We have just had a review meeting which was comprehensive and highlighted how woodlands care staff put the residents foremost in their thoughts. Our family are over the moon with mum's care and would recommend any one looking for a happy, caring home for their loved ones to consider Woodlands.

My mother has been a resident for 6 weeks now, and from the start she has been cared for really well. All of the staff have been so kind in helping her to settle in and involve her with activities that she really enjoys. She has made friends very quickly amongst the residents and the staff.

Overall Experience

This is a lovely, homely, and well-maintained care home surrounded by beautiful gardens. The staff are so welcoming and the management of the home is excellent. My Mum has advanced dementia, but she seems content, is very well cared for, and enjoys her food! She clearly likes the staff, who work hard

to make her feel comfortable and included. I really appreciate the relatives' meetings to keep us informed, and an excellent training session run by the Activities Manager to better understand dementia. I love the way that Saxonwood encourages other groups from the Battle community to engage with the residents - such as a very enjoyable intergenerational art session with local playgroup, primary and secondary school children held recently. Communal areas have recently been redecorated to a high standard, and the layout of the bright, comfortable lounge thoughtfully redesigned to facilitate a range of activities, rest and conversation. I am very happy that Mum is living at Saxonwood.

Reply from Lizzie Gurr, Marketing & Communications Officer at Saxonwood

Thank you for your 5* review of Saxonwood, it's brilliant to hear your positive feedback and that your Mum enjoys the company and care of our fantastic staff team. Community connections are important to us, and we're pleased you enjoyed our most recent event. Thank you for your positive feedback about the new furniture and decorations in the lounge. It seems everyone is enjoying this space!

Overall Experience

I would like to say that during my visit staff were very kind, attentive, friendly and engaging at all times, with all Residents as well as us. The surroundings are comfortable, very clean ( but there was one toilet without a light functioning that could have been marked as out of action, rather than

allow Residents to get halfway in before we discovered this!) We were told the maintenance person was off this week, and were waiting for their return. Staff were very warm and friendly with us, ensuring we had drinks being a very hot day as well as the Residents, and when we asked for support with our family member were available immediately ( Thank you Gill) and interacted with dignity and respect, gaining consent at all times. It was a great shame that afternoon tea did not come with the same lovely treats as our relative is gluten free, just a dry old biscuit and no choice with that, it was all that was on offer. Other Residents had a choice of homemade cakes, so sad to see.

Reply from Lizzie Gurr, Marketing & Communications Officer at Oakwood Court

Thank you for your review . We're pleased to hear you found our staff to be kind, attentive, and respectful to everyone. Your kind words about the warmth and professionalism of our team, especially Gill, mean a great deal and will certainly be shared with them. We apologise for the inconvenience caused by the light not working in the toilet. Our team hadn't been made aware of this fault at the time of your visit, and so fixed the problem soon after it was reported. Your feedback about the gluten-free refreshment is important to us. We're sorry that on this occasion there wasn't a gluten free cake available. We cater for a variety of dietary requirements and usually have cakes for everyone, we will improve this going forward. Thank you again for your thoughtful and constructive feedback. We hope to welcome you again soon.

Overall Experience

My mother( who has been a resident in Saxonwood for almost thirteen years) recently celebrated her 100th birthday. I had originally booked a local restaurant for a gathering of family and friends, but the venue cancelled this a week later. As it transpired, this was highly fortuitous, because the team

at Saxonwood stepped in and accommodated us all.
The level of service and quality of food were beyond what we would have otherwise received and the care and attention lavished upon us all was incomparable.
Every member of staff, whatever their role, made everyone feel so welcome, for which I am eternally grateful.
Special thanks to chef and her brigade!

Reply from Lizzie Gurr, Marketing & Communications Officer at Saxonwood

Thank you for your wonderful 5* review. It was a delight to host your Mother's 100th birthday and our staff team and residents enjoyed celebrating with her and all of your family. We sang, we danced, we ate and we raised a glass! We're pleased you all had a wonderful time and made memories together on a very special day.

Overall Experience

A lovely sunny and warm weekend in the lounge, visiting Saturday afternoon and Sunday Morning, he was quite relaxed and content. The afternoon visit was more laid back, chatting a little with the resident, then several of the others and one other visitor. Things picked up with tea and dinner, so I left

to go and cook mine. Sunday ... and he was deep in the observer... and a hot chocolate. The county life and history magazines were welcomed but more important matters no dust prevailed! It was time for lunch and he was hungry and so was I a little peckish, so away to cook my own lunch after a good visit.

Mum has been with Oakwood Court since July 2023. (She has now moved on due to extra nursing needs.) During her time with Aokwood, she was always treated with kindness, patience, dignity and respect by all of the wonderful team there. Nothing is too much trouble and things are dealt with expeditiously.

Communication is consistently clear and all staff are approachable. Knowing she was so well looked after gave me peace of mind. Thank you to all at Oakwood!

Overall Experience

Mum was with Oakwood for 5 years. She struggled to settle due to her Alzheimer's/dementia and the home was so supportive during that time. We found the staff to be friendly and caring throughout. As Mum's dementia progressed I felt reassured that she was being well cared for. The home was always spotless

and light and airy and most importantly full of life. We sat by Mum's bedside for many hours in her final 9 days and were so impressed with the care and dignity shown to Mum and also for us. Nothing was too much trouble and if you have to make the difficult decision of care for your loved one. I would not hesitate to recommend Oakwood. Thank you!

Overall Experience

At 91 years old our mother recently came to the decision that she could no longer carry on living independently. She wanted more help and above all companionship. Having visited a few care homes, the moment she walked into Oakwood Court she knew this was where she wanted to be. From the outset everyone

involved couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating and have gone out of their way to help ensure a stress free transition. Nothing has been too much trouble. Her needs and wishes are sought and acted upon by everyone and Steve, the wonderful handyman, has done all he can to ensure her room is as cosy, comfortable and homely as can be. We were also impressed with how a recent medical situation was dealt with quickly and efficiently. What we her daughters always imagined would be a difficult time, has proved anything but. In just a few weeks, our mother has settled in, is happy and feels very safe and secure in her new home. Maybe the delicious food she enjoys plays a part too.

Reply from Lizzie Gurr, Marketing & Communications Officer at Oakwood Court

Thank you for your review. We're so pleased that moving your mum to Oakwood Court has been a more positive experience than you firstly imagined moving to a care home would be like, and that our brilliant team have helped her to feel at home and settle in well. We understand how stressful and anxious finding a care home can be and we strive yo do everything we can to help make the process easier. We hope you continue to get peace of mind and enjoy visiting your Mum.

My Mother is a resident of Woodlands Care Home. I visit often with my wife. The care home is good in all care, activities, and safety/security and satisfactory in all other areas. It seems well managed and the staff are fine. I would like to see more care staff and perhaps more individual choices of

food.

Reply from Lizzie Gurr, Marketing and Communications Officer at Woodlands

Thank you for your review and feedback. It's great you visit regularly with our open visiting hours, and that you think our care, activities, safety and management is good. We have noted areas where you are not as satisfied and as a result our Chef Manager has met with your Mother to discuss choices of food to make sure she's happy - we know how important meal times are. We have also arranged to meet you to hear your feedback and further discuss your points. Thank you for taking the time to review us.

Mum had been at Woodlands since February 2020 and was well cared for despite being a little bit fussy. Nothing was too much trouble for the care staff. In September she became unwell and didn't want to go to hospital. She passed away at Woodlands under the care of the capable and lovely staff. Myself

and my sister were glad that her wishes were listened to and we were grateful for the care that she received. She left this world in a peaceful place. Thank you all.
