Mum moved into Woodlea Care Home at the end of her life. Only 2 weeks early she was given poor prognosis. She had been fit and healthy prior to a short illness. In hospital she was comforted by the nurse call bell, and this was her reason for choosing care home instead of care at home. The staff at Woodlea were kind, respectful and gentle with her. She was fortunate to go to the garden centre on a trip with them, despite being very poorly and deteriorated but respected her wishes to go as she knew this might be her last time. In her final days the District Nurses were aiming and fully part of the team at Woodlea. We are so very grateful to you.
Thank you for your positive comments and our staff team is so grateful.

My father entered Woodlea at the end of March 2025 with Parkinson's Dementia. Initially he struggled to understand why he was there and was regularly disorientated. Staff have worked closely with us his family to monitor his behaviour and feedback to external medical professionals.Together we have adjusted his medication and tried to keep as 'old routines' as possible in order to help him settle. We have been allowed to fill his room with photographs and professions and even furniture from his old house to keep the feeling of familiarly. He also enjoys regular visitors from local friends and outings to keep his old life going where possible.
We really appreciate you taking time to provide a review of your experience of Woodlea, and good to hear it has been positive. We will feedback your comments to ours staff team thank you so much.

I cannot recommend Woodlea highly enough. After visiting many care homes, the moment we were shown around by Emma and met Lydia, we knew we'd finally found the right place for my mum to spend the final chapter of her life. As we got to know the team, it became clear how special you all are - caring, compassionate, and always willing to go above and beyond to ensure residents and families felt comfortable and supported. The food was excellent and thoughtfully tailored to her needs, while the entertainment and special events brought laughter and cherished memories. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for the kindness, dignity, and warmth you showed my mum and our family. You made her final days peaceful and meaningful, and for that we will always be truly grateful.With sincere thanks and appreciation. Adrian, Joanne & Ciaran

My grandma has been in Woodlea since the start of this year. She was worried about the change but very quickly adapted and found a new lease in life thanks to all the staff. She feels very much cared for. She loves the food, entertainment and praises the laundry staff for their excellent work. There is lots of thought, care, attention and detail throughout by all the staff. Thank you Woodlea.

I have been in Woodlea Care Home for just over a year and my experience has been good. All of the staff are very caring, my only concern is the wheelchair access to the back garden. I think it could be made easier than it is. Thank you.

The care my mother has received at Woodlea has been excellent. Staff are caring, kind and extremely helpful. Well-being of residents of uppermost, including stimulation as well as care. Activities occur most days and the atmosphere is always happy and pleasant. Visitors are made to feel welcome. It is a pleasure to visit my mother at Woodlea. The friendly atmosphere to residents and visitors is the reason I rate Woodlea as excellent.

Mum arrived at Woodlea as a respite resident while we were on holiday. My sister and I were immediately pleased with the way she settled in and made friends. The carers were really attentive and made sure she had everything she needed and administered her medications when she needed them. She's now decided to stay permanently and is happy, stimulated and cared for. Food is cooked on-site, varied and delicious.
Thank you for your positive comments and our staff team is so grateful.
We come to visit our brother every week and find the staff super friendly, brother could not ask for better care, every one of the staff is so helpful and caring would recommend anyone to come here, we can swear by it.

All the carers, cleaners and kitchen staff are so friendly, helpful and caring! The manager and the assistant manager are always there to discuss any concerns about my mother's health and are so understanding and helpful. Nothing is too much for them. I am confident she is looked after. The rooms are pleasant. Two lounges and a dining room are large and comfy. Always clean and nice smelling! Meals excellent!
Thank you so much for your positive comments regarding our home and team. We are all grateful and will always be here to support.
The staff are very kind and caring. They go over and above their duties, very friendly with all who visit and people they take care of. There is always something to do and they take residents all over, including going for meals at pub.

I can recommend Woodlea Care Home as the staff have been very caring according to my friend resident there. This resident is very happy with most things and especially enjoys the activities and the food, but most of all they feel safe. I recently had a concern about their bed linen not being...
During the last episode of a lockdown, the communication was not always clearly explained so hopefully would be better, if there's a next time.

Thank you for your kind words and praise for our staff at Woodlea, we will make sure they are passed on to the team. In relation to the bed linen issue I am led to believe that this was changed in line with our usual practices and not left for 3-weeks - this has already been discussed with you in person to your satisfaction by the home manager.Unfortunately, Covid-19 is still around and whilst for many life is able to continue, for the most vulnerable strict government and local authority guidelines are still having to be adhered to. These are being relaxed in some ways but there are still restrictions and these are forever changing I'm afraid, however, your comments are taken on board and should a lockdown happen in the future we will try our best to communicate with everyone as effectively as we can.
If there are any concerns relating to Mum I am informed swiftly and updated regularly. There are good...
The food is good with usually a choice each day.

While I was there I asked the manager if I could have the belongings of my late friend as I was dealing with her estate. She told me she would contact the social worker and safeguarding teams to see if she could pass them on, and would get back to me. I never heard from her until I managed to get her on the phone on 3rd April 2023. Please keep people informed!
Hi Daniel, please accept our apologies for this matter. I have spoken to the manager and she has explained that she needed to check that she could handover your friend's possessions given you were not their next of kin. I appreciate this may have been inconvenient but the manager just wanted to...
Hi Daniel, please accept our apologies for this matter. I have spoken to the manager and she has explained that she needed to check that she could handover your friend's possessions given you were not their next of kin. I appreciate this may have been inconvenient but the manager just wanted to make sure this was allowed. I am sorry that this took longer than it probably should have. Kind regards.

My father has been at Woodlea since June 2019. We moved him from Wakefield to be nearer family and we couldn't have picked a nicer home. The staff and management are brilliant, warm and friendly to family. We can rest knowing he is safe, secure and well-fed. He loves where he is and we are happy.
