Woodlands Nursing Home

I am really pleased with the care given to mum and she is so happy here, she engages with all activities and is no longer lonely as she was at home. The care staff are all so lovely and constant interaction with all residents. I am so much more relaxed knowing she is safe.

I can honestly say I can't find fault with Woodlands. Mum is looked after first class. We looked at many homes, of which this was definitely the best, and we haven't been disappointed. The staff are brilliant - so much patience and with a smile!

We are so grateful for the excellent care provided to our uncle. He has thrived over the past 6 years and is so much happier + healthier. Woodlands is his home and the staff are his family.

Our uncle has been at Woodlands for six years and has received the very best of care. He has joined in with the many and varied activities with enthusiasm. The nursing staff and carers have encouraged him to be as active as he is able to be and managed his complex needs with care and sensitivity. He is very happy and settled, we are so grateful for this exceptionally well run home. Thank you.

I cannot fault the staff. Mum has been treated with respect and dignity since she has been at Woodlands. The staff go above and beyond to make her comfortable and always treat her lovingly. Would 100% recommend.

I cannot speak more highly of Woodlands, they are caring both to the residents and their families and relatives. Nothing is too much for them; they make relatives welcoming, and the gentleness and care they give to residents are of the highest you could ever wish for.

The home has a lovely relaxed atmosphere. It is well cared for and clean and tidy.The staff are attentive, friendly and professional.There are regular activities available with many visits from entertainers, musicians and magicians and pets. I feel my mum is well cared for and well fed. I always feel welcome when I come to visit my mum whether she is in her room, the garden or the common room.

As Aunt's family we are very happy with how she is looked after. The staff and manager are so attentive and caring to my Aunt. We are assured that she is well cared for. We are very pleased with this choice of nursing home.

From the very first day we knew this was the home that we wanted mum to stay. It was exceptionally friendly, welcoming and looked and smelt so clean. Nothing is too much trouble for anybody. The food is good and the residents have plenty of activities to keep them occupied. There is nothing that I can fault, mum is so well looked after and we are so happy to leave her in their care.

Excellent care, mum is very happy at Woodlands. The staff are caring and look after mum well. We always feel welcome when we visit and the staff are very flexible and work with us. Food is great and mum gets to choose from a menu that is presented in a way she can understand. All the activities that the home offers keep mum stimulated and interested. We enjoy the fortnightly newsletter which shows what mum has been getting up to and keep us well informed.

Friendly staff, nice food, and lots of activities to do in the day. Nice chatting to other residents, especially like the pretty decorations.

My mum has been in Woodlands Nursing Home for over 9 months now, and I have found it to be a really lovely home. The staff are all amazing and always has mum's best interests at heart. They look after her well and as so kind and caring. Nothing is too much trouble. Mum is upset or just needs reassurance that we are ok. They will ring us to put her mind at rest. There is activities every day to stimulate the residents and they have people coming in to entertain them. It has a wonderful friendly atmosphere. They really look after the families too.

Not an experience I have found at other nursing homes. Thank you to all at Woodlands.

My husband was in Woodlands from May 2023 until April 2025 after he had suffered severe heart failure. He was treated with great respect and dignity. He was given first class care and support and commented every time I visited on how well he was looked after. The staff were always cheerful and caring. He enjoyed his meals and complimented the catering staff saying that he'd never had a poor meal there. Although he didn't join in activities, he did enjoy a few music sessions from time to time. His room was cosy and he always spoke to the staff as they passed by. His room was kept spotlessly clean. With continued physiotherapy, good medication and encouragement he made remarkable progress and was able to leave Woodland and return home on April 16th 2025. We would like to thank everyone who made this possible - the management, carers and nursing staff. We are extremely grateful to you all. I would not hesitate in recommending Woodlands. And thank you for all the cups of coffee!!

Mum never (through her choice) used all the facilities & activities available to her. However, ALL the staff were wonderful to her.

I have recommended Woodlands to several other people based on the excellent care given to Mum over the last five years and will continue to do so. I believe Mum would not have been with us for as long as she was, had it not been for the excellent level of care. I have always found the staff and management very helpful and quick to respond to any issue, no matter how small. Thank you to all.

When Mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer's vascular dementia and psychosis in February 2020, her psychiatrist told us she would lose her mental capacity to enjoy her surroundings, perhaps to know her family, within 6 months. My family all believe it is testament to the care she receives at Woodlands that she is still able to enjoy her life more than 2 years later.

On behalf of my family, I would like to thank all the staff at Woodlands Nursing Home for the outstanding care that he received. They were so kind, caring and compassionate and provided such amazing support not only to my father but to all the family towards the end of his life. The end-of-life care was exceptional and we are very grateful. Thank you.

My uncle is very happy at Woodlands Nursing Home, we are so grateful for all the care and attention he receives. We are particularly pleased that he is now able to walk again with all the exercise and encouragement. All the staff are friendly and helpful and obviously care deeply about the best interests of the residents. Meal times and activities are the highlights of my uncle's day. Thank you.

We are delighted with the level of care that my mother receives. The management and staff are excellent and very affectionate. My mother is very well settled, happy, and comfortable with the friendly faces she sees on a daily basis.
