Westfield House (Care) Ltd
Financial health, per its FY2023 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported an operating deficit of £232,091 and a total comprehensive loss of £412,134 for the year ended 31 March 2023, driven by high vacancy rates, interest costs, and agency staff fees. While total reserves stand at £3,522,554, the unrestricted funds are negative £1,744,432 after accounting for designated funds for property investments and repairs. The trustees highlight a material uncertainty regarding going concern due to an 'Inadequate' CQC rating which suspends new admissions, though they remain confident in future surpluses as occupancy improves.
What the accounts disclose
“The level of reserves remains high in order for the Society to guarantee the level of care they can provide to residents in the future. The Society will continue to maintain a sufficient level of reserves to enable it to meet any unforeseen events.” — page 6
“We draw attention to the section related to going concern in note 2 of the financial statements which indicates that in order to continue to operate, and operate at the occupancy levels that make that financially possible, the charitable company needs to implement improvements and recommendations arising from recent inspections and pass follow up inspections. As stated in note 2, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in note 2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern.” — page 9
