  • 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.

The home is very homely and caring. They are really dedicated to the patients and see to all their needs. My mum celebrated her 100th Birthday and was really happy. I would recommend this to anyone.

We are always made very welcome when visiting my father. The staff are always willing to discuss my Dad's condition/behavior etc. The staff are conscientious in all their work and were very happy with the care he is getting.

Mum has been here for 9 months and she is much safer with care and support all day rather than on few visits from carers which is what we had before. Mum is generally happy but likes to stay in her room - not sure why but likely it's her condition, she was always so sociable before.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.786)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.786) out of 10 for Woodland Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.786 for Woodland Court is calculated as follows: ( (319 Excellents x 5) + (80 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 402 Ratings = 4.786

  • b) 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 34 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 34 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
