Residential Care Seaford

We’re a small community where everyone knows and looks out for each other.

Westerleigh's comfortable 30 bed size means that all the staff know all the residents and all the residents know each other. There’s a genuine community feel to the place and this really helps our residents to enjoy life more, especially if they’ve previously lived alone for a number of years and have been unable to get out much.

It can be quite a revelation and many residents comment they wish they’d moved in much earlier!

The home has a familiar friendly style, just like their own home

Large corporate ‘Travel Lodge’ style homes may seem attractive to us, the younger generation, because we’re used to them.

However, for Mum or Dad they can seem like large, anonymous, intimidating, institutional style buildings that are a world away from what they’re used to.

They’re so big that you can’t get to know everyone and rattling down those long corridors to see those you do know can be a real chore.

They’ll feel much more at home with the cosy, comfortable, traditional feel of the rooms at Westerleigh where everything is easily accessible and you don’t need a walkie talkie just to hold a conversation across the living room.

We employ nice people. We don’t employ people to be nice

Your loved one needs to know, like and trust our staff members completely if they are to feel comfortable in letting them care for them - and so do we.

We have a stringent, in-depth recruitment procedure to ensure that only the most caring and understanding of individuals get to care for your loved one. They are selected not because they want a job, rather because caring for people is their vocation.

This is truly important and often over looked in larger homes where there is often a regular turnover of staff and high pressure to recruit a large workforce.

They’ll enjoy traditional home cooking & great fun activities

There’s always something fun and engaging for your loved one to get involved in at Westerleigh. We don’t need much of an excuse for a party and have had great fun hosting Wimbledon tennis days with lots of strawberries and cream and Derby days with everyone ‘betting’ on their own horse.

We pride ourselves on providing opportunities for friendship and helping our residents to regain their independence and enjoyment of life through providing daily activities that they used to like but have stopped doing recently. Things like bingo, quizzes and word search, dominoes, flower arranging, baking, arts and crafts, and singing and dancing.

Outside we have a patio area and beautiful garden where they can plant flowers and vegetables, enjoy nature and visiting wildlife, or simply sit and have a cup of tea, slice of cake and chat with newfound friends.

Then there’s the delicious mouth watering food which everyone looks forward to. Your loved one will be able to choose from varied menus and hearty local cuisine prepared by our chef.

So, at Westerleigh your loved one will continue to enjoy some of the most important things in life: friendship, fun and true home cooking at it’s best - the way it’s always been done!
