Mum has recently become a resident of West Farm. I have found the staff both caring and informative. The home is spotlessly clean and and I am confident mum is being very well looked after. Whenever I have telephoned, someone immediately answers the phone and helps with my question or request. It
is reassuring to be able to get in touch whenever i need to.

West Farm looks after my mother-in-law with a huge amount of dignity and care. She is totally "at home" there and knows the staff as if they are her family. She loves the food and has a lovely personalised room. I've been impressed by the number of celebrations, charity events, activities there are
for both residents and family members.

We have alway been greeted with smiles and the service Dad gets is very good.
And the medical care is excellent and when he is under the weather we always get a telephone call.
The only thing that concerns us is the laundry we have names on all, but thing that do not belong to him gets put in the
wardrobe.

Westfarm were very welcoming kind,& respectful to our Mam and to her family. Our Mam has been part of the Westfarm family community for 10 months now.,. The home is kept very clean and tidy the reception area is very bright and cheery with flowers & cheerful decor. Every where is kept wonderfully clean,
and there are never any unwelcome odours.
Our Mams room is comfy cosy and feels like her own space whilst knowing she has access to staff at the touch of her button.
There is a wonderful activities co ordinator who tries to ensure the residents have interesting and fulfilled day, whilst allowing for rest and relaxation should it be preferred.
There is entertainment regularly, music art & a wonderful outside garden which is a great place to sit with a cuppa and chill in the sun.
All the staff are very hardworking, they welcome and try to include families where possible. We as a family feel our Mam is safe and properly cared for and respected at West farm Residential centre.

Choosing a care home is emotional and sensitive and is a huge decision for all concerned. We looked at a lot before we found West Farm but the day we found it we knew it would be perfect for mum. We have never once regretted our decision. The care home is clean and caring. Everything from the catering
to the laundry is well run. Mum loves her bed, her room and the food. The focus on dementia means that staff are knowledgeable, patient and caring. Having a dedicated nurse means that all medical issues are dealt with promptly. The entertainment is outstanding and we love the family feel and how we are always welcome.

Can't praise the staff enough!
They are genuinely friendly, professional and caring.
The place is kept spotlessly clean and no unpleasant odours.
The residents appear to be content and happy and the food /menu is well received.
When you have an enquiry about anything, they go above and beyond to
help and communication is excellent.

Review from Richard H (Husband of Resident) published on 27 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I am very pleased that my wife is being well looked after in West Farm. Because of her falls when she tries to stand/move around - caused by her long-term Parkinson's Disease - 24 years - it is difficult to care for her as she can't be left on her own - as I know only too well. Like all care homes West
Farm sometimes suffers from staff shortages, for all of the well-known reasons - but all of the staff are 'proper' carers and do the best they can for the residents. I try to take my wife out most days and now I am older the staff always help me to get my wife and her wheelchair in and out of the car. Communication with the home is excellent. The phone in reception is almost always answered immediately and I am always made aware of anything happening with my wife that I need to know about.

Mam moved into West Farm Care Centre in March 2024. We are very reassured that my mam is very safe there. The home is very clean and tidy and the staff are very caring and nothing is a problem for them. The staff & management always keep me informed of my mam with any health concerns. Mam enjoys the
food I would definitely recommend West Farm Residential Care Centre.

My friend moved here in June 2023 and the change in her in this short time is incredible. The change has given my friend back, she is smiling again putting on weight and we both think this is down to the care and kindness shown to everyone. I think every member of staff have shown residents thoughtfulness,
and we are so lucky nothing seems to be a bother. I think we are very lucky to have so many wonderful care in one care home. Thank you so much for caring for my friend.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.848)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.848) out of 10 for West Farm Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.848 for West Farm Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (194 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 223 Ratings = 4.848
  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 West Farm Care Centre is based on 19 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 19 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.
