Review from Carolyn G (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 August 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was very well looked after when she was a resident. Everyone was very caring and she was very pleased with the service she received.
Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and they did their best to accommodate Mum's wishes.
Everyone I encountered was kind and courteous and I felt very
comfortable leaving my mum in their care.

The atmosphere is caring and loving. Staff go out of their way to be kind and attentive to the residents. It really is like a home, not an institution. My very elderly mother is happy and well looked after. The delightful sitting/dining room looks out at the sunny terrace and gardens.

My brother has been in this home for about 18 months. He is well looked after. Staff are for the most part exceptional, very caring and very aware of his medical needs.


I am contacted immediately there is a concern about his health. All the staff are very welcoming to visitors and encourage social

outings for my brother.

Really caring people (management and staff) run this place. Some rooms are basic, some better with attractive views. My wife did not want to go into a care home when her illness became terminal but she settled in and developed a good rapport with the staff during the three months she was there.

Review from Gordon A (Partner of Resident) published on 30 October 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My partner was required to move out of her nursing home as the home could not afford to fund nursing care. She had to move in 10 days. I visited the new home midday Saturday and met the manager, who was so efficient with a direct line to the finance director. The manager gave me a tour of the room,
home, gardens and staff. Sunday, I again visited the home and agreed for my partner to be admitted. She was moved in by Thursday. Without the efficiency of the staff, the move into the home was very comfortable. Any equipment was immediately supplied and the doctor was called in straight away.

Review from PM W (Partner of Resident) published on 5 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My partner was now needing palliative care. It was an urgent need. Dealing with the situation alone I was anxious and concerned about the whereabouts and the care that he would receive in a Nursing home requiring very particular attention to a medical condition needing very careful monitoring and recording.
All of this, my partner is receiving.


I visited several homes and guided by instinct I knew immediately it was the right place for my partner. Apart from the beautiful gardens on entering the home for the first time I found it to be a very harmonious, homely atmosphere. There is also a real sense of friendly teamwork among all the staff which filtrates through to the patient, love and care they give to those they look after and a welcome too for the person visiting (me).


All this I believe the manager has helped to create, who has a very balanced, approachable, aloof of role, hands on style of management who personally cares about those he has in his care and gets things done. I like this. My partner and myself too have benefited from this.


I have only been able to commend on the short time that my partner has been at Westhampnett House but I have been visiting every day and each day has been the same. It is really care requiring a lot of thanks.

Review from Alison C (Sister of Resident) published on 10 February 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This place has a very good atmosphere. The home is situated in a beautiful part of Sussex. The house is very attractive from the outside, and occupies a lovely position in a beautiful garden where residents can walk, or sit outside. Inside, this grand house has been adapted to provide for some 30
residents, in rooms of varying sizes with different facilities. The manager does an excellent job; the nurses are well-qualified, helpful, and kind; the carers also. It is obvious, from the way the staff treat each other, that the team is well bonded and there is genuine friendship between its members. The food is good (cooked on site) - there are a few choices for each meal. Activities and entertainments are arranged. Residents are treated as individuals, well looked after, clean, and respected. Visiting arrangements are good, in that we are welcome all the time.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.389)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.389) out of 10 for Westhampnett House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.389 for Westhampnett House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (104 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 149 Ratings = 4.389
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Westhampnett House Nursing Home is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
