A team of highly qualified and attentive staff really focus on the individual needs of residents with a tailored care plan for each person. And their dedication can be seen across the board - in cooking, hospitality and organising activities.

The team are also very keen to promote a home from home atmosphere recognising that this is the residents' home and they want them to feel relaxed and comfortable and safe.

I called to see my friend was moved to Barchester Westvale House Care Home.
I have been a carer for a few years and have been in quite a few nursing homes and was very impressed. Outside was smart and welcoming. Reception were very nice, friendly and helpful. First impressions, clean and tidy, wheelchair
friendly, large life, lovely decor and the dining room looked like a restaurant with menu displayed. Lovely, well done.

I just feel at the moment they are short of staff, the rooms haven't always been cleaned to a good standard. The furniture in Mum's room is looking quite shabby (drawers not fitting well).
Sometimes she is given food she doesn't like and she needs to eat because she's underweight.
The regular staff
are excellent.

We are very grateful for the excellent care provided from the time my mother in law was discharged from hospital following two fractures until her death in September 2022. She reached the age of 102 so was extremely frail, and although she didn't manage to regain her mobility she did manage to enjoy
the facilities in a wheel chair. Particularly impressive was the skin care.

My mum has been in Westvale House Care Home for 18 months, since the middle of the pandemic. My mum loves living there, and the staff are all very caring and kind. My mum had a couple of visits from her friends over the past week. Both of them said to me how impressed they were with the welcome, cleanliness
and friendliness at Westvale House - as am I. And how happy my mum is living in Westvale House - mum's friend said she had never seen someone living in a care home so happy! I chose Westvale House on the advice of a friend whose mum had been a resident there. I am really pleased we did, they have the highest standards of care and cleanliness for the residents and lots of activities for them.

I am very happy with the care and consideration my sister receives at Westvale. More importantly, my sister likes the staff and routine in her life; she tells me so. The care she receives has stopped her from being admitted to the hospital, as was previously happening before she came to Westvale. Thank
you seems such a small word to say to everyone at Westvale, but it's meant with sincerity.

Using all services as a resident for three and a half years the staff are charming to my friend and very positive under restrictions. Many thanks for your care and support during this challenging time. My friend always feels safe and secure living here and enjoys the high quality of care given. Activities
and Church services on a Sunday are most important to her. The garden is an area my friend enjoys very much, weather permitting.

My father has just returned from his stay at Westvale House care home and thoroughly enjoyed his stay. This is the second time he has needed respite care at Westvale and he was looking forward to visiting the home again and seeing all the staff again. My father is non-verbal due to a stroke but is very
independent, but the staff at Westvale look after him with dignity and care for all his needs. He loves sitting in the gardens at the rear of the care home as the scenery is beautiful and is very peaceful. When ringing the care home each day to ask how he is doing, the staff always know what he has been doing, what he has had for his meals and what activities he has been doing, so this is reassuring to me to know he is happy and in a safe place. When contacting the care home to arrange his respite by phone or email the manager and all the staff always get back to me with any queries I may have immediately. Would definitely recommend Westvale if you need temporary or emergency respite.

Finding the right home for mum was a very difficult and upsetting time. It was such a relief to find Westvale House, it is a modern, bright and happy home. My mum looks like a different person in the time she has lived there and that is credit to the care and dedication of all the staff. She feels happy,
safe and secure knowing that someone is always right there to help, reassure and look after her (particularly at night). The staff are friendly, professional and approachable.
Mum has made friends, she enjoys sitting chatting and laughing with them and taking part in the varied activities, she always enjoys the singer. The food is excellent with lots of choices and mum looks forward to mealtimes. I would have no hesitation in recommending Westvale House Care Home.

The care home is beautiful. Mum is treated with the utmost respect, dignity, and care as she approaches the end of her life. The staff work to ensure she is comfortable, spotlessly clean, and nothing is too much trouble. A calm place which is extremely well run by the best of people in its field.

During Dad's relatively short time here, he was treated with the utmost care and respect by everyone at Westvale House.
His room was comfortable with a lovely view into the garden, and although Dad rarely ventured into the lounge area, when he did, he really enjoyed what was going on.
Generally,
a very friendly atmosphere throughout the home with a fabulous group of dedicated and caring staff.
Through what is always going to be a difficult time for everyone, their support and kindness to both Dad, my wife and I, especially during Dad's final days was truly outstanding - thank you all so much.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.648)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.648) out of 10 for Barchester Westvale House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.648 for Barchester Westvale House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (148 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 213 Ratings = 4.648

  • b) 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 Barchester Westvale House Care Home is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 61 registered maximum number of service users is 12.2, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Joined: 2019

Hello, my name is Natalie and I am the Deputy Manager here at Westvale House.


I joined the Westvale team in March 2025, but I have been with Barchester since 2019 when I joined as a Registered Nurse at Cheshire Grange Care Home, this is where I progressed to become Head of Unit, then Acting Deputy Manager, before working across the region as Deputy Manager supporting multiple homes – this is where I fell in love with Westvale House, so when the permanent position became available for Deputy Manager, there was no question this is where I wanted to be.


I decided to become a nurse when my children were small and I was a carer, I quickly discovered I love working in care, looking after people makes me happy. Whether that be my family or patients in a hospital or residents in a care home, it gives my life meaning. As a nurse it can be the most challenging job but also the most rewarding job.


I am a true believer in team work and I value every member of staff. Each department cannot work well without the other. I aim to support the staff so they feel appreciated, educated and empowered to be able to their job to the best of their abilities and in doing so, we as a team can deliver the best care possible to our residents.

Most of all I love the interaction and variety my role provides, and I feel privileged to be able to make a difference in people’s lives by ensuring their home is maintained and presented to a high standard.

Hello, my name is Joy and I am a Senior Care Assistant at Westvale House.


I have worked here at Westvale House for the past 19 years and I have seen many changes, but what always remains the same is the level of high standard care which we deliver as a home to all our residents and the friendliness of the staff. I really do feel honoured to work here at Westvale House for Barchester.
Please visit us and see for yourself.


Outside work I enjoy shopping and dining out with friends and family and always ready for a sing-a-long at the karaoke.
