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.

Review from Cath H (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 June 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Genuine and caring staff without exception, a very well-run care home where both the residents and staff are happy. My mum has been here for 18 months; we visit most days and so see the care at close quarters. Woodley Grange staff have been very flexible and continue to respond to changes in Mum's capability/understanding
and care needs (she has dementia). The activity programme runs every morning and afternoon, ranging from craft to music, entertainers and trips out. Residents are actively invited to take part. The home invites new ideas and acts on suggestions. We looked at about 40 care homes and visited 8, so can comment with some context - Woodley Grange is a happy, active place which suits my mum well and we would highly recommend it.

My mother-in-law has been a resident of Woodley Grange since August. The staff are all excellent, and the care given is exemplary. There is a wide range of activities available, and this means that she is kept busy and stimulated all the time. The home is just excellent, and we cannot thank everyone

Review from B P (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 August 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother is a resident at Woodley Grange. She has a very rare form of dementia that presents differently to most other types, which has made getting Mum the support she needed very difficult since even healthcare workers aren't familiar with it. Now she is safely installed in Woodley Grange and I couldn't
be happier. She is in a wonderful, warm, caring environment, with people who really understand her as a person, her condition, and her needs. The staff, and particularly the manager, go far above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to taking care of Mum. Literally, nothing is too much trouble. The communication from the home is exceptional, they keep me updated with any areas of concern or new developments. It's humbling to realise how many real-life heroes are out there, just doing amazing things every day, making older people's lives more fulfilling, happier and safer. I genuinely cannot recommend Woodley Grange highly enough.

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.
