Review from Lisa C (Friend of Resident) published on 19 July 2022 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Woodlands Ridge Nursing Home is welcoming and friendly but most of all professional. Always talking and making sure everyone is okay. The rooms are clean. Linen is always done and packed away, great to see. Always a smile when I come here and that is lovely because sometimes you feel a bit down but they care for everyone in my eyes.

Review from Phil A (Son of Resident) published on 27 May 2022 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Lots of friendly staff around who are very attentive, caring, kind and patient. Nice lounge and garden facilities. The bed appears to face the wall rather than facing the window to look out, more pictures would be good. Any of the ratings marked other than excellent are due to not many visits.

The first visit - sat outside all the time so did not see inside rooms etc, but very friendly staff and we were well received - tea and cakes. It was my relative's 93rd birthday.

Overall Experience
Mum was transferred here from the hospital to recuperate. All the staff I have met or spoken to on the phone have always been cheerful and helpful, despite how busy they are. Mum is happy and settled and we feel very well cared for. Her room was decorated for her birthday and the chef baked a cake for our visit. Such helpful, welcoming people make the fact that Mum needs to be in a home much less upsetting and we are grateful for their care and attention. The home is clean and well decorated with a variety of spaces for residents to relax in.

Review from L A (Power of Attorney of Resident) published on 28 September 2021 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My Grandmother was transferred from Hospital to Woodlands Ridge Nursing Home. She spent the last 4 months of her life here.
When she moved in the manager was helpful and reassuring. All questions I had were answered quickly and moving in was a smooth transition.
The staff were always helpful, kind, caring and able to answer any practical questions or direct questions relating to health. The home were proactive in contacting the doctor as necessary and keeping me informed. Whenever I called up they were helpful and knew exactly the details on her care.

Towards the end of her life, the home were supportive and compassionate. They have some exceptional staff who kept our families wishes. If we had a question it was never too much trouble even though they were busy.

Review from P S (Son of Resident) published on 9 September 2021 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
From the moment mum arrived at Woodlands the staff have been excellent throughout. Everyone there speaks to mum and make her feel special and a part of her new environment. All the care team are professional, helpful and kind nothing is left to chance. The cleanliness, room size and 100% caring support is outstanding.
All the staff treat her with dignity and always try to get mum involved in shared tasks the staff carry out this makes mum feel needed and content. The food is plentiful and mealtimes and the many various activities all help mum to stay active and date. Arranging a visit is easy and are always booked so mum has a full and interesting day. The staff always have mum ready when I arrive so there is good communication within the whole team.
Safety is good and I feel that within the care team everyone is always looked after closely.

Review from Jackie M (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 May 2021 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
The staff were so lovely and caring. They really looked after my mother in her final days. The room was very pleasant and clean and my mother thought the food was wonderful. I would definitely recommend the home to others looking for a nursing home. Due to COVID, I am not able to comment on activities offered in normal times.

Review from Rachel C (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 October 2020 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My dad stayed here for a few weeks before his passing from vascular dementia.
The care he received was exactly what he needed, and the staff were all so kind to him, treating him with compassion and dignity every step of the way. They were also lovely to his family and genuinely cared about how we were feeling. The home was lovely and clean too. We take great comfort knowing Dad was so well cared for and that he was treated as he deserved.

Review from Fran H (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 August 2018 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Relinquishing care of a loved one to a third party was not easy and we just wanted somewhere safe and happy. We chose Woodlands Ridge because we believed in the " We work in your home" ethos and were very happy with what we had seen on our visit. The location, building and garden make it a wonderful place to be living and the room is bright and spacious with contemporary, comfortable furnishings. There are a variety of activities undertaken and staff work extremely hard to include everyone and keep them entertained. It is a shame that the level of staffing makes it difficult for carers to spend any extra time with the residents. They are constantly answering call buzzers and sometimes cannot respond as quickly as they would like. None-the-less they carry out their jobs with smiles and caring hearts. Considering nowhere was ever going to be like home I think we made the right choice. I just wish that profit margins were not an issue in the care home business.

Review from Derek G (Husband of Resident) published on 8 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
The home is well run, with staff and management committed to providing a service to the residents which is caring, friendly and thoughtful. Occasionally faults do occur, which, when pointed out, are rectified quickly. I am very happy having my wife here, and wouldn't wish her to be anywhere else.
