I am happy to report that my father’s 4-week respite ‘holiday’ at Westhill Park Care Home has exceeded all our expectations. Our family has no previous first-hand experience of care homes and we were very apprehensive about how Dad, who has Alzheimer’s, would manage. The home is brand new and the...
If Dad needs further respite care or a permanent place, we would be confident that he will be safe and well cared for at Westhill Park.
Thank you for reviewing our home and we are delighted that you and your father are so happy with our home. Any feedback is incredibly useful to us as it helps us understand where we are getting things right and where we might look to improve. We wish you and your family well with having your...

My husband was admitted on the second day the home opened and was made very welcome. The staff are kind and thoughtful to both of us. The meals are good and plentiful, the rooms are comfortable.

It looks like I've answered all questions the same for convenience but that is for the truth. The welcome we all get when we first came to look round the home and the detail to the care my mother in law needs were second to none. The home is beautiful and the staff are both very professional and extremely friendly. Just what she needs. She will benefit greatly from her new surroundings and I would be very happy for anyone I know to stay at Westhill Park. I would be cynical and say its bound to be good as it is new, but I believe it will remain the same for years to come. Thank you for all your care and consideration.

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.
