Day space comprises 2 lounges in addition to a brand new conservatory / dining room in November 2023 overlooking a mature garden with wheelchair-accessible patio and lawns.

We attended the Woodlands 'fine dining' evening on 24th October 2018. The effort made by all of the staff was fantastic! They couldn't have done more and we enjoyed it immensely!

This relates to the fine dining evening organised by the Woodlands staff.
It was a very enjoyable evening with staff providing their usual helpful, cheerful and fun personalities fully into their roles.
The food was delicious and presented well.
It was a great success and appreciate being able to
spend quality time with Mother in such a special way.
Well done Woodlands.

Our mum has been at the Woodlands Care Centre for only a couple of months. We have found all staff welcoming and care always provided as if extended family. Our mum is always clean and tidy and seems happy in her environment which means an awful lot to us given her poor health requirements. Meals are
always appetising and everyone is comfortable in their lovely rooms. As it's early days, we can only comment on our first impressions, which were a very warm and welcoming care providers.

Thank you so much. I will pass your kind words onto the Care Team, I know they will really appreciate it.

Mum was admitted to hospital, the care she received at Woodlands Care Centre was exemplary and the staff are friendly and always welcoming. Mum always looked clean with clean clothes on. I cannot in anyway fault the care and attention mum received. The staff working at the Woodlands are a credit to
the profession.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has almost spent a year here. The centre has always welcomed our family and we can visit mum as often as we can anytime. There is a lovely family feel about the home and it's residents. The accommodation is comfortable and warm and cosy. Mum is able to make her own choices when possible and as a
family, we can communicate with the staff at any time. We are happy at all times.

Review from J P (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 November 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mother was transferred to Woodlands following a fall and a subsequent hip operation. She was not able to communicate well due to a deterioration in her dementia and physical frailty. From the moment we arrived, all the staff, without exception, were very welcoming and empathetic to her situation.
Nothing was too much trouble and the simple thoughtful things they anticipated both for her needs and ours was exceptional. These people we have only just met but due to their caring nature became very dear to us during this sad and difficult time. There was a lovely family feel to this home which reminds us that people make a home, not buildings. We cannot thank them enough for being there for us all.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff were all caring and I could not wish for better care even in a more expensive home.
The staff were above and beyond what I expected.
The rooms were well kept and it was a very peaceful setting.
I would certainly recommend it to anyone.
They could not have been more helpful.
It was an
enjoyable experience.

Review from Reg B (Husband of Resident) published on 7 July 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff were excellent, very caring to my wife and supportive to myself and my family.


My wife was confined to bed, unable to feed herself or speak. The staff monitored her on a regular basis and assisted with feeding and all requirements. The rooms were basic, but adequate, nothing was too much

trouble, I know because I was present many hours every day.


I would be happy to recommend Woodlands Macclesfield Care Home.

Review from David P (Stepson of Resident) published on 16 May 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My stepfather had been a resident at Woodlands Care Centre for twelve months following a stroke which left him in need of full-time care. The staff at the home have been tremendous both in the care given to my father and the attention to our family with difficulty of some living in Australia, therefore
a different time zone. My father's health gradually failed and sadly died in their care but the attention which my father received was second to none with extremely loving care from management, carers and particularly nursing staff who took time out to visit him whilst having a spell in hospital. I can't recommend the staff highly enough.

The lady I knew who was in the Woodlands died in January 2016. However throughout the 2 1/2 years she was in the home she was well cared for and I had no complaints.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.922)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.922) out of 10 for Woodlands Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.922 for Woodlands Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (107 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 116 Ratings = 4.922
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Woodlands Care Centre is based on 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 10 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
