Review of
Woodgreen Nursing Home

Overall Experience

This is a beautiful home. It's clean, welcoming and a lovely environment. Mom gets wonderful care, all of her needs are met and she is encouraged to take part in the wealth of activities on offer. The home works closely with social workers and third parties involved in mom's care which makes life easier.
The

home also meets the needs of my family. There are no restrictions to visiting (apart from being sensible) which means I can always visit when it suits me. This is something I really appreciate. The space and environment is calm, I love the pub! My son who has autism wants to visit where he has found this difficult previously. He is able to engage with mom and they enjoy spending time with each other. The manager and his team are approachable and make you feel that you are the only one that matters. I have peace of mind and love that when I come, all I have to do is spend quality time with mom. Fabulous!

Overall Experience

It has taken me a while to write this review because words seem quite small in comparison to the fantastic care, compassion, love and friendship that is given in this wonderful home by the Woodgreen Team. I say team because they are, every staff member goes the extra mile. They know what is needed

and it's done before you realise it. Mum made Woodgreen her home in 2018 when dementia took hold and she was no longer safe in her own home, until she passed away in January. The wonderful team became her extended family full of care, compassion, understanding and love. When mum became confined to bed she was never left out, if she couldn't get to the activity, it came to her. I don't live locally and the trust I had in the Manager and his team was endless. When mum's time came to say goodbye the same care, compassion and love was shown to us. I can say hand on heart and from experience that if you choose Woodgreen as a home for your loved one or friend you really can't go wrong.

Reply from Adam Toomer-Smith, Care Home Manager at Woodgreen Nursing Home

Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt review. Your words truly capture the dedication and compassion of the staff here at Woodgreen Nursing Home, and it's wonderful to hear how you considered us as an extended family for both you and your mum. The personalised attention and understanding shown, especially during such challenging times, speak volumes about our commitment to residents and their families. Your trust in us is a testament to the quality of care we provide. Thank you for recommending Woodgreen so highly; your experience will surely help others in making an important decision for their loved ones.

Overall Experience

My stepmom was only a resident for 2 weeks before she passed away on 16/4/25. I so wish she could have been in this lovely care home for much longer or could have agreed to go in there earlier to enjoy her final years. I cannot fault anything; every member of staff went above and beyond. Everything

I asked for was given without delay. My stepmom was very well cared for with respect and dignity before and after she passed. It's so nice to see that this home has everything.

Our Mum moved here in November from another care home which we had many issues with.
Oh, how I wish we had done it sooner!
The level of care is exemplary and it's very obvious that the Manager is very proud of her team and that this is a happy place for both staff and residents alike.
Really could

not find a fault and highly recommend.

Netherwood Residential Care Home
from Tara P (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 January 2025

Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Netherwood is just incredible. We moved my Mum here after a horrific experience at a previous care home so we were understandably very worried.
From our initial phone call we were listened to, reassured and the care for Mum was exceptional. Everyone knew Mum and took the time to chat to her and get

to know her. She was always clean and extremely well cared for.
They got my Mum laughing, smiling and walking again, which we didn't think we would ever see.
Sadly we lost Mum recently but Netherwood were so kind and she was treated with dignity and respect. They also ensured we had everything we needed as well.
I just wish we had moved Mum sooner.
Thank you to everyone, you are all amazing and made Mums last few weeks so happy.

Overall Experience

Mom came to The Willows approximately six months ago. Initially, due to Mom's Alzheimer's, it was upsetting but the team made Mom and us, her family, feel confident that she was safe, healthy, engaged and treated with respect. The daily activities, outings and events are really good and engaging. The

staff are always happy to discuss Mom's care and any concerns we may have. All of the team have a very good cohesive way in caring for their charges. Thank you.

Overall Experience

I have limited experience of care homes as my brother has been a resident for a short time, this however includes being in two homes. Firstly emergency respite care for two weeks and then to the home where he has been a resident now for five months. Comparing the two homes I am much happier with the

care he is receiving at The Willows as the staff engage with individual activities as well as sharing group activities. He seems more settled and happy. The staff are always welcoming and helpful. The Willows has a very homely atmosphere where the care for the residents and their wellbeing is apparent.

Overall Experience

As my brother has only been in two care homes I cannot compare others. Having said that I am much happier with the care and staff at The Willows. He was previously in a care home in Stafford for two weeks respite care and I was not impressed with the place or the care he received there. Whilst at The

Willows my brother does seem happier and the staff generally do seem to care for the residents. The Willows feels very homely unlike the care home where he had his respite care.

My Mother has been a resident for 12 months and is really happy and settled there. The staff are excellent and the management are always available and swift to respond to questions or issues. Regular trips out and about to the local shops and facilities are provided as well as in-house entertainment.

The atmosphere is relaxed but professional and I certainly feel that all staff see Mom as an individual and provide her with a high level of care.

Overall Experience

Woodgreen Nursing Home has been excellent in every way for our mom's care. The management has gone above and beyond to make our mom's passing, peaceful and comfortable. The nurses and carers are 'the best' they have loved and cared for our mom as we would. Mom was always clean, fed, washed, showered

and more. Mom was always being entertained and sat in front of the TV, and the windows as we asked. I cannot express how grateful we are for all their help and support during Mom's passing.

Reply from Adam Toomer-Smith, Care Home Manager at Woodgreen Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind review Diane. We appreciate that this is a difficult time for you all and would again like to express our condolences to you all at this time. You all will always be part of the Woodgreen Family, keep in touch. Kind regards to all.

My dad has been a resident at The Willows since March of this year.
He is very settled there and is very well looked after by all of the staff.
I cannot find a negative thing to say about The Willows.
Staff are very kind and attentive to all of the residents.
And communications are good between

the care home and myself.
Food is very good and they have plenty to eat, three good meals a day plus snacks.
There is always water or squash available for them and plenty of hot drinks provided during the day.
Rooms are lovely and comfortable and very homely.
There are always plenty of fun activities.
Staff take residents out regularly to the shops and there is a nice garden space for residents to sit in when weather is good.
All of my dad's medications are taken care of so I don't have to worry about that either.
There is also a visiting chiropodist and hairdresser too.
I would recommend The Willows to anyone that is looking for a safe caring residential home for their loved ones.

My mom has been at Woodgreen for 6 years with dementia. The care at Woodgreen Nursing Home is excellent from management, carers, nurses, kitchen staff and domestic, they have respected my mom throughout these 6 years especially these last two weeks, as a big family there was no problem of us staying

there with our mom made us feel so comfortable, fed us which was fantastic. Again, would like to say a big thank you to the manager and his team for everything.
