The care home is warm and welcoming. Staff seen were very kind and friendly, taking good care of their residents. They knew their residents and treated them with respect. My sister has thrived, gaining weight and is far more aware of everything. She seems content.

Dad was very anxious going in to the home for his week stay, but the patience and reassurance of all the staff meant that he had relaxed and settled within 2 days. We were so pleased to see on the social media pages where he had joined in joint activities and was clearly enjoying himself. When I saw him towards the end of the week, he was relaxed and smiling, with no reluctance at all to stay for a second week, due to circumstances changing. Normally this sort of abrupt change would have filled him with anxiety and confusion, but this didn't happen at all, which is all down to the staff and how they worked with him. I previously worked in care as a manager and NVQ assessor and I can honestly say that the dignity, respect, patience and care that the staff I met showed, is easily at the level I would have expected from the people I assessed at the end of their course. A massive thank you to everyone at Woodlands Park

The decor is lovely throughout the shared areas and bedrooms.
There is space if a resident wants quiet time or wants company.
The staff are all really friendly and interact well with the residents. There are always smiles from both staff and residents.
The manager has taken time to talk through all the ins and outs, has been really supportive during this difficult transition time, and is great at providing honest updates on the resident.
The food offer is good with plenty of choices.
Activities are provided and with the setting the care home is in it is great that the outdoor space is used.
There is security on all doors so there can be no wandering outside unaccompanied.
I am very happy with Woodlands Park and the care being provided.
My mother is very well cared for at Woodlands Park and I appreciate the regular updates on her health. The staff are wonderful and do an amazing job. The recent redecorating has made the environment much better and building feels much lighter and modern.

I am so grateful for the outstanding care my mother has received at this care home. The staff have been consistently kind, attentive, and respectful, creating an atmosphere where she feels safe and valued. Marie, the care home manager, has been truly wonderful. Her professionalism and compassion have made a real difference to our family. Even when funding ended after the sale of her bungalow, the team continued to support her with the same dedication. I can't thank them enough for the stability and dignity they've provided. It means the world to me.

Honestly, we couldn't be happier with the care my fiancée's grandmother has received since moving into the care home. From day one, the staff have been incredibly caring, attentive and genuinely thoughtful in everything they do. We've seen a massive and really positive difference in her health and overall wellbeing, which has been amazing to see. It's a huge relief knowing she's somewhere safe, warm, and well looked after. We'd absolutely recommend this place to anyone thinking about a care home for someone they love.

My sister has settled in really well at Woodlands Care Home. She is being extremely well cared for by the very kind, caring staff. Communication is excellent. I receive regular updates on her health and well-being, which is so important to me as I do not live locally. When visiting the care home, there is always a warm welcome in a relaxed, homely atmosphere. There are plenty of activities which include music and singing, and occasional days out for those who are able to attend. I am extremely pleased with the exceptional service and care my sister receives at Woodlands.

I would not hesitate to recommend this wonderful care home to anyone looking for a kind, nurturing environment for their loved one. After a nasty fall at home, we contacted Woodlands Park for urgent respite care. Following a visit arranged within half an hour of my call, my Mother-in-Law decided that the home had a lovely feel to it and she would be happy to stay there. Despite it being late in the day, the staff pulled out all the stops to allow her to move in straight away. I will always be extremely grateful for the concern and kindness shown during what was a very difficult time for us. When she had a serious medical episode soon after arriving, which may not have raised concerns elsewhere, they knew her so well that they immediately called for an ambulance and almost certainly saved her life. From being critically ill in hospital, since returning she has improved beyond all expectation, undoubtedly due to the care she has received. I would recommend them wholeheartedly.
I went to visit my friend's nan over Christmas who I am very close with. It was so lovely to see how much confidence and how happy she is since moving into the care home. The staff are so friendly and you can see how much love and care goes into their work.

The staff at Woodlands are warm, welcoming and always so kind. They provide the highest standard of care and we have every confidence in them. Couldn't recommend them more and it's also a lovely, clean environment.

As you can imagine, the decision to put my wife into a care home was one of the hardest I've ever had to make but it's safe to say that choosing Woodlands Park has totally put my mind at ease as I've seen the progress she has made due to the wonderful care and compassion the staff have shown her -...

My mum has now been a resident at Woodlands Park for three and a half years. They have taken great care of her during that time and, as her condition has progressed, have adapted their support to her increasing needs. They have recently obtained a special chair for her which ensures her comfort and...
The feeling at Woodlands Park is one of love and care in a real home setting and we wouldn't want Mum to be anywhere else.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Woodlands Park to anyone who is looking for a home away from home for a relative. It's never easy making the decision to place a loved one in a home but the carers and staff at Woodlands have helped make the transition for our mum a great experience. The kindness and compassion shown to the residents and their families is second to none. I live in America so knowing that my mum is being taken care of so well, treated like family and helped to rediscover a quality of life gives me so much peace of mind. My sister and father are able to visit whenever they want, and tea and cake are always offered - it's like our father's second home! You really can't ask for better than that .

My nanny has recently moved to Woodlands Park and the staff have been so welcoming and caring. Sadly my nan has deteriorated quickly but knowing she is in this home gives me some sort of comfort as everyone is so caring, especially with a (slightly) tricky resident.. They have worked tirelessly to build up my nans strength to the point where she can now spend her days downstairs mingling with the other people living there and enjoy the activities that are put on and even have her nails painted in her favourite colour. Thank you to all the staff at Woodlands for all that you do.

The management and all the staff at woodlands care home go above and beyond to make sure my mum is comfortable safe and happy. It's not an easy job, not only to give my mother exceptional care but also for the rest of the residents. Just looking around and you see that all the residents are clean happy and comfortable. They have also been such a big emotional support for my entire family. All the staff are brilliant but an extra special shout out to The manager Marie, Lara, Mandi and the house keeper Gina. They never fail to put a smile on my face making visiting my mother a more pleasurable experience.
I cannot recommend Woodlands Park highly enough - right from when they assessed my mum to her now living there, they have made us feel like part of their family. So compassionate and caring- not just to my mum but to all of us who visit but especially my dad who now feels like it's his second home....

So compassionate and caring- not just to my mum but to all of us who visit but especially my dad who now feels like it's his second home. The decision to put mum into a care home was not an easy one but we have definitely, 100%, made the right choice with Woodlands Park. Thank you to all the staff, residents and Kiki the cat for welcoming us with open arms and hearts

I am a long term friend/companion of a resident at Woodlands Park. After a bad fall earlier this year my friend's family chose this care centre for some respite care for her. While she was there she had a medical emergency to which the staff responded with total professionalism, calmness and great care. My friend then became a permanent resident and is very happy here. She is very well looked after and enjoys some of the many activities offered here and is full of praise for the staff. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming whenever I visit and I love that they call me by my first name. The care centre is in a beautiful setting and has a lovely homely feel. Care and safety of the residents is paramount. My friend's family made an excellent decision when they chose Woodlands Park.
Just wanted to say that I had a wonderful visit to my sister today ( with my niece). Because it was 11/11 there was a short service with a visiting preacher and choir and a trumpeter to play the last post and reveille and all who attended seemed very moved by it all and it was obvious by her...
Just wanted to say that I had a wonderful visit to my sister today ( with my niece). Because it was 11/11 there was a short service with a visiting preacher and choir and a trumpeter to play the last post and reveille and all who attended seemed very moved by it all and it was obvious by her behaviour that my sister loved it. Actually every time I visit,I feel Woodlands sort of puts a warm hug around all the residents and envelopes them with care and kindness and also welcomes visitors so that there are always smiles and gentleness and generosity to give a wonderful atmosphere. It is very reassuring that my sister is living happily and peacefully. Thank you.

My mother has been a resident here for nearly two years and me and my sisters (and Mum if she could say it) could not be happier. This is her second care home and although we were very happy with the first one, Woodlands has transformed her. One expects that with dementia the best you can hope for is contentment but I really do think that Mum is happy. The setting here is lovely with excellent views across the valley where Mum has lived for the last 60 years. The staff are all so friendly and clearly are very fond of Mum which is so warming to see. It is a converted old country house with a rambling feel which I am sure is partly why Mum feels so at home.
