Westacre Nursing Home

An excellent community care home, with lots to offer for fund raising ideas, such as fun days and bingo. I noticed that the care was fantastic and it was a well kept/clean care home and I would recommend this to anyone.

I moved my relative to Westacre 1/3/17 after concerns about the care she was receiving in another care home. I am so pleased we chose Westacre, the improvement in both my relative's health and the care is most marked. Both friends and family have commented on the improvement. I am completely satisfied with the care my relative is receiving - I just can't fault it. All the staff are so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Westacre.

Westacre Nursing Home is a very well run hands on, friendly nursing home caring especially for patients with dementia and welcome daily visits of family and friends. The nursing and medical staff are very sympathetic and caring towards their patients. In-house entertainments are organised to stimulate the well-being of those present. Visiting musical performers and floral demonstrations are weekly events. In-house catering offers a wide a various selection of dishes from a weekly menu. Accommodation and facilities for patients are of a high standard as is the garden area. One knows that their loved ones are comfortable and safe at this care home.

Our mother entered Westacare, Winchester in 2017 and has received excellent care, love and kindness in a professional way.
Her needs are complex but this has not phased the professional staff. We would like to thank the clinical manager, the manager and their staff (too many to mention personally) for their dedicated daily of our mother.

My husband moved into Westacre Nursing Home one year ago.
Westacre is a lovely care home, homely, cosy and efficiently run. The care staff show compassion and are very caring and look after my husband extremely well. The meals are excellent, home cooked and I and any of my visitors can dine at Westacre at any time. I would recommend Westacre to any of my friends and family.

This nursing home ticks all the boxes for us as a family. It's warm, welcoming and gives a calm and happy atmosphere throughout.

My family and I have been impressed and satisfied with the level of care shown to my husband and also to other residents. The nursing and general care we find to be of a high standard with thoughtfulness, kindness and respect for the individual, obvious at all times. When visiting, we are made to feel welcome and comfortable. Efforts made for the entertainment and activities for residents are very good and varied and I am sure enjoyed by many.

We had very little time to find a home that would meet my mother-in-law's needs and also one that would live up to our high expectations. From the moment we were met at the door by the General Manager who invited us, at no notice to look around Westacre Nursing Home we were pleasantly surprised and heartened by the homely atmosphere and the passion and dedication of the staff. It is a very happy and friendly environment for residents, staff and other family visitors alike. The en-suite room was beautifully decorated and we were able to fill it with lots of flowers and personal memories. We cannot thank the staff enough for helping my mother-in-law and our family cope with her terminal illness; the encouragement and reassurance has been amazing. This home is a hidden gem in a lovely city and made our final time together as a family very special. A massive thank you to all the staff and residents of Westacre.

I would have no reservations in recommending Westacre Nursing Home. My mother-in-law was admitted for palliative care and yet the staff never gave up on her; they kept on coming up with new ways to make her as comfortable as possible. Even though the family had a relatively short relationship with Westacre, all the staff, from the manager, nurses, carers to the kitchen staff, were invariably both warm and professional. The atmosphere was always friendly; we are so grateful that we were encouraged to share our meals with my mother-in-law in her beautiful sunny room as we now have some wonderful memories of her. We feel so very glad that such a lovely lady spent her last weeks in such a warm and caring environment.
