Hello, my name is Yanique, and I am the General Manager here at Westwood House. Welcome to our website.
I have a wealth of experience having worked for both private and public health care providers. I strive for excellence and dedicate myself to ensure those who live here have the best quality of life possible. I am deeply passionate about bringing the absolute best out of everyone.
Westwood House is an amazing home with a great atmosphere and I am looking forward to continuing delivering the best care with my team for those we support in a friendly, warm and happy environment.
Please drop in for a coffee, a slice of home made cake. Learn more about our beautiful home and discuss various ways we can support your loved ones to enjoy safe and happy life in our care community. My door is always open.

My name is Liz and I am the lifestyle coordinator at Westwood House. I have always lived and worked in Southwark and Lambeth boroughs.
