Care Homes Owned by Porthaven Care Homes in Buckinghamshire

I would highly recommend this care home.

Thank you

My mother was a resident in Woodlands Manor for five years. She was on the dementia unit. We cannot fault the care my mother received during these last years of her life. The staff were professional, very well trained, and exceptionally kind. The fact that many members of staff have worked at the care home for many years speaks volumes about the working environment. My mother was happy and settled in a supportive, caring environment. which is all a family needs. We cannot fault Woodlands Manor.

Also Keira has been a great support for me.

My husband has been a resident at Chiltern Grange for 3 months, for respite initially & now residential. Having seen a few other care homes Chiltern Grange stands out as being excellent. The care is so good & I feel my husband is well looked after & kept safe. We spend a lot of time in the lovely garden. Nothing is ever too much trouble with staff & management alike. Thank you to everyone

The organisers did a great job and my mother (and I) thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

My grandma moved into Woodland a few months ago and it has been so lovely. It's a big change moving her into the dementia ward, but all the staff are so wonderful, considerate, helpful and spread lots of joy! The food is fantastic and they have lots of good activities and opportunities for the wider community to be involved. It's a clean and beautiful site with a great garden for a cup of tea and a cake. They have been fabulous and their support has been very appreciated.

On Sunday, however, they held a bbq afternoon which was fabulous. Nothing was too much trouble and the food served was excellent. They went to a lot of trouble to make sure all tastes were catered for. Later, they had some dancers who were fabulous. It was an amazing afternoon and all the residents had a lovely time and were very well looked after. I would recommend this care home to anyone looking for an excellent place to care for their loved ones.

Every chance I have, I will be back visiting Elizabeth Garden.

Our father moved to Woodland Manor only 2 months ago. We experienced a wonderful living environment and were struck at first by the beautiful, well-thought-out architecture. Then we experienced your wonderful care team: Carmen, Roxie and the team who genuinely cared about Dad's experience of settling in. We are relieved and happy with the new set-up. The only feedback for improvement we have is for the food, very stodgy, not very healthy-looking or tasty to our palate. Also Dad complains of unsettling noise (food trolleys, scraping chairs, room doors) which would be easy to sort out to cater for sensitive ears. Many thanks to everyone in your organisation.

As soon as Mum came to EG as respite she was welcomed, she was very low in her mood & lonely after being on her own for many years. As she had to stay longer she decided to stay as her forever home. The staff are lovely, caring and go above their required job description. They have become Mums new family, Mum is happy, put on weight and has made friends. She knows everyone cares for her and it was the right choice

I cannot rate this place higher enough. My ratings shows this. Very well done.

Verry happy that this is mums home. The staff are so kind and mum genunely likes them and the other residents living in her part of the home. She enjoys the activites and Mags and Barbara are fantastic. Thank you!

my mother has only been here for 2 weeks, but honestly it has been amazing. She came in not looking herself and now looks 100% better Staff are lovely, and carmen has been so supportive.

My grandma was with Woodlands for her final 2.5 years. During those years, she was treated with such respect and dignity as was the family. Having previously been at a setting where we were checking on her daily it was a relief to have found somewhere we could trust and call her home. My grandma had advanced dementia but was treated no differently to anyone else and was inc on all outings and activities, when the time came they helped me to prepare and were so kind to me and my grandma, unfortunately my parents were away so the woodlands staff made sure I was not alone, I can't thank them enough for the support they gave us- Navigating through a dementia journey is exceptionally challenging but Woodlands were there to support us.

I cannot praise woodland manor enough for the compassionate and kind care they provide for my dad,

Thank you, Avondale. Veronica is very well cared for. My mum and I have enjoyed a very special and memorable afternoon today, listening to the superb and talented orchestra. We danced along to an Abba song and sang along with the Beatles and Frank Sinatra! Veronica smiled and laughed. What a joy. Thank you, everyone and to the team - you rock!

I came to visit my mum this afternoon, and she was sitting in her favourite place on the first floor balcony with a huge grin on her face. She had been listening to some music being played in the garden below, for BBQ afternoon. She said it was really lovely. My mum has dementia and is very challenging most of the time. It was lovely to find her so relaxed and really enjoying herself. As I missed the BBQ, Sabina very kindly got me some wraps and cake. Not only is my mum looked after really well, but so am I! It makes all the difference. The staff are always there to help and to listen, which is such a huge help. I don't feel alone.

I know the care sector very well. As I also have disabled children, where the care has been abysmal in care placements.

I have to say the staff have been very supportive of my mother's needs, always very welcoming.

It is very clean also, which shows the standard of care, smells nice and clean, lovely food options available, over and above and access to great activities, creating an inclusive atmosphere.

Aged 89, I have just returned home after a 9 week stay in Elizabeth Gardens following hospitalisation in Spain with a broken wrist. The thought of staying in a care home worried me, but being weak and temporarily disabled I felt I had no choice. In the event, the experience was most enjoyable and I felt sorry to leave. The staff were wonderful, and with facilities such as the gym I was able to work my way back to being fully independent again. Being a stickler for timekeeping, my only complaint is that meals were frequently delayed beyond the advertised time. However, the food when it did arrive was always good.
