This home has been amazing for my mum. Unfortunately, she was diagnosed with Lewy bodies dementia in January 2022, and it came on so quickly and due to her challenging behaviour she was sectioned in April 2022. We then had to find a home for my mum as we knew she was never going to be able to return home.
We straight away understood that not many nursing homes would look after mum because of her complex needs and behaviour, but once we found Wood View we knew it was perfect for mum.
Yes, it doesn’t look like the most modern home, but it’s the care that is important.
The staff are wonderful and caring and really encouraging with mum to get her out of bed. She was really happy there, but unfortunately, her illness progressed very quickly and she was bedbound, she was admitted to the hospital where she, unfortunately, died a week later in October 2023.
My mum had nearly a year at Wood View and during that time I never worried about the care she was given, thank you so much.
