Over all time West Park has 9 reviews.
We can't praise them enough, we felt welcomed and more importantly, we knew that dad was being well looked after - everyone was aware of his health, and how he was doing every time we visited, even if they were not working directly with him. We also received texts and calls to advise on what was happening when dad was ill - the stress was lifted as we knew someone was keeping an eye on him all the time.
A professional home, with lovely, friendly staff that we trusted to look after dad - we are so glad that we chose West Park, and recommend it highly .
Thank you so much for taking the time to give us such positive feedback, it was a pleasure to take care of your dad, and we are glad we could reduce some of your stress.
I feel the homely atmosphere and excellent care has meant that we have been given more quality time with Mum as when she was in hospital she was deteriorating rapidly. Mum will be 92 in June and not in the best of health but still has quality of life due to the warmth comfort and care provided by all the staff in West Park.
Thankyou for taking the time to write a review, we are so glad that you feel welcome when you visit, and we appreciate the trust that you have in us to care for your mum.
I am always made to feel welcome when visiting. Everyone is so friendly.
Any concerns I have had have been dealt with promptly and efficiently.
It is a great comfort to me that my wife is in such good hands.
Thank you very much for taking the time to give us this positive feedback. It is a pleasure to care for your wife and lovely to hear you feel so welcome.
My mum has been in Westpark for over a year now due to mobility problems. I can't rate them high enough. Every staff member is amazing. I'm often on the phone to my mum and the staff all speak to me, including the manager. My brother travels from Aberdeen every Saturday, it's just like one big family.
Thank you very much for taking the time to give us this positive feedback. It is a pleasure to care for your relative and lovely to hear you feel we are one big family at West Park.
My relative receives excellent care. She is now very dependent - I feel that she is in a safe place and is looked after with compassion and skill. The staff all know her very well, they do an amazing job and are all heroes in our eyes.
thank you so much for taking the time to give us such positive feedback, it is a pleasure to take care of your relative.
Majority of staff are kind and helpful.
Management are supportive to residents and their family.
I would recommend Westpark to others for care of family.
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We're so pleased to hear that your mother is now enjoying the activities at Westpark and that you've found our team kind, supportive, and helpful. It means a great deal to us that you would recommend our home to others. We truly appreciate your trust and are grateful to be part of your mother's care.
As a nurse in a nursing home, I was so dedicated to finding the care I was used to giving in my care home.
The whole team were so involved from day one and introduced themselves to Dad, from maintenance making sure his family pictures were in the right place, to cooks and cleaners (apologies, I appreciate that I'm not using the right terminology) care staff and nurses. Dad had difficulty communicating but they all took so much time to speak with him and so quickly involved him in the West Park family.
As his daughters we were given so much support and myself and my sister also felt included in their family.
I will always be truly grateful for everyone who made Dad's transition into the West Park family such a caring loving time for our dad.
My mum has stayed here a few times. It's a lovely family-run business. All staff are brilliant including the maintenance man. The rooms are lovely and clean. Plenty of activities going on. Nothing too much trouble. Well done staff keep up the good work you very much appreciated
During my sisters last few weeks the care she received, and in fact the care we also as family received, was above and beyond anything we could have asked for. It certainly helped us through the trauma of losing our loved one. We can never thank everyone enough for how we were treated.
