My Mum became a Woodley Grange resident in March 2025. She has received the best of care from managing medication, everyday care, to excellent fresh food and laundry. The staff are excellent and welcoming and are building a good relationship with Mum and us. They run stimulating activities everyday
and have a lovely garden to sit in. Thank you to all staff at Woodley.

My husband has settled in well to Woodley Grange Care Home. He is well looked after by a caring staff and excellent management. Everything is clean, neat and tidy. Laundry services and food are first class.
Activities are appropriate for the residents' needs and regular outside entertainment is excellent.
He is happy, and so I am happy too.

The staff at Woodley Grange are professional, kind, and very experienced. They not only took excellent care of mum but also held our hands as her dementia progressed. After 2.5 years at Woodley Grange, Mum has just moved to a nursing home due to increasing care needs, but again the Woodley Grange team
supported us through this. A huge thank you to them all.

When we decided that my mom needed constant care, we contacted Woodley Grange as my mum liked the idea of living in the Romsey area, the support and care shown to my mum was exceptional, nothing was too much trouble, they have gone above and beyond with their care and empathy to us, understanding that
this was quite emotional for all of us. The entertainment partners really do make a fantastic effort with all their trips and ideas, it really does make it a home-from-home. Thank you Woodley.

Woodley Grange is a wonderful care home. All the staff are wonderful. Friendly, caring and professional. Dad is always telling his family how caring the staff are to him. Dad enjoys his meals at home, especially when the chef makes her delicious food. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone
for all they do for my lovely dad.

From the initial tour of Woodley Grange and positive information that reassured us that my mum would be in the best place for a respite stay. Mum was supported extremely well for settling in and supported in every way possible. Her daily visitors were made welcome. She enjoyed the meals and the room
has provided her with a pleasant sanctuary. Thank you to all the carers for all your kindness and all the managers for their reassuring support.
Reply from Loraine Tabbner, Manager at Woodley Grange

It was a pleasure having Mum stay with us at Woodley Grange and I am glad you were happy with all aspects of her care. We would always welcome Mum back and are here to support the family whenever you need us.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Your staff were all exceptional, helpful and kind. If I were to find fault it would be to remove dead flowers from vases. Food (sandwiches especially) could be presented more appetisingly. I noticed that when the chief cook did them they were and looked much more appetising! It was after my investigation,
I found out that it was the chief cook that had done them!
Thank you everybody, very comfortable stay.
Reply from Loraine Tabbner, Manager at Woodley Grange

Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments which will be useful as we aim to continuously improve our service.
I appreciate your feedback about the sandwiches, and can confirm that I have already discussed this at our kitchen staff meeting and involved the team in a discussion about how suppers (particularly sandwiches) can be presented in the most appealing way.
I have also spoken to the housekeeping team about making sure displays of live flowers are maintained properly to prolong their life.
I am very glad to hear that you found the staff helpful and kind. We work very hard to keep our residents and their needs at the centre of what we do, and I am proud of all of the staff here at Woodley.

Review from R M (Respite Resident) published on 9 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been a regular visitor to Woodley Grange care home in Romsey for two years - my mother-in-law has dementia. Never did I expect that one day I would end up as a temporary resident! I am in my late sixties and have had a hip operation that did not go as well as hoped - I was discharged from hospital
to Woodley for a week of care. The first thing that struck me is how nice the staff are to each other - it is quite normal here for staff to hug each other at the start and end of each shift. This is important as it permeates the culture here. Very small acts of kindness are very important as they are mundane and ordinary and happen all the time - a carer sits with a resident, holds her hand and listens to the same story told over and over again smiling, a temporary guest turns up at the front door for a respite stay and the staff exclaim " oh it's G" with obvious pleasure at seeing her.


Care, compassion and kindness define the ethos of Woodley Grange

Thank you so much for this very lovely feedback. it was a pleasure having you stay with us and so nice that you got to see the care from another prospective.

I love going to see Mum, she is so happy here, she's got a group of friends and they laugh, also the social media page is brilliant so when they do their activities or go out they put lovely pictures up so I can see what Mum is doing, all (most) of the time.
Staff are so friendly and lovely, it's a
lovely atmosphere. They are all wonderful.

All of the staff at Woodley Grange are without exception very caring, helpful and approachable which in my opinion is the most important element for the care home. My mother is very happy and content at Woodley Grange and often tells me so. I am totally happy and have complete peace of mind knowing
that my mother is in such good and caring hands.

My husband and I had to place my aunt in Woodley Grange a few months. We were really concerned about what the impact on her would be. We can’t thank the staff at the home enough for the care and compassion they’ve shown her. We have previous experience of care homes and can honestly say that Woodley
Grange is an outstanding home. Everything from the professionalism of the staff, the facilities, the cleanliness, etc. Really are first class.

From my very first visit to Woodley Grange, I have been really impressed with the lovely welcoming staff, the home itself and the gardens which are well-tended and a wonderful outdoor space for the residents. Over the years I have visited friends and family in various care homes and I can honestly say
that Woodly Grange surpasses them all. It has a happy home feel and the various activities arranged for the residents are superb. The latest is a small allotment space where residents chose what will be planted and help to tend the area. Should I need to live in a care home this lovely place will be my choice and my friends and family know this. In a nutshell, Woodley Grange is a very special place.

My mum moved into Woodley Grange two months ago and we have found everyone to be really friendly, professional and helpful. Having looked at a number of homes in the local area we really wanted Mam to be a resident which they arranged at really short notice. Someone is always willing to answer questions
and help Mam adjust to her new circumstances and surroundings. We definitely made the right choice.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.887)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.887) out of 10 for Woodley Grange 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.887 for Woodley Grange is calculated as follows: ( (184 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.887
  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 Woodley Grange is based on 17 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 17 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.
