About Westwood House

Westwood House is a nursing home in Lewisham, south London, caring for people who need qualified nursing support as part of daily life. Our nursing team is here throughout the day and night, which means people can stay somewhere familiar as their needs change rather than moving on again. We support older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people with a physical disability. The clinical side of our work is carefully done, but what people notice first is usually something simpler. Whether staff know them, whether meals are worth looking forward to, whether the place feels calm, whether they are asked before things are done to them. We pay attention to all of that. Being in London means family and friends can often visit easily, and we make that as straightforward as we can. Visitors are part of what keeps someone anchored, not an interruption to the routine. We also offer respite care, giving family carers a planned break or supporting someone who needs a period of recovery after time in hospital. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We work closely with local health professionals and with relatives, and we would rather flag a concern early than explain it afterwards. If you would like to visit, please get in touch.
