Woodside Lodge is a warm, friendly and welcoming care home. The management and staff have a real understanding of dementia. They treat the residents with care, love and empathy. My Mum has been here for 19 months and even though she can be very stubborn & often difficult to manage the staff have...

My mother (89-years) arrived at Woodside in mid-May 2020 in the middle of COVID lockdown. She was an Alzheimer’s sufferer who was no longer able to stay in her own home. I brought her down from Glasgow after a long search for a suitable home. As I couldn’t visit, I selected Woodside Lodge after a...
My mother put on weight whilst at Woodside, which is a testament to the standard of the food. Her general demeanour improved no end. She loved the music man, who visited every Friday throughout the year.
The general care and thoughtfulness of the staff are exceptional, and nothing is too much trouble. I witnessed many little hugs and calming strokes from carers when I visited and was waiting for my mum in the pod. These little things mean so much to so many.
She recently passed away with great dignity, and the medical support was exactly as the family requested.
Mum was very much part of the family at Woodside Lodge and will always be in our hearts.
Best wishes.
Thank you for looking after our Step-Mum so well. We have been so confident in her care and security throughout these difficult times. Although we live so far away, we know that you will look after her and keep her safe.

Thank you for your lovely review. We really appreciate your feedback.
Although we were not local, we knew Woodside Lodge as had a family friend who was a resident here, so had visited him. When our dad got to the stage of needing 24-hour care for dementia, my sister and I decided to move him to Woodside Lodge, as we had been very impressed by what we had seen from...
The welcome that family get when visiting is wonderful and the care for both our dad and us during the last week of his life was outstanding. I still like to pay a visit when in the area.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Julie. While I was not the manager for the full length of your father's stay I was very honoured to join the team in the final years before his passing. Dad will forever hold a place in our hearts and we very much enjoy seeing you when you visit. Best wishes, Charlotte.

My mum had severe dementia and lived at Woodside Lodge for nearly four years. It is a small home run by a manager who is very approachable and kind and a very dedicated, kind and extremely caring and hard-working team of carers and other staff members. The carers understand the individual needs of each resident and there is continuity of care with very little need for agency carers. The carers have all worked there for a long time and the positive attitude of all the staff make it a happy home. There is always a warm welcome for visitors. There are plenty of activities and music and a lovely hairdresser. The food is very tasty and my mum really enjoyed her meals. The home and bedrooms are very clean and it smells lovely. The gardens are well used too, thanks to the carers always going that extra mile. The home is supported by excellent doctors and district nurses and all the staff are very well trained.
Thank you for your lovely words and review, Jan. Mum was very much a part of the family and will always be in our hearts. Best wishes, Charlotte.

My mother has been living here since February 2020. She needed more help as she was becoming increasingly confused and has memory had problems. From the very start, the staff at the home worked at gaining her trust and got her onside with their friendly positive manner. They let her settle in at her own pace at what was a very confusing time for her. The home is not modern but is well maintained and suits her needs. It does not have an institutional feel which I found many newer homes seem to have. I have been impressed with all the staff who seem to work as a team and enjoy interacting with the residents; she often sits and chats to them. My mum is not always an easy person to please but she enjoys the food and activities. Even when she gets up in the middle of the night and wants a snack it is not an issue. It appears that the home works well with other agencies such as the local doctors, district nurses and mental health team and the manager ensures the staff are well trained.
Thank you for your lovely review, Paul. We really appreciate your feedback. Best wishes, Charlotte.
We were lucky enough to find Woodside Lodge care home for my mother, following previous poor experiences where my mother's needs could not be met. From the first meeting with the management and team of Woodside Lodge we felt the home offered the level of care and compassion my mother needed. Since...
In the last week of Mum's life they treated her with dignity and respect, they took time not only to look after her care but also time sitting talking to her as we were not able to be there due to the current situation.
Thank you for your lovely review Tony. Mum was very much our family and she will be greatly missed. Best wishes. Charlotte and everyone at Woodside Lodge.

My mother was a resident at Woodside Lodge for almost 18 months until her recent passing in November 2019. During her time at the home, she was cared for with the highest standards possible. She received continual loving care from all the staff without exception, right up until the end. I cannot state highly enough how helpful everyone was during this very difficult time for our family. I would recommend Woodside Lodge to anyone that has relatives or friends that are in need of care. I cannot overstate the excellence of care and service of this care home.
Mum was a wonderful, kind-hearted lady and she will be greatly missed by all of us at Woodside Lodge.

She died in July this year and the care in her last week of life was exceptional. The carers would play her favourite music, hold her hand and give her the care of a loving family member 24/7.
My mother had a character larger than life and was always laughing and joking. The carers laughed and joked with her as well as giving her all the necessary other care with efficiency and sensitivity.
We cannot recommend the home more highly.
Mum will be greatly missed by all at Woodside Lodge and will forever hold a place in our hearts.
The whole team at Woodside Lodge are wonderful, nothing is too much trouble and to see Mum cared for as well as she is at Woodside is a gift. I know she is loved and cared for as if she were at home. I cannot thank the lovely team enough.

He had already been in the catering world prior to Woodside Lodge and had a positive understanding of what it means to deliver good, delicious quality food.
