About
Westgreen House is a 46-bed home in the village of Kingswood, close to Wotton-under-Edge in Gloucestershire. The operator took it on in 2020, and a refurbishment programme is under way, with new facilities already being introduced. Residents have their own generously sized rooms and a range of communal spaces for time with family and friends. Extensive mature gardens surround the home, and local shops are nearby.
Meals are served three times a day. A chef works with the care team to suit individual care plans and preferences, and alternatives can be arranged on request. A dedicated Activities Coordinator encourages residents to continue the hobbies they enjoy and introduces tailored new interests. The Care Quality Commission rates the home Requires Improvement overall (2022 report), with Caring rated Good and the other four key questions rated Requires Improvement.
