  • Westcombe Park Care Home, London
Westcombe Park is a modern care home situated in a pleasant leafy neighbourhood of south-east London. Here, they warmly welcome residents in need of nursing or residential care. They also provide respite and convalescence care.

Every bedroom has been thoughtfully decorated to create a warm and homely atmosphere. Most of the bedrooms are en suite. It can also accommodate couples with double rooms.

The home is close to local transport links, is a few minutes’ drive from the A2 and benefits from a bus route stopping directly outside the home, making visiting for family and friends easier. The care home is also only a few minutes’ walk to local amenities, shops and the local bank.

At Westcombe Park, staff take great care to focus on the person. It’s important for residents to feel at home, so it creates a friendly environment with an individually appropriate balance of care and independence.

Enjoying food is an important part of life. The chefs create well-crafted menus made with the freshest ingredients and try to cater for all ethnicity groups. Soon after a resident arrives at the home, staff discuss their personal preferences and dietary needs with them.

There’s a real sense of community at Westcombe Park. The staff work to discover what residents enjoy doing and the home's social calendar is organised around those interests. So whether a loved one already has a hobby or would like to take up a new one, there are lots of exciting activities to get involved in.

Westcombe Park is a very homely and kind care home. All the staff are happy, caring, knowledgeable, and experienced. Communication and service is excellent and the activities and specialisation are appreciated. The care home is well maintained, clean and tidy. The room and facilities are fabulous and
the environment is a 'home from home'. The food unfortunately could still be better. The variety is perfect but the cooking standard could be better.

Reply from Lisa Henderson, Customer Care Advisor at Westcombe Park Care Home

The carers are caring! And almost always remain cheerful and positive when with residents. The level of security is very reassuring. The management interaction with residents and relatives is well-balanced.

I am so relieved and pleased that my husband is at Westcombe Park Care Home. I know he is in good hands. The care staff are thoughtful and thorough. The manager talks to residents and their families on a regular basis. Our voices are heard! The recreation team works so hard to provide entertainment
and activities for all tastes.

I felt well cared for at Westcombe Park, although staff shortages led to a few problems, such as missing some morning activities (chair exercises) as I had not been showered in time. The room was quiet and kept clean, although the floorings in both the bedroom and bathroom need replacing as they are
worn. There was a good variety of food. The fruit plate was especially welcome to me as a 'pre-diabetic' but there was no sugar-free yoghurt.

I visit Westcombe Park Care Home twice a month as it is in St John's Parish. I enjoy listening and talking to the residents, I have made friends with several of them. I have not heard a single criticism of the staff or food, just some times other residents when they are being noisy through no fault
of their own. I enjoy also chatting to the regulars in the common room, they seem happy. In fact the atmosphere in the home is pleasant throughout.

My brother was admitted to Westcombe Park Care Home on 17/01/2023 and died there on 15/10/2024. In all that time he was very well cared for by the nursing staff, care workers and in particular the two ladies who arranged all the social activities and entertainment. Thank you all very much for looking
after my lovely brother.

It is a shame I cannot name people as there are so many wonderful people in Westcombe Park who deserve a mention. Our family feel blessed to have our Mum in this home. Her care is amazing and she is treated with respect and love. The relative gateway is very useful and quarterly resident and relative
meetings are always set up effectively for us to join digitally.

My mum's stay was very short but during that time all the staff tried their hardest to make sure her stay was as comfortable as possible. They tried to get to know her habits and it was all the more difficult as she did not speak much English. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and tried to
be as accommodating as possible. I am sad that Mum could not stay longer.

My father moved into the home in July 2023. It's been a great place for him. He recognised the need for full-time professional care and he has been provided this at Westcombe Park care home in a most wonderful way. The greatest asset of the care home is the staff and the whole team at Westcombe Park
have been so kindly and caring of him. I couldn't think of a better place for him to be at this time of life.

A welcoming, happy environment.
Staff made an amazing effort over Christmas for residents and families to feel part of the celebrations.
Entertainment staff also put on activities on a daily basis with singer, carol services and animals being brought into the home. The care home is spotless and
a welcoming home.
Residents families were also invited to a Christmas, which was thoroughly enjoyed.

I really appreciate the staff at Westcombe Park. After my grandad was discharged from the hospital we brought him here while his new house was getting prepared. Since being here his health has done a 180-degree turn. The staff were extremely helpful in rehabilitating him, not only physically but mentally
as well. The constant routine and mental stimulation did amazing things for him. He really enjoyed his time here.

Since arriving in November 2022 my wife has progressed well and looks amazing, having had regular showers, hair washed and dried which makes her look so much more like her old self I know and love, she is so much happier and cheerful and appreciates the staff coming in to see her.

My 89-year-old mother moved into Westcombe Park Care Home in November and has quickly settled in. She enjoys the companionship of having a cup of tea with everyone and getting involved with the games and events in the lounge every day but also has the space to rest in her room when needed. It’s a huge
relief knowing that she’s so well cared for and I am so grateful for the kindness shown to my mother by all of the staff.

Mum has only been in this home since January 2023. She has been on palliative care, we have found from reception, staff and management friendly and kind. When needed for assistance have provided the help where they can. Some of the relevant options we can't answer due to Mum's circumstances.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.557)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.557) out of 10 for Westcombe Park Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.557 for Westcombe Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (174 Excellents x 5) + (77 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 271 Ratings = 4.557

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Westcombe Park Care Home is based on 21 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 21 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.
