Woodleigh is very clean and homely. The manager is a lovely lady and is always available to speak to if you need her, as are all the staff.
Very happy with mums care.
My mother has not had the care expected at previous placement. Looked around various other homes. Arrival on visiting bought myself and daughter to tears. Such a welcoming place. All 4 areas are used with off shoots for personal space or family visits. All areas have drinks, cakes, fruit around. The staff very polite, friendly, approachable always look happy. Clients look relaxed, well cared for etc. Clients also have option of going on holidays like a real family. The garden is a well maintained relaxed area. In addition pond, waterfall with fish, nice to sit and relax. Day out and visits in local community, weekly board of choices and activities that happen all are involved. Not forgetting family days catered for with garden parties, harvest festivals etc. Weekly meeting for choir all enjoy, also helps client with lung problems. The choir is of such that its in various national projects. My mother has certainly changed looking her best in years and less time in hospital.

Meet the Team (1)

I feel that here at Woodleigh we put emphasis on each resident as an individual, promoting their choices and enabling them to maintain links with the wider community. There is a wide activities programme and all staff work together to encourage people to continue their long-term hobbies and take up new ones.
I believe the only way to achieve the very best care, is to have a well-trained and dedicated staff team, all of whom possess all the core values and beliefs that I and the company feel are essential to be a part of the Woodleigh Care Home. This is achievable through robust recruitment processes and by providing up-to-date, relevant training programmes. I enjoy working together to provide the most homely and best care experience for your loved ones.
