When you want the best of care and rest for yourself, a loved one or a friend

Westwood House Residential Home is situated in the picturesque market town of Ashby de la Zouch.  This splendid house is a Victorian 3-storey building set within an acre of land.  We have our own secluded gardens to the front, side and rear of the property and ample parking for visitors.

The Home is conveniently placed within a short stroll of Ashby town centre, which ../includes a wide variety of restaurants, bars and shops. The town has a medieval castle, museum and many other attractions, making it a popular town to visit.

The service we provide

Westwood is a really first class Home, where dedicated, highly motivated staff are committed to maintaining excellent care.  We take enormous pride in welcoming you to Westwood where our skilled team of staff are in tune with the varying daily needs of each of our residents.
 
Our aim is to ensure that all our residents are able to receive the highest standards of care in a homely environment. Westwood House appreciates the intrinsic value of people and we respect each of our resident’s uniqueness and varying personal needs, to ensure maximum comfort, well being and happiness.

We provide lots of enjoyment and even more essentially, lots of tender loving care.

Amenities

The range of accommodation consists mainly of single rooms, but there are companion rooms for those wishing to share. Residents are encouraged to bring their own possessions and furniture to make their room as homely as possible.

The Home normally accommodates residents on a long term basis, although some residents may be accepted for short term respite stays.

Throughout the whole of Westwood House, the co-ordination of colours in furnishings, carpets and fabrics helps to create a very pleasant ambiance. There are two large, welcoming lounges and a dining room with a seating area.

Entertainment

There is plenty to do to keep mind and body active. We have a keyboard in one of our lounges which the residents and their visitors enjoy playing and having a sing-along to.

Our staff are always delighted to help with the continuance of residents’ hobbies or with the learning of new ones and the staff happily play games and arrange activities with the residents in the afternoons.

We now enjoy regular visits from the Fozel theatre company, a monthly accordion player and many other events are arranged for the enjoyment of our residents.

Meals

Our experienced staff offer a wide variety of nutritionally balanced quality home cooked meals. We display our menus in advance and cater for all types of dietary needs. Meals are a leisurely experience so that our residents can eat at their own individual pace.

Breakfast is an individual daily choice, our residents can order anything from a glass of juice to a cooked breakfast and it is offered from the earliest time of rising to the latest.
