I found Westhill Park Care Home in July 2023 when my mother needed more help than I could give her. Mum settled in quickly and told me how kind everyone was and her room was bright and cheerful. The team very quickly got Mum's health up and the home's own hairdresser each week keeps her looking well.
She tells me frequently how happy she is. The activities each day keep her alert. In fact the team joins in wholeheartedly, making the home such a cheerful place to live and me to visit. My granddaughter enjoys visiting with me. The whole home is decorated to a high order and has changed how I expected Care Homes to be. Thank goodness!! I know I couldn't have found anywhere nicer for my mum to live her final years. Well done Home Manager and your wonderful team.

My mum has been a resident at the home for a few months now and I couldn't be happier with the level of care she receives and the weekly haircut/blow dry is a bonus!. A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders now that she lives here and she and I both adore all of the staff who are always so happy
and helpful. Finally, I love keeping up with what she's up to on the Facebook page which is updated everyday.

One of my closest friends has recently been admitted to the home. I have joined the care home's social media page. I have been amazed and delighted to see the varied and interesting activities provided for the residents. I have visited people in other homes and never have I seen so many topics covered.
This leads to the residents looking happy and stimulated. It is a joy to visit her. Well done to the staff who all seem to clearly love their jobs.

Mum has been in Westhill Park care home for over 3 years. She has received excellent care from day 1 tending to all my mums needs. Communication has been excellent and they have always kept me informed of how she is.
The care team are all fantastic and I've witnessed first-hand what an amazing job
they do.
I wouldn't want my mum to go anywhere else.

Mum loves this and regards it as home now. The staff are always very helpful, they are always at hand to support me and answer my questions. Entertainment is varied and enjoyed by all. In fact I am often greeted with, "Oh I'm just going to bingo" or whatever is on. However, we are encouraged to participate

I enrolled my aunt at Westhill Park in 2020, she receives the most excellent care. She loves the room she is in and calls it her home, the staff are most caring and I get reports regularly on how my aunt's health is or, if there are any concerns. The facilities are second to none she has her hair and
nails done fortnightly, which she loves because she is most particular about her appearance, daily laundry, and her meals served either in the dining room or her own room.
When she is in her room for any length of time the careers pop in to see if she needs anything or even a cup of tea.
She loves the activities, she has taken up knitting again, they even bought her a carpet golf set to play to remind her of the days she was a golfer.
Regarding care, you could not wish for better careers they all go that extra mile and nothing is too much trouble for them.
The management staff under the manager provide excellent service keeping the home running as 'a tight ship'.

I just wanted to let you know how highly my family rates Westhill Park Care Home.
My parents both moved in about 3 years ago, my mother has since died, and my father is now coming to the end of his life. I live south of Cambridge and about 5 months ago we moved Dad from Kettering to a care home very
close to me so it would be much easier for me to see him. He's since moved back to Westhill Park - there was nothing wrong with the care home near here, but it was a world away from Westhill. As Dad says, he feels like he's part of a family at Westhill, rather than just a patient, and the love he has received at Westhill from the carers and other staff has been amazing. Dad was so pleased to move back into Westhill - on the day he moved back in, he joked about being covered in bruises because he'd had so many hugs from the staff welcoming him back! Both he and the family are extremely grateful for the care he is receiving, and for the warmth he receives from everyone.
Many thanks.

As a family, we have been so grateful for the care Mum has received at Westhill. It has been such a relief for us to know her medical needs are cared for as well as general wellbeing and everyday needs. The daily activities are so important to keep residents stimulated and at Westhill, it can range
from crafts, live music to animal visits. The staff are amazing and become like friends to the residents. Mum unfortunately finds it hard now to socialise with the other residents but the staff always give her the option to join in activities and it's so good when we see that they have persuaded her to get out of her room and enjoy music, and the odd crafts for example. As a family, we are so happy to have found Westhill Care Home.

I continue to remain impressed by the care received by my mother at Westhill Park. My mother suffers from advanced dementia but is always treated with dignity, patience and kindness. This month my mother celebrated her birthday and whilst she lacks the capacity to appreciate fully the significance of
such occasions, she was made to feel special and all of the staff made sure that she enjoyed the day. More recently, she was 'resident of the day' and was treated to some extra treats. It is clear to me that the staff know my mother well and are able to provide bespoke care, whilst recognising her likes and dislikes. Her recent care review was conducted thoroughly and professionally and this, too, is a source of comfort and reassurance to me.

A great home with fantastic, professional and caring staff. Mum is very happy and feels safe knowing that there is always someone close by to help. Although she suffers with some memory issues the staff will always pop in a remind her what's going on each day as she loves all the activities and enjoys
joining in. She says that 'while getting old isn't ideal, obviously I'm still living my best life!'
The manager and senior staff are knowledgeable, friendly, committed and helpful, and the carers are really dedicated to the resident's comfort and wellbeing. As a family, we're always welcomed and feel part of the team. Would recommend it without hesitation.

My aunt has been a resident at Westhill Park since January 2019. She has multiple medical needs and these have changed and deteriorated over the years. Westhill have always managed to accommodate these changing needs and seems to take it in their stride as they go. Staff are friendly and approachable
and my Aunt is always clean and her room spotless. There seem to be lots of activities which residents can choose to attend or not. I worry sometimes that my aunt can be 'forgotten' as she is mostly in her room with only TV as company but on visits she seems happy in herself. The home itself is kept in good order, very clean and has a nice small wrap-around garden.

As my dear friend needed full-time/24-hour care - I carefully selected this home for him. He was recently widowed and having Alzheimer’s could no longer live at home without his wife caring for him. This home and all the staff cater for all of my friend's needs fully, often going above and beyond. The
home is beautiful, clean and organised. There are choices of appropriate activities to keep all busy every day. The food and dining areas are hotel-standard. The main thing for us is the caring, friendly, helpful staff - from management right through to domestics.

The staff are always so friendly and willing to help and you can visit anytime to suit yourself. The food menus are varied and the food is always very well presented. Mum doesn’t eat a lot but always remarks on how good the food is. My Mum loves it here and thinks it’s the “Best Hotel” in Kettering.
What she really enjoys is the time that all the residents spend together and then she can go back to her own comfy room when she’s ready.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.810)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.810) out of 10 for Westhill Park 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 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 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 4.810 for Westhill Park is calculated as follows: ( (386 Excellents x 5) + (68 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 464 Ratings = 4.81

  • 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 Westhill Park is based on 39 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 39 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.

Sharmaine

Sharmaine Hall

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2021

In December 2009, I started a job as a support worker in a care home with no idea whether I would suit the role, I then became a senior support worker, then a team leader, a deputy manager, a project manager and then home manager, I think it's fair to say that I suited the role.


Sadly, there is a perception of care that is quite dated and conjures up images of dingy lounges and rice pudding. From day one I wanted to prove that good care homes can be fabulous places to live, that they were not institutions but homes with beautiful facilities and opportunities to really live, not just exist.


When I am making decisions about hiring, menus, activities, decor, I always imagine my family and think about what I would want for them. The people we care for are individuals with rich histories and I want them to remain so, nobody has to fit in here. We provide a service to meet individual needs and that is as it should be.


My favourite part of the job is working with my team; knowing that we are making a difference, I like to lead by example. I work hard to ensure that we are providing a high standard of care and that the home is a happy place.


Every day I work with families and other professionals to ensure our residents get the best service. I am caring and passionate about what I do.


Westhill Park is a fantastic home with hardworking and caring staff. The residents that live with us are amazing and have such individual characters and amazing stories to share. The staff take pleasure in getting to know them and their families, listening to their life histories enables them to form a bond and gain their trust.
One day I'd like to be a director of care, I won't be satisfied until I know that I have provided 5 star care to as many people as possible.


Working in social care is not a job, it's a vocation and I feel truly blessed to have found mine.

Alison

Alison Hackett

Job Title: Head Chef

Joined: 2023

I am the head chef at Westhill. I joined the team at Westhill a year ago as a Kitchen Assistant and progressed to head chef after coming from a catering background for over 25 years. I have nearly always worked in care homes and love my job. The environment at Westhill is a lovely place to be. It’s home from home and my colleagues are great to work with. We all have the residents at heart and my role allows me to provide good, wholesome nutritious meals and also indulge them in a range of sweet treats and cakes which I really enjoy making for them.


Everything I cook or bake has a spoonful of love added to it!

Stephen Sherratt

Job Title: Housekeeping Manager

Joined: 2021

Hi, my name is Stephen and I am the Housekeeping Manager here at Westhill Park.


Firstly, I'm going to tell you about myself. I was born and raised in Stoke on Trent, I have lived up North and down South and I am currently living in Kettering. As soon as I left school I went straight into employment I have had various job roles but I found that I am best suited in the hospitality industry. I worked to achieve my NVQ Level 2 in hospitality during my working career.


I was employed as a Housekeeper once I started at Westhill Park but soon progressed into my role as Housekeeping Manager soon after.


The best part of my job is managing my team, working alongside the management to care for the residents who live here at Westhill Park.
