An excellent retirement home. Management and administration staff are brilliant. The nursing team and care team on days and nights are second to none. Housekeeping and hotel services also excellent. Would not hesitate to recommend The Westbury Care Home.

We are truly grateful for the excellent care our father-in-law receives at The Westbury. The staff are compassionate, attentive, and treat him with dignity and respect. The environment is always clean and welcoming, making it feel like home. It gives us great peace of mind knowing he is in such good

From the moment my father arrived at The Westbury Care Home, the care has been exemplary. The staff are helpful, cheerful, respectful and communicative and liaise well with his doctor's surgery on his behalf. That was four months ago and my father has gone from strength to strength, has regained his
appetite (he loves the food!) and tells us he feels safe and content and is treated with dignity. I have had to rearrange my visiting times in order that he can join in the activities, which is lovely!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My dad came to the care home from the hospital with weeks to live. He was bedbound and needed round-the-clock care with his Parkinsons and heart failure. The staff were friendly and caring with a few exceptions, while he didn't always enjoy the food they did their best for him. We did hope he would
be put out in the chair more but that didn't really happen.
Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at The Westbury Care Home

Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. We are sorry you feel your Father did not have more opportunity to sit out in his chair. Having reviewed records and spoken with the team who supported him, it is apparent that although we always aim to tailor our care provision to the needs and preferences of those we support, on this occasion, we must prioritise their health and wellbeing and work in their best interests. The home team was most grateful for the card of appreciation you sent for the care, support and kindness shown to your Father whilst at The Westbury.

Help and kindness shown in sorting out hospital appointment transport for me and my daughter who accompanies me on day appointments at the hospital. Always a nice welcome back from care home staff on my return from hospital. Would love more contact with staff as I am mainly bedbound due to health condition,
and not well enough to attend or enjoy the organised daily social events at the care home. Care home very cosy and clean.

The Westbury Care Home provided excellent care for our mum over the last fifteen months. All the staff were kind and considerate of her needs and also to dad whilst visiting. We can't thank them enough for the sense of reassurance we felt as a family whilst she was in their care.

My dad was a resident at the care home for just over a year. During that time he was treated with care and dignity by all members of staff. His family were always greeted with a friendly and professional approach and were always asked if needed anything, even just to talk. When the time approached my
dad received end-of-life care and his wishes were followed when he died. The staff could not have done anything more to help ease any suffering or distress for us and I always felt the care given was like that of an extended family.

All the staff do a first-class job. My daughter is progressing with them despite her deafness. We are pleased that some sign language training has become standard which will help them. This will hopefully help her and anyone with hearing loss she could follow on. Your staff look after her very well.
From all the family thank you.

We cannot praise all your staff enough for the excellent care they gave our mum whilst she was with you. The care at the end was all we could have wished for, towards Mum and towards us all. The Westbury Care Home is the best choice we could ever have made for Mum. Thank you so very much.

My mum arrived at The Westbury Care Home in November 2020 she was welcomed and settled in well. She loved being in the well-kept garden. All the staff looked after her well and often said what a lovely lady she was. Unfortunately, my mum passed on Monday 20th February.
Just wanted to say thank you
for taking care of her.

Since arriving in 2018, my grandmother has received a high standard of care and support. Our family are so pleased that she is settled and happy. The staff are so positive and interested in her which is lovely to observe. My grandmother thoroughly enjoys the variety of activities and I'm sure these
keep both her mind and body active. I think this is a strength of The Westbury. I really enjoyed watching the band with my grandmother at Christmas. I would highly recommend The Westbury Care Home to prospective residents.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.794)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.794) out of 10 for The Westbury Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.814 for The Westbury Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (99 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 118 Ratings = 4.814
  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 4.98 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Westbury Care Home is based on 10 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 51 registered maximum number of service users is 10.2. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.2 = 0.98
  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.
