Woodlands Lodge Care Home

Nice atmosphere, staff friendly and kind and polite and look after residents with his needs really well. Treated with dignity and respect. Meals very good, nicely prepared and arranged.

Woodlands Lodge is a lovely care home. Staff are amazing, all so caring with the residents and families/visitors. Very clean and bright environment. Would certainly recommend this home to family and friends.

Everything top class.

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.

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.

Mum is so happy here which is a great weight off all our minds.

The care in this home is excellent. I chose here because when I called in without an appointment, and I was greeted by a lovely, informative receptionist. Was shown around straight away. All the staff, from nurses to catering, were friendly and welcoming. It was immediately obvious to me this was the best place. It was about how the staff interacted with the people living there. During his stay, all my dad's needs were met, and he was treated well. Thank you to everyone who works here.

This care home and the care they have given my mother-in-law have been outstanding. The attention to detail to my mother-in-law's needs has been exceptional. A special mention to the manager of the care home, who goes out of her way to get to know my mother-in-law and all the other residents under her care.

Can honestly say that the leadership and staff at this care home are amazing. In my job I have visited many care homes and Woodlands stands out for its approach to providing a “home” where everyone feels comfortable, valued and cared for. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone considering a care home environment for their family members.

Our mum has been contended during her 4 years as a resident of Woodlands Lodge. We thank all the staff and visiting professionals for their caring acts.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I have found Woodlands to be very friendly and helpful. Thank you.

Mum has made friends, and she joins un all the activities. We have been delighted with our decision to make Woodlands Lodge Mum's home.

Lovely facilities, very community oriented which is so nice to keep everybody busy and upbeat. My nan was a very particular lady so the fact she was so settled here was almost hard believe. She was fussy and only liked certain meals which weren’t often on the set menu however the chefs would always accommodate her which was superb. Many a times I’d sit in the garden in the sun with my nan which was her favourite thing to do. A couple of members of staff in particular were absolutely outstanding with my nan - she adored them both. Staff were attentive, and gave my nan the round the clock care she needed. Thank you for giving her a home away from home. She loved to keep her door open so she could see the other residents and staff.

In 2021 I came over from the US to look after my mum who lived in Formby. She had advanced Parkinson's and Lewy Body Dementia. I was only able to take care of her for a few months before I realised she needed more than I could do. I cannot tell you how grateful I was to Woodlands Lodge for the excellent and empathetic care that they provided to my mum, making her life safer and more secure. I was able to go back to being her daughter and we had many great days until her passing in May 2023.

When we first looked at Woodlands Lodge we were told my mum should look at it as her home and not a home. The staff do everything to make her feel that. She gets up later in the morning and breakfast is brought to her room when she is ready. She would admit to being a fussy eater but thoroughly enjoys the food provided. When she hasn't been feeling well, staff are happy to prepare something special for her. Staff are welcoming to visitors and are happy to talk about any concerns you may have at any time. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

The staff have been brilliant with my grandma. They get her involved in activities and things that she likes and they put a lot of time and care into all residents. They have made her feel safe and at home! Brilliant staff and home overall!
