Meet The Manager
Jackie Bray is General Manager at Westvale House.
Thank you for taking the time to look further into what Westvale House has to offer to you or your loved one. Here is an opportunity to look at some of our staff team in the home, who all play a vital role in day-to-day life. I have worked for the healthcare sector for many years and bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the home.
Quality of care that all my residents receive is my passion and I aim to ensure that all the residents in my care receive the best and most person centred care possible.
Westvale House is a high quality, purpose-built care home that provides residential and nursing care for older people in need of support. Alongside this, we also offer care for younger people with physical disabilities. Care at Westvale is delivered by our highly skilled and attentive team who are focussed on providing person-centred care in a warm and friendly environment.
The high standards of care at Westvale House are reflected across all aspects of life within the home, including our food, hospitality and through our extensive activities programme. Our chefs are committed to providing nutritious and tasty dishes, while our full-time Activities Coordinator ensures there is a variety of activities and events, all built around the likes and interests of those we support.
Westvale House is ideally situated within the Sankey Valley Park area of Cheshire, around 3 miles from Warrington town centre. We believe the best way to decide about the quality of our nursing home is to visit it for yourself, so please feel free to pop in or arrange a visit. We look forward to seeing you!
