Woodside

Staff and manager were so helpful and couldn't have asked for better and kind staff every were clean and tidy they have so much patience I dont no how they do the job sometimes william or john as he was called loved all the staff medically yo couldn't have asked for better nurses like all homes they are extremely busy but always had time to listen to his stories x

With the sensitive and wise management of the manager and deputy, this is truly a caring care home. Their concern is that everyone shall be comfortable and happy, and they move around chatting and spending time, giving genuine intent. They believe that each person is precious and the staff are carefully trained to treat all people with respect and gentleness. Woodside gives a positive reason for living.

My husband has had such a good experience wile living in this home he loves all the staff and they love him he has been in 3 other care homes and they could never care for him as well as this home we have have no faults at the home it is so clean and well kept and he really enjoys the food and the staff offer family and friends a cuppa the minute you arrive i have even been offered a meal wile visiting my husband the only thing I feel that could slightly improve is more activity but other wise its a 10 out of 10 from me and my family.

I have found the care in the home to be excellent. My husband is treated with great care and all the carers are kind, considerate and always working to make living in the home a pleasant time, as best they can depending on the health of the resident. I could not wish for better care and attention.

I take my hat off to the staff who are always so lovely, especially to mum even when she's having a bad day & have got to know her & her needs & for this, I thank them!

My mum was a resident at woodside for a couple of years. The care she received when she first arrived was great. Staff were kind and caring, manager was helpful, food was good, the room was small but adequate, but the toilet in the room was not usable. As time went on care deteriorated. My mum ended up with bed sores, she had a broken arm which could not be explained, lots of male staff looking after personal care after i had requested this should stop. As a family we felt like we were not listened to. The only consistent at the home was the long term staff who always kept us informed.

I could say so much more. Thank you Woodside.

The team always ensure mum is well cared for, looking after all her needs. They ensure her appearance and hygiene is as she would of liked to ensure she is comfortable, fed and kept safe. On her birthday they put balloons in her room and the staff came in singing happy birthday with cake and candles. We are very happy for mum to be at Woodside.

Choosing where to place a loved one is never easy, but the staff at Woodside made it an easy decision. Unfortunately, Dad was not at the care home long, but we know he would have been happy there.

Even though my dad was a resident at Woodside for a short period of time, the care and support he and extended family had was faultless.

Woodside have looked after my mother since 2021 until she passed away recently. The dedication of the staff and level of care they provided her was exemplary,and they were always willing to go the extra mile. Even when it came to end of life management,the staff were so caring and compassionate and helped us through this difficult process with kindness and dignity.

I could not have asked for better care at the end of his life where they ensured he was kept comfortable and pain free updating family on a regular basis.

My sister in law has been here for eight months. She has settled in really well. I find the staff and management really competent and caring, and go the extra mile.

My mum was very well looked after and I would fully recommend this care home. The management will do anything to ensure that residents and families' needs are met.

My wife died in April 2024 after almost 4 years nursing care at Woodside. She suffered from complex medical needs including vascular dementia and Type 1 diabetes. Her care was first class and the staff went above and beyond our expectations in looking after her, especially during Covid, sometimes working extended shifts in an emergency. We were in awe at how shocked and upset the staff were when my wife finally passed away. We will always be extremely grateful for all their efforts to make her last few years as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

We found that he is well looked after, spotlessly clean, well-fed. The staff are amazing. His room is well-decorated and always clean. The home is always spotlessly clean every time we visit. The gardens always look good.

The management is of great support to me. I am very happy.

My mother entered the nursing home a couple of months ago after a period of respite care at another facility. We cannot thank the staff at Woodside enough for their care and dedication. Each time we visit Mum, who has dementia and Parkinson's; she greets us with a wave and a smile, and it is the same when we leave. As visitors, we are made to feel very welcome, and our presence is valued. Our impressions have been very positive, and we are very grateful to the staff.

My husband received respite care from the home for a week. He was very unsettled initially with the change, but all of the staff at the home helped to ease the transition. He received excellent care and I found the staff to be very friendly and accommodating.

We are very happy with Woodside knowing that she is so well cared for.
