About Westwood

Westwood in Worksop provides both nursing and residential care for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia, people with a physical disability and those with sight or hearing loss. Offering the two together matters a great deal in practice. It means that when somebody's health changes and they begin to need nursing care, they do not have to leave the home they have settled in and start again somewhere unfamiliar. Registered nurses are on duty here at all hours for those who need them. Our care covers the everyday business of washing, dressing, moving about safely, medication and eating and drinking well, and the clinical side covers wound care, continence care and the monitoring of long term conditions. For people living with dementia we keep routines steady, keep familiar things around them and take the time to understand what somebody is telling us when words no longer serve. The home itself is meant to feel lived in. Rooms are personalised, meals are cooked here, visitors are welcome and there is company for those who want it. Respite and short stays can be arranged for families needing a break or people recovering after illness. If you would like to look round, please telephone us and we will fix a time.
