Westwood House Care Home in East Kilbride
We believe our nursing home is different to other care homes in East Kilbride. Westwood House has a wonderful family atmosphere. Many of our devoted team of care and nursing staff have been with us for 10, 15 and even 20 years.
We provide a high standard nursing care service, as well as palliative care and dementia care, including Alzheimer’s. And unlike many nursing homes in East Kilbride, we also offer respite care, short-term care breaks, to older people. These are perfect for caregivers looking after elderly relatives, who need a carer break of their own.
Life at our nursing home in East Kilbride
Our team enriches lives, we go above just offering nursing care. We provide our residents with meaningful, person-centred activities and experiences, to ensure they are happy and fulfilled.
Our gardens are glorious and south facing and are a real haven for birds. With raised planters, residents in wheelchairs or those with higher nursing care needs can help to maintain the beds. Our gardens have a nice seating area where we have fun with loved ones during summer get-togethers.
We have also enjoyed welcoming our local East Kilbride church groups to our care home. The groups perform services in the heart of our home, including Mass. A mobile hairdresser also visits Westwood House and other care homes in East Kilbride for regular appointments.
We've recently also refurbished Westwood House to a beautifully decorated residential care and nursing home in East Kilbride. There are now several spaces for residents to relax in or spend time with loved ones in, including the peaceful conservatory.
Wellbeing and activities at Westwood House
We are also dedicated to CAPA (Care about Physical Activity), a programme led by the Care Inspectorate. CAPA encourages people living in care and nursing homes to move little and often to increase wellbeing and mobility. Supporting our residents to keep moving, we have regular gentle exercise sessions. We also host baking and pampering sessions, and garden therapy to enhance wellbeing too.
Animal therapy is also popular in the care home. We often welcome miniature ponies, and they go into our residents’ bedrooms. We are passionate for those with increasing nursing care or physical disability needs do not miss out.
