Woodside Hall is a unique and beautiful Nursing Home located in an area of outstanding beauty in Wootton on the Isle of Wight, it offers specialist nursing care for older people in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

Wildlife in particular the iconic Red Squirrel can be seen daily outside the home in the vast gardens foraging for food. Many of the home's rooms which are en suite offer spectacular views over the Solent and beyond where residents can sit and watch the world go by or go out into extensive gardens and spend time with their loved ones on beautiful hot summer days.

Woodside Hall originally a fantastic Victorian building was renovated in 2011 creating a modern care facility with amazing care capabilities and a little of the old Victorian charm kept in some of the communal areas, many of the other rooms within the home look out over either gardens, forested areas or the Solent.

The Nursing and Care Team at Woodside Hall are well established and highly skilled many have worked together for many years. During its last CQC inspection in October 2018, Woodside Hall was awarded an 'Outstanding' for care which they are extremely proud of.

The home is staffed 24 hours a day by experienced qualified Nurses who plan and oversee the care team ensuring that standards continue to remain high.

Mum went to Woodside Hall for respite care after needing surgery for a hip fracture. She is 92 and was totally independant and self caring before her fall and wanted to be back home as soon as possible Making the arrangements for respite was simple enough - they had a room available (which may not always
be the case) that fit the dates and were able to extend her stay by one week when the rehabilitation team were concerned about her progress.
The place was well laid out and always clean when we visited. Her room was large with an en suite shower room and wonderful views over the lawn onto the Solent. The staff were always kind and courteous and went out of their way to be helpful. They worked alongside a rehabilitation team to improve her confidence and mobility and a care agency that will help support her now she is home.

Staff are very kind and caring, supporting not only the resident but family. The property is spotlessly clean and modern- more like a hotel than a nursing home. All staff are professional and treat the resident with the utmost respect, always with a caring word and a smile. Resident is monitored almost
continuously. Staff go out of their way to sit and comfort both resident and family. Nothing is too much trouble.

You can not believe how grateful we were when Woodside took in our parents in December 2023! Our Dad's health had taken a real turn for the worse and we had no idea how we were going to cope. Within no time they had moved in and our Mum and Dad were able to have a lovely social Christmas dinner in the
lounge. Mum struggled for some time after Dad died, it was hard for her to lose the man she had loved since she was 16 years old. But with all the staffs help, kindness and fun, she rallied and was able to adjust to her new life. We can not thank them enough for how they all worked together to give our Mum a fun filled, comfortable lovely home for her final phase of life. We shall always be grateful for the way they also supported us as a family. All the staff are amazing.

I have found the staff exemplary. They are warm and caring and I have peace of mind that my sister is well taken care of. Any time I have questions or requests they are actioned to my full satisfaction. Communication works well and I am kept informed of anything relevant to her care and personal needs.
The locality is lovely and my sister's room is pleasantly decorated and has a peaceful green and water view. I can't recommend Woodside more, whenever I visit I am welcomed and I can see first-hand the excellent care she gets.

My late mother was in Woodside Hall for just one week, receiving palliative care. The nursing home was a really lovely place for my mother to spend her last week. The staff were excellent and provided the highest standards of care. Visitors were made to feel very welcome. I felt I was treated compassionately
at a very difficult time.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our father was welcomed to Woodside Hall in November 2023.
During his time at Woodside, we could not have been more impressed with the care and support he received.
Everyone was so friendly and professional, maintaining his dignity at all times. He was always asked his opinions and was treated like
a person, not just an old man.
Staff took time to talk with him, listening to his stories and talking about his favourite subjects.
The meals were home cooked and he always had choices, including cooked breakfasts.
His room was spotless clean, as were the communal areas.
We were always informed of any change in his condition and the staff were often his voice when dealing with outside medical professionals. He was made to feel safe and secure and we couldn't have asked for any more.
Our Dad was happy at Woodside Hall and all the staff helped to keep a smile on his face. Their kindness made a difference.

I couldn't ask for a more caring and professional environment for my mother. The staff are outstanding and show such kindness, they are all jolly and fun creating a wonderful home for my mother who loves it there. I have not seen my mother so calm, so relaxed and happy for many years. Her previous years
home alone were stressful and she was agitated and anxious, now she is happy and relaxed. Thank you to all the staff.

My father came to Woodside last September. He has been treated with kindness and compassion. His care is first class. All the staff are professional and treat him with respect and dignity. They communicate with him and us as a family. My father who is now 90 is thriving at Woodside. His needs are met
consistently and I can only thank everyone at the home for their care of him.

Over nine months ago my husband was placed in Woodside Hall Nursing Home at Wootton on the Isle of Wight. At first he was unhappy at not being allowed home, however, thanks to the care, nursing and other services provided for him, he is now happier and in good spirits. Families are made welcome by all
staff and they help us to keep our relationships in good shape. On the 8th of June, we had a party for my husband's 90th birthday and many guests attended.

My mother has been in Woodside Hall for six and a half years now with advanced dementia, but not in her early days there. She was a very unlikely candidate for a home as she was fiercely independent, always this was respected by all in the home and she was treated with respect and dignity.
Special
mention for the activities organiser who has got her involved in so many great sessions and is just amazing with them all.

Overall, our experience has been good. Dad is settled in now at Woodside Hall. He is forging relationships with staff and has benefited from the kindness and care shown by all.
As a family, we have built good, productive relationships with the nursing and care staff, for which we are very grateful.
Dad's needs are at the centre of the care.

I first came into contact with Woodside Hall earlier in the year when one of my clients moved in. I was very impressed with everything (staff, cleanliness etc) I now have another client coming in and I am equally impressed with everything. The staff are kind, helpful and willing to listen to anything
you need to say concerning my client. The building is clean and so lovely and doesn't have that typical 'care home smell'! I actually recommend Woodside Hall to his family.

Mum is extremely happy at Woodside Hall and the care and support is excellent. The initial meeting with the House Manager was friendly, polite, informative and very professional in all aspects. All the staff are always smart and well presented and welcoming when we go to visit. Communication is very
good when any incidents occur, we are always contacted and updated immediately. Mum thoroughly enjoys the 2 home-cooked hot meals a day and any special dietary requests are accommodated if possible. Staff pop in regularly to see and chat with mum and even at night, she is checked hourly. To have mum safe, happy and being well looked after is our top priority as a family and we feel that Woodside Hall ticks all of these boxes.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.856)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.856) out of 10 for Woodside Hall is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.856 for Woodside Hall is calculated as follows: ( (204 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 236 Ratings = 4.856
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Woodside Hall is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
