Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I must leave a review for the excellent care provided for my mum. I had to book her in for 10 days' respite due to me having an operation. The management was brilliant and showed us around all the facilities the week before we arrived.. The day I brought mum, we were welcomed with open arms, and all
the staff were brilliant. The care she has had has been phenomenal. Mum loved having her hair done, having a pamper session, doing a manicure, but also having a fantastic long luxury soak in the amazing bath they have. She absolutely loved it.
But all in all, it has been a wonderful experience for her and opened up her eyes about a potential move into the home permanently at some point in the future, later in 25/26. Going back to the staff, though, they were great and I couldn't praise them enough. nothing was too much trouble. The only drawback I would say is apparently the prices could change soon which would be a bad thing. Do not change it please!

We attended the Country and Western Fate on Saturday afternoon. My husband and granddaughter and myself arrived at 1-30 intending to stay an hour. Well, what a fabulous 3 hours we enjoyed. My granddaughter loved the pony and donkey, I was happy to see my mother ( a resident) having fun in the sunshine
listening to the Band playing music she remembers. Making memories, which is important. So a G & T for me and a small Bailey for her watching her friends from the Home having a dance and singing. The Manager has a fantastic team to help her, many coming in on their day off to help the residents enjoy everything. Fab BBQ and the kitchen crew. 100° given from the staff and 100% appreciated from me and my family. Fabulous Care Home. Best decision I ever made for my mother.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our dad has lived at Westhill for nearly 5 years; our mum was also a resident until she passed away 3 years ago. The care throughout has been exceptional and since they moved in, we've always had regular updates about our parents' health and care. Staff treat residents with genuine compassion, respect,
and warmth. When they moved in (during lockdown) they helped get Dad a Parkinson's diagnosis and on the right medication, and they supported Mum through dementia with skill and sensitivity, which made a difficult time more manageable. Now Dad is in end-of-life care, and they continue to do everything they can to keep him safe and comfortable. The management are proactive, kind, and always make sure he gets what he truly needs - not just what the guidelines say. Every member of staff shows the same outstanding commitment - knowing each resident by name, respecting their independence, and providing thoughtful, personal care that protects their dignity and safety.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Westhill Park care for my mum's specific needs very well and some go out of their way to ensure she has the correct diet and treatment. Where, on the rare occasion, I have had concerns, staff and senior staff have followed these up quickly and effectively, communicating well with me.
It
seems there is an excellent core team of full time carers.
There are some ongoing issues I would like to see changed for the better. The ANPR parking enforcement is far too rigid. There have been a number of incidents where visitors for my mum have been wrongly fined and they could see no other option than to pay. One of these visitors has a very frail wife and had his hands full caring for her during the visit so inputting his registration onto the system was not done correctly. Due to this fine, he no longer visits mum, his sister, due to the stress and inconvenience caused by the parking enforcement. Entry for visitors can be a problem if no staff are near the front door, causing a wait
Reply from Sharmaine Hall, Manager at Westhill Park

Thank you for taking the time to review Westhill Park and we are pleased that you rate our staff as excellent. It's lovely to read your kind feedback regarding our team. Our ANPR parking is managed by a third party and we are working closely to resolve issues with this as soon as possible. The safety of our residents and colleagues is our priority, so our main door remains secure and requires a colleague to open this for visitors. At busier times and when our team are providing personal care, this may take a little more time. I'm happy to discuss all aspects of our care at a mutually convenient time.

I continue to be impressed with the levels of care provided at Westhill Park. My elderly mother has advanced dementia and therefore requires much assistance with her routine. This care is provided with professionalism, warmth and generosity of spirit. From my perspective, I am able to feel totally
confident that my mother is cared for at all times of the day. Furthermore, should there be a need for any communication between Westhill Park and me, then I am always kept fully informed and in a timely manner. I also value the online relatives' gateway facility which provides detailed and up-to-date notes about my mother and this means that I can seek information remotely and at all times.

The home put on a Breakfast With Bluey experience in the cinema room for resident's families. I attended with my grandchildren and my daughter and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The food was plentiful and delicious and catered for all tastes. Also the character costumes were great and they really
entertained all the children. The home always makes us and the children feel welcome anytime of the day.

My mum has been a resident at the home for a few months now and I couldn't be happier with the level of care she receives and the weekly haircut/blow dry is a bonus!. A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders now that she lives here and she and I both adore all of the staff who are always so happy
and helpful. Finally, I love keeping up with what she's up to on the Facebook page which is updated everyday.

One of my closest friends has recently been admitted to the home. I have joined the care home's social media page. I have been amazed and delighted to see the varied and interesting activities provided for the residents. I have visited people in other homes and never have I seen so many topics covered.
This leads to the residents looking happy and stimulated. It is a joy to visit her. Well done to the staff who all seem to clearly love their jobs.

I enrolled my aunt at Westhill Park in 2020, she receives the most excellent care. She loves the room she is in and calls it her home, the staff are most caring and I get reports regularly on how my aunt's health is or, if there are any concerns. The facilities are second to none she has her hair and
nails done fortnightly, which she loves because she is most particular about her appearance, daily laundry, and her meals served either in the dining room or her own room.
When she is in her room for any length of time the careers pop in to see if she needs anything or even a cup of tea.
She loves the activities, she has taken up knitting again, they even bought her a carpet golf set to play to remind her of the days she was a golfer.
Regarding care, you could not wish for better careers they all go that extra mile and nothing is too much trouble for them.
The management staff under the manager provide excellent service keeping the home running as 'a tight ship'.

I just wanted to let you know how highly my family rates Westhill Park Care Home.
My parents both moved in about 3 years ago, my mother has since died, and my father is now coming to the end of his life. I live south of Cambridge and about 5 months ago we moved Dad from Kettering to a care home very
close to me so it would be much easier for me to see him. He's since moved back to Westhill Park - there was nothing wrong with the care home near here, but it was a world away from Westhill. As Dad says, he feels like he's part of a family at Westhill, rather than just a patient, and the love he has received at Westhill from the carers and other staff has been amazing. Dad was so pleased to move back into Westhill - on the day he moved back in, he joked about being covered in bruises because he'd had so many hugs from the staff welcoming him back! Both he and the family are extremely grateful for the care he is receiving, and for the warmth he receives from everyone.
Many thanks.

As a family, we have been so grateful for the care Mum has received at Westhill. It has been such a relief for us to know her medical needs are cared for as well as general wellbeing and everyday needs. The daily activities are so important to keep residents stimulated and at Westhill, it can range
from crafts, live music to animal visits. The staff are amazing and become like friends to the residents. Mum unfortunately finds it hard now to socialise with the other residents but the staff always give her the option to join in activities and it's so good when we see that they have persuaded her to get out of her room and enjoy music, and the odd crafts for example. As a family, we are so happy to have found Westhill Care Home.

A great home with fantastic, professional and caring staff. Mum is very happy and feels safe knowing that there is always someone close by to help. Although she suffers with some memory issues the staff will always pop in a remind her what's going on each day as she loves all the activities and enjoys
joining in. She says that 'while getting old isn't ideal, obviously I'm still living my best life!'
The manager and senior staff are knowledgeable, friendly, committed and helpful, and the carers are really dedicated to the resident's comfort and wellbeing. As a family, we're always welcomed and feel part of the team. Would recommend it without hesitation.

My aunt has been a resident at Westhill Park since January 2019. She has multiple medical needs and these have changed and deteriorated over the years. Westhill have always managed to accommodate these changing needs and seems to take it in their stride as they go. Staff are friendly and approachable
and my Aunt is always clean and her room spotless. There seem to be lots of activities which residents can choose to attend or not. I worry sometimes that my aunt can be 'forgotten' as she is mostly in her room with only TV as company but on visits she seems happy in herself. The home itself is kept in good order, very clean and has a nice small wrap-around garden.

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 4.885 for Westhill Park is calculated as follows: ( (343 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 381 Ratings = 4.885
  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 Westhill Park is based on 32 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 32 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.

Sharmaine Hall

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2021

In December 2009, I started a job as a support worker in a care home with no idea whether I would suit the role, I then became a senior support worker, then a team leader, a deputy manager, a project manager and then home manager, I think it's fair to say that I suited the role.


Sadly, there is a perception of care that is quite dated and conjures up images of dingy lounges and rice pudding. From day one I wanted to prove that good care homes can be fabulous places to live, that they were not institutions but homes with beautiful facilities and opportunities to really live, not just exist.


When I am making decisions about hiring, menus, activities, decor, I always imagine my family and think about what I would want for them. The people we care for are individuals with rich histories and I want them to remain so, nobody has to fit in here. We provide a service to meet individual needs and that is as it should be.


My favourite part of the job is working with my team; knowing that we are making a difference, I like to lead by example. I work hard to ensure that we are providing a high standard of care and that the home is a happy place.


Every day I work with families and other professionals to ensure our residents get the best service. I am caring and passionate about what I do.


Westhill Park is a fantastic home with hardworking and caring staff. The residents that live with us are amazing and have such individual characters and amazing stories to share. The staff take pleasure in getting to know them and their families, listening to their life histories enables them to form a bond and gain their trust.
One day I'd like to be a director of care, I won't be satisfied until I know that I have provided 5 star care to as many people as possible.


Working in social care is not a job, it's a vocation and I feel truly blessed to have found mine.

Job Title: Head Chef Joined: 2023

I am the head chef at Westhill. I joined the team at Westhill a year ago as a Kitchen Assistant and progressed to head chef after coming from a catering background for over 25 years. I have nearly always worked in care homes and love my job. The environment at Westhill is a lovely place to be. It’s home from home and my colleagues are great to work with. We all have the residents at heart and my role allows me to provide good, wholesome nutritious meals and also indulge them in a range of sweet treats and cakes which I really enjoy making for them.


Everything I cook or bake has a spoonful of love added to it!

Job Title: Housekeeping Manager Joined: 2021

Hi, my name is Stephen and I am the Housekeeping Manager here at Westhill Park.


Firstly, I'm going to tell you about myself. I was born and raised in Stoke on Trent, I have lived up North and down South and I am currently living in Kettering. As soon as I left school I went straight into employment I have had various job roles but I found that I am best suited in the hospitality industry. I worked to achieve my NVQ Level 2 in hospitality during my working career.


I was employed as a Housekeeper once I started at Westhill Park but soon progressed into my role as Housekeeping Manager soon after.


The best part of my job is managing my team, working alongside the management to care for the residents who live here at Westhill Park.
