Care Homes Owned by Wood Care Group

Going through a really difficult time we had to find care for our lovely dad. The staff and care we had from Riverside was so kind and helped me and my sister so much. It took a lot of stress from us knowing he is so looked after and cared for by lovely staff. We know he is so safe and settled. We cant thank all of you enough.

I am highly delighted with the facilities provided by the Riverside Care Home. My wife has fitted in well and we both think that the staff and management at the home are second to none. There is nothing to much trouble for the staff, The food and choices of food are marvellous, I cannot recommend the home enough. I am highly delighted with the choice I made

KAY - DAUGHTER My mum has been in Riverside since December 2024 she's always clean & tidy with her hair styled every week in the 'salon' which she loves. Mum always comments that the food is very good. All in all although it took some time, mum seems settled and happy. Its a relief for the family to know that she is well cared for

Work is still ongoing and the staff are working extremely hard to deliver the vision for the benefit of their residents.

Saw the manager and she never offered any condolences no compassion at all

When visiting today, the communal toilet was covered in faeces. My grandmother's sheet had dried faeces and food on it. Despite clear requests not to switch her personal mini fridge off it had been switched off yet again. She currently has a chest infection yet her bed had not been raised adequately to aid easier breathing

Good care given to Mum, always kept up to date with progress & health. Staff are all very friendly & loving towards mum & are always helpful. Lots of activities/events and entertainment are provided to residents and families are encouraged to attend & also to give their opinions regarding any improvement etc. (Activities are excellent, just awaiting a replacement employee).

Mum is happy and well looked after. She has lots to do with a great activity team. Staff are amazing 10/10. Food is plentiful, but sometimes she doesn't know what it is, as likes plain food. We as a family cannot praise all the staff more.

Best thing we could have done for my mum was to make Field View Care Home the place for her to live in. She is happy and well taken care of. The staff go above and beyond. She is always clean and dressed well. Her bedroom is spotless. 10/10 from me.

My experience for my sister has been 'transforming' for her and us. The care and support has allowed her to grow in confidence and communication with others residents. The support staff are excellent. Her personal and medical needs are met with dignity and care. Administered with kindness which has had a remarkable effect on her sense of wellbeing. Her weight and health has improved greatly. Due to the meal and drinks served. The facilities are excellent to assist her with her independence she has, knowing she has help at hand when needed too. Safety is paramount she and I know she safe. She joins in activities and is making friends with others and members of staff. I find this care home gives value for money. Her room is always clean, neat and tidy. Her clothes always ready clean, above and beyond care. Thank you to management and staff who go the extra mile to make her life, happier and healthier.

We have found Dad much improved in his short stay and he has said he wants to remain here.

Peter's mental well-being has improved 100% since admission. The staff are very supportive and cannot be faulted for their care of him.

Chapel View is a lovely care home, the staff are very welcoming, the home is lovely and clean never too much trouble for the cleaners. The meals are very appetising. Nothing ever too much for the management always there to help when needed. Activities good always something going on in the home. Would like to thank everyone at Chapel View for what they do for my mum.

Staff are so helpful and will go above and beyond. The cleanliness of Chapel View Care Home is second to none - the domestic team is excellent. The home is welcoming, and the new decor is beautiful. The manager, Gemma, is open, friendly, and truly cares about her residents and staff. In my opinion, one of the best care homes in Barnsley.

I literally wouldn't have her anywhere else.

Lovely, friendly staff. Plenty of activities. Lovely food, snacks, drinks. My mother is happy and making friends and gaining weight.

Since my grandad has moved into riverside ive seen a massive improvement in his health. I cant thank the staff at riverside enough they are absolutely brilliant! So caring and extremely kind!

Thankyou !

As a family we struggled when mum went into care but Abbey village and the staff have been great . It's tough seeing your loved one in a home but the staff have been lovely and the senior team are open and honest and encourage feedback on anything we are not happy with my mum has been there 6 months and has been offered lots of entertainment and is supported well . The staff make the difference here , person centred care is well practiced and the home do all they can to ensure my mum is looked after please ensure the team are recognised for the efforts they apply

Mum and Dad has been at The Fountains for over 12 months and has benefited from the care from the team. Mum and Dad has become involved in daily life and the activities at The Fountains and is happy and very well cared for - which we couldn't ask for more.

From day 1, Mum needed a significant amount of care. Mum was provided with a comfortable, safe and welcoming environment where she feels safe and listened to. The managers have been excellent with listening and supporting us. A social worker told us that Mum was fit to go home when clearly everyone else could see that she wasn't. The managers called for a GP review, and 2 days after the social worker's visit, the GP put mum on a My Care Plan for end of life. I feel the staff, especially the managers hsave gone above and beyond for us, to get mum the level of care that she needs.
