Westwood Nursing Center has a middle-range Medicare overall rating. Strengths include friendly and welcoming reception staff. Some reviewers note concerns about severe understaffing leading to delayed response times for basic needs (mentioned by 6 reviewers). Review the health-inspection, staffing, and quality-measure components separately, then visit in person.
Westwood Nursing Center receives highly polarized feedback, with a significant divide between glowing five-star reviews and severe one-star reports of neglect. While some families praise the facility for being clean and having attentive staff, others report critical issues including poor hygiene, understaffing, and safety concerns regarding resident care. Potential families should be aware that the facility has undergone multiple management changes, which appears to be a recurring point of contention in the reviews.
