Review from J S (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 April 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum was admitted to Woodlands after a fall when she was exhausted, distressed and in severe pain. From day 1, the manager and staff welcomed her warmly and reassured her. Her pain was quickly managed and in a short time, thanks to the care and attention of staff, she began to thrive. 'Respite' has now
become 'permanent'. Mum is very happy. An excellent care home - and welcoming to visitors!

My husband has been a resident at Woodlands Lodge for almost 4 years. From day one, we have experienced excellent service on every level. I visit my husband every day at various times during the day, including late into the evening, so I see all the staff during that time. The quality of care and support
is consistently excellent at all times. I am delighted with the staff and facilities. I couldn't wish for my husband to be in a better place.

Ever since my dad moved into Woodlands, I have nothing but praise; all the staff are just fantastic, especially the entertainment staff. Nothing is too much trouble and every single staff member always has a smile on their face. Would recommend Woodlands to anyone. :)

My uncle has improved so much in the time he has been here.
He has put weight on, improved mentally, attends all activities and is now interested in what is going on around him.
He loves it here.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My cousin entered Woodlands Residential Home after a long period in hospital. She took a long time to adjust from leaving her home. She refused to eat in the dining room and preferred to stay in her room. I must praise the staff for their patience and consideration of her needs. Now my cousin is joining
in some activities and eating in the dining room. The staff appreciate her need to have quiet time on her own. The house is always immaculately clean and my cousin is always looked after well. I am very satisfied with the care she receives.

My husband has been at Woodlands Lodge for almost 2 years. I am very happy with the care provided and cannot fault the nurses and carers for their patience and care. The atmosphere in the care home is very good - friendly and pleasant. My family think my husband is very lucky to be there.
They provide
all that is required for his needs.
They communicate very well with relatives of residents.

My father came in for dementia care for two weeks while I was away. The staff kept me up to date, via messages, at all times. They were cheerful and helpful - consummate professionals in fact. My father settled quickly and became a favourite in his short time here. On his last day, developing an illness
requiring a visit to A&E, the staff were quick to respond and supportive at all stages. Would highly recommend.
Reply from Lynda Hilton, Home Manager at Woodlands Lodge

Thank you so much for your lovely review. It was a pleasure looking after Dad and we hope that it gave you peace of mind while away. He is definitely a character and our staff do miss him. They are looking forward to welcoming him back in the future.

The staff were excellent, friendly and caring. They were very diligent when our family member had a medical issue and I felt he was in good hands. Services and facilities were of a good standard - clean and tidy. My grandfather enjoyed his stay and we intend to use Woodlands Lodge again!

Mum has been at Woodlands Lodge for more than four years now. She continues to be very well cared for and remains content and feels safe. She enjoys the meals, cups of tea, and activity sessions. The staff are wonderful, always positive, cheerful and help her to remain so too.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.877)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.877) out of 10 for Woodlands Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.877 for Woodlands Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (296 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 332 Ratings = 4.877
  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 Woodlands Lodge is based on 28 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 28 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.
