We are incredibly impressed by the staff, the home, the atmosphere and overall attention to detail. It has been incredibly reassuring to see how happy Mum is there in person as living abroad, we are not able to see Mum as often as we would like. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

Thank you so much, Elizabeth. Your Mum has settled well and she and her family (you and your brothers) are such an asset to our home. Thank you so much for all joining in and enjoying the whole experience. We all love your visits!
She has a lovely room and enjoys the hospitality and entertainment, which includes quizzes, pianists and lovely garden walks.

Thank you. I'm glad you saw how happy your Mum is, she has settled very well.
It has been a very pleasant experience meeting many people who all have their own problems and can share these. The activities and quizzes etc, we enjoy during various meetings are quite challenging but can be good fun. Nice, friendly and helpful staff!

My sister and I have been so very happy with the level of care our mum has received. The atmosphere is really friendly, and the activities are superb. Mum has loved all the love music, singing and the piano player.

Thank you so much, Susie; we all loved your mum and the glamour she brought to our home. No piano playing will be quite the same without her. Thank you to you and your sister for your kindness and love towards us all.
My nan has had the most excellent care. She is loved and cared for and has amazing 1-2-1 care. She has been here for five years and has gone from loving the entertainment and food to having puréed food - nothing is too much trouble.

My friend is not end-of-life, but I have seen her through her journey ever since she has been in Signature for the last five years. I've nothing but the greatest admiration, not only for the standard of care to which she's been offered but, more importantly, the singularly compassionate person-centric culture which seems to me to pervade every single member of Singnature's team and which has greatly contributed to me friend becoming part of their family.
Your friend was very dear to us all and much loved by the team. Thank you, Ian, for taking the time to share how fabulous our Clinical staff are; they treat our residents as if they were their own family.
All staff are exceptional.
Fantastic food and choice of food.
The care given is of the very highest standard.

I am delighted that Mum and I chose Signature at Westbourne, following the death of my father and Mum no longer being able to cope at home alone. From our initial enquiry, we were made to feel welcome, and all subsequent enquiries regarding moving in were handled sympathetically and with patience. The care staff are obviously happy to be working there - some of them have many years of service - and they treat residents with friendliness and respect. First-class facilities and a full daily programme are a major plus - residents can be as active or as relaxed as they, please. Thank you to the whole team for creating a comfortable safe place for my mum to live.
Thank you so much, Anna; your mum is such an asset to our home; the staff love her, her cheeky laugh and getting involved in everything; she has settled so well. Thank you for trusting us.
I live abroad, so it was a wonderful relief to visit and see my mother so at home here. The food is very good, and everyone is so friendly and courteous. Activities available and schedule of events give so many options or just relaxing in the cafe. Highly recommend.

Oh, Sarah, that's wonderful. Thank you so much; your mum is a very welcome addition to our lovely home and has truly embraced every aspect of making lovely friends. We are very proud of our home and staff, but it is our residents who provide such a lovely atmosphere.
After hunting around and visiting many care homes, we came across Signature at Westbourne Care Home. It stood out above others in many ways. The atmosphere when you walk in is positive, warm and welcoming, in fact, my mother-in-law still thinks she is staying in a posh hotel!

All aspects of Signature at Westbourne are excellent. Staff and management get 10/10 for their care/support and friendliness.

An amazing home who are taking great care of my grandmother. As a family, we are so pleased she is there, and all the staff are so friendly. They have fantastic meals, and I had a meal with my grandmother, which I really enjoyed. My grandmother also joins in all of the activities, and there is something for her to do each day; she has a better social life than me! Thank you so much for everything you do for all the residents.
Thank you, Laura; we are so happy that your family are happy. It's our residents and their families who make our home such a happy environment. Thank you for taking the time to share your views. Look forward to seeing you soon.
I have raised this with the management (months ago) that the facilities on the dementia floor are very poor - inappropriate furniture (worn out, tatty chairs that residents cannot get out of unaided), cramped, inadequate areas for quiet times, dark, dreary and unstimulating. This floor has been...
The dementia staff work well under these difficult conditions and are always very caring. All users of this floor deserve greater consideration.
Poor communication from management is an age-old problem.
We take all feedback we receive from our residents and their loved ones very seriously.

Thank you for taking the time to post your review.We take all feedback we receive from our residents and their loved ones very seriously.
Whilst we are pleased to hear of your positive feedback regarding our dementia care team, we are sorry to read your concerns around our care home's facilities.
We aim to provide our residents a lifestyle with peace of mind and regularly review our facilities and furnishings to ensure our residents are safe and feel supported.
In recent weeks, our care home and senior managers have been working closely with you and our wider community to share our plan to redecorate the dementia floor and address the specific nature of your concerns.
We outlined our planned redecoration and refurnishing of our dementia floor. Subject to contractors' availability, and ensuring residents’ care is not adversely impacted by the project, we intend work to start in May.
Thank you once again for posting your review and we look forward to continuing our discussions
The home is beautifully decorated and maintained, a variety of meals and snacks are provided, and there is a very good range of activities.

We are very proud of what our staff do to change lives every single day.

My mother has been a resident at Signature of Westbourne for five years. During this time, the core staff haven’t changed, which I think says a lot about the home. The care is exceptional, the staff really do care and always go above and beyond for Mum; they treat her as if she was one of their own family members. We were really lucky to find Signature of Westbourne and cannot thank them enough for what they do for her.

I have been working in Westbourne Tower Care Home for over 15 years. I have progressed throughout the company from Care Assistant to Lead Care to Reminiscence Coordinator and now Deputy Manager. I am very proud to lead a team, many of whom have been long-service team members, who constantly provide quality care whilst keeping our core values at the forefront of everything we do.
Working at Westbourne is a privilege and we are lucky to support our residents and each other every day.

I have been here since it opened in 2006. I can’t believe how time has flown by. Although I already had the skill set I was working as a Bank Chef alongside my own business and was asked to take on the managerial role which was an easy transition. I trained and worked in London, Morocco, France and Italy before returning to the UK and settling in Bournemouth. My food specialities are multicultural and the residents love it when I do theme days. I have been a major part of this home being awarded CQC Outstanding, the CQC assessor loved my secret ingredient “ a bit of love”. I run a monthly Dining Committee where residents can influence what is on the menu, likes and dislikes and I love nothing more than walking around the dining room on a daily basis to ensure their wishes have been followed. I like to surprise residents with their favourite dishes, for special occasions. I have to say I love my job and my residents make me smile every day. I am proud to say I work here.

I have worked here since 2006, and the things that have remained constant throughout that time are the love, dedication and unfaltering kindness my colleagues deliver every day. No two days are the same; there is always something going on which makes you smile and our residents become part of our extended family. We are committed to filling their days with happy moments.
My role is to market our home and welcome new residents into it, dealing with professionals and family members. Making a significant decision at a critical time is made easy when we have a beautiful product, lovely food, a great activities programme (including minibus outings) and caring staff, all coupled with happy appreciative residents and family members, this is borne out by our positive carehome.co.uk reviews.

I am passionate about person-centred care and ensuring that our residents live their lives as well as they wish, always upholding their wishes and preferences.
