Review from Andrea L (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 June 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I visited my 101-year-old Mother yesterday at Woodland Grove for the first time in over 12 weeks, made possible by the addition of a very pretty, cream painted Summerhouse erected in the garden - beautifully done up and with a beachy, very summery, cheerful feel. My mother was waiting in one end with
doors open to the garden as it was a sunny day and we were shown to the other open verandah type end and encouraged to use hand sanitiser. There was a perspex partition down the middle to keep the residents safe whilst still being able to see and communicate with their families. It was lovely to visit Woodland Grove again and, in particular obviously, to see my Mother looking so well and cheerful. In fact, she laughed at the partition and seemed very accepting of the situation. I think this is a great addition to the facilities in these current difficult times and I am sure will prove to be very popular. Congrats to the manager and the team and of course for keeping Woodland Grove
VIRUS-FREE!

Andrea, thank you for your review. It has been really lovely to see all residents/families appreciate the Summerhouse.

Wonderful reception from the Manager and care team at Woodland Grove. Professional, friendly, caring, and dealt with a difficult situation with efficiency and compassion. Communication is always excellent, and the resident's family and I are very happy to finally have peace of mind that he is being
very well looked after.

I do find I need to keep an eye on things. Although in the main the carers are have been very good, there have been occasions when it has been difficult to find help when needed as they do seem to disappear on breaks en masse. Any concerns I have had are quickly attended to when brought to the attention
of senior staff/management.

The care home has provided excellent care for my Mother who has been a resident for the past twelve months.
All staff across all aspects of care have demonstrated commitment, understanding and professionalism in their roles.
Family members on visiting the home are shown the same friendliness and staff
are always available to answer any questions or provide any items that may be required.
I would not hesitate in recommending Woodland Grove to other family or friends.
Afterall, we were recommended to the home and we have not been disappointed.

We had a bad experience on the first night due to poor agency and permanent staff. This was dealt with promptly and effectively. After this the care my Mum received was excellent. Some of the staff showed a level of genuine and sincere care way above the personal care expected of their role. The current,
interim, management are making good progress at ensuring high standards across the board.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
This is a post of Commendation. On Christmas Day I went with my wife to have lunch at Woodland Grove, with my mother who has been at Woodland Grove for past 2 years. It was very well presented, and good in quality. During the meal I took ill (NOT as a result of the food!) - and I was very faint and
collapsed. Staff near me (and my own medically trained wife) called for nurses. During the next 45 minutes before an ambulance came, I was extremely well looked after - in particular by the 2 nurses present (who forsook their own lunches to look after me). The CQC, and the CEO of Woodland Grove, know who they are! Their exemplary care was first class.

I was treated well at local A&E, and 'released' late in the evening. Am awaiting follow-up visits soon.
Woodland Grove has many good aspects to it. And this post is to add my own grateful comments to those who responded so professionally and promptly.

My precious mother was in Woodland Grove since it first opened, and we couldn't have wished for a more beautiful and perfect place for her to spend her last years. Not only was she treated with love and respect, but we were shown the same. The staff at Woodland Grove became our family, and we will miss
everyone dearly.
Thank you, Woodland Grove.

A lovely warm and welcoming home with the excellent staff. Very well managed and run with great support and nursing staff.


Good sized rooms and good, fresh food with an excellent Bristo for residents and families, with coffee, snacks and even beer. Lovely gardens suitable for wheelchairs. Good security

and sensible parking arrangements. Overall, top of my list.


Oh and TV in all rooms and lots of activities with super activity staff.

My late mother was a resident at Woodland Grove.
From day one my mother was there I was at complete rest in my head, to know that my mum was cared for but also treated with great kindness from all staff.
This home should have an award.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mum was a resident in Woodland from September 2016 to January 2017 when she sadly passed away. She had been in the hospital and in bed from July to September. At Woodland, she was able to be up most days in her wheelchair and participate in some of the varied activities that Woodland provides. Mum
was nearly 91 when she died and was very frail. The staff on the nursing floor were always so kind and respectful of mum. As mum was nearing the end, the staff continued to care for mum with compassion but they also cared for her family with the same degree of attention, supporting us emotionally as well as practically by making sure we were watered and fed. We would like to amplify the previous comments that Woodland is an exceptional place and the staff are truly amazing and inspiring. Several of them have experienced their own tragic losses and their empathy with the residents and their families is second to none. We are so glad that we chose Woodland to look after mum in her final days.

Choosing a care home for a friend or relative is so difficult especially if you live far away. Woodland Grove was the instant choice. The welcoming atmosphere, the bright, fresh entrance hall, the wide corridors, as well as the smiles on the faces of the staff, residents and visitors alike. My friend
has now been a resident for nearly six months. She has her own pictures in her room and delights in showing friends around. I am able to join her for a delicious lunch at a very reasonable cost in the 'bistro'. The staff care, not only for the residents but also their friends and relatives. I have been able to phone for information, to send a message, to maintain contact even though I live in France. I love following the activities that are regularly put on the Facebook page as I can see how my friend is. Woodland Grove is an example of excellence and should be the norm. Thank you.

The service and care received from all the staff at Woodland Grove were exemplary and beyond all expectation. The team on the nursing wing did much more that we expected, not only to care for my husband but also to make our two young children feel comfortable and importantly have only happy memories

My son was a resident for just over a month. He was only 39 and terminally ill with a brain tumour. My daughter-in-law was desperately looking for somewhere for my son to go and from the minute she contacted the home we felt we were in good hands. So, the manager went that night to see her in the hospital
and had my son transferred more the next day. My son received the best of physical care from the staff and we, as a family were treated with such care and support. We have nothing but praise for the home, we could not have wished for him to have spent his days in such a lovely place. All his visitors commented on what a wonderful place it is.

We cannot thank the team enough for all they did for our parents. Both were there to get them back together after a spell in hospital - The nursing team were terrific and the care assistants were truly fabulous. It is evident throughout the quality of this place. We always wanted to care for our parents
at home and were so worried when we no longer had a choice, but we needn't have been so nervous - This really is a 'home from home.' It became their place and ours. For the first time for a while, we were able to sleep properly knowing they were being well cared for throughout. Stands out a mile from others. There is just no comparison and a benchmark for the industry. The manager was fantastic and helped us through a difficult time as we brought then together again. Thank you so much to all.

The home provides a safe and warm/caring environment for the residents. An innovative approach to stimulating and engaging residents. Residents are always clean, rooms clean, clothes well laundered. The home is well organised to ensure my parent's health and welfare needs were quickly met and problems
were tackled and escalated as appropriate. Clear lines of command and helpful advice provided on escalating problems and issues. Effective leadership and management ensure my parents receive high-quality person-centred care. The staff use a wide range of evidence from observation, medical records, what I and other relatives say to tailor their treatment and care. The staff are compassionate, kind, good humoured and have treated my parents with the utmost dignity and respect. The home works hard to provide a caring and compassionate environment for both my parents and relatives.

I cannot praise this home highly enough. My mother has dementia and has been in a mental health unit for a number of months. The surroundings are tasteful, mum's room is cosy sand she is very comfortable. The staff are attentive to her every need and are cheerful and loving towards her. They have an
extensive programme of events which she has been able to participate in enjoying carols yesterday.
The nursing care is also excellent and communicate well with the family. I have no hesitation to recommend Woodlands, it ticks all the boxes and delivers a high quality caring environment. I can't ask for more.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.817)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.817) out of 10 for Woodland Grove is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 57 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 57 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 4.817 for Woodland Grove is calculated as follows: ( (550 Excellents x 5) + (99 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 660 Ratings = 4.817
  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 Woodland Grove is based on 57 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 72 registered maximum number of service users is 14.4, which has been reached with 57 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.

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 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.
