I was welcomed when entering the care home with tea and biscuits, and was most pleased with the room and accessories provided. Most of the nursing staff are happy to help with minor tasks or anything I didn't understand; both female and male staff are always willing to help. I enjoyed the exercise classes, which encouraged us all to try harder. Hairdressers were a great pick-me-up, and having lunch together was good.
Thanks so much for your lovely review - we love caring for you here, you make us smile every day. If we can do anything further, please let us know.
I have found all members of the team at Westgate very professional and supportive with a kind and caring touch. They have made my stay here more pleasant than it would have been in the circumstances.

All the staff here have been very kind and caring. The physio team have been amazing. I couldn't walk when I came in, so I am going home with a stick. It is a friendly rehab centre and you are encouraged to socialise.

I was taken into Westgate House after a fall and thanks to the staff who were very friendly and helpful I am now back home.

I was referred from hosptial to Westgate House, Ware for physical rehabilitation after suffering from double pneumonia. Throughout my 3 week stay, I was made to feel very well supported, listened to and cared for by all the staff. Such a positive experience after two different hospital stays. I now feel stronger, fitter and better equipped with getting my old life back for good. Everyone could not have done more, and can genuinely not rate the care any higher!
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're so pleased you felt supported and cared for during your stay at Westgate House. Wishing you all the best in your continued recovery!

My father was a resident at Westgate Care Home and from day one, every member of staff-nurses, carers, activity coordinators, doctors, catering and housekeeping-has treated Dad with genuine warmth, patience and dignity.
Dad can be challenging and occasionally aggressive because of his condition, yet the team consistently responds with calm professionalism. They de-escalate difficult moments, keep us fully informed, and-most importantly-maintain Dad's sense of self-respect. His medication is managed meticulously, meals are nutritious and tailored to his tastes, and the home is spotless and welcoming.

My wife's stay at Westgate was very pleasant. She was treated wonderfully by all staff despite being difficult at times and could be quite unresponsive. They were always cheerful and would call her name even if just passing by. The medical care was very good, and I was kept informed of any deviation from the normal. Her end of life care was particular attentive and sympathetic (to me as well).
Our team is dedicated to providing care that is not only professional but also kind and understanding, especially during more challenging times. We're truly grateful for your kind words about the teams cheerfulness, compassion, and the way they kept you involved every step of the way. It was our privilege to care for your wife and our thoughts are with you.
