The Leaders of Worship and Preachers Homes (LWPHomes) is a charitable organisation, formed in 2005, as the result of wide-ranging consultation, to assist preachers and leaders of worship, their widow/widowers and dependents in times of need.

LWPHomes offer excellent facilities in a Christian environment with a wide range of eligibility for residence.

All residents enjoy the freedoms and civil liberties associated with living as normal citizens in the community. Residents are encouraged to pursue their own hobbies and interests, either in the wider community or within the home.

Review of

Westerley Christian Care Home

from S C (Respite Resident) published on 17 March 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My experience of this home is limited to a weeks respite care but I am familiar with two other care homes so can make a relative assessment. The strength of this home is that the staff are the best caring team I have encountered and the new managers really dedicated to improvements all round following
on advice CQC report 2 years or so ago. My disappointment lasted to the other residents, a dozen or so very old ladies wo are no longer able (or liking) to socialise, but this appears to be fairly typical of care homes these days. Room facilities, meals and activities are thoughtfully planned and changes remarkably low. The Christian origins of this home continue to be important.

Reply from Simon Lee, CEO at Westerley Christian Care Home

Many thanks for your review and kind words for the caring nature of our home and staff. I am pleased that the positive changes have been recognised since the previous CQC rating some time ago and that the home now has a CQC 'Good' rating. We enjoyed having you stay with us and hope that if you need further respite in future you would like to come back.

I just wanted to write and say how wonderful Westerley Christian Care Home have been looking after our mum. She arrived really struggling to get up and walk, following a long hospital visit. She is now doing really well, enjoys socialising in the day in the conservatory. Eats well and joins in the activities,
like drives up to the moors. She is now able to walk again with her Zimmer frame. She is calm and relaxed looking out onto the beautifully looked-after garden. We couldn't ask for more from the amazing kind care team. We feel very lucky to have found Westerley Christian Care Home.

Following the change of management, the visit seemed to have a better feel/connection with us. It seemed that the home was better organised, however, my mother has expressed she is not happy about being put to bed so late, so maybe some improvement here would help. The present manager seems to be more
on the ball with getting things sorted for the residents.

I appreciate the daily devotions greatly, also the activities. It is a shame so many residents are deaf, normal conversation, especially at meals is impossible.
Lunch, the main meal of the day, is unable to be properly enjoyed in my case, one at my table grumbles and moans as she eats. Another with
eyes closed mainly 'eats' precariously, should residents like these be sat apart.

My mother, who is frail, reserved, dementia and anxiety sufferer has lived at Westerley for one year. We have found management, carers and all assistants helpful and incredibly kind and supportive and my mother's individual needs are met. I feel mother would not be cared for better or be happier anywhere
else. The atmosphere of Westerley is friendly and welcoming and to visit at any time is a bonus. Thank you Westerley.

Westerley Christian Care Home

from Sylvia B (Resident) published on 28 March 2023
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

The room is spacious and very home like with personal belongings on display. It certainly doesn’t feel like a care home but rather more personal. The carers could not be more ‘caring’. They work tirelessly to make sure life is as comfortable as possible. They are always busy but always find time to
have a chat and a laugh. Their dedication to the job is incredible. The facilities and activities available are comprehensive and everyone is made aware of what activities are available and encouraged to become involved especially keep fit exercises which can be standing or sitting and as involved as you want.
I am bedbound but still encouraged to move limbs where possible and not lie static in one position for long. In conclusion, the Home is not what I expected, it is comfortable, friendly and now feels like home.

For over three years as a resident at Westerley, my father has been looked after by every single carer as though he was their relative and treated with respect and friendship. I have nothing but praise for them all, especially during the past two years. Their encouragement and good humour after a fall,
initially, lifted him and helped him to recover. He knows he has a safety net around him in case of an emergency. His physical, dietary and social needs are met and he loves and takes an interest in the garden, which he enjoys whenever he can. We are kept informed of any problems and our enquires are always dealt with promptly.

Reply from Simon Lee, Director of Care Services at Westerley Christian Care Home

Thank you for your kind review and lovely sentiments about our staff and home. We are pleased your father continues to enjoy the home and gardens, which I must say are especially nice and well maintained. Thanks again for your review and we will continue to ensure our services are of high quality and meet the needs of our residents and beyond.

My mother is currently receiving care at Westerley and she loves it! She contracted Covid at home last year, spending 3 months in hospital before returning home. Unfortunately at the age of 86 she lost her mobility. The staff at Westerley are excellent and care for all the clients with compassion and
love.
Mum enjoys the craft activities, the Christian services as well as the sociability of other residents.
The food is of a good standard, with varied menus and choices. Mum wants to return home to be with my dad but I am sure she will definitely miss everyone at Westerley when she does.

Reply from Simon Lee, Director of Care Services at Westerley Christian Care Home

We are so pleased your Mum is enjoying her stay with us and I am sure the residents and staff will miss her too when she goes home. She will always be welcome back should the need arise in future or if she would like a holiday!

I spent four weeks in respite care following a fall at home. The staff at every level were kind and thoughtful and the general atmosphere at the home was very welcoming. I found the morning session of 'devotion' a lovely start to the day. That was followed by a morning session in the activities room
which gave mental and physical exercise and also gave an opportunity to integrate with other residents, which was very beneficial.

I really cannot speak highly enough of Westerley. My relative has been living there for just over three years. She is thriving in the care and attention she receives and is stronger and happier than when she first went in there from hospital, following a stroke. The facilities are ideal and homely.
All the staff are amazing and do all they can to help, often going over and above to do what they can. Everyone is treated as an individual.

My mum took up residence in Westerley in 2017 and she has been very happy there since she moved in. She has a lovely, cosy room with an en-suite bathroom and toilet. She has a large window where she can watch the birds and squirrels go about their daily business. It is also lovely to see her actively
banter with the staff with both parties laughing and joking.
Westerley is a lovely and well run care home with caring staff who are fully committed to the welfare of their residents. I believe that its small size and homely interior decor give it a cosy and welcoming ambience. The food is home-cooked, fresh, very tasty and the menu is varied throughout the week. There is a variety of activities on offer ranging from Christian worship to organised parties on special days and anniversaries. The library has a collection of books and stimulating puzzles plus access to the internet for those inclined. The residents are encouraged to leave their rooms to mix with the other residents or they can spend quiet time in the library. My mum will do a combination of mixing or quiet times, whatever takes her fancy. Sometimes she may spend the day in her room reading her newspaper, snoozing or watching TV. That's fine too.
The ongoing Covid management programme at Westerley is excellent and during lockdown was also caring for both residents and relatives. Although we couldn't visit mum, the staff arranged zoom calls with her, so that we could still speak with her face to face.
Westerley is a lovely place. Mum is happy and well cared for, which for us as a family, gives us peace of mind.

Our mum has been at the Westerley for nine months. The staff have coped admirably and thoughtfully throughout the pandemic. There’s a piano for Mum to play. Particular pluses are the homely food (our mum has put on weight) and the seaside literally down the road. Any queries are happily received and
generally dealt with quickly by the management who keep in contact with the family via text and email.

My aunt was booked in for 3 weeks of respite Christmas 2020. She has dementia and can be quite difficult. She settled in so well and was very happy we extended her stay. She is still at the home now and the staff have been excellent we can't fault them, especially when dealing with the Covid pandemic.
Westerley is very friendly and homely. Which is what you need! I'm booking a room for myself in the year 2040.

My sister has been a resident since July 2019. The majority of her time there has been during the Covid pandemic which was extremely well managed by the home. She has always been looked after very well by the caring and friendly staff. I am regularly updated with her well being and medical condition.
My sister is able to keep in contact with family and friends having her original telephone line in her comfortable en-suite. Besides meeting family and friends in her room there is also a comfortable library which is also available.
She has in fact thrived during her time at Westerley due to the wonderful home-cooked plentiful food and the caring and humorous staff.
I am more than happy with all aspects of Westerley.

I originally looked at the home for my father a number of years ago. Unfortunately due to his particularly severe health requirements, it was not a suitable home for him. However, when my mother broke her hip in December 2020 in the middle of the Covid crisis I remembered how kind and considerate the
staff were when I had visited previously. She moved into the home a year ago and I would recommend it highly. Unlike some other care homes, it really is a home on account of its small size but also due to the staff who are all genuinely caring. It lives up to its Christian ethos and has successfully navigated the Covid pandemic for the last two years. Some of the facilities may need sprucing up, but where can you buy love? Well done to all at the Westerley.

My aunt (96) has been a resident for over three years and has been really happy at Westerley. The staff are great, very caring and patient. They understand residents' needs and help them cope with the issues of elderly living.
The home has a good friendly atmosphere.
The food is really wonderful and
they try and accommodate individual likes and favourites.
In January I was concerned about her sleeping all day so the GP was asked to visit and check her over. Their own checks showed she was fine but were happy to double-check. With their help and encouragement, she is now back to her old self.
Westerley is not a modern building, I would guess it's Victorian. The lounge is just the right size to accommodate all the residents who generally all gather there during the day. Likewise, a well laid out dining room. A lift connects the 3 floors. Bedrooms mostly are en-suite and there are large bathrooms with baths and hoists. Each bedroom is unique you just need to choose.
The Covid protection was awesome.

My mum is very happy with the care she receives, she enjoys the activities within the home, the food and her room.
She likes all the staff and finds them easy to talk to and are attentive to her needs physically, mentally and spiritually.
If my mum is happy then so am I, any concerns I have are dealt
with in a quick professional manner.
All the staff are approachable and have a friendly welcome even through the Covid pandemic.
I am kept informed about any changes in my mum's care needs and also what is happening within the home.
I have nothing but praise and thanks for all the staff who make my mum's life happy and fulfilled she has new friends and sees the staff as new members of her family.
I know that she is cared for and her needs are met in a homely friendly setting.

My mum has been in Westerley for two years and can only speak in the highest terms of the care, support and love that she has received. The staff are always friendly when I visit and nothing seems too much trouble, in spite of the fact that there were times during Covid when they were quite short of
staff and were working extra hard. There is a lovely family atmosphere in the home and the residents are individually cared for and valued. The food is well cooked and varied. A special fuss is made of birthdays and other days are celebrated, like VE Day and Valentine's Day with special cakes and personal messages. The staff have encouraged Mum to use her gifts and let her share in the spiritual life of the home by leading devotional times on Sunday. Mum was able to bring some of her own furniture with her and her big bright room feels just like her own home. We are so thankful to know that Mum is happy here and could think of no better place for her to be.
