Mum had regular physio and occupational therapy from the kind and knowledgeable therapists so she was prepared for home when she was discharged. I visited daily and was always welcomed. Thank you.

Physio and OT therapy assistants - excellent progress made. Reliance on incontinence supplies rather than toileting. Weekend staff limited in number. My parent was only offered help to shower once in two weeks. In the last week of stay, the staff were more interactive with the resident but not always. Social care initiated by myself - no meetings set up until I contacted them.
Friendly, helpful carers. Regular physio and group exercises helped me get back on my feet. Good meals.

My mother was extremely poorly following a fall, the staff have been very kind in assisting her to feel more comfortable. Very nice facilities and excellent care.

I spent three weeks at Westgate for rehabilitation and was made to feel most welcome. It has a relaxed feel to the place and the staff are easily able to make new residents comfortable with the routines so it doesn't feel strange for long. The relaxed feel belies the work that is done with...
The morning exercise class and breakfast club give the opportunity to meet and interact with fellow residents. For me personally, it meant I was able to return home with no additional services, which seemed unlikely when I arrived.
Overall my stay has been satisfactory. My one complaint is that it has been distressing for me when at night the staff were noisy and inconsiderate. My room was opposite the office and they congregated there. It would have been thoughtful if they had closed the door.

Wonderful care. Staff are extremely helpful and caring. Food was very good. Just some dishes that I personally wasn't keen on. Overall very happy with my stay.

If you are a resident or visitor they were all so nice.
Dad was only a temporary resident for physio care.
The rooms were amazing, so comfortable - cosy.

We knew that he was receiving the very best of care from when he arrived until he passed away. I cannot recommend them enough.

Westgate seems to run well.
At times it felt a long wait after a buzzer press.
However, I totally understand how stretched the staff are caring for all the residents.
Staying here and being cared for so well gave my family great peace of mind.
Thank you for all your hard work.

Dad was treated with compassion and respect by all staff, at all times.
Our family was fully supported, the staff went above and beyond.
Dad passed away with dignity and his pain was managed well.
Thank you to all at Westgate, from the heart.
My uncle came to Eastgate after a second fall caused a second hip fracture which had occurred during his rehab in hospital after his first hip fractured. Compared to them your rehab centre has been brilliant. Every staff member has shown such care, professionalism and kindness.
