Overall Experience

What a fabulous home! My grandmother moved in the home over a bank holiday weekend and I cannot fault the home for their patience with the move being from out of the county. The owner, manager and the whole team at Westlands Care Home cannot be more professional, friendly and courteous! The birthday

celebration for the grandmother turning 99 where we could attend was amazing, she thoroughly enjoyed her cake and attention. Thank you so much to Westlands for looking after and caring for her so well.

Overall Experience

My father was a resident with Westlands from May 2019. At that time, he was very depressed and struggling with anxiety. He’d really lost his joy of life and we were very worried about him. After a very short time at Westlands, he became a changed man - his cheeky sense of humour came back and he was

often found laughing and joking with all the wonderful staff. He was made to feel very secure and part of the Westlands “family” and this significantly reduced his anxiety. He enjoyed day trips out (when lockdown permitted) and really felt at home there. So much so that when he came to visit us, he couldn’t wait to get back to Westlands. He always raved about the quality and taste of the food and how lovely all the staff were. We were thrilled that, over time, they got Dad enjoying crosswords, scrabble and crafting and I have some wonderful photos of a very happy Dad during his time with Westlands. We couldn’t have asked for more and we’ll be forever grateful for all they did for Dad.

Overall Experience

We visited Westlands and discussed our issues of trying to find a new home for our elderly mother, who had recently lost her husband and suffered from dementia. The staff were extremely helpful in understanding our concerns and provided a high level of confidence. Over the next few months, we exchanged

further communications which led to my Mother taking a respite trial and then becoming a full resident for over two years. During this time, the Westlands team provided a very professional and caring service. Medication was reviewed regularly, with consultation with doctors and the amount of medication was able to be reduced drastically. The weekly afternoon activities provided regular social interaction and enjoyment. Dietary and favourite foods were accommodated regularly and provided regardless of the time of day. The very friendly, cheerful and helpful staff provided a very comfortable environment for my mother and took away our concerns. Thank you to all of the Westlands team.

Overall Experience

My mother was a resident at Westlands from November 2018 until February 2021, when Mum sadly passed away. At all times, I found Mum's care excellent. At the time of Mum's death, she could not have had better care and attention and I would like to say a big thank you to all the staff involved in Mum's

care as it was second to none. Even though during the pandemic, things have not been easy, I have been able to see Mum on various occasions and spoken to her regularly on the phone, for which I am extremely grateful. At all times I have been kept up to date on Mum's health and well being. I would not hesitate in recommending Westlands to anyone. Again a big thank you to everyone at Westlands, who are all excellent.

Overall Experience

I have known Westlands for some years both under the previous owner and the current one.
I run a singing group in the village across the river, and we have sung at Westlands' Christmas party every year until prevented by COVID-19. We have also gone over to sing in the summer. I was so impressed by

the warmth of reception there and the recommendations from friends who had relatives living there, that we moved my mother in after my father died. My mother lived there for 3 years, passing in 2018. I have been back to visit the staff and a few residents who I got to know since.

Overall Experience

Since the day our Mum was admitted to Westlands, we have been delighted with everything that has been provided. She was admitted 6 years ago; the care and support she has received has been excellent. All the staff are friendly, caring and sincere with the other residents and family members. Standards

of care, cleanliness, food, rooms etc, are outstanding. The staff are simply wonderful – knowledgeable and professional, who have forged strong relationships with our mum, who quite simply love her – watching her face light up as a member of staff attends to her, gives us so much comfort, knowing they have her trust as they look after her needs.

Overall Experience

With reference to any sections dealing with the interior of Westlands, due to the pandemic, my comments are confined to the period December 2019 to March 2020. Since then the interior has been refurbished and there have been some staff changes. My mother quickly settled into Westland's homely atmosphere.

We are welcomed at any time by friendly, cheerful staff. My mother is being extremely well cared for and her family kept up to date on any issues she might have. All questions and concerns are promptly answered and properly dealt with. When medical attention is needed this is promptly sourced; staff have taken her to appointments. She enjoys the food, her likes are catered for including the icecreams she enjoys on group outings which she also enjoys. Staff are very good at getting a 99-year-old lady into the home's transport. They have been, and are, working extremely hard at communications, including the internet, between my mother and her four children during this stressful time.

Overall Experience

When it became clear my mother needed more help and care for her needs, my sister and I had to make the difficult decision to place her in a more, safer environment. We tried 2 previous care homes where she was not happy and settled. A previous carer that was visiting my mother at home suggested Westlands.

My sister and I went to visit the care home and were extremely impressed with the staff, cleanliness and ambience of the home. We felt comfortable to place mum into Westlands. We were allowed to visit at any time and always found mum clean, well dressed and comfortable. The staff are amazing, and the care is second to none. Since my mother has been in Westlands, she has been happy and settled. My sister and I are more relaxed now knowing she is being looked after so well. During the pandemic, we have been kept up to date with emails, video calls, photographs and WhatsApp. We would definitely recommend Westlands to anybody who has to make the same difficult decision we had to.

Overall Experience

My mother has been a resident at Westlands. She was very happy there, and in particular, she felt secure and safe as she was becoming more infirm. She could not have been in better hands in the time leading up to her death. I witnessed professional care and friendship. She was treated with dignity,

kindness, respect and humanity. This afforded family members certain peace of mind, and we are grateful.

Overall Experience

My mother, who suffered from Parkinson's disease, was looked after as a resident at Westlands for several years.
Throughout that time, I can honestly say I never had the slightest doubt that we had chosen the best home, and the best level of care possible for Mum. The staff gave Mum a personalised

care plan full of warmth and affection, and there were many occasions where we saw staff going out of their way to be helpful, friendly and caring even when, towards the end of her stay, Mum was confined to her bed and needed special care.
The building is spacious, and well equipped, with an outdoor terrace for those that are mobile.
If you are looking for a care home of the highest quality, and a happy and safe environment for your loved one ... you have found it!

Overall Experience

My Mother sadly passed away on 16 October 2016 at Westlands Retirement Home, Teignmouth.

I would like to say a big thank you to all the Staff at Westlands for the wonderful care they gave Mum during her stay there. This is an excellent Home, where each resident is treated as an individual and where

personal needs are catered for in a safe and caring environment by an excellent group of Carers and a highly respected Manager. Personal dignity is respected at all times and family atmosphere is always encouraged with family member always made welcome.
