I cannot thank the staff enough. My mum needs total care/full care, I am relaxed in knowing that she is in the right place and that the staff have her wellbeing at heart. I can carry on working and looking after the rest of my family knowing Mum is being carefully looked after.

Our experience with Westgate House Care Centre was completely professional, caring and exceptional care. My mum was given 24-hour care with respect, dignity and compassion. Communication through the nurses and carers on Primrose Unit was also extremely good, which helped me to be able to do the right things to keep my mum comfortable and calm. All other staff were very caring and helpful with all my needs and my mums.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us, and we're thrilled to hear about your experience.

I enjoyed my stay at Westgate House. The staff were lovely, worked together in teamwork. All worked hard. Unfortunately the food wasn't very good, very cold, some uncooked. Had issues twice due to food. Still haven't received the bannister. Which should have been fitted before I came home.

My wife is suffering from dementia that has made it hard for me to care for her. It was with reluctance that I put her into care. However, I am pleased that I chose Westgate House. The standard of care and patience shown by all members of staff is off the scale. I could not have asked for more and I know that my wife is in safe hands.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're honoured to provide the care and support for your wife.
I was very pleased with the way the staff treated the residents and to get us back on our feet again, the physio was excellent for my recovery. I cannot fault the way I was looked after by everyone.

My experience at Westgate House was of mixed feelings. I must say that the physio lady was absolutely brilliant, she motivated everyone and made sure that everyone was tailored to what they can do. She was funny and deserves a medal and I have improved my mobility under her care. I cannot speak more highly of this lady. The staff were good and the manager was excellent at following up appointments etc. The only thing that let this care home down was the food, which was no good. The food in the evening was cold and could not be eaten also several of the residents had a stomach bug that lasted a few days which also affected the residents' visitors/ The room was not cleaned every day, when they did do it, they never cleaned the sink or toilet. They used to mop the floor but there were still crumbs on the floor where they never swept up.

Excellent care over the 19 days my mum was with you. Her confidence in walking is much higher now than ever before her accident. All staff were friendly and welcoming to us both.

We generally visit at weekends. My father-in-law is in the secure dementia unit. By definition, this can be a tough experience. Our experience is significantly positively impacted by the welcome we receive from the reception staff. I wish this to be noted. The overall impression is of a high standard of hygiene and cleanliness throughout. This is exemplified by the cleaning staff member we often encounter as she diligently and with care attends to her duties in my father-in-law's room.
Thank you for your kind words. We're glad our reception and cleaning staff have positively impacted your visits. Your feedback means a lot and will be shared with the team.
I have been so happy in Westgate House and would recommend it to anyone.
