Care & Support

St Mary's and Sacred Hearts provide a Holy Communion service of the home on a monthly basis. Other religious visits can be arranges as appropriate or on request.

  • We encourage residents to personalise their rooms on admission. This can include keepsakes, mementoes and personal pieces of furniture, pictures etc.
  • Relatives and friends of the residents are encouraged to visit and there are no restrictions on visiting hours.
  • The manager keeps in regular contact with relatives and is always available to discuss any problems/concerns that may arise.
  • The home operates a "key worker" system. This means that all residents are allocated a member of staff who will assist them in buying small items that they may require such as toiletries etc.

Staff & Training

  • All of our staff at Westcroft are fully trained to carry out their respective duties.
  • There is a trained nurse (RGN) on duty at the nursing home 24 hours a day and they are backed up by a range of carers and domestic staff, who work different shifts during the day and night.
  • Trained staff (RGN's) regularly attend courses which are designed to keep their training up-to-date and carers are all offered the opportunity to gain their N.V.Q qualifications in care at either level 2, 3 or 4.

C.S.C.I

The home is inspected once a year by the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI). Prospective clients, residents and their relatives are encouraged to view inspection reports, which are available on the CSCI website.
