One of the best decisions I ever made! Mum moved into Woodlands when she was 98 with complex needs, including dementia. The team took the time to really get to know her and deliver the very best care. Will always be grateful to them and would highly recommend to others with similar needs.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. It is our great pleasure to care for your wife and I'm pleased that you are happy with the care we provide.
Very warm and welcoming - lovely homely atmosphere with staff and other residents. Felt that the care was always very good, lovely caring staff who were considerate and kind to residents. Visitors were warmly welcomed and made to feel part of this home. Excellent.

My sister and myself cannot thank the staff enough for their care and kindness shown to our Mum over the last 12 months. We were always welcome at any time to visit Mum and it did feel like her home. I would highly recommend Woodlands to anyone, such lovely, caring outstanding staff.

Woodlands Care Home was the best choice for my mum who on leaving hospital (after a 5-week stay) needed a couple of weeks respite care and some help rebuilding her confidence before returning to her own home to be cared for. From day one Mum received the best professional care by the friendly staff who looked after her, nothing was ever too much trouble. When I visited there was always staff around chatting and attending to residents, they were always very kind and respectful. Mum saw a GP from her surgery weekly, had her hair done and saw the chiropodist, all very important to getting her back on her feet. As it was Christmas time the residents had a party, Mum joined in, singing on the mic, the staff told me she had a beautiful voice. The biggest focus in the home is supporting everyone's individual needs in a "family" way and Woodlands certainly does that.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to post this review. It means a lot to all of us here at Woodlands.

The genuine care and affection from all the staff at Woodlands left us assured that Dad was safe and connected to the people around him. There is a real family atmosphere between the staff, residents and their relatives. It was always relaxed, personal and welcoming whenever we visited. We were always kept informed on everything that was going on and were impressed at the way all of Dad's medical and care needs were professionally handled. It's a lovely home.
Many thanks indeed for posting this review. It was a privilege to look after Dad in his final months.

I simply cannot fault the level of care that Nan received whilst staying at Woodlands. It was amazing, they really went above and beyond. The staff made her feel like part of the family, they were attentive and supportive, cared and loved her. Whenever I visited they always made me feel very welcome, answered any questions and provided support to my family during what was such a difficult time for us all, including Nan. I would highly recommend Woodlands to anyone who is looking for a care home for their loved one.

I would like to thank all the staff at Woodlands for looking after my mum. Over the last couple of years, they have been amazing, her care has been second to none. My mum was always content and happy and was made to feel at home and part of the Woodlands family. I was always made welcome anytime which I think is key to any good home. I would recommend Woodlands highly.

Woodlands provided top-class care for my Grandmother. I would visit monthly, staff would know who I was and were friendly and approachable. The staff showed care and compassion to my grandmother who spoke very highly of them and most importantly felt like part of a family. The centre provided extra...
painting, adding a sense of normality to my grandmother's routine. As an organisation, they took every step possible to ensure that visits could continue during restrictions in COVID. I would highly recommend it. They also provided my mother with advice in relation to the ongoing situation with my grandmother which was both expert and welcomed.
Thank you for posting this lovely review. It was a pleasure to look after your grandmother. She was a lovely lady and is missed by us all.

We visited Nan once a month. My wife and I took our daughter from being a newborn to when she was almost 2. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, always remembering who we were. It meant so much to my Nan that the staff would have conversations about us, and ask for updates on my daughter. This was so special to Nan, the care staff had for the things that were so precious to her.

My mum was a resident at Woodlands for nearly two years during which time she received outstanding care from a team of outstanding people. I could not have asked for more. I visited daily and spent many hours observing staff interacting with all residents in a caring and respectful manner with a...

I have never seen my mother-in-law so happy, she is always full of praise for the staff. She is always telling us on our visits how well she gets looked after etc, how she loves the food and the activities and everyone that works there. I have noticed their affection on my visits. The administration staff, carers and nurses are a credit to their profession and quick to let us know about any problems. It gives us peace of mind knowing she is happy and safe in a loving environment.

I have nothing but praise for the loving care my mum has received from all the staff at Woodlands. They have looked after her well-being after a stay in hospital and a broken hip. She loves them all and the new entertainments manager is a real treat for her. Never seen her so happy in a long while.
