Mum has been living at Westhill Park since 2020. We are so pleased she enjoys living there. The staff are friendly, kind and genuinely seem to love our mum. What more can we ask for? She is cared for extremely well. Thank you to all the hugely hardworking staff.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We are very happy that mum enjoys living here, we love having her around. I shall pass your comments on to my team.

As my dear friend needed full-time/24-hour care - I carefully selected this home for him. He was recently widowed and having Alzheimer’s could no longer live at home without his wife caring for him. This home and all the staff cater for all of my friend's needs fully, often going above and beyond. The
home is beautiful, clean and organised. There are choices of appropriate activities to keep all busy every day. The food and dining areas are hotel-standard. The main thing for us is the caring, friendly, helpful staff - from management right through to domestics.

The staff are always so friendly and willing to help and you can visit anytime to suit yourself. The food menus are varied and the food is always very well presented. Mum doesn’t eat a lot but always remarks on how good the food is. My Mum loves it here and thinks it’s the “Best Hotel” in Kettering.
What she really enjoys is the time that all the residents spend together and then she can go back to her own comfy room when she’s ready.

I can’t thank the staff enough for their care and 24/7 support for my mother. Management is friendly and supportive of our needs. The staff are exceptional. From clean rooms, clean clothing, haircuts, and entertainment. The only small improvement area I would suggest, I know my mother would like less
soft food, as she likes to chew on meat on the bone occasionally. Overall excellent management and staff. Thank you for your service!

My parents have been at Westhill Park since June 2020, and although they both had difficulties adapting, I do think they are happy and very well looked after. The staff are always friendly and they greet my parents warmly and with affection, which puts my mind at rest.
I can visit whenever I please
and take my parents out. The wide range of activities on offer is great and I do encourage them both to take part. They have their own things around them, which helps and there are lots of spaces in the home for them to go and relax if they wish.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Westhill Park.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been with Westhill Park for 12 months now. It took her a couple of months to settle but after that, she sees the staff members as family.
The majority of staff go above and beyond their duties. Mum is always clean and tidy in appearance. Her meals are 3 times daily but I know she doesn't
particularly like the food - but I understand that after she was previously used to getting her own meals.
For any medical issues, we are kept fully informed.
The home does sometimes feel low on staff, which puts pressure on those who already work hard, but again understand this is usual in this business.
We are always greeted and made to feel welcome as soon as we walk in the front door. If Mum is happy then I am.

We were very pleased with the care given to Mum at Westhill Park. We initially came in on a respite contract for 3/4 weeks and Mum has stayed for a year. I always intended to bring Mum back to stay with me but she seemed so settled. The staff were brilliant and went above and beyond when she had a fall.
We are taking Mum home for a holiday to see how things go but will/can certainly recommend Westhill Park Care Home.

My mum has been at Westhill Park for over 2 years and sees it as her home. When she was admitted to hospital last week she was desperate to get back to the home as she said she just wanted all the caring familiar faces around her. Thank you to the management and staff for making her wish come true!
Such loving and caring staff make it such a homely environment.

Dad was in the care home for just a few weeks. The staff that cared for my father-in-law were great. Helpful and kind. After his death, no one has been in contact with us. The day we emptied his room the senior staff didn't try to speak to us. When we left they had all left the front entrance and we
had to look for someone to let us out. We found this very disappointing.

Fantastic party for the coronation. Absolutely nothing forgotten. The food selection was sensational and the home was decorated to the maximum. The team had obviously worked really hard to make the day special for the residents and their guests.
This home has always had a lovely warm atmosphere with

I attended the coronation celebrations and thought it was a wonderful, well-planned event with lovely food, entertainment and props. The staff were as always pleasant and actively involved.
I visit my auntie regularly and I'm very impressed with the home, staff and facilities. It's very clear no expense
is spared with it comes down to entertainment, activities and facilities and members of staff too. there always seems to be plenty of staff. I wish all care homes were like this, not just the ones that most people could not afford.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.885)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.885) out of 10 for Westhill Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.885 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.

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: 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.
