About Westwood House
Westwood House provides residential, nursing and dementia care through Barchester Healthcare’s personalised care model. The home supports older people with differing care needs, including people requiring 24-hour nursing or assistance with daily living.
Barchester’s approach centres on understanding each resident as an individual, with support tailored to personal needs, interests and routines. Meals use locally sourced meat and vegetables, prepared and cooked on the premises, while residents can enjoy seasonal dishes and modified textures where required. Residential, nursing and dementia care form the supported care offer, alongside respite and independent living services across the wider group.

Questions families ask
How much does Westwood House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Westwood House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Lewisham council paid on average £1,263 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Westwood House whether it takes residents funded by Lewisham council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). In a nursing home the NHS also pays £267.68 a week towards the nursing care of residents assessed as needing it. People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
