The cleanliness, range and quality of facilities are all first class.
My only suggested improvement would be to move the signing in register slightly further from the entrance door, as it sometimes interferes with the PIR closing mechanism.
I am delighted that you think Woodlands Lodge is first class and thank you for your lovely comments about the cleanliness, quality and caring attitude of the staff. I am extremely proud of the whole team here, they are dedicated in making Woodlands a home from home, and I know they will be very pleased to hear such positive feedback. Thank you very much.

I couldn't be happier with my mum living at Woodlands Lodge. The care she receives is exceptional. All the care staff are lovely with Mum and nothing is too much trouble.

Mum has a daily choice of meals, all of which are lovely, and she has a better social life now than she has had for years with the excellent trips out and daily organised activities. Woodlands Lodge has given Mum her sparkle back again - thank you for this!

I had to return to Australia and leave my mum in very capable hands following a horrendous accident when she was knocked down by a car and fractured both her arms.
The care and communication have been superb and the staff always go the extra mile.

Working in nursing myself I'm so impressed at the standard of care and quality of the environment and facilities.
Many thanks it's a pleasure to provide such a high standard of care.
Fantastic care, professional staff. Woodlands is like your own home. We've had an excellent time being here and I know my grandma has been cared for very well. She is always happy, clean, very well looked after. I wouldn't consider any other homes other than the Athena Group.

Compared to other care homes that my aunty has been in, this is by far the best. I feel she is well cared for, the staff know her and her ways.

The quality of care that my mother received at Woodlands Lodge appeared similar to the quality provided at other good local care homes.
The rooms are newer and bigger than many but the weekly rate which is £950 per week is much more than other homes providing similar quality services. The food, in particular, was disappointing for the cost. It reminded me of food in institutions that use cheap ingredients, prepared in advance and kept warm. As a result, it is neither fresh nor appetising eg soggy fish, chips and frozen peas, plain sausage and mash twice in one week, and soup where it is impossible to identify the original ingredients. The evening meal is selected in the morning from two options and served at 16.00pm which appears to be to suit the staff, not the residents.
The caring side of the service is comparable with the best so no complaints in this area but for £135 per day my mother could also reasonably have expected a much better catering and domestic provision.

Sadly it appeared Woodlands was not for your mum. Staff and residents tried hard to make her feel welcome and to join in activities as planned but she refused.Room was reallocated and mum seemed happier with this. I myself spent time with mum aware difficulty in settling in and time given to express concerns each time.
Food is prepared daily and from fresh ingredients and amended to meet special diet requirements. Meals have never been served at 16.00 and at a resident meeting, a documented request for 17.00 which has been in place since 12th November. Staff have always ensured that the comfort of Woodlands residents come first. Evidenced by the many positive comments received.

Assistance was provided with showering, washing of clothes etc. I have difficulty swallowing food - my meals were pureed and tasty and easy to swallow.
Events and outings were very interesting and access to the local church. Garden areas very pleasing.
Visitors are welcomed and I had a lovely surprise on my 80th birthday. A party was arranged to include family members. Hospital visits were arranged with transport.
A lovely, caring atmosphere in the home - staff very helpful with reassurance and encouragement.
Myself and the team are always pleased to read such positive comments

My dad went in for a two-week trial on the 4th of September and already looks better in himself and we have peace of mind that he is safe and is being really well cared for. The staff are all excellent and the facilities are second to none. We could not have wished for a better place for dad to be in. Thank you to all the staff.
The Manager and staff at Woodlands Lodge would like to thank you for your review.
My wife has been a resident since 8/1/18 and I am very pleased with the care and attention she has received. I visit 3/4 times per week. The staff are all kind and look after her well. All comments are listened to and attended.
