I wouldn't want my Mum anywhere else, I worked in care for over 30yr and it's the nicest place I have ever been , great management, and lovely long serving staff, Mum says she has no complaints and the food is ok "even though she wants to go home" I think she has settled well

Review from S C (Friend of Resident) published on 3 September 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Very welcoming home. My mum was a resident here and we always knew she was well looked after. The regular updates of photos and videos were very welcoming and put our minds at ease. The home is always clean and tidy. My friend now goes to Woodlands for respite when I'm away on holiday, I can totally relax when I'm away knowing that he's well cared for.

Review from Sharon A (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 September 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Dad was fortunate enough to have respite care at Woodlands a year ago and we were all so grateful and delighted when we found out that he could stay permanently. The change in Dad has been remarkable; from someone who didn't eat properly and didn't socialise, he is so content, eating well and enjoying the social elements. He remains a challenge! But, that's Dad and the manager and her amazing team work with him well to maintain as much independence as possible and my brother and I will be forever grateful to you all. Thank you xxx
