Having worked in various homes myself I wanted the best for my mother and Westfield is the best in the Goole area. The care given is exceptional and they have qualities well beyond what is expected. Relatives are always made welcome and informed by telephone when their relative is not well to keep them up to date. I would recommend this home gladly to anyone interested.

Both my parents are in Westfield Park, and the care they receive is first class. I cannot praise it enough. The staff are all great and its like one big happy family.
- Stephanie Beevers - Daughter of Mr and Mrs Robinson - 28/06/12

We are very happy with the care my father receives in the comfortable and spacious environment at Westfield Park. The care is first class and the staff are very professional, helpful and friendly and do their very best to accommodate the needs of my father and the residents and we cannot thank them enough!
- The Davidsons - Family of Ron Davidson - 14/05/2012

A happy, clean and welcoming home. The food and care of loved ones is excellent. Activities and entertainment are to suit everyone with newsletters for residents and families to keep up to date. A helpful manager who cares for the residents welfare and only the best will do for all of them. One big happy family, a great place to live when life in your own home becomes difficult. Westfield is a home from home.
- Pat Knaggs - Daughter of Annie Speed - 03/05/2012

It is always a difficult time when a loved one is no longer capable of looking after themselves. We chose Westfield and I have to say we are delighted with the level of professionalism and compassion we have seen during the first 3 months. Mandy and Penny in the dementia unit lead a team who seem totally dedicated to the residents in their care. Nothing is too much trouble. We would recommend Westfield to anybody in the Goole area.

As a trained nurse and lecturer my standards are very exacting and when I placed my father in this home it was after extensive searches and failed attempts elsewhere. My father is very well cared for, despite his very challenging behaviour and it is obvious to me that the staff like the man inside the cloak of Alzheimer’s. The fact that I have recently placed my Mother in the same care home speaks volumes.
- Gill Dixon - Daughter of Mr and Mrs Bainbridge - 19/04/2012

What a wonderful place! From the moment of arriving I realised I was going to be in capable caring hands. I feel safe and nothing is too much trouble.
- Barbara Barratt - Resident - 23/03/2012

I think Westfield Park is by far the best nursing home I have ever worked in, and it's a shame that it had to come at the end of my career. I had been striving for so many years to achieve and work at this level of care. It has been a real pleasure for me to be associated with such an excellent home and so many excellent staff. Thank you so much for everything, and good wishes to all the staff, residents and their families.

Since arrival to Westfield Park mum has greatly improved, from being bedridden to now being able to walk a few steps. She has put weight on and loves all the activities on offer. We are really happy she moved here!
- Pat Brooks - Daughter of Dorothy Franks - 31/01/2012

Your standards are high, the best I have seen in many similar circumstances and I would like to record some of your nursing home's credits which I think are worthy of comment.

1) Absolute Cleanliness
2) Cheerful and Thorough Staff
3) Wonderful Cooking and Food Variety
4) Comfortable Furnishings
5) Several Lounge Facilities
6) A Genuine Caring Motivation

I would not hesitate to recommend Westfield Park to anyone in need of your respite care.

Following a 'Fit as a Fiddle' training day by NAPA (National Association of Providers of Activities) on the daily activities that can be enjoyed by residents here is a summary report written by the trainer Julia Burton-Jones:

Residents chosen to participate in the day took part enthusiastically and expressed their views clearly. They set goals for themselves, with the help of their buddies, which can be added to their care plans and monitored. They readily endorsed the importance of activity and described the benefits they had drawn from taking part in the varied programme of activities offered. Julia encouraged them to support new residents, who may be reticent to join in. Positive examples were given, illustrating how the culture of care at Westfield Park supports health and independence:

• A resident who had lost confidence living in her own home spoke of how encouragement received from the care staff and activities organiser had enabled her to regain motivation and enjoyment in life. Others agreed;
• Residents spoke warmly about the meals at the home, one commenting on how he had regained his appetite because the food was so good;
• With the range of opportunities provided by the home, residents said there was little risk of them leading a sedentary lifestyle. They were encouraged to be active in the home and enjoyed helping staff and other residents, for example lending a hand at mealtimes or keeping their room clean and tidy.

Staff also reported positively on the home's ethos. They found the team dynamic friendly and positive and felt this gave shared goals and constructive energy in achieving the best for residents. They were proud of accomplishments with residents who came to the home very poorly and had been nurtured back to health.

It's hard to explain how it felt to place a parent in a care home - scary, sad, sorry... Many things. I want each and every one of you at Westfield Park to know that I sleep better, knowing my Dad is in such warm, caring, happy hands. He seems really settled. I am really grateful and don't take any of what you do for granted. Thank you!

I had a university placement at Westfield Park for my nurses degree at Hull University. The medical knowledge and professionalism of the nursing staff was excellent, and the care and support that the care team show the residents was equally impressive. Thankyou to everyone at Westfield Park for their support throughout my placement, which has given myself a fantastic grounding for a professional career.

Mum has alzheimers and moved into Westfield Park, 16 months ago. We researched every home in the area, very thoroughly before making a decision about the best place for Mum.Westfield Park was our first choice and favourite by a large margin. The home is lovely with fantastic facilities but its outstanding feature is the quality of care provided by the Staff. Nursing, caring, cleaning,catering and admin Staff all go the extra mile to make Mum feel valued and valuable. They know that she dotes on the dog,Lucy and so Lucy is welcome to visit everyday. They know that Mum loves music and dancing,and provide her with lots of opportunities to engage in activities that keep her active and stimulated. They know that Mum likes to feel useful so the cleaner allows her to help with the dusting. What makes Westfield Park so special is that Mum receives excellent, expert care for both her physical and emotional wellbeing.

Mum was in one other care home which we were not happy with, and when we heard about Westfield Park, we came to visit and have been very impressed throughout. All the staff are very caring and supportive, and mum has settled in very well. The meals are of a very high standard and are usually delicious. Even the cakes are really good – just as they would be if they were home baked, by a good baker! Really Very Good! The activities are very well planned and ensure the residents welfare is a high priority and their minds are stimulated as much as possible. We can now relax knowing that mum is in a very caring, happy environment!

I couldn't cope at home and I am very happy at Westfield Park. I think it is a very good home, the staff are friendly and I really enjoy the lunches. Westfield Park is spotless and my son-in-law, who is a GP, said this is one of the cleanest and best homes he has seen.
- Barbara Horner - Resident - 24/09/10

I came to Westfield Park because I fell and hurt my arm, so I came for some respite care whilst I recovered. I soon realised this is where I want to be, so I became a resident. I find the staff very helpful in everyway, the food is good and I am highly satisfied. I am very happy here and would be happy to remain here for the rest of my days.
- Fred Walton - Resident - 17/09/10

My husband, Gordon, was the first resident at Westfield Park in March 2009 and he requires a high level of care. Gordon has coped well and the main reason is the exceptional care and attention he receives at Westfield Park. I never expected the quality of life we would both have due to his disabilities, but it is simply the environment and the staff that make him, along with family and visitors, feel very welcome and comfortable. Westfield has a very homely feel about it, and makes you feel part of a happy family. The activities co-ordinator works hard to encourage both residents and visitors to participate in many different and enjoyable activities. We all have a laugh and some great times. I have no doubt that because of the dedicated nursing and loving care of the staff Westfield Park is the number one nursing home in the area.
