Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All staff are extremely caring and hard working. They carry out their tasks with sensitivity and a consideration for the residents' dignity. We are confident that our family member is happy and contented in this very caring environment. She particularly enjoys participating in crafting and we are very
grateful that this facility is available to her.

Review from Sharon E (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I'm very happy with the care that my mother has received since moving in at the end of April this year. It's been reassuring for me to know that she is safe and well cared for here. The staff have really taken the time to get to know her in the last four months and have been very patient and supportive
not only towards her, but with me as well. It's been easy for me to build an excellent rapport with everyone at the home as I'm made to feel so welcome when I visit and am always kept up to date with her health and progress as well as being involved in her care plan reviews. There are stimulating daily activities taking place that she can join in with if she wants to, as well as trips out into the local community. I can highly recommend this care home.

My mother has been in Woodside for 2 years now. She seems very happy there, the staff are super, help her when she needs to be haloed, can't fault them her carer is very good with my mother, takes her out on a Wednesday to play bingo, takes her up the garden to help with planting flowers and other stuff.

Thank you for completing a review for Woodside and your complimentary words about the care your mum receives from the care staff, and for also mentioning that mum has access to community activities, which is very important to her wellbeing.

Since placing my mother into Woodside, I have experienced care at its greatest. All the staff have been so attentive and sympathetic to my mother and to us as a family. We have found that as a family, a lot of our concerns have been met through every member. I would like to congratulate everybody involved
with Woodside. First Class.

Review from Liz L (Niece of Resident) published on 22 January 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is a first-class nursing home. The staff take great pride in their work and care of the residents. My uncle has been in this home for several years and I can see from first-hand experience how well cared for he is. The food is varied and excellent. They make every effort to get the residents to
participate in activities. They are very accommodating to visitors/family members. If there is a medical problem they take action immediately and report back to the next of kin as soon as possible. The ratio of residents to staff is good. It does not smell like care homes I have experienced do.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.284)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.284) out of 10 for Woodside House Nursing & Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 4 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 5.000 for Woodside House Nursing & Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 5
  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 4.284 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Woodside House Nursing & Residential Home is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 22 registered maximum number of service users is 4.4. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.4 = 0.909
  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.
