Woodlands Care Home

The staff are very dedicated and worked tirelessly to keep all residents safe. Nothing is too much trouble.

I would not hesitate to recommend Woodlands should anybody ask for my advice.

Woodlands is an extremely caring home who care about all their residents. All the staff are kind and attentive to the needs of the residents in all they do. There are always activities arranged for the residents to partake in.

Our family cannot fault the care our mum receives at Woodlands. The staff are always welcoming to visitors and show respect and warmth to all the residents. We are kept informed by newsletter of mum's forthcoming social activities and, prior to the pandemic, encouraged to join in with as many as we can. We have nothing but admiration for the way the management and staff coped during lockdown, going above and beyond to ensure that every resident was kept safe and well.

Small friendly home; staff friendly and caring know each resident's needs and life ensuring inclusion in activities and daily life. Lots of varied days of activities, singing, games. Privacy and dignity maintained, likes and dislikes respected. Care of relatives excellent too, plenty of cups of tea, is a big family!

All the staff, without exception,, are welcoming, caring and warm. My mother was welcomed into the home in November 2016. She suffered with Alzheimer's and needed caring, secure accommodation and this care home was able to give this to my Mum. They were excellent in keeping me informed on her health and I could see that she was settled and happy to stay there. My Mum died 2 months ago and the support we were given was second to none. They made us feel like we were part of a big family. Thank you. I will continue to visit the home.

We are all made very welcome whenever we visit, which is any time we wish, although we do try to call when it is not meal time.

If I ever need the same type of care, I would have no hesitation in going to the Woodlands.

Now going to 'club' is her favourite topic.

Woodlands has a lovely atmosphere and family feel to it. Being a smaller care home has been great for my mum as she had begun to get distressed in large groups of people.

Lovely home, very friendly staff nothing is too much trouble and the staff look after me too giving me cups of tea and support when I need it. My wife is settled and happy and enjoys the activities and likes to walk around the garden.

Open visiting is good and I can pop in anytime. It is a very good home.

Woodlands Care Home Ltd was chosen for my friend who has advanced Alzheimer's because of its homely environment so unlike many of the rather cold faceless care I have visited.

The staff are excellent, seeming genuinely to care for their residents. The food is superb home-cooked and delicious.

The garden with its sheltered seating area provides a change of scenery for residents and visitors alike.

It is a home from home with a beautiful garden/sitting area and nutritious home-cooked meals.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
