Lovely care home! Mum has been welcomed like one of the family. She is always relaxed and happy when I see her or talk to her on the phone. Staff are all very kind and helpful. The home is always clean and smells nice, more like a hotel! Very happy with everything so far!

Currently under Covid-19 lockdown so difficult to assess all the services, however, it has been a mixture of fantastic service in terms of video calls and better communication of staff and family. However, there has also been vital things that have gone wrong too i.e leaving him in bed and an unexplained fall.
Staff are friendly and helpful. Updated on a daily basis on her general health, activities and mood. When we are able to visit she looks well looked after and content.

Absolutely the best care possible if I could give more than 10/10 I would make it 20/10. All the staff are really the best you could ask for and my daughter loves everyone here. It makes me a proud dad and very happy. The staff are the best of the best.

Covid has been a challenge, the care home has done well to manage. Communication has been slow at times but is improving. Need more support towards aids e.g. Glasses.

The whole team have kept in touch all the time with me so I am able to advise about the little things - I have seen my mother by video and calls every day. Mum has dementia and can't talk for herself so it is very important for staff to know what she likes. The staff are all friendly, informative and knowledgeable about family and my mother. I live in gratitude for the care given in lockdown and so happy I can visit in person now. Thank you.

My mother is usually happy when I visit her. It is good to see that she looks in good health and with exception to her medical conditions. She is in good care.

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!

Bibi is new to Westgate House and is looking forward to getting to know our residents. Bibi has experience in offering activities.
