Fabulous care home, Mum has settled in really well & it's such a relief knowing that she's being well cared for. The Staff are all wonderful & treat Mum with dignity & respect. We visit Mum regularly & all staff are always polite & friendly to us all. The activity team are fantastic & there's always activities going on, which Mum enjoys. I cannot find fault with the care home & being a care home manager myself I would raise an issue if there were any.
Thank you for such a lovely review, I will share your kind words with all the staff.

Since my dad's move to Woodside, he has gone from have an existence, to having a life with meaning, hapiness and hope. Before we both moved to Norwich, just over 3 months ago, our lives had been filled with stress, grief and a bleak outlook to our future. We both now feel fully settled in our respective homes and due to the wonderful staff, he has a life that is not only safe, but enjoyable and interesting. Both his mental and physical needs are prioritised on a daily basis, this is due to wonderful, empathetic, caring staff and a system that ensures things run so smoothly. We have peace of mind and hope and you cannot realise how much it means to us both!!
Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review of our home. It has been an absolute pleasure to get to know Dad and his loved ones.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone at Woodside for making Christmas so special for Mum! Arranging for the mini-donkeys to visit Mum in her room was amazing and really seemed to bring back her sparkle! It encouraged her to get up again and meant that I was able to join her for Christmas dinner in the dining room. Thank you so much.
Thank you for such a lovely review, it was a great Christmas. I will pass your lovely comments on to the staff.

My mother stayed at Woodside Care Home for a short respite in August 2025. As her daughter, I found the experience disappointing and concerning. Staff assessed her as having full mental capacity. Yet, she was later found to be pre-diabetic and showing signs of anxiety and memory loss - clear indicators of early cognitive decline. After three days of being anxious, she left the facility on her own. I was not informed of her decision or departure, and only learned she was home afterward. It's deeply troubling that a resident would be discharged without notifying her next of kin, who holds full power of attorney. I hope this feedback prompts improvements in communication and safeguarding protocols.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We're sorry you found your Mothers stay at Woodside House Care Home disappointing. Our General Manager took time to understand your Mothers concerns and understood that she found it to soon to be in a home with nursing care. An assessment was completed in line with the Mental Capacity Act, it was found your mother was able to understand, retain, weight up the risk of being at home and communicate her choice. The home made sure your mother was supported during her return home by another family member who was in the country. We checked in with the family member a couple of days later and where pleased to hear she had settled in well and was happy back home. Barchester's Customer feedback team.

Both my parents were residents of Woodside House. My father passed away at the end of last year & my mother continues to live there. It is a wonderfully caring place with lovely facilities but more importantly caring and invested people with the manager at the hub of these values and behaviours. My father was restricted to bed and was care for and supported in all his needs and my mother always describes everyone as lovely & is happy!
Thank you for such lovely feedback, I will ensure is it shared with all the staff.
Outstanding service so helpful and friendly give you all the support that you need 10/10. Can't thank Woodside enough for the support and care they give for mum (thank you).

My name is Sarah, and I am proud to be the General Manager here at Woodside House.
I am an experienced nurse and care home manager, having spent many years with both the NHS and Barchester. I love working for Barchester and leading the team at Woodside House in the care and support of residents to provide first-class service that meets their individual needs. We have a truly lovely home and a fantastic team.
My vision is to create a 'home from home' environment, where residents are actively involved in organising events, making decisions, and planning their care.
Our door is always open to visitors who want to experience our family-friendly atmosphere, and I am always ready to speak to anyone who is starting to explore their future care needs.

My name is Maria, and I am delighted to introduce myself as the new Deputy Manager at Woodside House Care Home.I am a General Nurse and a naturally positive, happy person with a genuine caring nature. Originally from Romania, I am now well settled into life here in Norfolk.
My journey with Woodside House began in 2003 when I joined as a Senior Carer. I registered with the NMC as a nurse in 2006 and progressed to Unit Manager on Memory Lane. In 2018, I moved to the NHS, where I spent eight years working on Dementia Assessment wards. Recently, I felt it was time to return to where my heart has always been—back to Woodside House.
I hope to bring my skills, knowledge, and experience to support the team, especially newer staff, and to continue providing dedicated, compassionate care to our residents. I aim to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who call Woodside House their home.

I am responsible for ensuring that all of my residents receive the highest standards of care and are treated with the level of dignity and respect that I would want for my family to receive.

We love welcoming new residents and helping them to join our little community. Each new person brings their own personality to the mix, and it is wonderful to see everyone making new friends as they settle in.

My name is Kim and I am proud to run the kitchen team here at Woodside House.
I am responsible for providing a top class dining experience and ensuring that the menus reflect the high standards that every resident should enjoy. I am constantly speaking with residents to find out what foods they prefer, the way they like things presented and how I can make every meal a great experience.
Working with the care staff to ensure each resident's unique dietary requirements are met, is just one of the ways that my kitchen team support the health and well-being of our residents. I spend time with each new resident to ensure that my team and I are aware of their preferences and favourites when they first move in to Woodside.
