Tucked away in a peaceful spot of East Kilbride, Westwood House has a warm, family feel. The team provide nursing, dementia, palliative and respite care and are devoted to enriching the lives of their residents each and every day.
Family and friends are embraced into life in the home and are welcome to visit at any time, giving them a real sense of belonging.
The south-facing gardens are glorious and a real haven for birds. With raised planters they are beautifully landscaped, with a rockery and a large seating area.
There is so much going on at Westwood House, with a wide range of engaging activities on offer, including animal visits, with Shetland ponies always going down a treat. Many of the residents enjoy baking, while others prefer reiki and reflexology sessions. And there are regular visits from a mobile hairdresser.
The team at Westwood House follow the Care about Physical Activity program (CAPA), which is led by the Care Inspectorate, so there are regular gentle exercise sessions to keep residents as active as possible.
There are some lovely areas to relax in, from the conservatory to the welcoming lounges and dining room. Residents enjoy delicious, home-cooked meals every day prepared by the home’s chef. There is everything from stews and roast dinners with all the trimmings, to a firm favourite for so many residents – fish and chip Friday. And there are home-made treats each day for dessert and afternoon tea.
The bedrooms are spacious and well decorated, offering a place for residents to relax and feel at home. Everything is provided, but residents are welcome to bring small items of furniture, ornaments and pictures, to make their bedrooms truly their own.
As well as providing nursing, dementia and palliative care, the home’s respite care breaks are perfect if you are caring for a loved one at home and need a short break yourself.

Since this is a relatively small home, it is more like 'home'. The accommodation is of a good standard although at times the common areas could do with better control of temperature e.g. air conditioning. The staff are friendly and provide excellent quality of care. All in all, my mother has improved over the time she has spent here. I am pleased that my mother is in this home.
Thank you very much for your kind review.

My mother moved into Westward House in march and has settled in extremely well. It is a very homely, caring atmosphere at all times. She enjoys the food and has put on some weight since she went in. The staff are all wonderful, very caring and nothing is too much trouble. There are lots of activities and the lady in charge is so enthusiastic. I am very happy with the care received by my mum in Westwood House.
My husband was in for respite. I would recommend to anyone as he is made to feel welcome and had good care. You felt he was safe and it was very clean.

Thank you for your kind words. Your father was a real character in the home and is sadly missed.

What can I say! The new manager that has taken over is like a breath of fresh air! The home is clean and tidy, my dad is always well looked after and the activities lady always has something on the go. I can't rate the home any higher.

Cat is the Home Manager at Westwood House, with 13 years of experience in health and social care. Her journey into the sector began at the age of 17 when she took her first role in a care facility. Initially working bank shifts while studying at university, she quickly discovered a passion for helping others and knew this was the career path for her.
After applying for a role at Abercorn House in 2018, Cat spent a year there before exploring opportunities outside of care, including working with AG Barr and in healthcare recruitment. However, she soon realised how much she missed the fast-paced, meaningful environment of care and returned to Abercorn House during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was during this time that she developed her leadership skills, which led her to apply for a Deputy Home Manager role at Westwood House in December 2021. She has since progressed into her current role as Home Manager.
Cat has worked with Sanctuary Care on and off for eight years, progressing from a care assistant through to leadership. She values the many opportunities for career development within the organisation and is a strong example of how progression is encouraged and supported. She enjoys the variety and pace of her role and feels privileged to make a positive difference to the lives of residents, supporting them to achieve a good quality of life.
One of Cat’s proudest achievements was, within her first year as Home Manager, leading her team to achieve a Care Inspectorate grade 5, as well as gaining recognition through nominations for both a National Care Award and a Scottish Care Award. She holds a degree in International Business Management with languages and can speak both French and Spanish.
Cat believes strongly that choosing a care home is about the feeling you get when you walk through the door. Her advice to families is to trust their instincts, as that first impression can often say a lot about the environment, the team, and the quality of care provided.

Since moving to the UK as an international nurse, I have had a rewarding experience working at Westwood House, where I am giving residents the support and care they need.
Developing a feeling of community, attending to their medical needs, and forging deep bonds with residents and their families are all part of my role.
My job at Westwood House Care Home is genuinely satisfying because of the gratitude I receive from the people entrusted to my care.
