Westlands Care Home

Westlands is working within the government guidelines to help protect its staff and clients.

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.

Wireless Internet access (WiFi)

Yes, our care home has WiFi in all our resident’s rooms.

Mobile Phone Network Coverage (mobile “signal”)

Yes, our care home has mobile phone signal in all our resident’s rooms.

Telephone for external calling

No, our care home does not provide a telephone in residents’ rooms.

Westlands is approached through elegant electronic wrought-iron gates into a car parking area with ample space for numerous visitors’ cars.

The light, spacious open-plan reception areas lead into one another – from the downstairs lounge, into a light, bright dining area and then into a large conservatory, overlooking the gardens, plus a second conservatory which also enjoys views across the gardens.

Residents also have the opportunity for some pampering in the on-site hairdressing and beauty salon, with regular visits from the hairdresser, manicurist and chiropodist – and visits from the optician, dentist and GP.

There’s more pampering and relaxation for residents with the spa bath, hoist-assisted baths and wet room. Our passenger lift and chair lift are also available to those with limited mobility.

Our residents have been involved in the planning of the landscaped gardens, which they can enjoy throughout the year, providing the perfect place for a gentle stroll, to watch the wildlife or to sit with friends and family. Raised flower beds are full of scented herbs and flowers and there is also a water feature.

Residents’ rooms at Westlands are regarded as their own private, homely space – complete with their own private en-suite facilities. Every room has been fitted with high-quality built-in furniture and residents can have the rooms furnished by Westlands or they can bring their own furniture.

There is a high standard of decoration and quality soft furnishings and residents are encouraged to display their own pictures and personal effects.

The warm and cosy rooms all have individual thermostatic climate control and benefit from double glazing. There is also a television point and call bell providing 24 hour assistance, plus a telephone point for residents’ own direct line and the 15 additional rooms will all have internet access.

Westlands has a total of three Activities Co-ordinators, with one specialising in one-to-one activities with residents. The primary Activities Co-ordinator has a background as a carer and understands the needs of the residents and is continually looking for new and interesting things for them to enjoy – some of the regular activities include:

Tea Dances – Pottery – Quizzes – Arts and Crafts – Flower Arranging – Pat Dog Visits –

Seasonal Events – Exercise Classes – Regular Music Events – Visits to the local Golf Club

Many of our residents have had pets and gain a lot from our regular Pat Dog Visits as well as visiting organisations such as Miller’s Ark, Zoo Lab and Birdworld that visit the home and bring an array of interesting animals for the residents to enjoy.

Regular Music Events are enjoyed by the residents with an entertainer who provides warmth, humour, stories, music and the opportunity for residents to dance.

Visiting, well behaved pets are welcome.
