Woodstock Care Centre

Woodstock certainly puts the Home into care home. The buildings have a real homely feel and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. We looked at other facilities before deciding on Woodstock but some were so cold and clinical. It is quite daunting to have to pick a care home for your parent but the staff at Woodstock were wonderful, giving us help and pointers, as we moved through the process.

Mum has only been there a short while but she is joining in the activities and the change in her is amazing. She is happy and smiling and doing things that we never thought that she would ever do again. The staff always seem to go that extra mile to ensure Mum enjoys every day at the home.

We can’t thank everyone at Woodstock enough and we are happy in the knowledge that we made the right choice.

My mum went into Woodstock Residential Care Centre as an emergency and from the very first contact with the home they have been reassuring and caring to my mum, dad and myself. Staff are welcoming and friendly, giving the home a positive vibe. The residents are treated with respect. The rooms are all clean and tidy. When you go to Woodstock you become part of the family. Lovely, lovely home.

Woodstock is a beautifully run care home, most friendly and welcoming. The staff are highly professional and most caring, treating residents with respect and caring for them as individuals according to their various needs. There is such a happy atmosphere and just looking at the residents shows just how much they are cared for and respected. Visitors are always made to feel most welcome and the whole place presents as a home in the nicest possible sense. Within days of my father-in-law becoming a resident, his demeanour and appearance improved considerably and his happiness and contentment is so evident thanks to the excellent care he now receives. The contact made with relatives and the providing of information as necessary is also excellent.

I did visit a few homes before choosing Woodstock but I did not like their clinical vinyl floors and lack of homely feeling. I chose Woodstock because the building is a 'proper' home, it is warm and welcoming with the décor and clean without having a clinical (hospital) feel. Right choice.

Whenever I visit Woodstock, I am welcomed at the door by a smiling member of staff, whether that is a senior member of staff, general helper or cleaner. The staff are easy to approach, always listen to any concerns and are happy to help even in difficult circumstances. I feel my mother is being looked after well and seems as happy as a 97-year-old with problems associated with old age may expect to be.

My mother received exceptional care. She was given choices in her diet and activities. All her needs have been met by pleasant caring staff. My mother went in for respite care but has chosen to stay as she enjoys her life at Woodstock Residential Care Centre.

We find the care home to be well managed, clean and tidy with plenty of activities for the residents to keep their minds active. The staff are always helpful to families visiting, and courteous to residents respecting their personal needs. The overall care in the home is extremely good, it takes time for residents to adapt to their new environment and to the staff, both seem patient and respectful of each others situations. Additional facilities for hair, nails etc are welcomed by residents.

. There would appear to be a variety of games and activities on a daily basis, which stimulates her. In the future when mum needs full-time care, I would have no doubt Woodstock would be most suitable for her. Thank you to the manager and all the staff

It is a very bright and spacious home and has many activities for residents to join in.

Thanks very much.

I feel very confident that my mother is getting high quality care.

The manager and all the staff are very kind, caring and understanding. The home environment is bright, cheerful and aimed at residents stimulation.

Thank you.

Amazing home. Fantastic staff, kind, caring and compassionate. Loved seeing them and interacting with all the residents. Nothing was too much trouble. When my friend had to go into a Nursing home the manager helped and supported me in finding one. Priceless care and support. Thank you, Woodstock Residential Care Centre, staff and management.

The first impression of the Centre was lasting, bright, airing and welcoming. Staff always welcomed us like friends. They quickly settled my best friend, my mother-in-law in. She unfortunately only managed a month there before she was poorly and had to go to the hospital, but whilst in hospital she kept asking to go home. She did not mean her house, but her new home at Woodstock where she had settled, made friends and got involved with all the activities they run on a daily basis. The home looks bright, light and airy, smells sweet and has beautiful gardens. It is a lovely place, and we looked at a number before settling on this one. A very good choice for us and mum.

Love coming to visit my husband. Love it here because the care is lovely and the home feels welcoming. Girls are good at their job. Woodstock feels like home.

My mother is extremely well looked after. The manager is helpful and always on call to answer any questions or worries we might have. The staff generally are helpful. Considering my mother has dementia all the staff are very patient with her. There are activities every day and a mini bus which takes the residents out on lots of occasions. In the summer there is a bright and cheerful garden with seats and umbrellas to sit outside. Coffee mornings are held and entertainment provided which is excellent.
