Woodgreen Nursing Home
from Dianne H (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My parents have both been residents at Wood Green Nursing home. My mom's been living in there for just over three years and my dad had a short stay a few months ago due to being on end of life. I can't fault the amazing care they provide not only to my parents but all residents. All staff are so compassionate,

caring and supportive. They have a good knowledge of my mom's dementia and understand her individual needs. While my dad was on end of life the care was second to none. Constantly checking in on him to ensuring all his needs were met and supporting me through this difficult time. I would not have got through this difficult time without the support from the amazing staff. I will never be able to thank them enough. Wood Green Nursing home is not just a care home it's a real home to all the residents and their families. Thank you so much for everything you do.

The care staff are very helpful and pleasant with my mom and she feels quite comfortable with the care staff and she is well cared for .she can get nervous and anxious about small things but they help her to get about and talk with other residents and they have taken her out of the home and she feels

more relaxed and comfortable and her medication is taken care of so I feel safe knowing she is been taken care of and her needs are being taken care of she is very much aware of her surroundings

Woodgreen Nursing Home
from J A (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

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!

Woodgreen Nursing Home
from J L (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

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.

Review of
Woodgreen Nursing Home
from L S (Stepdaughter of Resident) published on 6 May 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

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.

Overall Experience

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.

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.

The Willows
from Jacqueline G (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 September 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

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.

from J W (Sister of Resident) published on 29 August 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

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.
