Despite advertising themselves as being able to care for complex mental health issues, this is very far from the truth. After only 3/4 weeks of caring for my stepdad, who is displaying symptoms of severe depression, anxiety, and the possible onset of dementia, the management served notice of
eviction because he has 'behavioural issues'. Before notice was served no attempt was made to diagnose or support his condition. Regularly, during visits, I noticed safeguarding guidelines weren't met because his call bell was disconnected, he was offered no dignity and left to lie on his bed in just top half clothing and an incontinence pad, with no bedding other than a pillow and bottom sheet on a plastic mattress, and his curtains closed at 2pm in the afternoon. Overall, a very unsatisfactory experience. There are many alternatives that are cheaper, better managed, with far superior facilities and decor. Please make sure that you've considered all available local homes before committing here.

Very impressive: their efficient, thorough and friendly support has quite literally given Mum a new lease of life at 100. I am especially impressed with their attention to human dignity while maintaining an approach which is friendly and informal.

My husband has been a resident for ten months at Westley Court, at all times he has been treated with care and dignity. The staff are always friendly and helpful and do their best to make his stay as comfortable as possible.

Mom was on end-of-life care when she arrived at Westley Court. During such a traumatic time, we cannot thank the staff enough for the thoughtfulness and care they provided to both mom and the family members. We could not have wished for her to be in a better place. What an amazing standard of care.
We cannot thank you all enough.

My mom had a stroke and could not be looked after at home several nursing homes were recommended the minute we saw Westley Court we knew as a family this is where we wanted our mom to be . We were met by the lovely Manager who took us round and showed us the rooms which were lovely I would describe
it as home from home . Mom was moved into Westley Court and the minute she arrived all the staff have been amazing nothing is to much for them .They have been amazing and we cannot thank all the staff enough for the kindness and care they have showed my mom .

I was admitted to Westley Court Care Home in July 2019 in 'end stage heart failure with a life expectancy of 3-6 months'. Within days I saw a GP and Heart Failure Nurse who reviewed all of my medication, breathing 'aids' and activities. In that time I developed swallowing problems (and we had the
'Covid Lock Down') and I am still in heart failure with other problems but it is all 'managed' by the HF nurse and staff in the home.
The rooms here are all large, overlook 'green belt' and have their own en suites,. A lounge/diner surrounds an open air dining/BBQ area and is also used for regular entertainment and activities.
Food is good and varied and may be brought to the room or served in the lounge/diner. Staff and management are 'caring' and reliable. Suffice to say that when my husband developed Parkinsons and dementia, my family had no hesitation is applying for a place for him here.

Mum was here three weeks for respite. When we visited she always looked happy and well cared for. The staff were so caring and treated mum with dignity and respect. The whole atmosphere was warm, friendly and relaxed. At the end of her stay, mum was sad to be leaving her friends and told us she
had a lovely time. The Manager made the process of arranging the stay very easy and was approachable throughout.
03 April 2025
I have risided here for over six months and although being recently widowed, I was made very welcome but given the space to greive.
I now feel part of a happy group of people, both service users and care providers.
01 April 2025
Nan's stay was breif, but in this short time she was well cared for. The bedroom she was in was calm, peaceful & extremely clean. Staff were positive, attentive & happy. Thank you.

Brilliant service and amazing staff. My dad is looked after so well and seems happy to be here in the situation he is in. He is always clean & tidy and has everything he needs.
17 March 2025
Dad has only been at the carehome for a couple of months, but in that time he has been well cared for by all the carers.The staff are all lovely! The only thing is they could do with more entertainment/activities.
24 February 2025
Security needs - management attention - no staff around, at least 4/5 mins looking - could not locate, could not find anyone to hand over to relative. Could easily have been wandering around building. Relative wanting meds - tired. Would not of course wander! So have some system if reception staff
are not around or carers. Staff did not know how to let me out.
29 January 2025
Overall, very satisfied with everyone here. Mom was very well looked after and we are grateful. The carers and nursing staff deserve to be paid a lot more considering what they have to do compared to the costs that are paid to the home.

Our experience of Westley Court over the last 22 months is one of a nursing home that has a dedicated staff who really do care for the patients. They treat them with great dignity and respect. The staff are always friendly and helpful whenever you visit and the manager is first-class and takes great
pride in the nursing home and the patients in her care.
27 September 2024
I have to say the carers were exceptional. They went beyond their work to help and support my mum. There is a great team. The manager is also very understanding and compassionate.
07 June 2024
Westley Court is my second experience of a care home. Here, a professional and capable staff have to cope on 12-hour shifts with everything that is required with 2 having to do the work of 3, as is usual. They deal with what comes their way with good humour and thoughtfulness. I find all the staff
easy to get on with and appreciate what they do. Inevitably there are sometimes long waits for basic services, but this is a consequence of understanding. These comments may seem bland but they are accurate.
17 May 2024
I have been visiting my friend since her illness obliged her to go into care. As an outsider, I cannot comment on everything, only what I have personally observed. She is not capable of participating in activities, so that category is irrelevant. However, I can testify that the staff are kind,
friendly and helpful and treat her respectfully. She was, for a while, in another local care home and I can see that Westley Court suits her better.
25 April 2024
Exceptional service from all staff members. Mom has all her wishes met and they cannot do enough for you either as a resident or family member. Care needs are brilliant and always taken care of quickly and efficiently. Would recommend this care home to anyone that asks.

Mom wasn't coping with her needs at home and she had been in hospice for a few weeks where she picked up enough to go into a home. We were told Westley Court had a place and they promptly arranged to come out to meet my mom to make sure they could offer her her needs. Myself and my sister looked
around Westley Court and were impressed with the look of the Home. It's in lovely grounds with scenic views. It looked clean and the staff were nice and on the ball. Mom was offered a nice ensuite room. The staff are friendly and approachable. Mom is well taken care of. We feel she is well taken care of and we are happy for her to stay there as she is very well supported. Her medical needs are been taken care of. They occasionally do activities ie bingo, a singer etc visiting. They have a lovely recently redecorating dining/sitting room for all their uses. Mom seems to like being taken care of we are grateful for Mom to be taken care of somehwere we are happy for her to be.

I mentioned my brother looked a bit unkempt - long nails, hair, beard and moustache. The lovely deputy manager explained very kindly that he was refusing to have things done. However, the next time I saw him, he was shaved, haircut and nails all trimmed - more like the man I know. Thank you for
always looking after him with his best interests first. Thank you for listening and changing things. He feels much better. Love the new manager's in-situ's attitude.
