My wife has been a resident in the nursing home for 15-months. She was given a very warm and friendly greeting on her arrival. I think this sets the character of the home. I consider the carers carry out the interaction with the residents with kindness and feeling for the residents. During normal times, activities and entertainment are thought up and carried out to involve the residents to engage and occupy their minds. The home is well managed and kept clean and tidy. During the recent difficult times, policies have been designed to ensure the safety of residents. I am sure staff have denied themselves meeting with only a few people outside the home in order to ensure the health of residents was the priority.
I was in respite after having COVID infection and I feel honoured to have been placed in Westerleigh Nursing Home. The staff and care were of a very high standard and would recommend this facility to all. The catering standard was that of a 3/5 star hotel and can find no fault with this.

The activities team are always thinking of new and stimulating things for residents to take part in and always help those who are not so capable. The food is always varied and generous with tea, coffee and biscuits served regularly. Over I am happy with my mother's care at Westerleigh and she is happy to live there because she is treated as a very special person, (which she is).
