What this means for your family
While some families report positive experiences with the therapy team, the frequency of reports regarding neglect and understaffing is concerning. We strongly recommend conducting an unannounced visit and specifically observing the response time for call lights and the cleanliness of the resident rooms before making a decision.

98 reviews on Google“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.”
