Very satisfied. Most carers were good, but especially one certain carer who deserves a compliment. I found it a long time between supper and the next morning and I found it a bit lonely. Suggested a quiz about 19.00 or some entertainment as most go to bed early. Would consider returning to West...

In 2016 West hall was given an "outstanding" rating by the CQC and it was particularly for this reason that we chose West Hall for our mother. However, it has taken a good couple of years to settle - there has been a lot of shifting in management and staff since then and now I can say that it is truly deserving of that rating; there is now a unity that there hasn't before. Communication channels were always an issue - now they are not. It is a brilliant place and Mum is very happy there.
Lovely staff, very kind. Mum gaining weight and adjusting to her new life in a beautiful surrounding. She loves the grounds to walk in. Her room is beautiful and furnished to a very high standard. Most of all the staff are very caring which is critical to us as a family. Thank you.

Aunt came 2 1/2 years ago in not a good state of wellbeing. She has settled in West Hall and in herself, she has gained weight (very underweight on arrival) and has enjoyed her time there.

I feel my mum is in a safe place and well looked after. The staff are caring, patient, friendly and always available to talk. The introduction of a monthly meeting with my mother's team leader is a good idea. Encouragement to join in activities has improved greatly. The food is varied and good.

I visited several care homes before selecting West Hall. I have been very impressed by the facilities which are modern, clean and spacious, compared to some homes I have seen. The staff have been very considerate, patient and caring. They also treat residents with dignity and respect and treat residents personally. Food is excellent and of a good choice. Looking forward to the summer when the spacious grounds will be attractive.
Most impressed with the standard of care and att5ention to detail. Will provide a photo album of my aunt's travels and be involved in encouraging walks in the grounds when the weather improves.

The staff in Birch Lodge at West Hall are all excellent. My mother has advanced Alzheimer's, but they treat my mum with great dignity and kindness and are very supportive of our family when we visit. The Lodge manager and team leaders are happy to discuss care plans with us and encourage our input...
The home is not perfect, nothing in life is perfect, but any small glitches or queries we have are dealt with quickly and with a genuine desire to improve the service.
I've visited many homes prior to placing Mum here and I am very pleased that she has now settled well and is indeed thriving under their care. It is so encouraging when we visit to see Mum smile and wave at all the carers, the resident to carer ratio is very good. I would recommend West Hall.

I’m writing to introduce myself as the new General Manager of West Hall. I have had the privilege of working in the care sector for the past 35 years, and during this time, I have grown both professionally and personally. My journey started as a Carer, and through dedication and passion, I advanced to Senior Carer, Head of Care, Deputy Manager, and Acting Manager, before ultimately becoming a Registered Manager. For the past 26 years, I have been a Registered Manager with various care companies, where I have had the opportunity to achieve outstanding results, including two excellent outcomes and a "Good" rating with an Outstanding "Well Led" outcome in my previous care home.
Throughout my career, I’ve embraced every opportunity to enhance my skills and qualifications, ensuring that I meet the evolving standards and regulations required for this role. I joined Anchor in January 2023 as the Registered Care Home Manager for Moore Place, where I was thrilled to lead the team to achieve the top score of 10 on independent website carehome.co.uk. Our hard work paid off when Moore Place was ranked among the Top 20 Care Homes in the South East in 2024.
I am excited to take on the role of General Manager for West Hall. I am looking forward to working with the dedicated team here, getting to know the residents and their families, and leading West Hall to new heights. My vision is to work collaboratively with everyone, ensuring that we provide the highest standard of care and continue to thrive as a home.

It is my privilege to introduce myself as your new Deputy General Manager of West Hall. I have been working in the care sector for the past 10 years with my journey starting in my hometown of Swindon, where I worked in domiciliary care while maintaining the CQC Outstanding rating.
The wealth of experience and knowledge gained led me to continue with my passion to work within this sector. I moved to Surrey in 2019 and gained a position within Anchor as Team Leader at Moore Place. Throughout this time, I have seen many changes, working with a talented, and passionate team which we ensured Moore Place was recognised as a CQC “Good” rated care home in 2022 and Top 20 Care Home for the South East in 2024. For the past 12 months I have been in an Acting Deputy Manager role, successfully overseeing operational changes and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
This new chapter in my career at West Hall is an exciting opportunity, not only to work alongside such an outstanding team but also establishing a good rapport with residents and families alike.
I look forward to meeting you all and to continue the success of West Hall.

I joined West Hall as the Wellbeing Manager in April 2025, and I’m thrilled to be part of such an incredible team. I graduated with a Drama degree in 2014 and began my career in care in February 2018. Since then, I’ve worked with a few different care providers, gaining valuable experience along the way. I truly believe I have the best job and have never looked back.
In addition to my experience, I commission the activities department for a new build care home, building close relationships with residents and their families, and ensuring the activity programme was designed to best support residents’ wellbeing and engagement.
During my time in care, I’ve been able to apply my creative skills to develop engaging and inclusive activity programmes. I’ve planned and organised a wide range of events and activities, including summer parties, Bonfire Night celebrations, archery sessions, Cognitive Stimulation Therapy sessions for residents living with dementia, and a unique ‘12 Weeks Around the World’ programme where residents virtually explore different countries through their culture, food, music, and traditions.
I’m passionate about delivering one-to-one activities and engagement to ensure we meet every resident’s needs, especially creating programmes tailored for those living with dementia. The most rewarding part of my role is building personal connections with residents and their families, which allows me to tailor activities that reflect the interests and preferences of everyone living in the home.

I am the Services Manager at Anchor West Hall and have been in this role since the beginning of January 2024, overseeing several departments which include catering, housekeeping, maintenance and activities. Supporting my colleagues and interacting with the residents here are the highlights of my day, and I couldn’t ask for a more picturesque location to work in; the manor house and grounds of West Hall are truly exquisite.
Overseeing the Hospitality and services of the home gives me the opportunity to work collaboratively with each head of department, ensuring that West Hall does not just meet the needs of the residents, but exceeds them every day by providing the level of care and service that our CQC rating of ‘Outstanding’ truly deserves.

With over 19 years of dedicated service at Anchor, I am proud to have been part of a passionate team that has achieved consecutive CQC Outstanding ratings. My career has been rooted in a strong commitment to excellence, integrity, and a genuine passion for improving the lives of others.

I strive to nurture a positive culture where colleagues feel valued, empowered, and inspired to deliver exceptional care every day.
With a background in Biomedical Science and formal leadership training, I bring a thoughtful and analytical approach to management. I pride myself on being reliable, ambitious, and deeply motivated by the impact we can have on people's lives, making every day matter for those we care for.
