From my first visit to assess the home, the professional and friendly staff stood out. The atmosphere gives me confidence that mum is in a home where she is cared for extremely well. The owners care about the fabric of the building that is always very clean and the design and decoration are carefully
thought about and planned. The manager particularly demonstrates her care for residents, staff and the efficient running of the home.


Overall, the best place and the only place I would trust the care of my mum to.

Today has been my second visit to Woodheyes. On both visits, staff were very friendly and caring, it has a lovely warm and welcoming atmosphere. My friend who resides there has commented regularly on how good and kind the staff are. If my situation required dementia care, I would have no doubts or fears
of living there.

I have always been impressed with the air of calm which pervades at Woodheyes. The standard of care my wife has received over two years has been exemplary. The home is very efficiently managed, whilst the staff are caring, professional and obviously well trained. I particularly like the way staff are
quick to spot any health impairment and seek medical treatment. I would unhesitantly recommend the home to anyone in need of care.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.641)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.641) out of 10 for Woodheyes is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.741 for Woodheyes is calculated as follows: ( (85 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.741

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Woodheyes is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.9

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6, which has been reached with 9 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
