Review from Paul B (Son of Resident) published on 9 May 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Father became a resident at the home in October 2022 for nursing and palliative care. He shared a bedroom with another male resident. The bedroom and home were always clean and tidy. Carers were always attentive, if sometimes a little rushed. Alarms fitted for each bedroom, my Father was dependent
on Carers for all of his needs, he was unable to walk. My Father was well looked after, and at the end of life, was treated with dignity and respect.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
If you are looking for a care home for your loved one this is the place. The staff are very person-centred and dedicated to their job role. The overall package is home from home, caring, respectful and dignified at all times. My dad's last few weeks at Westcroft Nursing Home were spent in a very caring
and respectful environment. I did not worry or have any concerns when he was there. At the end of his life, the staff showed compassion and respect to us all.
Reply from Ketan Patel, Director at Westcroft Nursing Home

Hi Tracy. Many thanks for your kind words. It was a pleasure to look after your Dad. Regards to you and all the family.

Westcroft ticks my three boxes of caring for my wife, making sure she is comfortable, pain-free and treated with dignity. I have nothing but admiration for the professional and caring way that my wife is being looked after.

Review from Tim L (Son of Resident) published on 21 December 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Superb care, amazing staff, friendly atmosphere.
My mother was there for over two years and I cannot fault anything, from the first initial viewing giving a friendly feeling to the caring staff who were always welcoming.
I liked it that they would make sure the residents were downstairs in the lounge
every day (unless they were ill), where there would be daily activities keeping them occupied, and a lovely garden which in summer is a nice change from the lounge, the staff not only knew the residents but also knew their relatives.
The food was fantastic, so much variety with a separate dining area to eat in.
From day one we were told if there was anything we weren’t happy with to mention it to the management, which I don’t actually think we had anything to mention.
I’m so pleased we chose Westcroft Nursing Home for our mother as it was so important for my father, me and my sisters we chose correctly.
If you want a caring, friendly home for your loved one you will not go wrong at Westcroft.

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.
