The environment and staff projected both a professional and family feel. I cannot fault the service provided and given my grandmother condition, she was happy and very well looked after.

Review from Sharon B (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum was a resident from March to December when she died. From our first visit to the home we knew it was right for Mum. The first person we met who showed us around was friendly and welcoming. What was also good to see was the way the staff were friendly, kind and supportive to each other. It really
was like being in a family and not a home. Mum was always treated with respect and her dignity was always taken into account. She was encouraged to make friends and we were always made welcome. Mum was happy.

We are not all perfect, as we all have our flaws, but regarding this place, I have never regretted being part of this community of great people. The hospitality is good, as both staff and management are supportive.


The management team are always available to listen and attend to my needs. In short,

I am glad to be here, to meet some lovely and supportive staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A very good interaction between staff and residents. Also good interactions between staff and visitors. The care offered to the residents is excellent.
Once when I bought my mother's sister for a visit one of the care assistants offered us tea and cakes, which was well appreciated as we had had a
long journey, but she didn't know that.

My father is getting great care and attention and as a result of this, his health and demeanour have vastly improved over the time that he has spent here. It was a long wait, but I am so convinced that it was worth it.

Review from A L (Brother of Resident) published on 12 April 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Short staffed, bad basic communication skills, taking and making raised issues personal, no empathy for ill residents, lack of management expertise and complaint handling, risk management very poor. Staff not trained to manage basic tasks e.g reporting broken or faulty equipment. 121 package provided
but not in full operation due to being short staffed.
No staff available to assist disabled semi-independent visitors at main door/reception.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife was a resident at Westgate House for 9 years. We celebrated our 60th Wedding Anniversary here in 2004, we got a nice telegram from the Queen. When my wife sadly passed away, I planted a rose tree in her memory in Westgate garden. The home is so welcoming and I was so happy with the care they
gave my wife. I come here three times a week to talk to people, to be friends because I enjoy going to Westgate House.

This is my mothers second short stay at Westgate. Overall from the management assessment to the care and attention that my mother received on both occasions, I found it to be of excellent standard. The staff have shown great attention to detail in caring for mum. The staff have taken the time to get
to know mum as an individual and have noted her personal needs very well. Thank god for Westgate House.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.383)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.383) out of 10 for Barchester Westgate House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 11 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 4.695 for Barchester Westgate House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (106 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 141 Ratings = 4.695
  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 4.688 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Westgate House Care Home is based on 11 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.688
  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.
