Woodside Care Home

My Mum Moved To Woodside During Covid Isolation Period. From That First Day Woodside Have Gone Above And Beyond. I Truely Believe My mum would not still Be Here if not for the care she has Received from the staff at Woodside. Dementia is a cruel disease but we are So lucky to have them at Woodside. They are now our extended family and mum loves where she is. Thanks so much!

I think that have been visible improvements recently. There are a lot more activities and small outings for the residents and overall a satisfactory level of care. For me: I have raised concern before in regards to my mums personal hygiene and have repeatedly left toiletries in her room that consistently disappear?

My mum is well cared for by all the staff in Woodside , as a family we feel welcomed into their home, when visiting mum we use the little cafe which is really clean and well stocked, mum thinks she is in a real cafe. We were allowed to decorate mums room to her taste with the help of staff who went out their way to accommodate us , her room is cosy and warm with a lovely view over the golf course and road where mum enjoys looking out for familiar people running and enjoying their daily activities. On the occasions when they have a entertainment afternoon all the residents and families are welcomed and they usually have juice and biscuits or cakes for a wee treat.l am so pleased my mum is in a happy place where she is safe and well looked after and it puts all our minds at rest. Thank you to all the staff at Woodside.

Overall experience for mum is very poor and has resulted in formal complaints being lodged.At this time we are awaiting updates on many fronts ranging from personal care to overall welfare and safety concerns raised at the point of mums arrival at her new home.At this point I have been informed that the above is being investigated by a new management team within the company.

Recent staff changes has caused a bit of upset, hope this is resolved soon, new manager showing improvement, activities information not consistent.

As a family, we are very happy with all aspects of Dad's life in Woodside Care Home. We are very confident Dad's health needs are monitored and acted upon very quickly. The residents have lots of activities on offer, we enjoy participating in these and seeing how much Dad enjoys concerts and outings or simply going to the cafe or garden. Staff are friendly and offer help if we need it. We think very highly of the service provided.

My mother has only been a resident for a few months but the care and attention she receives is second to none all the staff are so friendly and attentive, also the activities that are available are brilliant. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, they also have other private sitting rooms you can go to.

We were kept well informed at all times of how he was doing, and when we visited during this time, we were well looked after.

Despite a couple of issues arising my family has had nothing but positive feelings regarding our mother's care. In the case of the aforementioned issues neither of which was the fault of the staff we were informed by phone immediately, and were reassured that adequate steps had already been taken to address these. The staff is collectively excellent although we have been impressed with the particularly touching attention shown by certain individuals which has been heartening to see and is very encouraging. When the media places so much focus on "Horror Stories" about poor standards in care homes I am pleased to be telling people the opposite about Woodside.

I can't thank everyone enough for all their hard work, care and compassion.

From our first contact with the staff, they have been helpful, informative and caring. All staff members, from managers, carers, domestic and catering staff are friendly, welcoming and cheerful anytime any of our family have been at Woodside. My mum demonstrates a real affection for staff who are very attentive to her personal and social needs. This has been so reassuring for us all. We can't thank everyone enough.

My mum has been very well looked after at Woodside Care Home for the past three years. All of her needs are taken care of but all the leisure, well-being and activities provided by the staff provide something that she would never have been able to benefit from in her own home. Great for her mental health as well as her physical well-being. I am very grateful for the care that is offered, thanks.

I find this home to be a safe and caring environment for my aunt. Staff are considerate, approachable and friendly. The furniture and fittings need updating but this does not detract from the warm, welcoming atmosphere. A variety of activities are available and residents are encouraged to participate. I always feel I can share any concerns with the staff.

My mum has settled in from the first day in Woodside Care Home, there were a few hiccups along the way but other than that she is good. The bedroom toilet could do with storage and a TV that actually has a remote and works but other than that the lounge is very big and they have activities for the residents to join in if they want to. They are looked after and most importantly are safe and always have staff 24/7 that helps to know should anything happen I will always be phoned.

Overall I have found the care home to be a generally comfortable place for my parent to be in. The shared areas are spacious and although could do with a bit of a spruce up are clean, bright and reasonably well maintained. Residents' bedrooms are a bit on the small side considering some of the equipment that needs to be used in them resulting in awkwardness for the residents on occasion. Improvements could be made in actioning queries /requests from families and residents in a timely manner. Sometimes the delay can be a little frustrating, having to make repeat requests but this could be sorted by employing more full-time staff instead of agency workers. Overall the home is reasonably comfortable and safe which are the main priorities for me.

I find my wife has settled into Woodside Care Home quite well. The staff are good with her although there were a couple of problems with lifting gear and clothing, other than that it's fine.

Mum appears settled in the care home and at ease with the staff. Happy with the care and attention she receives.

Clean and tidy. Staff have worked hard to maintain standards of care despite the difficulties of the pandemic.

My dad is a resident of Woodside Care Home. He is so happy there. The staff are kind and caring. His dementia is quite bad and he does not eat that well. But they ensure that he eats what he does like. He is always clean and his room is always tidy. I have peace of mind knowing he is well cared for by the lovely friendly staff.

The care home always feels homely, warm and inviting.
