Woodlands View Care Home

Following a couple of minor strokes and subsequent falls since November 2025, my mother was discharged from Hospital at short notice into a temporary room at Woodlands View for a couple of weeks to increase her mobility prior to being returned back to her home environment.

Surprisingly she actually enjoyed the experience and was grateful for the lovely meals (compared to the meagre rations she received in hospital!)

All of the staff were so caring and helpful, building up a great rapport with the residents and always welcoming to family visitors.

Even after leaving Mum was invited back to attend an Elvis impersonator concert to catch up with friends she made in there and those who had looked after her.

I cannot recommend Woodlands View highly enough.

The most important feature of this home is the love and compassion that the staff show towards the residents. It is also a very open and friendly place for relatives and other visitors

The service my husband Mick received was 100%. I could not have wished for more. They treated Mick like a family member, and I think that your staff were 100%

A friendly, well organised home where staff are helpful and friendly and always willing to help with any concerns.

I usually attend at mealtimes which are good. The staff make sure everyone is fed even if they can't feed themselves.

Mum went into Woodlands for a respite stay, which we extended because she clearly benefitted from the input we were unable to provide at home. The consistent rota of carers was warm and welcoming to Mum and the whole family from the outset. Nothing was too much bother - the cheery, good- humoured way things are done there made a difficult set of circumstances seem easier. They took a keen interest in her wellbeing and were very perceptive about her needs. She, initially, had reservations about not having an en suite, which is the only downside, but that was increasingly irrelevant as her stay progressed. When mum had a medical incident requiring an ambulance, it was reassuring to have such a compassionate and efficient carer stay with her all the way through. Our experience has been entirely positive and I wish I could name the individuals who made it so.

Although mum was only at the home for a very short time the staff showed empathy, compassion and kindness and were wonderful with her. Within days they had her up, washed and dressed and sitting in a chair - something hospital staff had said would never happen. Mum was looking forward to having her hair done, nails painted and seeing the chiropodist and after many months was feeling more positive about life which is completely down to the staff. Sadly she passed suddenly and didn't get to experience the leisure activities at the home which were also excellent. A special thank you also to the Managers who went above and beyond helping in the battle to get mum discharged from an out of county hospital and the support that they offered us as a family.

Very happy with the care my husband gets. Always plenty of staff on hand and always polite. Good food and activities for the residents. I know he will always be cared for and any problems they contact me.

My husband is well looked after. Management listen to concerns and try to implement suggestions. Activities run centrally are good.

If I were to need to live in a care home myself, I would choose Lucas House at Woodlands and I know that I would be happy.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the care, compassion and dignity shown to my mum during such a tender and difficult time. From the moment she arrived at Woodlands View, it was clear she was in the most loving hands. The manager is nothing short of amazing, kind, professional and deeply devoted to ensuring every resident is treated with warmth and respect. Her entire team is wonderful, every carer, nurse and staff member has treated Mum with gentle attention and me with kindness and support.

The toom is always very clean as well as the washin facilities...

Great staff excellent care and patience carried out. My mind was at ease when I left. Highly recommend to anyone having doubts. Proper care home! Communication is also very easy. The facilities are well kept

It is a very nice place with lovely kind caring staff. my grandad loves it Would definitely recommend others needing a similar care service.

Lucas House where mum is happy and stable. Would be good if one carer could speak the same language, especially as here and a couple of staff in the other houses, would give me piece of mind knowing mum could talk and convey her concerns. We visit daily, however, it must still get lonely for her. 3 staff members in particular are fabulous and we are so happy with the care they give her.

My husband was recently in the Care Home and myself and family couldn't have been more pleased with them. The staff were wonderful and very caring and we were very appreciative of the standard of care my husband received.

The staff are all very helpful and pleasant, they relate well to the residents, and genuinely seem to care. I like the idea of having different houses for different levels of care, and the fact residents are taken to different houses to meet residents for coffee morning.

Staff are very good and caring.

I find the care home a very pleasant place. The staff are always very friendly and polite. The friend that I visit is perfectly happy to be there, he is at home.

My husband has been at Woodlands View Nursing Home for a year now. Having cared for him previously I fully understand how much care goes into keeping him healthy and clean. Care is expensive, but when the fee is broken down it is less than £8 an hour. I visit twice every day and he is always clean and quite content. Having Parkinson's and dementia he needs a lot of looking after. I love the day that I can visit any time. When he arrived last December he had been in and out of hospital and was in a bad state when he arrived. The care home has got him back to a normal weight and he can now live a lot longer because of the wonderful care he gets.
