Woodlands Park Care Centre

My husband has been at Woodlands Park Care Home for nearly two years, in that time he has always been happy, very clean and treated with dignity. His needs are changing dramatically but the care given is wonderful, he is fed nutritious thickened food and his carers are gentle with him. He never smells and he looks very clean and in his own clothes. The staff have coped well during the Covid outbreak, we could FaceTime him. When we could visit again we were given the necessary masks, visors, gloves and aprons. There is always something going on for the residents, they have an excellent activity program, decorations most weeks to celebrate public holidays. I cannot praise the staff enough for the care of their residents and the care I have had too in times when I need a shoulder to lean on.

I and all the family and friends are so grateful and appreciative of all you at Woodlands Park have done for us and her, looking after Mum these last ten or so years. Everything we could hope for with Mum's care has been there and more and so many caring people working there had made the sadness and concern of Mum's condition so much easier to deal with. We will all be forever appreciative of all you have done thank you.

Dad has only just moved into Woodlands Park but from the initial home visit assessment to his transition into the home and to contact with the wonderful staff. Since he moved in our family experience has been amazing.

My mother has been at Woodlands for over a year now, and my experience has been only positive. The staff are excellent, very caring and are committed to the care of the residents. They really are like a family and always happy to address any questions or concerns I may have. I am so glad we chose Woodlands Park for my mother.

I have always been impressed with the care and concern shown to each resident. I have known Woodlands for many years but following the care taken for my sister in law (who I have known for over 60 years) who suddenly needed expert care, was exemplary. As a family, we are so grateful.

On the occasions I have visited my relative when it has been possible, I have found him to look well cared for in every aspect regarding his appearance, where he sleeps and eats. I know they do a lot of entertaining; the patients seem to enjoy. Even in lockdown, I have been told they are still carrying on with activities. The staff are always very pleasant to me and very informative on how he is eating etc. The house itself is situated on a hillside and so lovely to see farming land.

During the Covid crisis they have surpassed themselves. I imagine many of the staff feel scared for their own health and that of their loved ones, but they never show this. Quite the reverse, they are cheerful and positive and focused on what they can do to keep us in touch with our loved ones. They call us regularly with our dad on facetime so that we don't lose touch. They have done all they could do, it seems to us, to minimise the impact of the few cases they sadly have had. Well done all.

I would just like to say that when my father-in-law was at his own home it was a very stressful time for the family. When he was taken to the Woodlands it was hard at first to adjust for him especially. But as time went by my father-in-law settled down and was very happy in his new environment. I am very happy knowing that he is safe and well looked after and cared for. With the present situation (COVID19) I can't stress enough how I appreciate what the amazing members of staff have done and continue doing not just for my father-in-law but for all residents. The fact that I know they are all giving the care and attention they need and most importantly giving the love and comfort I can't give at this time. I have been in contact regularly and the staff have always been brilliant. They have all put their own lives as well as their families at risk to look after the residents. I can't imagine how hard it's been and still is for them all. I thank them all so much for everything they do.

Should I need to go in to care Woodlands wood be my first choice.

The care that my mother has received from Woodlands Park has always been second to none but they have risen in my estimation with how brilliantly they have managed throughout the COVID-19 crisis. I cannot thank them enough, particularly as I have not been able to see my mother, but rest assured that she is in safe hands.

My aunt has been a resident at Woodlands Park Care Centre for over two years, and the effect of this excellent, caring, highly-professional environment has had on her has been transformational. Apart from the beauty and elegance of the house and its surroundings, it is obvious that the management and staff genuinely care about the residents and their welfare, and have created a warm, friendly and stimulating community that clearly has a very positive impact on the residents' sense of emotional security. At the time I write this, the UK is still in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, and yet the thorough and professional standards that are evident at Woodlands Park have ensured that no resident has been lost to the virus, and that almost all have been protected from infection, which is an outstanding achievement. My aunt is very well looked-after, and it is a great relief to me to see how happy she is when I visit her. I wholeheartedly recommend this outstanding establishment.

My father's time was short at Woodlands Park but the staff were very supportive during his time there. They treated him with dignity and respect.

During the ten months or so that my dear husband has been at Woodlands, I can only express complimentary things to say. Without exception, every person connected with this care home has been so very kind and caring, fun-loving and always cheerful in their daily care. Alzheimer's is a difficult illness but my husband was always shown great patience and understanding. In a nutshell, all staff at Woodlands are pretty remarkable people and myself and family send our sincere good wishes to each and every one.

Well run, happy care home. Residents treated with dignity and very caring staff and management. Activities for residents with varying abilities are excellent. Excellent meals provided with choice. Highly recommend.

Woodlands Park has a very relaxed manner. Its staff are reliable, kind and caring and hence my mother is very happy here. I cannot recommend it more highly. Everyone works very hard to maintain a good standard of environment and relationships with the residents.

A brilliant facility with highly committed staff - demonstrating expert care, patience and understanding, not just with the residents, but also the relatives.

Everyone is t4reated like family, the staff are absolutely brilliant, the food is lovely, and all activities are so good. The management are brilliant with staff and older people also visitors, they make you feel so welcome. I personally would recommend this place to everyone.

My views are focused on the care and safety provided.

Staff at Woodlands Park always have time for us as well as giving kind and patient care to my sister. The schedule of activities always stimulated and encourage my sister and made her very happy. Sadly, illness took her last week but her final days were not alone as staff attended her and comforted her in all ways, constantly - even putting Christmas decorations in her room as she knew she might not be better by then. My sister was cared for with kindness and love as well as staff being expertly professional until the end.

My brother is well looked after by all the staff and is happy.
