Click to show a breakdown of the Review Score
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.543 for Woodland Grove is calculated as follows: ( (53 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 94 Ratings = 4.543
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
The 4.15 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Woodland Grove is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 3.75
Target of 10 positive Reviews (50 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 4 Reviews ÷ 10 Target = 0.400
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Review submitted from a Postal Card by S M (Daughter of Resident) on Friday 28 July 2017. Relates to July 2017.
My mum always told myself and my siblings never to put her in 'a home'. Mum moved to Woodland Grove in August 2015 as she couldn't look after herself and the carers were struggling.
Since Mum has been at Woodland Grove she has been extremely well looked after and I have no concerns now about her diet, cleanliness and overall well-being.
The other day whilst I was visiting, Mum was sat in the lounge having a cup of tea. She looked around the room at everybody then said to me very genuinely. 'I really love it here, they (the staff) are really lovely and take good care of me.' I couldn't have been happier seeing the big smile on her face.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Sonia R (Daughter of Resident) on Saturday 27 May 2017. Relates to May 2017.
I have been very happy with the way the staff have helped settle my mother into the home since last July - my fears about her moving into a care home from her own home have been completely allayed by the care and attention she receives. Her room is lovely - she regards it as her place now and she loves the attentiveness and helpfulness of the staff there, which I also appreciate. The activities coordinator makes great efforts to vary activities and includes /involves all the residents where possible - I was concerned my mother would not join in but she is gently encouraged and does take part. She has dementia but I have always found the staff considerate and sensitive to her. Information and care review systems have also much improved since my mother's arrival. It's great for our family to feel she still has some independence but in a safe and secure environment. The grounds are beautiful and there are plenty of areas to spend time with my mother if we are not taking her out somewhere.

My relative is well looked after. The staff care about her well-being, and we know, as does she, that she matters. The staff are very aware of her needs and are respectful towards her at all times.

Mum was moved to Woodland Grove because her previous home was closed due to financial problems (the staff were unable to be maintained), agency was used. Since moving to Woodland Grove mum has been much happier and the staff are cheerful and understanding of Mums needs. Activities take place every day which is wonderful.

I really appreciate being able to go to Church most Sundays as my faith is important to me. The staff help me to get ready and a member of the activities team takes me. It's good to feel part of the local community.

I think it is very good, but someone should be on standby when changeover occurs because resident has to wait a long time for help.

I cannot fault this place. Having now been taken over by new management, I find the team and staff (many new recruits) are absolutely brilliant. My father is treated with respect, dignity and given support as required, while also allowing him freedom and choice in his daily routine. We researched care homes in Bath for several months before choosing this place, and are delighted to have made the right choice. The rooms are en-suite and spacious.
