Dad has been at Woodstock for a couple of years now. He knows the building well as his father helped build the original house. This means that Dad had a connection to the place from the start. He is very aware of things and his dementia is very mild, but he also has mobility issues and short term memory is very poor. He found the transition to a home very hard and resisted the move. However, he was treated with kindness and dignity from the outset. The staff are all, without exception, amazing. I am unable to visit as often as I would wish as I live many hours away. However, I know that Dad is in the best possible place, receiving top class care. All the staff (handpicked for their qualities I feel certain) are helpful, kind, hardworking and amazingly supportive to their residents. This Care home is well run from every aspect. There is plenty to keep the residents active and entertained. Best Care home EVER!!!
We are delighted to hear how well your dad has settled at Woodstock and that the team's kindness and support have made such a positive difference. Your reassurance and trust mean a great deal to us, and your kind words will be truly appreciated by the whole team.

Yes, you are absolutely right, we are an extended family, doing our very best for our loved ones. The staff will be extremely grateful to be recognized for their dedication and hard work.
This place is a real 'Home'. Just dropped dad off there for daycare today and a member of staff recognised him and gave him a big smile and a wave. Made his day! He couldn't get in there fast enough. It's normally so difficult due to his Alzheimer's and this natural gesture meant the world to Dad...

"The staff and I here at Woodstock are very committed to providing excellent care and upholding the values of our residents and their families. Collectively, our team has a wide range of exceptional skills that enable us to focus on the well-being of our residents, and deliver tailored, person-centred care.
Our Unit Managers make sure our residents’ clinical care and medical needs are expertly catered for, and our care staff work extremely hard to ensure that residents receive the best all-round care, in a way that is of their choosing. Ensuring our residents’ happiness and contentment is of the utmost importance, as is making sure they feel like Woodstock is their home.
Our Recreation and Well-Being Team provides a broad range of meaningful activities that allow residents to enjoy life; family and friends are very much a part of it all. We have a fabulous Catering Team that provides delicious meals for our residents – varied menus that cater for all tastes and medical needs.
Our Housekeeping department ensures our Home is kept clean, tidy and maintained to a high standard, providing a comfortable and attractive environment our residents can enjoy and feel proud to live in.

“Hello, my name is Marina Foreman. I am the Senior Recreation and Well-Being Lead at Woodstock Residential Care Home and I started in December 2016. I’m very proud of completing multiple training courses over the years, including Mental Health Level 3, the Care Certificate, Advanced Course Dementia, NVQ Level 2 in Principles of Dementia and Virtual Dementia Tour.
I passionately believe meaningful activities are the key to good mental health and well-being. I believe that everyone has a value and I want to support people to lead their best possible lives. My job role allows me to bring smiles to people's faces and seeing the residents having fun, laughing and enjoying themselves makes me happy. It gives me great pleasure to know that I’m making a difference. I am also very proud of getting Woodstock in the newspaper and the good feedback I receive from families about the Activities that we provide at the Home.
Over the years, Activities has become more widely recognised as a very important part of care for our residents’ well-being. Nellsar and the team I work with at Woodstock are very supportive with my ideas and helping me to achieve my goals and bring activities to the Home.”

“I currently work at Woodstock as a Kitchen Assistant, and I have been an assistant cook since June 2019. I previously worked as a Kitchen Assistant from 2007 to 2009 and I came back in June 2020 on a teatime duty.
I became a Care Assistant at Woodstock for a year after leaving my job in Sittingbourne Community School as a Catering Assistant, which I worked at for nearly eleven years. When the pandemic started my job role changed as I became a full time Kitchen Assistant and Assistant Cook. I even became employee of the month on the year of 2019!
I have been provided with lots of different training from the Home including Dementia Care, First Aid, Nutrition and Hydration and much more. I also achieved a certificate for the Nellsar Chef Masterclass in 2019.
I love and enjoy my job – especially in the cooking. Over the years working at Woodstock, I gained a lot of confidence. Working with such a friendly and supportive team has helped me grow throughout my journey and I feel I have become stronger in myself.”
