Overall, I am very pleased with the home; it provides for my husband's needs, and I know he is safe and comfortable here. I have recently noticed that the food standard is not as good as when he first came, but otherwise, no complaints. The laundry sometimes muddles his clothes, and on more than one
occasion, he has worn clothes that are not his.

If you are looking for a care home in Sittingbourne for your loved one, I recommend you pay a visit to Woodstock Care Home. It is such a happy, homely place to be. All the staff are amazing, they do their best to help and keep the residents happy. They really are lovely. The home has so much going
on. It is up to the individuals if they want to take part or not in various activities. They also have quiet areas and beautiful grounds to sit out in. The home is run by a brilliant dedicated manager. she is so very caring, thoughtful and professional ( I hope Nellsar management read this review! As your company has the most genuine Woodstock manager, she is fully committed). I must add that relatives are made very welcome and can visit when they wish.
It is well worth looking at the Woodstock Care Home videos and photos, also, write ups as there are far too many things to mention in a review.

Reply from Glenda Osmotherly, Director of Operations at Woodstock Residential Care Centre

Thank you so much for this positive feedback and yes Nellsar Management do read all the reviews and use the information as a vehicle for positive change. I will, as always contact the staff team following this review and remind them how proud they should be and the benefit their excellent care and kindness provides which extends to the whole family. The manager is exceptional, she cares with a passion about her residents and families and always strives for her home and her staff to be the best they can be, excellent care and lots of opportunities for fun.

My nan came to Woodstock for respite and we were so pleased with how quickly she settled.The staff are so caring and attentive so supportive to us as a family. My nan settled so well that as a family we decided for her to stay as a permanent resident. To see my nan so well looked after, settled, clean

Unfortunately, I feel that standards have slipped a little. There seems to be an issue with the washing and often I find clothes in my mum's wardrobe that are not hers. The toilet near the dining room area the other day did smell and I feel that the home inside is looking a bit tired.
My mum's room
looks a bit tired and the curtains do too. Also, her window is still wooden framed.
I think that the money we pay each month that things are getting a bit neglected.
The care staff do a wonderful job and my mum is well looked after.

My mum has been ‘working’ here for 3 years now! She is well looked after and seems happy enough, she loves a bit of banter and enjoys joining in with the activities and going on outings out. The staff are absolutely fantastic, they work so hard to make everyone feel welcome. I’m not in generally at
meal times but the one time I did pop in at tea time, Mum had sandwiches that in my opinion didn’t look very appetising and were stale! So maybe a little more attention to the food/menu. I appreciate it’s not easy feeding so many but at the same time, it’s at least got to be appealing and fresh. With regards to the laundry, I think the home is back on track as I know they were having a few problems, but as long as everything is named it makes their life easier for them, being understaffed doesn’t help. Overall though Mum is really happy there with her friends and I don’t have to worry about her as I’m kept up to speed with everything.

Thank you for bringing to our attention the issues related to supper time. I will discuss this with the home manager and head chef, and we will review the Menu taking into consideration the resident's wishes and needs.

My dear father has been a resident for more than two years now and regards Woodstock as his home. He is treated with loving care and kindness by the wonderful staff. My family and I know that he is safe and secure. The activities are varied. I enjoy being able to take part in recent Christmas fun! The
home is always decorated in a way that reflects the season or celebration, e.g. Halloween, Valentine's and Christmas. My father particularly likes the regular church services. I am always made to feel welcome by all the staff, and I appreciate the time they spend listening to any questions or concerns that I may have, whether speaking to me in person or on the telephone.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.630)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.630) out of 10 for Woodstock Residential Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.630 for Woodstock Residential Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (183 Excellents x 5) + (63 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 262 Ratings = 4.63

  • b) 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 Woodstock Residential Care Centre is based on 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Joined: 2000

"Hello, my name is Lynn Clemons and I am the Head Chef at Woodstock. I started as the Weekend Cook in October 2000, where I then had the opportunity to work full time as Cook. The training has improved since I started, as we now have the same training as all our care staff including Dementia, SOVA and Moving and Handling. This has given me a greater understanding of the people we care for; I enjoy my job making sure my residents eat well and enjoy their meals.


Woodstock is a very homely and happy place to work. The food we provide has massively improved and our residents have more choice – even the puréed meals have improved with the use moulds and piping techniques. The puréed meals we serve our residents on a soft food diet retain the attractive appearance of the regular meals we serve everyone else.


We have a very supportive team here at Woodstock – from the managers to the care staff – we work as a team. The best part about working with and leading my Kitchen staff is to making sure that our residents are happy with the catering services we provide. We also strive to ensure their families are happy that their mums, dads, and grandparents are content and well looked after.”

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.”
