I had a chance to visit Westwood many times. It looks good, but from the outside it looks more like a hospital than an assisted living. The nurse station is glass enclosed, not open. They’re busy; they're all working and are not overly friendly. They don’t have the time to stop and be pleasant. They need to be more patient-oriented. The rooms were just plain ordinary rooms with two windows. They have a bathroom -- just an ordinary bathroom nothing particularly special. The beds were regular hospital beds with a call light. I did see people in an activity room, but these people looked to me to be very, very sick, and there wasn’t a great deal of activity going on.
Everything could be decorated a little differently. It could be more of a bedroom setting, a special chair for company, and a more comfortable chair. It could have brighter bedspreads in different rooms instead of everybody being the same color. Everything needs to be dusted every day, and the garbage needs to be emptied at the end of every shift. First of all, it makes the patient better because the rooms are tidy. It makes visitors feel better because it’s not so cluttered. They need fresh water every shift, and patients need to be encouraged to drink.

My mother was at Westwood Center before she passed. It's a part of Genesis Care, and it's for rehabilitation and nursing. It's in Bluefield, and they were really good with her. They found that she had spleen and liver cancer that was super aggressive. They were really attentive to her there. Everything was really convenient. The rooms were easy to find, and they were nice and clean. They have a barbershop, a beauty salon, a sunroom, and a cafeteria. The food was catered for each person and whatever they required. The facility was very secure and nice.

This facility has very few bad things going on with it. All of the staff is very caring and helpful. They are very prompt in assisting their tenants with any reasonable request they may have. The food was always served warm, and tasty. They gave different menu options catered to the different people's diets as directed by a doctor. Westwood had a many different activities for their residents such as, Bingo, Movie Nights, Bridge Nights, and other different board games. The only bad thing that I have to say about this place is there seemed to be a lot of outbreaks of contagious diseases. Such as one time the whole place was locked down because a lot of the residents were contracting the flu, although everything seemed very clean and sanitary. Good overall Nursing home in my opinion.
