Thank you for your review; we really appreciate the time you have taken to feed back.
My first experience with care homes, and as I was seeking a placement for my very special 99-year-old mother, the fact that I chose Woodland Grove is a reflection of the professional approach taken by all staff I have and do come into contact with.

Moving to a care home was challenging for my mother but the staff at Woodland Grove have been very kind and patient in helping her to settle in. They also respond promptly and thoroughly to queries I have raised. The home offers excellent food options and a lively range of daily activities. The home seems very clean and well-kept and has a lovely, quiet garden. Having a working direct landline in her room was a key facility for my mother and means she is connected to her previous world. Thank you to all the staff at Woodland Grove.
Thank you for taking the time to review. Making life-changing decisions is very difficult but we are so pleased she is doing really well.

I would describe Woodland Grove as a 5-star hotel with care. My mother has been there for over three years now and is very well looked after. There are many activities every day that she is happy to join in with and has been taken out on many trips. She has her hair done every week and access to newspapers and magazines daily. I am so glad we chose this wonderful place to look after our lovely mum. Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff and we are regularly kept informed of all the news regarding the home.
Your experience is very important to us. Providing the residents with enhanced care provides a wonderful atmosphere.
My Mum has been at Woodland Grove for over 4 years and is very happy to be living there. There are some exceptional carers, with different personalities that definitely make the day interesting. There is always a lot of laughter coming from her room and that is so important. The activities team,...
My Mum tells me she likes living there and feels safe, that is paramount.

Woodland Grove never ceases to amaze me. Mum has been here nearly 2 years now. The care she receives is second to none. Despite having some stays in the hospital, Mum cannot wait to get 'home'. The celebration of the 10-year anniversary was a wonderful event. So much thought is put into all of the events and every resident is made to feel extra special, even more so on their birthday. I wouldn't want Mum to be anywhere else. Each and every one of you is a superstar.
Thank you for taking the time to view and express how happy you are with mum's care. Thank you for supporting our celebrations.
An exemplary care home in every way. Spotlessly clean, carers that really do care. fantastic facilities and activities. It is a comfort to know my parents were/are so well looked after. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I just wanted to thank you all at Woodland Grove for your years of dedicated care looking after my auntie and how much of a comfort it was to know she was in such good care. The fact that staff came to visit her in hospital in her final days and also attended the funeral was further proof, if it were needed, of the love that she was shown throughout her nearly 8 years at the home. Not to mention a phone call just a week ago from the lovely staff to check on me which was quite special.
Thank you for taking the time to review. As you know she was much loved by everyone in the home and will be missed. It was a pleasure to care for her.
Woodland Grove provides a very caring resident-central approach. The excellent staff take time to get to know the residents and then tailor their approach accordingly. I feel my father is being very well looked after and he is content and relaxed. The food is home-cooked with a decent variety of...
Woodland Grove provides a very caring resident-central approach. The excellent staff take time to get to know the residents and then tailor their approach accordingly. I feel my father is being very well looked after and he is content and relaxed. The food is home-cooked with a decent variety of options. The activities are plentiful. All in all, I am very happy we selected Woodland Grove.
Thank you for giving a varied review of the facilities. We appreciate your feedback.
My father was in this care home for 18 months, they were excellent. Lovely people, they look after every need. They convinced him to do activities. When not well they made sure he was well looked after.

Thank you for your review. We will miss all your family and the support you also gave the home.
It took a few weeks to adjust, however, I am now feeling much better and moving more easily. I go out around the garden most days. I enjoy getting to know everyone and have made friends. Thank you.

The staff were lovely and did an amazing job preparing one of the rooms for a family birthday gathering. It was beautifully decorated and the food that was catered was lovely as well. I’m glad that my nan is getting the care that she needs and deserves.

I am a qualified Biomedical Scientist and specialised in Blood Transfusion. I worked for the NHS before I decided to join the Health and Social Care sector in 2012. My first role was at a small residential care setting for the elderly. I joined as a Deputy Manager and progressed to a Registered Manager role. Since then, I have been in various management roles within the sector.
I joined Oakland Care in 2020 as a Unit Manager. I then progressed to the Head of Memory and Residential Care Role before moving into the Deputy Manager Role and now General Manager. I have a passion for providing exceptional care and developing a team that goes above and beyond in the care they provide.

I have an academic background in Literature and Journalism. However, driven by the desire to be part of a meaningful change, in 2019, I decided to transition into the Social and Healthcare sector. This is when I joined Oakland Care as a Healthcare Assistant, and I have since advanced through various roles, progressively working my way up to my current position as Deputy Manager. My journey has given me a deep understanding of both the personal and professional aspects of care. As a Deputy Manager, I aim to ensure that our residents receive exceptional care and that my team is led with inspiration, compassion, and integrity. I recently earned a qualification in therapeutic counselling and am interested in all things philosophy and psychology.

I have supported Care Homes for over 9 years and previously worked in Leisure and HR. My role is to effectively manage the occupancy levels of both Lambwood Heights and Woodland Grove care homes and build positive relationships with residents, families and external contacts in the community.
I work closely with the marketing department and our lifestyles teams to ensure our services are promoted to reflect the excellent care and support we provide. The residents are our extended family who we love to nurture and share daily life with whilst keeping them safe and well. I’m always delighted to meet new families and support their journey.
