Woodbridge Lodge Care Home

We have felt very involved from the beginning and it seems that nothing is too much trouble.

Great communication with family

It's lovely to see grandma happy and well looked after

I find Woodbridge Lodge a very good care home. The conservatory can be very hot for the residents, which makes the residents sleep a lot. Dementia residents can not join in the activities much. But the 2 activities staff do an excellent job there. Rooms could be used better on the ground floor. The meals and cakes they do are very good.

I had an unexpected emergency crisis with my father and needed emergency respite care. The home was quick to respond to assess him and was able to move him in that day. Although my father is relatively self caring he appeared comfortable and settled. Seeing my father laugh and not have that startled, scared look in his face was priceless and he had warm hot meals.

The communication between staff and myself is vey good and the management very professional.

My nan has been living at Woodbridge Lodge now for a few months. She is really enjoying herself.

I'm very happy that I can take our pet dog to visit my husband as it makes a huge difference to him that he can see her.

There is a nice family atmosphere here at the home.

I was here for 3 weeks of respite care following a minor illness and a short stay in hospital before going back home. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The activities like seated yoga were good and helped all those taking part to keep moving. The outing to the bowling alley for ten pin bowling was very enjoyable. It was good to get out and to do an activity. The less well and needy residents were well cared for.

On assisting my friend for his respite, what I have seen has been most favourable. He seems to me to be very well cared for and is extremely happy.

I was made welcome when I arrived. I like my room and I am pleased to have my own W.C, the bath is very good. There is a good range of food which I enjoy a lot. There is help with eating when I need it. The activity staff are very pleasant and helpful. Most of the staff are good and kind. I feel very comfortable and safe here. I really appreciate the open visiting times and that my dog is always welcomed.

Thank you for looking after my mum, I loved Woodbridge Lodge.

Mum is very happy and is cared for and feels safe here. The staff are very welcoming. It's nice to be able to visit any time.

It's nice that we can visit anytime, It's very homely

Staff are always very friendly and the care of mum is great, nothing seems to be too much trouble. If there are any issues, I always feel very comfortable speaking to any member of staff and comments are taken on board and addressed.

Mum has up and down days but spoke to her tonight and she told me she enjoyed the trip out to bowling yesterday! Fingers crossed she settles soon as it's a lovely place.

We are on the first steps of the journey finding the right care for our mum. Staff have been wonderful with both Mum and our family. We feel safe in their hands, referring to their experience and knowledge of both care and dementia. Mum's room is lovely with a gorgeous view over the gardens. On good days she says it's quaint and lovely. On bad days she admits the room is nice!

Mum has been in the care home for six years - she has seen most of the staff and residents come and go! However, now that the staff team seems to have settled down the overall standard of care has improved. Activities are excellent. Food is always good. Sadly, a room with only a commode to use is always a challenge for Mum, particularly during the night! At times, keeping the home clean and laundry turn over, remains an ongoing struggle.

My mother-in-law has been at Woodbridge Lodge for 6 years - experiencing changes in staff and management. On the whole, she has experienced good care and, in particular, she has enjoyed all the interesting activities and events held at the home.
