Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A massive thank you to Westleigh Lodge and the amazing and caring staff, my mum has only been here for a few days but she has received the best care she has ever had in any other care setting, The lovely staff at Westleigh have gone above and beyond for mum to get to know her and understand how to best
support her, and us as her family. I have never experienced such a compassionate and loving environment and didn't think we would ever get the care for mum that we knew she deserved. Westleigh have given us the ability to be comfortable leaving mum knowing she will be happy, comfortable and well looked after. Thank you Westleigh for giving us the reassurance we have been searching for.

My mum has been living at Westleigh Lodge over 18 months. It is lovely to see she has settled in, I cannot praise the staff who work there enough. My mum seems happy and well supported. All the staff I have come into contact with are very pleasant and professional. As well as the excellent care my mum
receives, the staff are pleasant and welcoming to me, always taking time out to welcome me when I visit mum, many thanks.

The staff are lovely and are easy to talk to and approach with any problems or requests. I feel like I can trust them to look after my dad and I don't have to worry that my dad will not have the care he needs. They have taken taken time to get to know my dad and his likes and dislikes.

Mum has been a resident for three years now. Previously been in two other homes where she did not receive adequate care or compassion, resulting in numerous serious falls and fractures. The staff at Westleigh are wonderful and have built an incredible rapport and care regime for Mum. It is clean and
the food is very good.

My 97-year-old granmamar came here after having a bad time at her last care home. They are always very welcoming and helpful. My gran seems very settled and happy. The staff even bring us ice cream when we come. They have made her room lovely and even printed off photos to put in her room of pictures
we took when we visited as a family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have found that Westleigh Lodge is like home from home. The kindness, respect and care given to the residents by all the amazing staff is outstanding and they make visitors so welcome at any time and answer any concerns that need to be addressed. My husband was transferred to Westleigh Lodge after
being in hospital for five months. He has settled in so well and always looks clean and cared for. It is good to see him relaxed and happy, it means so much. The overall feeling of dignity, care and friendliness, this is what a nursing home should be like. Kindest regards.

The staff always go out of their way for Nan to make sure she is comfortable. Grandad stays most of the day to be with Nan and they also look after him to make sure they're both happy. Nan hasn't been here long but she's been well looked after and settled in lovely because of the support from the staff.

I take my grandad 5-7 days a week. The staff are always chatty, friendly and informative. I love hearing about the little details about my nan even as simple as her enjoying dessert. Treat Grandad with so much love and respect, fully recommend it.

From the very first time I came to Westleigh Lodge Care Home and met some of the staff I was convinced that this was the place for my wife and I. We were not disappointed. The staff are absolutely brilliant nothing is too much trouble. They are always happy and smiling and encourage the residents to
be positive and assist them when needed. My wife who is blind also with dementia and fatigue is improving in leaps and bounds and she is now smiling again. Thank you.

The care Mum has received has been exceptional. All staff and carers have treated Mum with genuine care and affection and with dignity. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming with daily activities. As Mum started to decline in health the level of care has been amazing, ensuring she is comfortable and
well looked after with her needs met over and above. It is a great comfort to the family to know she is being cared for by such committed and caring staff.

Mum moved to Westleigh Lodge from another home where she was nursed in bed and had given up. Since moving to her new home she has improved so much, she is out of bed in communal areas, joining in with activities and walking again on a zimmer frame. The staff from management down have all been brilliant,
nothing is too much trouble, Mum is shown dignity and so much patience. She's even been out in the community which she's not done since before Covid. Can't thank the staff enough for all the excellent care they provide.

My mum has been in Westleigh Lodge since March 2022. I cannot express the level of care and affection my Mum receives. It was never easy to let go as you always think you can cope. My Dad, brother and myself are so fortunate to have got Mum in Westleigh Lodge. We turn up any time of the day unannounced
and never need to make an appointment, nothing is too much trouble. I have two words - Thank You!

Westleigh Lodge is a fantastic care home. My mum has been a resident for over six years and throughout this time I couldn't have wished for better care, support and love, every member of staff has shown to all the residents and family members. The staff really do everything they can to provide a happy
home-from-home environment. I can't thank them enough for providing Mum with the care that I can't give her. Every member of staff is an absolute angel.

My dad was on a discharge to assess bed at Westleigh Lodge, I just want to thank you all for the wonderful care and support you gave my dad whilst he was with you for those few weeks in May and June. It was a huge comfort to me to know that, as I lived such a long way from them he was being so well
cared for in your home. Thank you again, with best wishes.

The last two years have been very hard for all the staff, but they have really been fantastic. They are always very polite and friendly and happy to help visitors. Through the pandemic, they were very good with the visiting in the pod and in their rooms. My mother really loves them as she gets really
good care. I'm glad she lives here, so thank you all for your good care at Westleigh Lodge Care Home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.750)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.750) out of 10 for Westleigh Lodge 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.750 for Westleigh Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (101 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.75
  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 Westleigh Lodge Care Home is based on 11 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 11 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.
