Woodside Care Home

I would highly recommend this home.

I chose Woodside from a selection of 5 Care Homes for a few good reasons. It looks Smart, has a good position, the cost per month acceptable, the staff--when I arranged to view--were polite, helpful and informative. Dad first arrived at Woodside after a period spent in hospital, he was suffering from mild dementia and prostate problems which meant he had to have regular catheter and bag monitoring. After a few weeks he looked so much better and his physical health and well-being improved due to the continued care and friendship and of course the good food. Dad was there for nearly 2 years and I know that the staff were deeply saddened by his death. My thanks to everybody at Woodside for making his time with you so effectual.

We would like to thank all the care staff/managers for looking after her so well and giving us peace of mind that mum was always safe and well in their care.

When visiting my husband (always unannounced) ALL the staff are very friendly, answer any questions we have (myself and family). In fact, nothing seems to be a problem. The food is excellent and special days (easter, mothers day, fathers day) are treated as very special days with family attending if they wish to. We are very pleased we chose Woodside for his care.

Since last December (2024), Mum has settled in very well. The staff soon realised how to manage Mum's needs. They are so kind and caring. Mum has been joining in with activities, something we though wouldn't happen. The home is always clean, food is good and nice choices. It is such a happy and calm place to be. We are so relaxed knowing that Mum is very well cared for.

Having visited many care homes before deciding on Woodside, I can safely say I made the right decision. The staff are all great and approachable and the manager always has time to speak to me about how my mother is doing. The home is clean and the food is well-presented and nutritious.

My Mother moved to Woodside in September 2023 and quickly settled in. She has a lovely room, which is kept immaculate by housekeeping as are her clothes. The size of the home and small number of residents mean that no communal space ever seems crowded, residents can make use of the dining room, the large lounge, and the TV room, and there is always a quiet corner to be found. There are a variety of activities, from gluing and sticking, to choir concerts, seasonal parties, etc. which residents can benefit from and be involved in, with a patio area stocked with garden items and plants. My Mother had a few hospital stays and on her return, I could not fault the care and attention she received from staff. The whole team is very approachable and committed to providing their best at all times. My Mother has a marvelous relationship with all the staff. We count ourselves very lucky to have found Woodside, and indeed the marvelous team that work so hard each day.

The food is more than adequate and Mum enjoys everything that is cooked for her. The staff interacts with the residents, by sitting and chatting, cuddling them or just making them laugh. The main thing for me is that my Mum is happy and contented. Nobody wants to put their loved ones into a home, but if they are happy, it helps so much.

I am very satisfied with the care my mother is receiving at Woodside Care Home. Woodside has recently had renovation work done to it which has really modernised the entire home. During my mother's time at Woodside I have found the staff to be polite and caring. The food is good with there being plenty of choice and the activity coordinator does a great job in engaging and entertaining the residents.

My father has been in here since October, he settled in so quickly and it's not hard to see why. The building is beautiful, very clean, tidy and homely and the staff, every single one I've met, including the kitchen team, are just great! So friendly and kind! Nothing is too much trouble it seems. Today I had trouble with the snow when trying to collect Dad to take him out for lunch, unable to head out the staff invited me in instead. They happily sat me down for Sunday lunch which was really good, a big roast beef. I watched the staff treat each and every resident with care and kindness, way above and beyond what I would have expected all that time ago before Dad first moved in. I am so grateful to the whole team for the care and support they give my dad! Thank you from us all!

My husband has been in Woodside Care Home since August. I am really pleased with the care he is getting The staff are always around and are happy. My husband has made friends and is happy there. Meals are very nice and plenty of them. Woodside is very clean and my husband has a lovely room. I am very pleased with the choice I made for him.

God bless you all.

I feel very lucky to have chosen Woodside as I know my mother is in safe hands. I’m very happy with how the staff look after my mother, they are caring and carry out their job in a professional way. The food is good with homemade meals being made each day as well as drinks and snacks offered throughout the day and the care home is clean and warm.

We recently took the tough decision to put Mum into a home as she needed constant care for her dementia and after only a few weeks of being there today I had my mum back. She was so happy and couldn’t give the staff enough compliments. They truly are unsung heroes who don’t get enough praise for what they do. My family are so grateful to you all and it’s nice and comforting to know that my mum's in safe hands. I'll remember to bring more cakes when I visit next weekend...you all deserve a treat once in a while!

My mum is currently residing at Woodside and I’m very happy with the care she is getting. The staff are patient with her and give her the time and attention she requires. My mother tells me that the food is nice and Woodside accommodates her requests for drinks and snacks etc. and the home itself is clean and tidy.

I have seen first-hand the level of care Woodside has given to my dad and can safely say the care he has received is good. The staff are polite and pleasant at all times, activities take place on a regular basis and the meals are excellent.

The team were 100% fantastic, and I cannot recommend this place enough!

The environment at Woodside is excellent. There are plenty of seating areas as well as lots of outdoor space for residents to go out into. My Dad's room is kept clean and tidy and nothing is ever too much trouble. The staff and management are very committed and have looked after my Dad exceptionally well. I can’t thank them enough.

I speak to my mother on a daily basis and find her in good spirits, even during these difficult times. The staff are friendly and caring towards her and she is happy with her room and the care she receives. My mother has dementia and is encouraged to join in with the activities, which she enjoys and benefits from.

My father has been at Woodside for a little over a year now and so far, the care he has received has been excellent. The staff are caring and nothing is too much trouble. There is plenty of food and drink and there is a variety of activities for him to do and take part in. They have done an excellent job, keeping my father safe during this pandemic which I am so grateful for.
