Woodside Hall Nursing Home

In the last year, my wife has continued to receive the very best care and attention from all the staff. This has been a difficult time for everyone with all the continuing restrictions quite rightly imposed and maintained for the health and safety of residents and staff. With an easing of visiting rules, limited contact with relatives does make life a little more ''normal'' but we all have a long way to go yet. I commend all concerned in the running of the home for their concern and care for the residents and long may it continue.

I have found Woodside Hall Nursing Home very comfortable, everyone very friendly and helpful. My partner seems very happy and always looks clean and tidy.

Woodside Hall is a lovely, friendly nursing home with fantastic, friendly, professional staff. They were fantastic in settling my elderly father into the home during very difficult COVID19 times. My father likes it here and is extremely happy. The staff know the residents very well and there has always been excellent communication with the family.

My dad is being cared for by Woodside Nursing Home and I am very happy with the care he is receiving. The staff are fantastic and always happy to help answer my questions. Overall, Dad is comfortable and settled here.

Find all staff and management excellent.

The care is very good, lovely atmosphere and all the staff are excellent. The home manager does a brilliant job keeping everything in order and up to date and is always very caring and helpful. Above all the main thing is that everyone is happy in their jobs and nothing is ever too much trouble.

Woodside Hall is a very good home, lots of activities going on, especially when it is a special occasion like Christmas etc. they are excellent making sure it is a special day. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the food always looks good, all-round it is a very nice home.

Mummy has been cared for so well since day one. She is happy and loves the staff. I feel she is safe and supported, which is so important when I cannot care for her myself or be with her as I would like to be. As I have only been to one room so far, I cannot really comment on the building's facilities or cleanliness but I assume it is at least of a very good standard.

Woodside Hall cared for my mum from March, until her death in September. The care she received was exemplary, always given with kindness and professionalism. I can’t thank all the staff there enough for the time they spent making sure my mum was comfortable and well cared for. She couldn’t have been in a better place. Thanks to all.

I cannot praise all the staff at Woodside Hall enough. They cared for both my parents since December 2019 - my father until his death at the end of January and my mother until the beginning of May when she also died. Both deaths were unrelated to COVID-19. During their time at the home, they were extremely well cared for both physically and mentally as were family member visitors especially at the end of life. The precautions taken when COVID-19 hit were exemplary and resulted in the home remaining completely free of virus as far as I am aware. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

It's nice to know that Dad is in a home where he is happy, safe and comfortable. Having familiar staff that know and respond well to him is so important as is the clean, safe environment of the home. The difficult times of the pandemic have highlighted that the main concern for the home has been to protect the residents and staff and to provide as much safety for them as possible. Lockdown of the home was quick, with staff covering shifts to avoid having agency staff in and a decision not to take in untested hospital patients. These measures gave us as a family reassurance in what has been such a difficult time. We have been able to stay in contact with Dad throughout and the home is now taking measures so that we can visit in a safe, socially distanced way. The one thing that stood out for us is the thought given by individual staff who have taken in activities that they know Dad likes doing, taking him for walks outside, playing games with him in his room and having time for a chat.

The food is good, and care is taken to provide for any special dietary requirements. Nursing staff are good at keeping relatives informed in the case of any illness. Under normal circumstances, visitors are welcomed, and now special arrangements have been made to allow safe if limited visiting.

The staff are excellent and are welcoming and helpful. Woodside is clean and has a pleasant atmosphere with no unpleasant aromas. Excellent management keeps Woodside at the top of its field. I would recommend woodside to anybody looking to place an elderly member of your family who needs care.

Very welcoming as soon as you come in the premises. My Mother is looked after extremely well. The food is varied and prepared with care. Staff are friendly and caring. Everything is always spotless.

The home has a lovely atmosphere.

I have found all the facilities excellent and can not add any other comments.

It's a nice place to stay.

Woodside Hall is a lovely nursing home. My father-in-law receives wonderful care. The staff are friendly, caring and considerate of patient's and visitor's needs. It has a modern, clean but homely feel with a lovely atmosphere.

Nice, friendly, homely environment.
