Overall an excellent care home. Messages did not always reach the person they were intended for and information was not volunteered, but this was not intentional - an oversight. My husband is moving soon, but this is so that he can be nearer his family. I would have been more than happy to leave him at Westgate otherwise.
An excellent home and the staff are very professional and caring. The premises are attractive and kept very clean.

Our family was able to celebrate his recent birthday at the home. The staff decorated a room specially and also provided an amazing cake.
I’m so grateful for the care he has received. All the staff have been unfailingly cheerful and welcoming whenever we visit.

My father resided at Westgate House Care Home for 10 months sadly passing away in December 2022. Throughout his time at the nursing home, he was treated with the utmost care and dignity. The staff took special care of the whole family's well-being during my dad's final weeks. As a family, we are very grateful to have found this nursing home.
Thank you so much for your feedback. It was lovely having Dad living with us and an absolute pleasure to be able to support him throughout this period of his life. We wish you and your family all the best.

My mum's been in Westgate for a month now, and the staff have been very friendly and extremely good - informing us of any concerns and what Mum likes, etc. They let us know when they feel concerned about anything, i.e. not taking meds or eating. One thing I do wish is they allow Mum to find her feet, I know she's unstable, and they have to assure her safety, but it's only since taken into the hospital she's been unsteady - she needs to build her muscles up again.
Hello! Thank you for much for your feedback; it really helps us continuously drive improvements to the care we deliver. If you'd like, we would be happy to organize a care review so we can share with you the measures in place to meet mum's needs and make adjustments to her requirements.
My nan has been in this home for almost two years and I cannot fault her care. She always seems happy and well kept when I see her. New Covid restrictions are over I can take my children into the home and staff are always very welcoming.

My cousin came for four weeks of respite care following an initial visit to assess the facility. We have found all of the staff, from the managers, nursing staff, carers, housekeeping staff, activity organiser and reception team friendly, helpful and caring. They quickly established a rapport with us and my cousin. We feel she has benefited from her stay and would like to thank everyone involved.
A very clean and tidy care home, with very friendly, dedicated staff. The residents are very well looked after in a well maintained and secure environment.

Seen lots of improvements in decoration inside of the building. In regards to my grandmother, I have seen many improvements, and we are happy. Still missing items, Bible, gold earrings but otherwise a big improvement on treatment from the pandemic, she now looks like she is being looked after. Food, not 100% satisfied, still not seeing Caribbean food as promised? Pizza and beans are not good, hard base for someone with hardly any teeth, which was hard seeing her chew her food.
Would you like to come along and see me regarding any points that you feel we can improve on?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards.

The relationship I have with my mum's carers they both always relay all information to me regarding my mum and gives me the ability to have trust in them whenever I am unable to visit on a daily basis.
All the staff go above and beyond to give me support and they always make sure that your well-being is a priority if you are in their presence, especially during difficult times.
She enjoys the food and always clears her plate.
Her room is clean and tidy. The staff are friendly and caring but obviously very busy.

Rifna started as a housekeeping assistant and was then promoted to Head of housekeeping.
Due to my work ethic and my drive to always work hard, it was only after a few months of working with Westgate House that I was promoted to Head of Housekeeping.
This mindset of treating my workplace like a home enables me to work hard and ensure my surroundings are always presentable, clean and tidy, just as anyone would do in their own home.

Hello, my name is Sandra. I am the Head Chef here at Westgate House.I have been working at Westgate House since August 2021 and I love this team and the residents. With over twenty-five years of chef experience, I know how to make the residents happy at every meal time. Whilst I enjoy introducing residents to some of my Caribbean food, it is also important that I provide a wide range of traditional English dishes too - it wouldn't be Friday without Fish 'N' Chips!
