84 Long Lane, Ickenham, Middleex, Uxbridge UB10 8SX
Woodlands Residential Care Home is located in Ickenham just off the A40/M40/M25 and a short distance from local shops and transport links.
Woodlands Residential Care Home provides dementia, respite and day care in a comfortable and secure environment.
Staff at Woodlands are professionally trained to give quality care to residents who are unwell and also encourage independence and activity in all residents.
Residents have access to spacious communal areas and a large garden to relax in during the summer weather. Residents also have the opportunity to participate in a range of activities both in and outside of the home, including visits out into the local community.
The Day Care Centre is open to the general public, but is also used by residents within the care home. This works extremely well as it gives a whole different dimension to the way care staff stimulate and deliver activities in the care home daily.
This facility is available for families who are not quite ready for a permanent residential placement, but to be used on a daily basis to give a respite care.
The centre is a very warm and modern, safe environment. Designated activity coordinators and carers ensure that the experience is caring and interactive and stimulating for the prospective user.

* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 9.5 (maximum of 10) for Woodlands Care Home Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Woodlands Care Home Ltd in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 4 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.773 for Woodlands Care Home Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (102 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.773
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Woodlands Care Home Ltd is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 3.75
Target of 3.8 positive Reviews (19 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 4 Reviews ÷ 3.8 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Woodlands Care Home Ltd has a Review Score of 9.5 (9.523) from 11 Reviews

Mum went into Woodlands Care Home from hospital after a fall in her own home. At first, it was for respite care but seeing mum settling in and being looked after so well and above all - happy, meant that I made it permanent. For the next few months, she joined in with activities provided to stimulate her and lost her sense of loneliness. At the end, staff could not do enough for her, encouraging her to eat and drink and keeping her comfortable to the end.
Thank you Woodlands.

A wonderful, caring place to stay, everyone is treated as a friend and made to feel part of the community. There is plenty to do during the week as the activities keep everybody happy and engaged. My dad has made positive improvements since coming here, which he hadn't in a previous care home.

Unfortunately, my father only got to spend 3 weeks at Woodlands Care Home before he passed away. From the moment he arrived, he was welcomed in a most caring and understanding manner. The staff went out of their way to get to know him and our family in a friendly, warm and welcoming way. He particularly enjoyed the food and also embraced relationships that staff quickly formed with him. As a family, we could visit at any time and the atmosphere at Woodlands would always be calm and caring. There was also lots of fun and laughter encouraged, especially during staff-led activities. We thank Woodlands for making the last 3 weeks of Dad's life so happy and comfortable for him.

The woodlands manager and staff made every effort to ensure my father settled in. They also provided my family and I with genuine, caring support. We could not be happier with the personal care and attention provided by this care home. We visit regularly and it is clear that the residents are relaxed and well cared for. The staff are amazing they care for their residents as if they were their own family members. Evidence by the very enjoyable garden party in April.

My aunt came to the home from hospital. She was very unsteady on her feet and unable to do anything for herself. There was a remarkable change in the 3 months she stayed there. They were fantastic. Now she is back home and doing everything for herself. This could not have happened without them.

I thought I would find it difficult placing my mum in a care home for a week, but Woodlands made it easy. She felt so at home that she did not worry when we left. The staff were extremely good at making sure she was occupied, which she enjoyed, but they also made sure that she was cared for in the evenings which is when she would get confused. In future, I would be very happy for her to go there for respite but also, if I needed for her to go to a care home full time, this would be the one I would choose. 5 stars to the manager and all his staff. Thank you.

When my husband and I visited the home for my mother they were very welcoming, we were given a lot of time by the deputy manager to tell my mother's history and immediate needs. The dept manager was rung the next day and she visited my mum in the hospital and accepted her. The hospital were going to move my mum a further distance from me- her main carer. They are a very caring and loving care home who give time to talk to them if I have any problems regarding my mum.

My mum is 94 and suffering from dementia, when she was living at home on her own she had carers three times a day but she was not eating properly and her health was deteriorating. She has been in Woodlands Care Home for about a year and we can see a big improvement in her health and her confidence. The staff encourage her to eat and be positive and also encourage her to be mobile, she does not seem so nervous now. The staff look after her very well, and as a family, we are very pleased that we have chosen the Woodlands Care Home.

A family business with the benefit of having only 19 rooms. There is a very welcoming atmosphere where nothing is too much trouble. The manager and staff are well connected, the manager having experienced the care home environment for many years due to his family connection. Without exception, the staff show caring, conscientious, hard work as well as empathy with the residents and great team communication. Staff are professional and follow procedures in place, but also display initiative and are always on the lookout for ways to improve the resident's day. This is a place people want to be. Rooms, food choices, activities and amenities are all to a high standard. I have no hesitation in recommending Woodlands care home for elderly and dementia care.

My mother came into Woodlands care home in 2015. The home is really good, the staff are all very nice and caring. The home is always clean and the residents are also kept very clean and tidy. The manager is very good and extremely helpful. I cannot fault it all and would recommend to anybody. Food also very good and you can come and go whenever you want to visit.

My 97 year old mother has been a resident for two years. All the carers are very devoted, caring and sensitive to mums needs. They manage to get her up wash and dress her everyday, which isn't easy, and she always seems happy with all the staff. Sometimes night staff doesn't dress her well or mess her hair do by combing her hair flat. I regret there isn't any where quiet I can take my mum when I visit as she's very deaf, there is always a TV on, and our conversations are therefore public. They do however provide wonderful entertainment when a relative plays the piano to them.
