We cannot recommend Westgate Care Home highly enough for the compassion, support and professional, devoted care shown to our beloved Mum and Auntie during her respite stay.
Although, sadly, she became unwell during her time with you, we will always be grateful that her stay was a happy, caring and supportive experience. In her final days and hours, she was looked after with great compassion, with the appropriate medical services involved and kept fully informed and supported.
What meant so much to us as a family was that we were cared for and supported too. the manager was exceptionally kind and supportive, and we would also like to thank every member of the team, including the carers, catering staff and everyone behind the scenes who contributes to making Westgate Care Home what it is.
At an incredibly difficult and emotional time for our family, we felt welcomed, supported and cared about. We are truly grateful for the kindness, dignity and care

I came to the home straight from having a mastectomy. From arrival to leaving the service, across the whole home has been outstanding. All staff work tirelessly for their patients always with kindness, compassion, patience and love. Nothing was too much, they were so attentive to my needs.

Friendly and caring staff looked after her very well, had no complaints. We could visit when we wanted to so saw the workings of the home at different times, no concerns if Mum needed longer-term care she has said she would have no worries about returning.

As a post-op patient recently discharged from hospital and requiring respite care, this was probably not the optimal facility to cater for my specific needs. But this should not detract from the amazing, incredible hard work and dedication shown by the staff members towards the care of the even more vulnerable residents of the home. The staff here should be constantly recognised for their selflessness and efforts towards making life as comfortable as possible for the main residents.

I came into Barchester Westgate House Care Home for a post-operation respite for two weeks. The staff in all departments have been kind, helpful, cheerful, friendly and accommodated my needs as soon as I arrived a week later than planned. The staff have helped me regain my independence as my mobility from my hip replacement has improved. I also have a lot of skin allergies, the staff have helped me to control and rehydrate from the rash I had on my back. I made the right choice to take two weeks' respite at Westgate House and have nothing but praise for the care they take of everyone. Thank you.

During my recent visit to Westgate House to conduct a review on one of the residents, I was thoroughly impressed by the overall atmosphere and operations of the facility. From the moment I stepped through the doors, it was evident that Westgate House prioritizes a welcoming and inclusive environment for both residents and visitors alike. One aspect that stood out to me was the exceptional organization and professionalism demonstrated by the staff. They were not only efficient in their duties but also exuded warmth and genuine care towards the residents. Their dedication to their roles was palpable, and it was clear that they were committed to providing the best possible support and assistance to those under their care.

Visiting my father is always lovely, the carers are always polite and courteous, always helpful and lovely. They seem to go out of their way to help and look after my father and have a marvellous way about them. My father seems happy and is looked after and medical assistance is always a priority. The added bonus is that the home never smells of urine - I can't praise them enough.
