My dad was a resident in Woodlands from May 2025 until he sadly passed away in May 2026. It was like a home from home for dad, all the staff were amazing, so caring and patient and treated him with dignity and respect. He was safe and secure, which was a weight of my mind, and he loved it, especially the meals, as he had a great appetite! The atmosphere was always friendly, like you were part of a big family. As a family we thank each and everyone of you for taking care of dad. If you are looking for a nursing home I would go and check it out, you won't be disappointed.

My dad spent a year in here before he passed away last month. I can't sing the staff's praises enough. I believe there were major changes a couple of years ago and I can't fault anything now! The staff were outstanding. Very professional and extremely caring. Nothing was too much bother for them....
My dad spent a year in here before he passed away last month. I can't sing the staff's praises enough. I believe there were major changes a couple of years ago and I can't fault anything now! The staff were outstanding. Very professional and extremely caring. Nothing was too much bother for them. The atmosphere was always upbeat and happy. There was a lovely vibe to the place as soon as you went through the doors. From receptionists to nursing and care staff, to laundry staff and cleaners, everyone was just so caring and friendly. My dad needed a lot of care but never wanted for anything. If he couldn't get out of bed any day, the staff would sit and read to him. If anyone is considering a care home for a relative, please go and see Woodlands, you won't be disappointed. Thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts.
