  • Woodland Court, Fareham
Often described as a true home from home, Woodland Court offers residential, respite, dementia, and day care in a relaxed and friendly setting.

Situated on the edge of the bustling market town of Fareham – with Portchester Castle nearby – this charming three-storey home blends comfort with convenience. All bedrooms are modern, spacious, and en-suite, with two shared rooms available for couples or those who prefer a little extra company.

Residents can unwind in cosy lounges or the light-filled conservatory, while the garden becomes a favourite gathering spot in warmer weather – ideal for fresh air, sunshine, and relaxed conversation.

A varied programme of events and activities brings energy and enjoyment to daily life. From live music and visiting entertainers to mobile libraries, a tuck shop, and surprise visits from the local ice cream van, there’s always something to look forward to. Seasonal celebrations and awareness week events also play a big part in creating a strong sense of community.

Mealtimes are thoughtfully prepared, with fresh, locally sourced dishes served daily. Menus are designed to be full of flavour, nutritionally balanced, and responsive to individual dietary needs and preferences.

Review from Rick L (Son of Resident) published on 25 October 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Myself and my wife are so pleased with Mum's transition into her new home. When we say 'home' that is the most evident word. Mum has been in five-star homes and she has not received the care and support that she has received over the past few weeks. All care staff have been amazing, the manager brilliant
and we can't thank you enough.

The staff are friendly and they look after my Mum well. I know she is safe and cared for. Any problems are dealt with fairly quickly. I appreciate that there is a lot of laundry to cope with but sometimes items take a long time before reappearing in the wardrobe.

Excellent care home, my Mother has been so well looked after since she has been there. The carers are all so supportive, loving and attentive towards the residents, despite the challenges they may have to deal with at times; all done with a smile on their face.

My mum has blossomed since becoming a resident, much healthier in mind, body and spirit. Her sense of humour has returned and she knocks the spots off me when we do word games together!

I managed to get up to see my dad for the first time since he has been in the home as I do not live near him, I was well impressed with the staff, and how they are with the residents. They are great to family members, they are also great when I ring to speak to him. I have recently found their social
media page which is nice to see what my dad gets up to, I can leave comments and they do respond, I am not sure if they tell my dad my comments but it is great to see what they do with them. Please keep up the good work.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.779)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.779) out of 10 for Woodland Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.779 for Woodland Court is calculated as follows: ( (307 Excellents x 5) + (80 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 390 Ratings = 4.779
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Woodland Court is based on 33 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 33 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
