My grandmother passed away last month and was a resident in West View prior to this. I do not live locally but visited a few times a year - often with my young children (her great-grandchildren). The staff were always kind and attentive to all residents treating them with care and respect.
When my
grandmother was more able they would ensure she could partake in more physical activities and socialise. In her final weeks, they kept her comfortable and safe.

Thank you for taking the time to write these kind words. I will be sure to pass reviews on to the team and remind them of the good work they do.

I am very impressed with the standard of care West View provides to its residents. My grandmother was cared for beautifully and as an individual. The staff couldn’t do enough, the manager was open to suggestions and supported my Grandmother to ensure she had excellent end-of-life care. I am a Senior
Nurse in London with high standards and am very impressed with what I saw. Thank you West View.

My mum was a resident at West View for nearly 2 years. The care was all we could have hoped for - kindness and dignity at all times. The food was very good and her own preferences were taken into account. There were always plenty of activities going on and a friendly atmosphere at all times. In my opinion,
West View sets a standard to which all care homes should aspire.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Since my previous review, my Mother sadly passed six weeks ago. During the six weeks prior to her death, I visited twice daily, Mum was very strong and received 'end of life care' for six weeks. The care Mum received was second to none, her personal care was wonderful, I used to love the smell of 'Dove'
when I went in, her hair was always brushed beautifully, her skincare was faultless, never dry and moisturised regularly. The staff check pressure areas regularly and everything was charted. Always drinks to hand and everyone was so supportive towards me. One Manager said to me 'We will support you all the way and beyond'. I still visit weekly to play games, I enjoy it and the atmosphere is so uplifting with lots of laughter.
Every single detail of Mum's 'end of life' plan was implemented perfectly, both physical and spiritual aspects of her care. I can honestly say Mum was so blessed to have spent her last two years in West View.

Reply from Jennifer Collins, Admin at West View Care Home

Thank you, Sarah, for giving us the opportunity to meet and care for your wonderful mum. Sharing time with her and her family was a real privilege. Thank you for choosing West View and for your continued support to both the home and its residents.

My wife has been a resident here for about 16 months. I visit every other day as it is fifteen miles from our home address on busy and, at times, narrow roads. During these visits, I have been impressed with all I have seen, from the helpful and cheerful staff to the cleanliness of the buildings and
various rooms. The activities each day (one AM and one PM except Saturday and Sunday) are very welcome to the resident and better than I have seen in other care homes.

We cannot speak highly enough of the care our mum received at West View. The staff and owners were always helpful, friendly and attentive. Our mother enjoyed all the activities, outings and food. Nothing was too much trouble, and we are so grateful to know that the last few months of her life were spent
feeling safe, well cared for and happy in such a beautiful place.

This short stay took place from 16th to 30th June following a short stay in hospital, after a fall from a ladder. It was in the form of respite care in order for my wife to go on a pre-booked holiday. The care I received was in the form of meals and a room.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

West View is perfect for my elderly mother. She has 24/7 care and individual attention to her personal needs, whether medical, emotional, physical, or social. The home is attractive, spotless, well maintained, with a beautifully kept garden available for residents' use. The food is delicious. There
are twice-daily activities, including exercise, craft, and gardening, outings to Dartmoor, social gatherings, and celebrations. There are regular 'church' services and fellowship meetings for those seeking spiritual support. Check out their Facebook page! Every resident is treated with respect and every visitor is welcomed. We are kept informed if there are any medical problems; they also handle hospital appointments. This is a family-run business but it feels like home. The staff is professional, polite, extremely caring, and always kind to both residents and visitors. It was very important to us to find a home where my mother would be happy and well looked after - we couldn't wish for better.

Reply from Dominika Nawalany, Assistant Manager at West View Care Home

Thank you very much for your kind and positive feedback and we truly appreciate it. It is so lovely to hear that your Mum is happy at West View and that you are happy with the care that we strive to provide. I will pass these comments on to the team which will give them so much pride to read.

Amazing staff and highly personalised level of care.
The staff got to know Mum at a very deep and sincere level, there is genuine love and affection both ways in the relationships that she has with them.
It is such great comfort to me to know that even though I’m far away, she is being cared for by
people who genuinely love and enjoy caring for her.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

This lovely family-focussed home provided our friend with a wonderful respite break. In the short duration that she was there, her time was filled with trips out to Dartmoor and the Plymouth Hoe for ice creams and sight-seeing. She encountered birds of prey visiting the home and miniature ponies which
she absolutely loved. There was a variety of activities on offer although she was reluctant to engage in some staff encouraged participation. She was welcomed and fully included with other residents and nothing was too much trouble for their staff reassuring her in every aspect including the stair-lift which wasn’t so popular. Thank you so much for your excellent service.

Reply from Trevor Atkinson, Manager at West View Care Home

Thank you for taking the trouble to review our care home. Thankfully only three rooms require access by a stairlift as we have a full wheelchair accessible passenger lift fitted for access to all our all first floor rooms. We are glad that your friend enjoyed her stay.

West View is a wonderful, caring, homely environment. They have taken my mum's needs, being blind, into account with everything they do. She enjoys many of the activities and her mental health has improved remarkably as she is kept well amused and stimulated. Her health needs are also very well met.

Staff are caring and considerate but inclined to be overstretched, especially overnight. Residents are treated with friendly consideration and their requirements are met as far as is possible. Pleasant and comfortable atmosphere.

Reply from Trevor Atkinson, Owner at West View Care Home

Thank you for your review, your opinion matters to us. We have two working night staff from 9.30pm to 7.30am and we record and monitor our response times. We respond to the most highly dependent residents as a priority, some of whom require two staff for assistance. Please let me know if you have any further issues. Tenants such as yourself have an emergency only response however, we will always aim to assist you should you request help at night. Trevor.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.006)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.006) out of 10 for West View Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 4 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.917 for West View Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (44 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.917

  • b) 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 4.089 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for West View Care Home is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 = 3.375

    • ii) 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.6 = 0.714

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
