Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are incredibly grateful to everyone at Westgate Nursing Home. From the very beginning, the care and compassion shown to our dad, Arthur, has been outstanding. Every carer is amazing - kind, patient, and genuinely caring. Seeing Arthur's face light up when he sees them says it all. Since moving from
North Middlesex University Hospital six months ago, his wellbeing has improved remarkably, and knowing he's looked after 24/7 gives us such peace of mind. The staff go above and beyond, from fun activities and events to encouraging residents to socialize, creating a truly warm and welcoming atmosphere. Every visit is a pleasure - we are always greeted warmly by reception, nurses, carers, cleaning staff, and management. The home is spotless, the meals are lovely, and every member of staff contributes to making Westgate safe, caring, and happy.
We couldn't be happier with Arthur's care and feel completely reassured that he is in the best possible hands. - Susan, Julie & Jane
Reply from Sarah Williams, Marketing Manager at Westgate House Care CentreThank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review. We are so pleased to hear how well Arthur has settled in since joining us from North Middlesex University Hospital, and that you've seen such a positive improvement in his wellbeing. Knowing that his face lights up when he sees our team is the greatest compliment we could receive - that's exactly the kind of relationship we strive to build with every resident.

Your recognition of our carers, nurses, reception, housekeeping, activities team and management will be shared with them all. Our entire team works hard to create a warm, welcoming and engaging environment, and it's wonderful to know that this gives you peace of mind and makes every visit a pleasure.

Thank you for placing your trust in us to care for Arthur. It is a privilege to look after him and to support your family.

The care home was selected by the hospital but it turned out to be a good choice. The management, receptionists and carers were always polite, friendly, helpful and treated us and mum with respect. Mum was unable to join in with many of the activities so I can't really comment on those. We were happy
with the care that mum received and appreciate the help given to us by the Home Manager.
Reply from Sarah Williams, Marketing Manager at Westgate House Care CentreWe're really pleased to hear that, although the home was initially selected by the hospital, it turned out to be a positive choice for you and your family. Your kind words about our management team, receptionists and carers mean a great deal - we always aim to treat every resident and their loved ones with warmth, dignity and respect.

We're also glad you felt supported by the Home Manager throughout your Mum's stay, and that you were happy with the care she received.

I came to Westgate House for rehabilitation after mini stroke and pneumonia and the care I have received during my stay was excellent. All the staff were kind, caring and helpful at all times and treated me with respect. Physiotherapy staff were professional, patient and understanding and helped me
to regain my strength. I arrived at Westgate House in the ambulance unable to walk and left walking to the car with the frame after just 2 weeks.
Thank you every one, I can recommend this rehabilitation and care home highly.
Reply from Sarah Williams, Marketing Manager at Westgate House Care CentreWe're delighted to hear that you received excellent care during your rehabilitation stay at Westgate House, and that our team supported you with kindness, respect and compassion throughout.

It's especially lovely to hear your progress in such a short time - arriving unable to walk and leaving just two weeks later walking to the car with a frame is a fantastic achievement. Our physiotherapy team will be so proud to know their support, patience and encouragement helped you regain your strength.

Thank you again for your recommendation. We wish you continued recovery and all the very best for the future.

Following a fall and admission to hospital for 25 weeks I was discharged into the care of Westgate where I learnt to walk, cook, self care etc. In that time I was there (4 weeks) + went from not being able to do anything to being able to function, nearly back to normal. The OT and physio staff were
instrumental in this progress and forever grateful to Debs and Caroline. The cares and nursing team were always very kind to me.
Reply from Sarah Williams, Marketing Manager at Westgate House Care CentreWe're truly delighted to hear how far you progressed during your time with Westgate following such a long hospital stay. To go from not being able to do anything to being able to walk, cook, and manage your self-care again in just four weeks is an incredible achievement - and you should be very proud of yourself.

We're especially pleased to hear that our OT and physiotherapy team played such an important role in supporting your recovery. Debs and Caroline will be deeply touched by your kind words, and we will ensure your thanks are passed on to them.

Thank you also for recognising the care and nursing team. Compassion, kindness and encouragement are at the heart of what we do, and it means a great deal to know you felt supported throughout your stay.

Wishing you continued strength and progress in your recovery - and thank you again for trusting Westgate with your rehabilitation and care.

We was so happy with my husband's care while he was at Westgate. Each and every member of staff whatever their status showed care and empathy. Physio was very good and the team interactions were made fun while at the same time beneficial to my husband. Tessa on reception and the young lady at weekends
were very friendly and welcoming. Management and social care kept me and my husband updated and reassured at all times. A lovely place to be.

Lovely clean room includes private toilet/wash facilities. Seating for visitors. Kind staff who do not complain when you press the alarm for assistance. Downside when busy periods are inevitable for fast response. Hospital air beds uncomfortable in the point of becoming painful. All chairs too low for
taller people. Excellent physio equipment and physiotherapist, hairdresser and allowed to have a short trip out to access needed services. Personal body cleaning done with respect by both male and female carers. Can leave things no fear of being taken. Well managed clothes washing.

I came to Westgate House for rehabilitation after an operation to repair two broken bones in my ankle. During these eight weeks, my every need has been catered for with only one or two exceptions. I have been treated with great kindness and sympathy; the staff working efficiently and professionally
throughout. From the receptionist to the laundry and cleaning staff, to the managers from nurses to the carers, the physiotherapist and her helper, as well as the events organiser, everyone has been a part of the team. A traumatic event has proved to be so rewarding.

Wife went in from hosptial after a fall and a blood clot, which left her unable to walk. The physio team were fantastic, giving her plenty of their time. After a few weeks, she was up and walking, all be it with a frame. After being home a few days, she now walks with me, just holding her hand and no
frame. This would not have been possible without their patience and kindness.

    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 109 registered maximum number of service users is 21.8, which has been reached with 79 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
