Review from Ninette S (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mum spent the last year of her life at Woodboro. The care, love and dedication of all the staff was outstanding. Nothing was ever too much for them and they always treated mum with respect and dignity. My sister and I had peace of mind 24/7 that mum was safe, loved and cared for.
This wonderful
team extended the same level of care, love and attention to both of us, which when mum was receiving end of life care, helped us both, so much in our time of grief. We felt like they were family and we cannot thank them enough.

I would like to thank the manager and her staff for looking after my mum for a short while. Unfortunately in life we all make mistakes and you have to live with them, me and my sister chose the first home for mum and it was the wrong one, definitely. I managed to get mum into Woodboro and felt so at
ease, I knew mum was being well cared for. The staff always answers the phone in a lovely manner and was extremely helpful to me. The staff always looked nice when opening the door smiling; these things put our mind at rest. I would highly recommend this home, just wish mum could have enjoyed more time there, we had so many plans for mum. My mum is at rest now, so thank you all once again for looking after my lovely mum.

Review from Melissa W (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 July 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The Woodboro have cared for my Dad for the last year. Dad was in another much larger care home previously and we are so pleased we moved him.
There is a real family atmosphere at the Woodboro. The staff are amazing and make the residents and their families feel part of the family. It is professionally
run, always clean and the staff treats the residents, their families, and each other with respect. The staff are hardworking, and nothing is too much trouble.
We feel blessed to have found the Woodboro and that my Dad could spend the last year of his life with the lovely people there.
Thank you.

My mum has been a resident in Woodboro for 14 months. The staff treat the residents with care, respect and dignity. Every attempt is constantly made to make my mum safe and comfortable. The staff also support my dad every time he visits which means the world. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff
or management - thank you to the Woodboro family for everything.

Review from Andy D (Son of Resident) published on 13 February 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were invited to choose a home by social care from a small selection. Woodboro was in a different league to its peers. We are treated like family by the team - across the board. We have immediate updates if there's an issue. The rooms are fresh, clean and newly appointed - apart from a fall sensor
issue; I would give it an excellent rating.
The sensor is moved or avoided by my father, but for his safety an alternative solution is necessary. Response to medical matters is excellent and the care over and above NHS is very good. We are grateful to the team for helping us care for dad.

My mother moved here 10 weeks ago and she has been looked after like I would do if she was living at home with myself.


All staff go the little extra out of their way to make you feel like one big family which helps the person in the home as well as yourself.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.144)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.144) out of 10 for Woodboro is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.917 for Woodboro is calculated as follows: ( (11 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.917
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.227 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Woodboro is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 = 3
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 22 registered maximum number of service users is 4.4. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.4 = 0.227
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
