Review went very satisfactory - my wife (the client) and I (husband) have been very pleased with all the staff visited on care and punctuality. I told a staff member I had passed a Westmorland brochure to another potential client, who has since been visited by an Westmorland employee. The family were
very pleased with what they had heard and read.

We have found all dealings with this company in regards to my Dad's care very efficient, friendly and helpful. He especially finds one carer in particular has a good sense of humour plus two other staff members in particular show plenty of initiative in helping around the house. Their visits perk the
day up for him and help my Mum's domestic load. All the staff are lovely people who are happy to be looking after Dad. The office staff are very responsive too and look to sort out problems even going as far as contacting pharmacies to help sort out meds. Thanks guys. We all really appreciate you.

Very happy with all aspects of Westmorland's care, from the office staff who are helpful and nothing is too much trouble. The carers have all been matched to my father and mother's needs and we have a wonderful team of carers - they do excellent care and are always cheerful and respect both my parents'
needs. We have no concerns with any aspect of Westmorland's care and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Thank you to everyone at Westmorland.

We have had Westmorland Homecare support for just under 3 years and in that time Mum has received excellent care and support and has never been let down. 100% reliability and as a family we fully trust Westmorland Care. It is hard to allow carers in to look after a relative, but we need not have worried.
Mum enjoys the visits from her carers and sees them as friends. Thank you Westmorland Homecare.

My neighbour/friend has been using Westmorland since 2019. As my friend's health deteriorated, I saw the carers more regularly, doing different things like taking her out. Previously, she had been doing things independently but was unable. The carers were so friendly; my friend enjoyed her time out
with them. They arranged birthday parties for her and all the carers attended. I even got asked to go. She went to social events, and the impact it had on my friend was incredible. She had no local family, the only people she got to see were myself and the carers. She couldn't wait for their visits. I have put this review on because you hear many bad stories about care. I have heard many from other friends, but the ladies here always seemed cheerful and happy to help. One even assisted me in taking some shopping into my house. My friend sadly passed away at the age of 100, and all the carers attended her funeral, which I thought was such a lovely touch. They sure gave her something to smile about in her last years.

I am very pleased with the service I receive from Westmorland Homecare. The Health Care assistants are always helpful and friendly, in fact, I regard them more as friends than carers. They never allow their own problems to encroach on their attention to clients. Occasionally, unforeseen circumstances
mean last-minute changes but they always deal with this calmly and efficiently. The staff are excellent in their efforts to ensure clients receive the carers they prefer and are most familiar with - not always an easy task. Yes, I am most satisfied.

Very professional and reliable. They regularly review Mum's care plan with the family and ensure it is followed by the carers. On each visit, my mum is treated with respect, she doesn't have mental capacity so it is important her carers are people we trust supported by a competent management team.

I know mum is in safe hands which is reassuring as I can't be with her all the time. She is treated with kindness and respect always. She feels safe in their company. Being especially supportive as my mum's dementia progresses. I'm very happy with the carriers, support care and administration staff.
Thank you.

The staff have been so wonderful with both Mum and Dad. The manager has been very helpful and all the staff I have spoken to have been great. The carers visit three times a day and provide the assistance needed for personal care and other domestic needs. Any requests or changes to the routine are quickly
implemented. The regular reviews help to ensure that all my parent's requirements are accommodated. I would recommend the company to anyone requiring care at home.

I have MS and Westmorland have been looking after me for nearly the last five years now. The care I've received has been amazing. The carers are always are of any changes in my personal care and there seems to be excellent communication between them regarding such things. The company does its best to
provide the same small team for me and the times that suit me. The carers are all so lovely and become friends. My husband and I are very grateful for such high standards.

Although over a short term, I was extremely impressed with your preparation and ability to put into place and execute a care package for my elderly parents. We have unfortunately had to place them in a care home for their safety. I found that all the carers who attended to my parents treated my parents
with dignity and in a cheerful manner. Many thanks to you all.

Westmorland Homecare provides excellent care for our elderly mother. The carers constantly go the extra mile with Mum and it is clear that their role is much more than just a job. Nothing is too much trouble and care is delivered in a respectful, good-natured and humorous way, which is just what Mum
wants. They are all fantastic. Mum's package is constantly reviewed and updated to ensure it is specific for her ever-changing needs and this, together with the carer's professionalism provides our family with the assurance that Mum is in good hands.

Job Title: Care Manager

Joined: 2019

When I started my journey with Westmorland Homecare I was new to care and it was something I had never done before. However, I quickly settled into my role as an HCA and loved my day-to-day duties, loved seeing all my regular clients and helping them stay independent.


After 12 months of being with Westmorland, I was offered a Senior position and my favourite duty was mentoring and guiding new HCAs. I loved this opportunity because it is really rewarding and there’s nothing better than seeing their confidence grow just like mine did.


After 18 months I found out I had been shortlisted for an award at the Great British Care Awards for ‘Newcomer to care’! Needless to say, this was a huge surprise!


I am over the moon to have been promoted to Care manager leading our very special team.

Job Title: Care Coordinator - Recruitment and Social Media Engagement

Joined: 2020

I have always been passionate about Health and Social care since being in high school where I did my work placement in a Care Home looking after people with dementia. I loved the aspect of making a positive difference to people and always trying to enhance their lives, reflecting on this I then decided to go to college and study my Level 3 in Health & Social Care. During my education, I had the pleasure of completing a work placement at the hospital looking after the elderly and in a care home.


Post College I then completed 100 hours of work placement combined working as a student nurse at Clifton hospital giving rehabilitation to patients enabling them to safely get back to living at home and at the day surgery unit at Blackpool Victoria Hospital. Doing work placement and working in lots of different environments allowed me to work alongside lots of different people and gain lots of experience and confidence.


I have worked full time in a Care Home with Dementia residents and this opened my eyes to how much great, person-centred care can impact the individuals lives and their families too. It made me want to be the best carer I could be and give them the best quality of life. I then moved on to Domiciliary care and eventually found my way to Westmorland homecare as a carer. I have loved every minute of working for this company and loved building relationships with the clients and treating them as if they were my family.


I am now a Recruitment Coordinator for the company, and I want to do everything I can to recruit the best carers to ensure the clients are getting the best care possible, whilst ensuring the carers receive all the support they need. I look forward to chatting with you.
