About Us

Westwood Residential Care Home is in Chorley, Lancashire. We support older people who need help with daily life and younger adults who need residential care, and we offer respite stays. We will put the inspection first because you should not have to hunt for it. The Care Quality Commission rated us requires improvement at our most recent inspection. We accepted the findings rather than argue with them. The work since has concentrated on what residents actually feel day to day, which is safe and accurate medication practice, consistent staffing so people are cared for by a team that knows them, and making sure a concern raised by a resident or a relative reaches a manager and gets a proper answer. Otherwise the home runs around the people in it. Residents choose when to get up, what to eat and how they spend their time, and rooms are furnished with their own belongings. We are careful not to take over things people can still manage themselves, because independence lost is hard to win back. Health needs are managed with local GPs and community nurses, and we contact families early when something changes. Please come and visit, ask us about the inspection directly and judge the home as it is now rather than as it was.
