Since coming into the care home my mother's every need has been met. Staff at all levels have been considerate and compassionate to both my mother and her family members.
My mother has seemed to be much happier in the care home than she was at home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My uncle originally came in for respite care after his mobility took a decline and he was struggling to live independently in Beckenham. We were extremely anxious about the entire process but once through the doors, we knew he was in the best hands and were overjoyed when he wanted to stay as a full-time
resident. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating, allowing him to do as much or as little as he wanted, he was assisted with washing when needed, had his hair cut and on his 90th birthday he had banners on his door, a card, present and a birthday cake at tea time. Little touches like this meant so much. Plus we were able to visit every day, with no time constraints so work was never an issue. Sadly his time was cut short in the home after his health declined and he never made it back again from hospital, something we as a family were devastated about. He was very happy in your care and we will always be eternally grateful to you for looking after him.

Mum is in this lovely, caring care home for respite with a view to a permanent stay. She has been there for nearly two weeks and has already made friends. The staff cannot do enough for Mum and they are caring, friendly and kind. It is like a home from home. The home itself has been furnished to a high-end,
modern finish, a bit like a hotel. I would definitely recommend this home for your loved one. Thanks everyone at West Hill Care Home!

My father was only at West Hill care home for a few weeks before passing away. However during the time that he was there, he was treated with kindness and respect by all the staff. The facilities were first class, it was always spotlessly clean and we were always made to feel welcome whenever we visited.
Deciding on a care home is a very difficult decision for anyone to make, but I would not hesitate in recommending West Hill Care home.

The care staff at this home are very professional and carry out a very friendly execution of their duties relating to my mother. My mother suffered a major stroke in July 2021 and relies on the nursing/care staff for all her needs. I can't praise them highly enough and offer them thanks from our family.

My dad was very well cared for during his time at West Hill Care Home, his stay was short but during that time the staff could not have been more obliging or hospitable. The facilities, food and social events are first-rate. I could not fault the care my dad received and would recommend this care home
wholeheartedly.

My aged mother recently had a fractured hip, and as her mobility is quite impaired, she has required more or less constant attention. All the staff have been superb in attending to her needs. She is still “with it” and is extremely appreciative of the attention she is receiving.

My father who has Dementia came in to stay for two weeks to give my mother a well earned rest. We were extremely stressed initially about the whole experience but the manager came to visit and went through everything with us - he was very warm, friendly and efficient and put our minds instantly at ease.
During his stay, the staff were all extremely welcoming and friendly and you could see it's a happy place to work and run very efficiently. The whole place was immaculately clean, all my father's clothes were well laundered and he was clean tidy and happy when we picked him up. I would thoroughly recommend West Hill Care Home to anybody and it is most definitely somewhere we will look to in the future. Special mention to the staff member who clearly loves her job and working at West Hill, she kindly showed us round and saw how beautiful and stylish the place really is. The staff member on reception is also extremely friendly and helpful and the carer who looked after dad. Thank you West Hill Care Home!

My father went for respite at the home after falling and breaking his shoulder. He is 94-years-old and I felt very anxious and guilty about sending him there. I can honestly say there was no reason to feel like this. The care he received was excellent and he enjoyed his month's stay. I could visit at
any time and they had some lovely entertainment. When I next go on holiday, I will have no reservation about him going there again. He has even asked if he can go back there when I am on holiday. Lovely place, excellent facilities.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It was a massive change for my 92-year-old father to leave his home where he had lived for the past 49 years, and for the past 12 years looking after himself.
He took the decision to move into West Hill Residential Care Home at the beginning of March 2022 and since then, the level of care, friendliness
and professionalism the care team has extended to him, and to us, has been exemplary.
The care home itself is of a very high standard and absolutely nothing is too much trouble for the staff.
The 4 week respite trial period that is offered by the care home is a fantastic idea as it allowed my father to try it out first, knowing that he could leave if he didn't like it.
I would fully recommend West Hill Care Home to anyone reading this review and can assure you that the level of care is first class.

Our mum was transferred from hospital to West Hill Care Home in September 2021 following a severe stroke.
As a family, we were initially apprehensive about her going into a care home but after our first visit, our fears were allayed.
All of the staff, no matter what their role, have shown genuine
compassion for both Mum and the family and treats Mum with the utmost respect and tenderness whilst maintaining her dignity as she is completely dependent for all her care and nursing needs.
The facilities are always immaculately presented and Mum's room and bedding are always spotless and Mum is kept in clean and appropriate clothing at all times.
We are always made very welcome and our interactions with all staff have been extremely positive.
We are kept informed of Mum's condition and couldn’t ask for a better environment for her to be cared for in.
Thank you to all, it makes a very difficult situation so much easier to deal with as a family.

My dear friend of over 70 years of friendship, after four months at home needing 24-hour care, came in for three weeks respite and decided it would be fair for her family if she, having been so impressed by her care, should return as a permanent resident. As a constant visitor, I am impressed with her

My mother-in-law came to West Hill Care Home from hospital for a CHC assessment. The care home management and staff ensured that her treatment was first class and she was treated with the utmost kindness and respect. During her stay, it was her 99th Birthday and the staff arranged a cake for her and
made it a special occasion for her and a wonderful memory for my wife and I. Sadly she passed away before a decision was made on her ongoing care, which was not the outcome we all wanted, but the knowledge that she was safe and well cared for in her final weeks is a comfort to all her family.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.795)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.795) out of 10 for West Hill Care Home 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 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 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 4.795 for West Hill Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (426 Excellents x 5) + (64 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 503 Ratings = 4.795
  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 Hill Care Home is based on 41 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 77 registered maximum number of service users is 15.4, which has been reached with 41 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.
