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.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home, whilst we are glad to hear that you were happy with the care received by your father-in-law, we are saddened to hear that you were not afforded the support that we pride ourselves on. I can assure you that this was an oversight, and lessons have been learned and shared with the team. Please accept our apology, we will be in touch to discuss this.
Nothing is ever too much trouble.
I visit my friend often and I am made to feel that this is my second home.
Wish I had found this home sooner.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We are very proud of our home and it is lovely to receive such positive feedback.
The staff and management are the best! This home was actually recommended to me by paramedics and I could not be more grateful to them. I have peace of mind knowing my precious Dad is in the best place. Thank you Westhill Park.

This home has always had a lovely warm atmosphere with warm friendly staff and no matter what they do, their main priority is the care of the residents.
Thank you.
Thank you for your review, we really value your kind words. We are so glad you loved our Coronation event.
Attended on 06/05/2023 to enjoy the coronation celebrations with my aunt. Had a wonderful afternoon and it was a pleasure to see her having such a good time. Full marks for all the effort taken by all the staff to bring about such an enjoyable time.

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.
Thank you for your review, we are so glad you enjoyed the coronation event. I will give the staff your kind feedback.

I’m so pleased with Westhill Park and all the staff. As my mother has deteriorated the care given has been excellent. Every effort is being made to make her life as normal as possible and include her in the activities that she is able to do. Most of the staff go that extra mile and it makes such a difference. I have spent many hours in Westhill visiting and the staff have been very accommodating to me too. Food has improved, and the activities and entertainment cannot be faulted. All in all this last few months I have been more than happy seeing my mother being taken care of so well. Well done to all staff!
Thank you, we really appreciate you taking the time to write this review. I look forward to telling the staff your kind words.
Westhill is a care home where staff show genuine care and respect to both residents and their families. They also know how to throw great celebration parties. Looking forward to seeing what the home can achieve in the future. Keep up the good work!

The home is very light and airy, and is very well maintained. Cleanliness and surroundings are taken very seriously.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We truly appreciate your kind words.
My uncle and aunty are both at Westhill Park. The care staff are very helpful, and nothing is too much trouble. There are activities every day and lots of interaction. The rooms are clean and tidy.

Thank you so much for this review. Our team works extremely hard to make sure our residents are settled and happy. I will pass on your kind words to our team.
Overall I am very pleased with the care that my mother receives from the home. The staff are very caring and approachable when I visit. We are kept informed of any issues and I feel that my mother is made to feel safe and comfortable at all times.

When we were looking for a home for my mother one of her neighbours had been looking for a place for her mother in the same area. Her top choice was Westhill Park. We visited and understood why: modern, clean and well laid out. Large rooms with en-suite bathrooms. The ability to decorate to one's taste. Good food. And the staff really cares. This latter point was proven to me time after time over the last year. If you want the best for your loved one, don't hesitate. Communication is always top notch and questions about the care and all matters pertaining to your loved one is a phone call away.
Thank you so much for such a glowing review of Westhill Park. The team really do go over and above and I know that your feedback will mean a lot to them.
Westhill is such a lovely place. Mum has lived there for over three years and the care and support she has received the whole time has been incredible. The facilities are excellent and the staff are so kind to us all. Thank you Westhill

The experience we had at Westhill Park is not how we would have wished my grandmother's final few years to be. She initially settled well while her needs were that of basic dementia care, however unfortunately once her condition deteriorated it felt like a constant battle to ensure that her needs were met. There was a lack of inclusivity for someone of her physical and cognitive needs and as a family, we had to fight hard for her to have things that were imperative to her comfort and safety. Communication was poor throughout her time as a resident and this largely impacted on all other areas of her care and ultimately led to the end of her life not being an experience we would want anyone else to have to go through.
My Mums care at Westhill was like a roller coaster ride starting with some fairly good care in Sept 2019 but after many changes in management and staff, it spiralled downhill from then on.

My Mums care at Westhill was like a roller coaster ride starting with some fairly good care in Sept 2019 but after many changes in management and staff, it spiralled downhill from then on. This home is fine for residents with moderate care needs but advanced dementia residents are not well catered for or included in indoor activities and outdoor outings. My Mum lost many of her personal belongings, glasses, jewellery etc. even aids such as pressure cushions that were provided solely for her use and were labelled all went missing. We had to continually ask for things recommended by outside agencies to be put into place and there was always an excuse as to why it could not happen. The final part of Mum's journey was horrible and I hope that no other resident has to end their life in the same way.

It is incredibly upsetting to read this review regarding your experience of our home and your expectations.We truly do love and care for every resident that lives in our home. We do our very best to provide personalised care for all our residents, working with the community healthcare professionals to ensure that our residents receive the services and support that they are eligible for.
We can only apologise that despite all the time spent with you since 2019, you are still disappointed by the service.
We take all feedback with the utmost seriousness and will continue to assess the details you have included in your review. Our hearts go out to you and your family at this difficult time. We as a team are mourning with you and whilst we will never truly be family, we still feel that sense of loss. We wish you and your family well and please do let us know if we can do anything to support you at this time.
I’ve given these 5 stars because it’s a really nice place. The staff make you welcome every time. They look after my grandad really well every time I go to see him all he does is talk about how happy he is in this place. The staff should give themselves a round of applause because they work 24/7.

July 2022 was a demanding month, with its challenging climate conditions. One I am pleased to say the home rose to. Plenty of cold drinks and curtains, where necessary, closed. We found it necessary to purchase an individual room fan to keep the room temperature comfortable. We still find the laundry arrangements chaotic and at times, illogical. Some items still vanish for days, turning up unexpectedly, other items vanish, never to reappear. Most days it operates fairly smoothly and is acceptable. Food and drink are of a high standard and appear to be plenty of alternatives and enjoyed by the residents. The activities and entertainment programme seems varied and imaginative.
Thank you for your kind words, this summer has had its challenges and we appreciate your positive feedback regarding our handling of them. With regards to your issues with the laundry, I appreciate your bringing it to my attention. I will be in touch privately to discuss this with you and to ensure that the matter is resolved to your satisfaction.
My friend is very happy at Westhill Park. She is far less anxious than when she went into care as was not coping at home. Now back to normal visiting is possible, I’ve found staff are always very welcoming and helpful. The care during the hot weather has been fantastic and emails from management...
My friend is very happy at Westhill Park. She is far less anxious than when she went into care as was not coping at home. Now back to normal visiting is possible, I’ve found staff are always very welcoming and helpful. The care during the hot weather has been fantastic and emails from management have been very reassuring regarding what accommodations have been made to keep everyone safe and well during this hot weather. There is still a way to go with getting a regular monthly update from her key worker. Otherwise, communication is a strength.
Thank you so much for your valuable feedback. I am delighted to hear that you are happy with the service provided and the communication received. I will, of course, look into the key worker communication and ensure that this is increased.

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.

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.

I came to Westhill Park two years ago as a Kitchen Assistant. During the first 6 months, I was promoted to Deputy Chef where I assisted the Head Chef in the daily running of the kitchen and trained the Kitchen Assistants in maintaining high standards of the kitchen and producing hearty, homely food for our loved ones.
Every now and then, I also cover care, which gives me a great opportunity to interact with our residents. I have familiarised myself with residents' likes and dislikes of food, which has led to a better understanding of how to support their nutritional needs.
In my two years at Westhill Park, I've maintained the 5-star rating with E.H.O. and have entered competitions, which have been an amazing experience for me. Earlier this year, I entered Anchor's internal Chef of the Year competition, where I was in the semi-finals. The judges' feedback was positive, and they were impressed with the food I had produced. I was invited to the final of the Chef of the Year and was proud to assist the other Chefs and experience the event, which was wonderful. I'll enter again this year for sure. I'm also very proud to be a finalist in the regional Great British Care Awards in the Care Home Cook/ Chef award.
I wouldn't be where I am today without the amazing support of my team and the managers at Westhill Park.

Hi, my name is Connor, and I am 26 years old
I was born in Haywards Heath. I decided to move up to Kettering spontaneously, and the first job I got was working as a housekeeper/ Kitchen assistant. Since then, I progressed into care, and I’ve taken a new role at Westhill Park as the Care Home’s Handy Person.
My role is to make sure the home remains a safe haven for our residents and staff, and for the home to feel as welcoming as possible. What I enjoy the most is being hands-on and actively present in the day-to-day running of the home. I enjoy helping the residents by repairing items, sorting furniture and painting to make it homely. I want to make sure that everyone is living in a person-centred environment that is as much of a home-from-home as possible.

I have experience within healthcare for over 20 years and have enjoyed most roles, including registered manager. I have a good understanding of good care principles and the ability to show empathy and warmth.
I enjoy knitting in my own time and have featured in local papers due to this hobby. I also enjoy spending time with my grandchildren.
