The staff are all so lovely and you can tell they genuinely care about the residents. There are activities set up by staff most days, a weekly therapy dog who visits and outside entertainment which all improve the quality of life for residents. My nan and my grandad are currently at this care home and
both are happier and healthier than they were at home which shows how much care they receive.

Lovely home, really lovely staff and a homely atmosphere. Food is varied and very good. An amazing range of activities, great social media page which shows all the activities that the staff do with the residents - and very good informative bi-monthly newsletter. I spend a lot of time there with my mum
and visiting Westcroft is a pleasure. Communication is very good and everything is open and above board. I thank God for Westcroft and all their staff and for the many people who recommended the home to us.

My dad went into Westcroft after not eating for 10 days and only sipping water. He's started to eat and drink and really coming out of his self, he's been in a hospital bed for over 2 months and after a week in Westcroft with excellent care and attention, he was out in the communal area yesterday. I
couldn't believe my eyes, what a fabulous achievement of care. Thanks to Westcroft staff he's eating again and drinking, it's a miracle. So happy and looking forward to his ongoing recovery, thank you.

Such a beautiful clean and homely home, my dad has been there since March and he loves it there. Since going in as a resident Dad has come on loads after being very poorly, his meals are always well balanced freshly made in the kitchen no microwave meals like in some homes. There are always activities,
entertainment, physio etc going on daily. The management and staff are absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for everything you do for Dad we really appreciate everyone.

Mum has been at Westcroft for over 2 years now and I cannot fault this home. The care she receives on a daily basis is outstanding and all of the staff do a fantastic job. There is a wide range of activities offered to the residents on a daily basis. The activity coordinators tailor them to the individuals
and do a tremendous job. The home is always spotlessly clean. Whenever I walk into the home I always receive a warm welcome from everyone. I am so grateful that I found this home for Mum and would certainly recommend it to anyone who is having to find residential care for their loved one.

Like I believe the majority of children who face the challenge and worry of finally admitting that your parent's care needs cannot be met by yourself alone and that you need help. After the process of finding Westcroft and getting Dad settled in, I can truly say that he is very happy and content.
The
lovely ladies and gents at Westcroft are always helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them. The home has a social media page which I find really useful to see the day's events, and if not able to visit Dad I can always see him on the page.
The home is always clean and tidy, the staff are brilliant to him, and he has always enjoyed the meals cooked for him. Communication on personal matters and health are always communicated very quickly to you.
Although not the best communicator in the world that my dad is, I believe him to be happy and content at Westcroft.

My Mum is a resident at Westcroft Nursing Home because I live a distance from the home, I am not able to see her as much as I want to. However, when I visit, I see the great care she gets from the caring team. I particularly like seeing the pictures taken at Westcroft of the residents in their activities
on their social media page - and, more to the point, a video of the carers wishing my Mum a happy birthday which was truly wonderful! Thank you Westcroft Team!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.979)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.979) out of 10 for Westcroft Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.979 for Westcroft Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (187 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.979
  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 Westcroft Nursing Home is based on 16 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 16 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.
