so well. Everyone at the home from the cooks, cleaners, carers, nurses and management treated my dad with respect and care. Towards the end of his life, Westside liaised with St Christopher’s hospice so that his pain management was regularly assessed and controlled. We seriously could not have wished for a better experience. The staff are caring and go above and beyond in looking after the residents. For my dad’s last birthday, we were able to use the dining area and the chef made a huge (very tasty) cake. The staff also decorated the room with balloons and full tableware. It was just so sweet. If you are considering a place for a relative I would recommend - 10/10.

Review from Andrea W (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 February 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum had advanced dementia and needed full-time care. She could do very little for herself she couldn’t even brush her hair anymore. I’d looked after her in my house and provided all her care from the outset of Covid in March 2020. Mum was extremely reluctant to leave me at all. Westside was the only
place that allowed her to gradually extend her periods of respite from a week initially building up by a day at a time reaching 17 days maximum respite stay over a 15-month period from November 2021. This respite I could trust enabled me to continue caring. After caring for mum alone for three years and 9 months mum moved into Westside for the last 9 months of her life in 2023, she was cared for kindly and with dignity, the nursing staff involved me at every step as her condition gradually progressed. She was with them to the end and the staff were always kind mindful and alert to her needs.

I cannot praise the staff enough. My mum was in the home for 3 months before she passed away. The staff treated her like she was their own mother. The food was amazing, the place was always clean and tidy. They could not have done enough to make sure my mum was looked after and was treated with the
utmost respect, and as mum started to have problems eating they made sure she had food she could eat. They always kept us informed on how our mum was and how she was doing. I can say I would highly recommend this home.

We needed to find medical care for our dad after our mum sadly passed away. Dad had complex medical needs and both the nursing and regular care was outstanding. The staff are very friendly and genuine in their care for the residents and this really helped our dad during his time of grieving andlife
adjustment. The chef was amazing in providing food that Dad could eat, which greatly helped him regain weight (after a hospital stay). We were impressed with the professional management of the home and appreciated their encouragement of family visits. We would highly recommend this care home.

My mother was struggling to look after herself in her own home, so as a family we decided that she would be better off in a residential care home. We visited Westside and were impressed so that was what we chose for her. Best decision ever. We know she is safe, well cared for and can spend her last
years in comfort. There is a doctor on call, nursing staff to attend to minor complaints and very good food. It's everything she could want. The manager is very approachable and the admin staff are very friendly. Everybody knows everybody, it's refreshing.

Mum lived with my husband and me for nearly five years and the decision to put her in a care home was one I'd hoped we'd never have to make. However, everyone at Westside Care Home was so welcoming, kind, caring and friendly. Nothing was too much for them and it didn't take long for Mum to settle in.
They made me feel welcome and have been very supportive. Their care has been second to none. Thank you all.

Lovely care home, clean and with caring staff. Dad settled in very quickly. He has lots of entertainment - musicians, singers, miniature shetland ponies and exercise classes. The food is very good and he even had a birthday cake made for him on his 93rd birthday. The nurses are very empathetic and nothing
is any trouble. I feel very happy with the care and I feel relief that he is getting everything that he needs.

After visiting several homes to accommodate my parents (in their 90s), we knew that Westside was the home for them as soon as we walked in. There was a very friendly and caring atmosphere and the residents all looked happy. When they arrived after a substantial journey in an ambulance, they had hot
food waiting for them and us and made every effort to welcome them. Sadly my father only lasted for just under 4 weeks until he passed, but the staff went the extra mile to see that he was as comfortable as possible and were on hand to comfort my mother at that sad time. Also calling us so that we could be there. Mum is still there and is very happy with the way she is looked after.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.806)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.806) out of 10 for Westside Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.806 for Westside Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (114 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 139 Ratings = 4.806
  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 Westside Care Home is based on 12 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 12 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.
