This attractive and professionally managed care home rated Outstanding in ‘Well Led’ by the Care Quality Commission in January 2020, has been supporting the local community of Ware for over fifteen years. Established and purpose-built with a positive reputation, Westgate House Care Centre offers quality nursing, residential, rehabilitation and dementia care in a peaceful but central location.
The long-standing home manager, who has been in post for over five years, leads an effective and stable staff group. This, and exceptional in-house training, ensures a skilled and responsive care team to meet the changing individual needs and expectations of every resident. With a caring and compassionate team, where nothing is too much trouble to help residents settle into their new home, the family ethos and the warm relationships the staff achieve are greatly valued by both residents and visitors.
Westgate House has some highly attractive and charming themed day areas in which to relax or socialise; these include the Garden Café – a firm favourite for those who like to enjoy a coffee and chat with the morning paper, the Cinema room, a Reminiscence room, and Café Pierre. Comfortable bedrooms have their own ensuite toilets and washbasins and the home’s showers and bathrooms are newly refurbished.
There are a number of outdoor spaces including a sensory courtyard for residents to benefit from and a separate garden for spending time with friends and relatives.
The facilities have been designed to enhance resident care and quality of life, to optimise cleanliness and help minimise the spread of any infections; this includes a natural ventilation system, wood effect flooring, hand washing facilities in every room and the use of hand gel dispensers throughout the home.

I must admit, I was a little dubious about spending time in a care home not having any experience as to what care homes are all about. And I must admit any fears were washed away once I was here. The room, the staff, the food was definitely up to standard and the staff are a credit to Westgate House Care Centre. Thank you to all who put themselves out to rehabilitate me.
If you are looking for a care home, look no further, as I can fully recommend Westgate House. From the very first day, they have been nothing but helpful, obliging and understanding in difficult times. The facilities are superb compared to other Care Centres visited.

I have been very happy here. The staff and carers are very good. I miss all of them when I go home. There has not been an unhappy moment since I came here on the 11-08-17. We are all one big happy family.

For myself, as his wife, all my questions were dealt with in a kind manner and again nothing was too much trouble.
We were both well pleased with the physio he had and again all questions were dealt with kindly and the aim towards his recovery well explained.
I arrived needing help to get back on my feet and walking. The support was good and after a few days of walking and exercise, I could manage long corridors and stairs.

It is a basic human right to be able to be toileted. My rehabilitation has been slow and I thank everyone for their efforts.
I have been a resident at Westgate House for a period of around one month and I have found it very much to my liking. The staff are friendly and obliging and always help when the need arises. The accommodation is superb, very light and airy and is kept spick and span. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

Excellent food and staff have been wonderful. My husband is now back on his feet due to all the staff's help in the therapy team with occupational therapy.

My sister, brothers and myself were so taken not only by the place itself - but by the warm, friendly and above all else, caring staff. They made us all feel very welcome at whatever time we turned up. No question was too trivial - if I didn't get an answer that day, it was there waiting for me the next. Thank you so very much for everything.
The home and staff are lovely.
