Woodlands Quaker Home

Thank you Woodlands, you care.

In other words a proper caring, care home.

My mother spent 3 1/2 years at Woodlands before she passed away in June 2018. The level of care and cleanliness was always of the highest standard, staff were caring and attentive and despite her dementia, she was very happy there. A wonderful environment and visitor access at all times. I always had peace of mind knowing that she was being well cared for.

My mother spent 10 years of her life happily living in the Woodlands, in what was a caring environment. My mother made many friends from both the residents and staff. She took part enthusiastically in many of the activities, musical events, scrabble, whist drive, keep fit and knitting. She also enjoyed the food which was a good standard. When she was more mobile she enjoyed the garden party and outdoor events. I can only thank the staff for the wonderful care that was given especially in her last few months in the home.

It suits me, I am quite happy living in the Quaker home.

We are delighted with the care and support my father is receiving in the Woodlands. The atmosphere is most friendly and welcoming. The caring staff exude a calm competence which gives both residents and their family a sense of ease and confidence. Staff members are respectful and considerate and are aware of residents needs and wishes as individuals. On our visit to the Woodlands before my father became a resident we were assured: "This will be your home and we want you to live here as you have always lived in your own home". This assurance has been born out in the flexibility and willingness demonstrated in accommodating individual desires and requirements.

This is the lighthouse in the care home. It is exceptionally clean, tidy and non-smelling and homely. My experience is that every aspect that could be received by a resident is there, and if it isn't there, it is obtained. The staff are wonderful, caring and very quick to notice a residents needs. An exceptional home for all elderly people.

This home has looked after my wife within an EMI unit. They have treated my wife extremely well. The staff have been kind and very caring. The facilities in the EMI unit are excellent and whenever my wife has been distressed the staff have always helped to comfort her. Medication is controlled and supervised and the food is always of an acceptable standard. Hygiene has been very good. Her room is excellent and kept clean. The carers have been quick to answer any of my questions and there are always sufficient (more than) carers within the unit. My wife has always been treated with dignity and respect.

My Mother was in Woodlands Care Home in the EMI Unit for nearly 2 years. We had to move her from the home to a nursing home as her mobility became very bad and it was felt she needed nursing care as well as care! We as a family we found the staff always efficient and always treated my Mother with the utmost dignity.

The food was always very satisfactory as was the care! At times the carers were very stretched! The management team were very helpful and did their best to make sure my Mother's transition from care home to nursing home as smooth as possible.

The staff are caring and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. They also were very kind to my Father who visited my Mother every day.

My mother has been a resident at the Woodlands Quaker Home, Wolverhampton. My mother passed away in hospital at the age of 94 after suffering a fall. She was a resident for over 5 years and she received wonderful care, and as a family, we received great support. The staff are dedicated, professional and empathic towards my mother and my family. I have always felt part of the 'Woodlands family' and feel heartbroken that this has come to an end. Management team very supportive. I would give the Woodlands 10/10 for everything.

My aunt lived at Woodlands Quaker Home for 6 years and I never had cause for concern about her treatment, well being or happiness.

My mother has been at the Woodlands for a year and during this time she has experienced a wonderful caring home. My mother is blind (no vision at all) and also a Coeliac. The Woodland management were clear, from the start that she would be made to feel at home, that they had other residents with either vision problems and/or severe dietary restrictions. The staff have performed better than I could ever have expected and my mother in enjoying every minute at her new home. There are activities for the residents everyday, all the food is cooked on site. The staff are able to manage my mothers challenges with ease.

When my uncle needed full care, we were delighted to find Woodlands both welcoming and caring. Staff are universally friendly. There is openness in discussing my uncle's needs. As my uncle became less mobile, discrete assistance increased to meet his needs. The Woodlands is always clean and does not feel like an institutional facility. When my uncle died, he was supported, as were we, by people he knew and liked.

The Woodlands has provided care for our aunty and peace of mind for us for nearly two years. It was the only home she would consider as they had also taken care of her brother for five years. Fully satisfied with everything they do for her.

I was looking for respite for my mom, on visiting the home everyone was very welcoming and it was like a homely reception. The manager is responsive to all individual needs and it is very well led by her. All the staff are aware of moms complete history and paperwork is kept up to date. Mom is very settled with all the care and support she needs. I am very happy with my moms care at The Woodlands Quaker Home and Spinney. Mom is now a permanent resident there. I have told family and friends what a lovely place it is to care for loved ones.

I have witnessed genuine affection shown by staff to all the residents. Attention to detail is always evident and every member of the community is made to feel special. Specialist support is provided where needed and there is excellent communication between the home and myself. I cannot recommend the Woodlands enough!

Living close to the Woodlands, I was able to visit anytime. the staff were always helpful, nothing too much trouble in any respect. I always felt it was a peaceful, quiet place to visit. The residents always treated with dignity. For just over a year of my mum's stay, her final year, she was transferred to the Dementia Unit, where the level of care was so good. When visiting, it was like being part of a big family. Four weeks before she died she went into hospital for two weeks, thinking, but hoping and praying this wouldn't be where she would spend her final days. The management were so helpful in getting her back to the Woodlands where they tried so hard to get her well again. I am very thankful to them and still visit. God took my Mum, she was a Christian, on Mother's Day 2015.

My mother has been a resident at the above home for two and a half years now. It took her a while to adjust and settle. She, and our family have been treated respectfully and openly throughout. We are invited to help on an equal footing, with decisions relating to my mothers care, needs and wellbeing.

My 93 year old nana settled in straight away which we were very pleased with. The staff are all without fail so friendly and caring. They are so dedicated to their work and seem to enjoy working with the old people too. My nan has made lots of friends loves the food and enjoys walking around the beautiful grounds several times a day. She likes chatting to the staff too. I'm so pleased we found this place- it is fantastic!
