Located in Forest Gate with easy public transport and road access, we provide 24-hour residential and nursing care for people living with dementia in our dedicated Memory Lane Community as well as care for people living with physical disabilities. Situated in beautiful, well-tended gardens which enable residents to enjoy the outdoors in a picturesque setting, Westgate House is a purpose-built care home with its own parking facility.

Hugo Gomes Ruela
Hi, my name is Hugo, and I am the General Manager here at Westgate House. Welcome to our website!
I qualified as a nurse in Portugal and developed a diverse clinical background, namely in intensive care.
Upon moving to the UK in 2015, I developed a true passion for palliative care and obtaining great outcomes in difficult situations.
My management career started in 2017, having experience in both residential and nursing settings.
I am delighted to work with the residents, their families and staff here at Westgate House.
My door is always open to discuss the care we provide so please drop in for a cup of tea.
