The Review Score of 9.8 (maximum of 10) for Woodlands Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 22 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Woodlands Nursing Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.754 for Woodlands Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (213 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.754
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Woodlands Nursing Home is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 5.6 positive Reviews (28 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 6 Reviews ÷ 5.6 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Woodlands Nursing Home has a Review Score of 9.8 (9.754) from 22 Reviews
Review submitted from a Postal Card by Max M (Daughter of Resident) on Friday 2 March 2018. Relates to February 2018.
Woodlands foster a community of warmth, compassion, kindness and utmost care.
They treat all the residents like family and I felt so welcomed on every visit to my mother.
My mother, in her words, felt safe, comfortable and cosy in her room and I know she had the best of care I could wish for her in her final months.
Woodlands staff and team are incredible.
I could not have asked for better care for my mother.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by N L (Daughter of Resident) on Tuesday 9 January 2018. Relates to December 2017.
My father has been in Woodlands Nursing Home for eighteen months now as he suffers with dementia.
The staff are very professional, caring and friendly which has allowed Dad to settle in well.
The home provides activities most days which it's residents enjoy.
The home has undergone many structural improvements since Dad arrived.
The only negative comment I can add to this review is the shortage of space in the front room whilst visiting in the afternoon during the winter months.
During the summer the veranda offers space to sit and enjoy the sunshine.

I have been very happy with my care. I originally came in for palliative care but have now been sent home due to my recovery thanks to the outstanding nursing care. The staff are excellent and very obliging, nothing is too much trouble for them. Having a Pets as Therapy dog in the home is wonderful and the home has even allowed supervised visits from my dogs which means a great deal to me. I would highly recommend this home to anyone needing nursing care as it is homely and friendly.

Woodlands provided my mother with wonderful care. If I could rate the staff above excellent I would, they have been amazing. It is all the small things that have made the difference i.e. choices of books, time in the garden etc. Thank you to all so much for your support.

I arrived in a poor condition with the hospital having written me off, telling my daughter I'd never walk again. The care and medical support I've received is excellent and I now happily move around the home and outdoors unaided and with one walking stick. I highly recommend Woodlands to all.

I have found Woodlands to be an excellent nursing home. The management and staff are very friendly, extremely patient and are always willing and happy to help. They always make me feel welcome when I visit my sister-in-law but most importantly she is very happy and content in the home.

Mum has been resident at Woodlands for over 4 years now. It is a really excellent nursing home. Staff are very patient, kind and gentle with all the residents, and they are always warm and welcoming to friends and family.
Top quality care is provided 24/7 and there are regular outings and activities for those who wish to participate. The residents are always clean and tidy, meals are tasty and varied, and the home is clean, bright and welcoming. Our mum is very happy there and we have made some good friends there.

Approachable senior team (deputy manager, senior nurse and activities) always willing to discuss and help. Staff generally friendly and are hard working. Environment was a little 'shabby' but this is now being improved. The home has done all that it can to accommodate mum and help her adjust and settle.

Very pleased with the way my aunt has been looked after and overall level of support. Minor issue with her door shutting too quickly and on its own accord but this has now been sorted out and in general I would highly recommend the home to anyone.

The main reason for choosing Woodlands for my mum was the friendliness of the staff and the 'homely' feeling we got when we visited. I rate the staff and management most highly across the categories offered.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Janice N (Daughter of Resident) on Wednesday 16 December 2015. Relates to December 2015.
When we suddenly had to find a home for my mother in February, it was a very traumatic time. She had lived independently in a warden assisted flat prior to being admitted to hospital in January and had always managed her own affairs. We saw several homes, but the welcome we received at Woodlands and the friendliness of the staff there persuaded us that this was the best place for mum. I continued to be impressed with the staff. In spite of long shifts and the demands of residents, I have never heard a sigh or seen a 'raised eyebrow' in response to a need! Indeed, staff always respond quickly and cheerfully.
