I cannot enthuse enough about Westfield House. My mother has advanced dementia. She is double incontinent and requires two people to move, wash and dress her. Having been in for just over a year, she is better now in terms of her look and demeanour than when she went in. Despite the various leaky bladders
and worse, the home never has any unpleasant smells. Something you only realise afterwards as smell usually only becomes memorable when you notice them. All the staff have an enviable level of professionalism. They always organise plenty of activities to vary the long days. The food is amazing and the chefs seem to prepare all the food from scratch and provide varied meals for breakfasts, dinners and teas.

All staff make me feel welcome with a cheery smile. I eat once a week (lunch) with my mum at Westfield and the food is delicious - always a choice.
Staff care for my mum with great compassion, she has some hearing loss and does struggle understanding, communication staff from other countries.
From
my observations staff "run off their feet."

My mother moved to Westfield from hospital on Christmas day 2023. From the first day the staff have been fantastic with their care for Mum. Staff have kept me informed of Mum's condition throughout her stay and have always been available when I needed them. Mum suffers with Dementia and on occasion
needs a lot of care, this is provided by the staff with care, empathy and professionalism.

I have always been more than satisfied with the care that my sister receives at Westfield Care and Nursing Home. She has been a resident at Westfield for a number of years and I have never felt the need to worry as to the care and attention she receives. Family medical problems and covid have made visiting
difficult but I have always had peace of mind regarding the care and attention my sister receives.

The staff are fantastic. They are constantly checking to see if my mum is ok and interacting with her. Nothing is too much, from feeding her jelly babies and just sitting with her to helping change and dress her. I can’t thank them enough.

My dad was given a place at Westfield Care and Nursing Home in February 2023. I visited the home prior to his admission and right from the start I was impressed by the friendliness and kindness of all the staff. Everyone who comes into contact with Dad has treated him with kindness and respect, and
I mean everyone, the nurses, carers, cleaners, the manager and the administrator too. You can tell a lot about a care home from how happy the staff are in their work, and whenever I have visited Westfield I notice what a joyful atmosphere it has. Carers and nurses smile and laugh with each other and with the residents too, including my Dad, it is a pleasure to see. Sometimes I have read reviews where people say nothing was too much trouble for the staff and thought it was a cliché, however, that is genuinely my experience of the staff at Westfield, nothing is too much trouble for them. I will always be grateful that my dad was given a place at Westfield, I can relax knowing he is always in good hands.

My Aunt has lived at Westfield Care & Nursing Home for nearly 2 years. She has settled really well. She loves her room, the meals and the outings to all the different places. We cannot thank the staff enough for all the care and dedication to making the residents feel they are at home. My Aunt was thrilled
when a recent visitor to Westfield was a little dog. It made her day. Thank you

My husband who suffers with Alzheimer's has been a resident at Westfield since April 2022. He is happy and feels safe and well cared for.
All staff (manager, receptionist/admin, nurses, seniors/carers, housekeeping, chefs/assistants, activities and maintenance) provide excellent care and services.
They are a lovely bunch of people, kind and caring and nothing is too much trouble for them.
Westfield is a warm, friendly and homely place and is kept very clean and tidy.
The food is very good and drinks are available all day.
The activities team keep the residents occupied with indoor and outdoor activities (weather permitting). They are also taken on day trips out.
I would not want my husband to be cared for anywhere else and would highly recommend Westfield to anyone looking for a care and nursing home.
Thank you all for looking after my husband and for all the support and care you have given me. I now have peace of mind knowing that he is being very well looked after and well cared for.

My mum has been a resident here for over six years and has been very well looked after. Her dementia needs, both medically and socially, have been met accordingly and we can rest assured that she is happy and safe. There is very much a homely, family atmosphere here. Activities and celebrations can
be enjoyed by all. Mum particularly enjoys any musical activity which is so beneficial for her and lovely to see. The quality and quantity of food are very good and the food provided for special events is amazing! Mum's dietary needs are well catered for and her intake is carefully monitored. Mum is treated by staff with care and dignity. They know her well and good relationships have been formed with her. We too appreciate the friendly manner of the staff team where nothing is too much trouble from the dedicated medical and care staff to the reception, kitchen, housekeeping and maintenance staff. We enjoy visiting Mum here and we are very reassured knowing that Westfield is Mum's home.

Thoroughly professional and friendly throughout our visit. I live away and don’t see my mother very often so, to see how well she is looked after, gives me a lot of relief. I am confident she could not be spending her final years in a better place!

My husband has been a resident at Westfield Care & Nursing Home since the end of February having transferred from another Care Home. The manager leads a team of caring staff, for whom nothing is too much trouble. My husband is always well cared for and is treated with dignity and compassion. The team
recognise that this is a difficult time for me too, as my husband’s condition deteriorates, their kindness and care helps enormously. Care plans are under constant review and amended as necessary to ensure residents changing needs are met. Changes to my husband's condition and care are always fed back to me. I always felt no one would look after my husband as well as I did, I have to say Westfield Care & Nursing Home are doing a pretty good job and I would not hesitate to recommend the Home.

Our daughter moved into the home from another care home towards the end of last year.
She had been suffering from mental health and anxiety. The changes to the care she received at Westfield gradually showed a huge improvement in her.
We have visited today for the first time this year and she is looking
so happy and gained some of the weight she lost and even commented she is happy.
We were recommended Westfield, and congratulate the manager and the staff for the excellent care they provide, especially during these difficult times.

My son is very happy at Westfield Care Home.
The staff are caring, patient and committed to their job.

My husband has now been at Westfield Care & Nursing Home for twelve weeks. I’m extremely pleased with the care that he is receiving after the traumatic time that we both experienced prior to him moving there full time. The staff are very caring and kind to him and I’m so pleased that he is being looked
after so well. The staff have also been very supportive and understanding to my feelings during our transition.The home is well kept, very clean and has a lovely homely atmosphere.

In these difficult times, when we are not able to see our loved ones, I know our mum/nan is getting the best care from the lovely staff at the home. The staff constantly give support to our mum/nan and to family, nothing is ever too much trouble. Thank you for allowing me to be able to sleep at night,

My brother has received excellent care from Westfield Car Home. He has complex medical needs, and all the staff at Westfield give him excellent care. Just as important, they give him love too. The care and love they have given him during the pandemic have been above and beyond, wouldn’t hesitate to

My mother moved into Westfield in October 2015 and since then her care has been wonderful. Every member of staff is friendly, helpful and very professional. I can always ring to check on her, necessary during long COVID lockdown, and when I can visit, it is in a very safe environment. The home is always
clean and tidy and residents and staff all appear happy. My parents chose to move here together, and I believe they made the best choice possible.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.626)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.626) out of 10 for Westfield Care & Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.826 for Westfield Care & Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (76 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 92 Ratings = 4.826

  • 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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Westfield Care & Nursing Home is based on 8 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 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.8

    • 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 8 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
