Woodleigh Lodge Residential Care Home

Management run a very understanding, knowledgeable and compassionate home for dealing with complex dementia residents. My dad was placed into respite care in Woodleigh Lodge in June 2025 with Alzheimer's and it was a huge step for the family and for dad. The staff, carers and the lady who organises the activities at Woodleigh Lodge have been exceptional and his needs are met, he is immaculately clean and well cared for. Dad is treated with respect and the staff all understand the individual needs of each of the residents and the bedrooms are very clean and modern. The food is always plentiful and nicely presented, with lots of snacks available.

Having to put my dad into a care home was the hardest thing for me to have to do as an only child and promising my mum I would look after him after we lost her, unfortunately Alzeimer's had other ideas for us! Woodleigh Lodge is the one we chose after doing our research, I am so pleased we did, its one big family the staff are so welcoming as soon as you walk in the atmosphere is really pleasant the food always looks appetising and the constant flow of tea and coffee, the care is second to none. My dad is painfully shy but I often walk in to him doing exercises and his arms in the air this makes me realise we made the right decision for my dad. My personal favourite thing about Woodleigh apart from how they care for dad, is the fact I can turn up when ever I want to, no appointment necessary, I can also take his elderly dog in to see him any time I want to, again, no appointment necessary, my daughter also takes her dog in to see him. Overall, I am very happy we chose Woodleigh Lodge.

My mother, who passed away in August 2024 was looked after with the utmost care. The staff loved her and looked after her and treated as they would a beloved mother or grandmother. They were kindness itself to the family and offered sympathy and support on her passing, attending the funeral and shedding tears along with the rest of us. During her stay, she was treated with kindness and respect and I was able to rest assured of her care, day and night, which was so comforting.

I cannot praise the staff of Woodleigh Lodge Residential Home highly enough. Each and every one is welcoming, friendly, professional and helpful and always available to answer questions. The home is immaculately clean and warm and the meals are healthy and appetising. Activities are plentiful and the sense of humour of the staff is uplifting for both residents and visitors. I am always greeted at the door with a smile.

All the staff have been friendly and helpful at a stressful time for me and took care of my wife with kindness and made her stay in there really happy, as happy as she could possibly be with her condition. My wife had testing problems and was dealt with the utmost respect.

Wow, just wow... a fabulous care home with amazing staff. Give my dad the best care ever! All Dad's personal care's given to a high standard. I also work in care so I'm aware of standards. These guys work really hard as a team and individually. All questions answered no matter what. Management always available when needed. My dad has come back to his natural weight also with the lovely meals he gets. Dad's room is also nice and clean and tidy. Nothing is too much. Always a lovely cup of tea when needed. I would just like to say a big thank you. Amazing care home. And I can sleep at night knowing my dad gets 100% care.

My dad has surprised me by how well he has settled here and it's all thanks to the staff going above and beyond. His care is totally tailored to my dad's needs and mood. They have learned how to get the best out my dad and how to lift his mood when he is exceptionally grumpy. The activity coordinator is exceptional with everyone. All the staff are excellent and I can relax at home knowing how well my dad is getting cared for.
