Overall Experience
I have found that all members of staff have been polite, helpful and very professional in their approach to their work. This is always a difficult standard to maintain, as the variation of work can vary extremely frequently, requiring a change to tasks.

Review from Emma C (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 December 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
A recent resident as dad entered this lovely environment a couple of weeks ago. Obviously a very emotional time and a new experience for me as not had any dealings with residential homes really.
The staff are all amazing every single one is just a delight and immediately the atmosphere we walked into was warm and loving. My dad is treated with dignity and care and this makes a very hard process a million times easier!!!

Review from Dougie w (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 24 November 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
This is an excellent care home with attentive, friendly and helpful staff.
The accommodation is of a high standard and patient support is first class.
Since my mother in law is bedridden, I cannot comment on activities within the home since she does not leave her room.
I would suggest that the main internal doors, which are self closing, are a bit noisy. When they shut, the upper floor reverberates and it might be that softer closure mechanisms should be considered.
Car parking for visitors can be problematic. The entrance to the main car park is narrow, bordered by large stonework and involves a tight turn from the entrance driveway. There are parking spaces on the driveway but these are normally occupied (presumably by staff).

Overall Experience
We can only wish that our father was in Woodlands Ridge Nursing Home for a much longer period.
He was well cared for, treated with kindness and happy to be involved in all activities.

Review from Sharon R (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 October 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Mum was transferred here from the hospital. All the staff are so kind, caring, professional, friendly and welcoming to both Mum and us. Mum is so well looked after and with such dignity. The staff are also here for us which is brilliant because it can be quite daunting when a loved one goes into a home. We are so pleased Mum was transferred here and couldn't wish for more. Mum and her room are always immaculately clean. There is a variety of activities which is inclusive of everyone's abilities. The food is amazing and there is a good choice and the staff have time to feed Mum. It's a beautiful home with lovely rooms and communal areas beautiful gardens and an enclosed patio area. The communication is excellent and we're kept up to date with everything and everyone is so approachable and happy to help with anything. The home is very organised and well-run in a lovely, friendly, relaxed and homely environment. Attention to detail is amazing here.

Review from Lori C (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 April 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My father was discharged for assessment from hospital to Woodlands Ridge Nursing Home. The whole team provided exemplary care during his final days. He was treated with dignity, compassion and respect. He was in a large room overlooking beautiful gardens and was kept comfortable with tender loving care. All members of staff we came into contact with behaved impeccably towards Dad and us. When we visited, Staff Members from the Manager down popped by to say hello and update us re his circumstances. They were on hand for us too when needed. The home has its own chef and the food provided looked very good. There were choices too. The staff had time to feed the residents. Dad always looked clean and shaven, even during his last few days. Our overriding memory will be of his 90th birthday celebration there. A huge cake was prepared by the chef and we were offered copious cups of tea and refreshments. Visiting was anytime. We were privileged to have had the last 2 months of his life here.

My mother-in-law has been here for over four weeks now, she is very content and has settled in so well. From our point of view, as a family, we couldn't be more pleased with the care and attention that she is receiving at Woodlands Ridge Nursing Home. The home is so welcoming and friendly and the staff are all so caring. Thank you to everyone at Woodlands Ridge Nursing Home, we couldn't wish for better care for my mother-in-law.
