Nothing is ever too much troubleSamuel S(Relative of Resident/Service User)



Woodeaves specialises in enriching the lives of elderly people, not because they care more than you, but just because it is what they do.
Having previously been looked after by parents or loved ones it can be difficult to adapt to the change of having to look after them. Looking after them doesn’t necessarily mean you providing their daily care it means making sure they receive the daily care and support they require to live a happy and fulfilled life.

The home is well managed. They did their best to cope with my mum's problems in difficult circumstances. The food was ok but mum never wanted to eat. They did their best to make food as attractive as possible. The home had a cosy feel. It's especially worth mentioning that they were particularly understanding, empathetic and kind when I became emotional about my mum going into the home.
Thanks Julie for your kind comments, it was a pleasure to have been able to look after and care for mum during her time here at Woodeaves. She was a great character and we do miss her. I hope she has settled in her new placement and I wish her all the best in the future.
I have lived here for six years and I am more than happy.

This is a place that welcomes residents, friends and families. It is truly caring. The culture is one of authentic care. A warm place in the true sense of both physical care and human caring. The staff and management communicate clearly and honour obligations to both residents and their families. I can recommend Woodeaves to people who want their loved ones to be respected, cared for and treated with patience and affection.
Thank you, Caroline for your kind comments, it was an absolute pleasure in looking after your Uncle during his stay, we do miss him and we are looking forward to him staying again soon.
All the staff, without exception, were wonderful at Woodeaves. My mother was happy and content to stay at the care home and was always very complimentary about the staff and the food which she said was very good. This is high praise indeed as my mother has stayed in numerous care homes previously...
The only area that I could suggest for improvement is the decor, which is a little tired and dated but this is being very pedantic given the level of care and attention from staff which is the most important aspect from my point of view.
The room that my mum was in, was very warm at times and there was very little ventilation which made the room quite oppressive when the weather was warm.
Overall, I rate Woodeaves and the staff very highly and would have no hesitation in recommending the care home to anyone looking for a place for a loved one.
Thank you very much Howard for your lovely comments, your mum was very much part of our family & dearly loved & missed by all, she always had a smile for us & we have some lovely memories with her, when we went down to the pub for lunches which she really enjoyed with the odd tipple.
My husband was only in Woodeaves for a short time but in that time, I was very happy with the home and the care he received.

My husband was only in Woodeaves for a short time but in that time, I was very happy with the home and the care he received. Unfortunately my husbands condition deteriorated and was unable to stay any longer. I would certainly recommend the home to anyone needing care as the staff were very caring and friendly. A lovely small care home.
Thank you Pauline for your comments, it was a pleasure looking after your husband even if it was for a short time, he still became part of our family here at Woodeaves & will be missed. We would like to wish him all the best in the future.
I always find staff helpful when I visit. The staff are all caring and my friend enjoys living at Woodeaves.

Thank you for taking the time to review our service Abbie, we are very grateful for your kind comments and delighted that your friend enjoys being with us.
Staff are always very friendly and communicative. The size makes mum's experience more like her own home but with people to chat to. I would not want anywhere larger. Her room is always clean and cosy.
