On the other hand, the group's finance department leaves a lot to be desired.
Previously they had taken off two months' fees from my mother's account in error and it took weeks of emails and calls to be reimbursed.
After the recent passing of my mother, they took over three months of ignored emails and what appeared to me to be delaying tactics to return funds owed to my mother's estate at a stressful time for all the family trying to gain some closure.
A total lack of care and empathy which is ironic regarding the name of the parent company.
Good Morning, I am saddened to hear that the mix-up of the finance has deflected on the wonderful care experience your mum received. I am glad that we were able to resolve this and our finance team apologise profusely. I would be happy to discuss this as our company ensure at all times we deliver the best quality in each of our departments.

The disappointment in this home lies in the fabric of the establishment. It is insufficient to blame the pandemic for the lack of refurbishment and investment. When initially shown around, the unpleasant smell in some areas was unacceptable.
Good afternoon, I am sorry to hear you have experienced an unpleasant visit as this is not the standard we promote. The care home has undergone a major refurbishment and would invite you to come in and see the positive changes that have been made. All our staff deliver dignified care in every unit and I will pass your kind words on to Bute unit.
Lots of renovations have taken place and I have enjoyed all this. I have made lots of new friends and since I retired I failed to do this.

Thank you much for your kind words, I will share this with the team on your unit. It is so pleasing to hear that you are enjoying living here.
At last a manager that really cares and has invested time in the care that is now being provided. The standards have increased, environment is beautifully decorated and now it's a place I would definitely recommend. Well done and thank you.

I cannot fault Westerton Care Home in any way. The care and kindness of all staff is exemplary, to know Mum was being looked after and cared for so well was a great comfort to me. The facilities are clean, the bedrooms are light and spacious and there is always so much activity going on.

Thank you for your kind words, we are delighted you have chosen us to care for you.
The facilities at Westerton Care Home are good and the setting is nice but what makes the care home perfect for my mum and our family is the staff who we have found to be caring, engaging and compassionate. On that basis, we are very happy with the choice we made.

This care home is beautiful. The staff are all very pleasant and help keep their residents' spirits up. My dad loves the food, his room and the group gatherings. They had an accordion player in on Friday, he was up dancing. My dad is a changed man since he went in there, can’t thank the staff...

They had an accordion player in on Friday, he was up dancing. My dad is a changed man since he went in there, can’t thank the staff enough.
Thank you for your kind words and feedback. I am delighted to hear you happy with the care home. We will provide this feedback to the team.
The staff are always pleasant and helpful. Mum is treated with patience and respect.

I am a friend of a lady admitted to the home who doesn't have any family. I live abroad. The policies of the home are erratic and some of their staff are not seeing the importance of providing human contact for such cases. I used to call our friend and normally someone would bring her a phone. Today I was told there is a single handset and it can't be taken to her. It is mind-boggling why different policies are followed by different staff members but also how such an expensive facility would not have enough phones. Their website assures all rooms have phones. I explained I wanted to say goodbye because I travel 6 am next morning but this fell on deaf ears. Very disappointed especially because covid and isolation had a massive negative impact on the cognitive abilities and mental health of many elderly people who stay in care homes. One expects more consideration for supporting human contact than nurse was willing to grant.

I apologise that you were unable to speak with your friend on this occasion, we have invested in increasing the phone lines so that we can support calls and we have also invested in iPads for all units to facilitate video calls.

Not got much to say, I'm so glad I got my mum into Westerton Care Home. I couldn't ask for better care than my mum gets. Staff are so caring. Thanks so much, Westerton.

Westerton Care Home is bright and welcoming with friendly staff. After moving around various locations, Mum settled well and quickly felt comfortable in her new surroundings. The facilities have been more limited due to Covid but Mum has enjoyed the pampering sessions in her room, having her hair done and watching movies and concerts on the big screen. She has also enjoyed taking part in the communal activities both indoors and outdoors. Staff have been so friendly and attentive and happy to chat and help with adjustments such as pictures and shelves. Admin staff are also very helpful. The food always looks and smells delicious and we intend to take up the offer of having a lunch date in the care home with Mum soon. Her room is kept very clean and tidy with bedding changed regularly and it always looks fresh. Mum interacts well with staff and is comfortable with the other residents, she loves the view from the day room and has become more responsive since we started to visit more frequently.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I cannot wait to share this lovely review with all the team.

My sister arrived at Westerton in very poor health rendering her fully dependent 24/7. During her stay, I witnessed a hugely caring commitment delivered with sincere compassion and timeless patience. The Iona floor was always operating in a calm and confident manner which gave me great confidence and comfort that Westerton was the place for my sister.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. I am so glad that you found comfort in the care that we provide.
I'm presently in a very large section with most residents very demented and physically disabled. I'm hoping to move to a smaller section where the residents are more alert and able to have a proper conversation in a few days.

Mum has been living at Westerton for nearly two years now and her care has been very good. We are kept informed of any changes to her physical and mental wellbeing and the staff dealing with Mum are professional and friendly, always looking out for her and attending to her needs.

As a family, we cannot praise or thank Westerton and all the lovely staff there enough. I hope they read the reviews too and not just families looking to place their loved ones somewhere safe and special. We've certainly found somewhere amazing for mum, she tells the staff she loves them and she means it. She is happier than we've seen her in years and spends her days laughing, dancing, drinking tea, eating cakes, going to the cafe, the theatre and the cinema - all in-house at Westerton. I'm sure the staff there sometimes forget what an amazing job they do and the difference they all make. It's great to visit and meet them and hear them all laughing and joking, making a visit special. Westerton have given Mum a whole new lease of life and shake up perceptions of what a care home can be. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it - my sister has worked in the care sector all her life (mum did too) and it's a really top class place to live and dance the slosh at 8.30am (if you want).
Thank you so much for your kind review. I am very proud to say that sharing your review with the team today brought lots of smiles (and tears). On behalf of all the staff at Westerton Thank you very much for all your kind words. Kindest regards, Michelle Green, Home Manager.
