My two elderly friends knew Westhaven as they had a relative living there, and were impressed by the home whenever they visited her. In time when they became more infirm they were happy to move in themselves. As a friend I saw how well looked after they were and how pleased to be in such a kind, happy
and well run place they were.There is a lovely, interested, hardworking group of cares who could not do more for the residents than they do.
Reply from maureen McDonough, Manager at Westhaven Nursing & Residential Home

Thank you for your kind review. It is nice for the staff to know that the personalised care they give is recognised by the families and friends.


It was our pleasure to look after them and they will be remembered fondly by us all. Thank you once again.

I felt very relieved and grateful towards all the staff at Westhaven because I felt that I was leaving my sister in good, kind, hands during the final weeks of her life. They could not have been more caring and attentive towards her and they also allowed me to keep in touch with both my sister and themselves
knowing I lived a long way away and could not visit very often.
Reply from Maureen McDonough, Manager at Westhaven Nursing & Residential Home

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. It was definitely our privilege to look after such a lovely, gentle lady as your sister. She was only with us a short time, but made a lasting impression on all who knew her. May she rest in peace.

My auntie sadly passed away in the home last week and was cared for wonderfully by all the staff at Westhaven. I heartedly recommend Westhaven for anyone or their loved ones. We, as a family were touched by their kind, thoughtful and professional manner.

Not being familiar with the care system until my mother was really incapacitated and required nursing care from hospital I was upset anxious and didn't know what to expect. However my thoughts were put at ease here at West Haven. Not only did she receive excellent care and dignity, but they became my
family in there I cannot express my gratitude enough. They looked after me.

Excellent care. Staff friendly and helpful to the family as well as the resident. Relative is clean and tidy and the staff have done well getting her to leave her room for meals and the communal room. Meals smell delicious! Premises are spotlessly clean. Management and admin also lovely. Very happy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum fell and broke her arm and we initially thought she could cope at home. Sadly that was not possible and we contacted Westhaven to see if mum could come to them for respite. The response from the Manager and the team was proactive and caring, and she went the next day and has been with them for 9
weeks. The care and support have been excellent, especially as I live many miles away and know mum was safe and well looked after gave me great peace of mind. The facilities are very good apart from the WIFI, and the rooms got very warm during the recent glorious weather! The range of activities provided was wide and mum thoroughly enjoyed them. Mum has improved and has now gone home but Westhaven is the place she would like to return to if she needed extra support in the future.

Thank you so much for your kind review we are always glad when someone can return home having had a positive experience helping to regain their independence. In will pass it o to the team that looked after your lovely mum and we are always here should you need us.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Treated with friendliness and respect by all staff. My husband found most staff to be caring and friendly. However, a few members did not appear to show as much patience and kind demeanour as others. On the whole, they treated him with warmth and friendliness as they did myself. He was given a choice
of meals and enjoyed them.
Reply from maureen McDonough, Manager at Westhaven Nursing & Residential Home

I was sorry to hear that you did not feel all staff were friendly and caring and I would have appreciated if you had expressed this to me at the time so I could address this with staff at the time. As always it was a pleasure to look after your husband and if he comes again for respite care please let me know immediately so any issues can be dealt with.

My sister moved from another setting to Westhaven in March 2024. I wish she had moved sooner. Although her needs were complex, they always listened to our suggestions and all staff (managers, nurses, care staff, hostess team and admin and maintenance staff) did their very best to befriend my sister
and help her settle and be comfortable. Their care, clinical acumen and compassion were always present, timely and never withheld. My lovely sister was safe in their care. Thank you all.

As a regular visitor to Westhaven, I was initially impressed with the security and cleanliness. I have on several occasions stayed for lunch which I found adequate and tasty. I find most of the staff extremely helpful and attentive which reassures me when leaving my dear friend.
Well done Westhaven.

On arrival staff are always polite and helpful. My aunts room is always clean and she always state that she feels safe. When needing medical attention it is always priority given. My aunt enjoys the activities in the lounge. If she is well enough. All in all a very efficiently run care home, with professional

My mother was a resident for 3 1/2 years at Westhaven until she passed away in November 2024. The staff were most kind and friendly and were very professional and attentive in the care they provided. Nothing was too much trouble and they were most responsive to her needs. My Mother was for the majority
of her stay in good humour and she was known for having a good laugh or joke with the staff. Latterly with her failing health the staff helped her retain her dignity (as much as possible). I (and family and friends) were always made to feel welcome in either taking her out for the day or just visiting in her room. I would have no hesitation in recommending Westhaven.

My friend was a resident at Westhaven for 6 years until she passed away in October 2024. She was extremely well cared for throughout this time. Everything was always immaculately clean, including her clothing, her bedding and her room. It was good to see some of the same faces throughout her stay, meaning
that not only was there continuity of care for my friend, but she got to see the same faces and got to know the people looking after her. On those occasions when my friend needed to be reviewed by a doctor, Westhaven always ensured that this was done promptly. In the final days leading to my friend's passing, Westhaven ensured that someone was sitting with her at all times, which was very moving. It is easy to see why Westhaven have won awards for the standard of care they provide.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.754)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.754) out of 10 for Westhaven Nursing & Residential 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.754 for Westhaven Nursing & Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (302 Excellents x 5) + (67 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 382 Ratings = 4.754
  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 Westhaven Nursing & Residential Home is based on 33 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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, which has been reached with 33 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.
