Review from L P (Wife of Resident) published on 1 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband had two weeks respite care in Woolton Acre while I had major surgery. He is virtually blind and profoundly deaf but the staff all went out of their way to care for him in a professional dignified and caring way. All staff were excellent and very friendly considering themselves a family fostered
a wonderful caring situation and atmosphere. I would have not hesitation in using Woolton Acre again. My husband was happy and content there.

Review from Helen D (Cousin of Resident) published on 5 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Woolton Acre made my cousin feel very much at home and went that extra mile in her care. She had a lovely comfortable en-suite bedroom with a bay window that looked out on trees and wildlife. The decoration of the home was excellent, having just been refurbished. The very comfortable lounges
and dining rooms were lovely. My cousin enjoyed the final few months of her life with staff who really cared about her and who made her final Christmas special. As a visitor I was also made to feel very welcome. My grateful thanks to the management team and all the staff for everything they did in looking after my cousin.
Reply from Daniel Blaney, Managing Director at Woolton Acre Retirement Living

Review from Y K (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 January 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was really worried about my mum going into care, I need not have as Woolton Acre is a wonderful care home. The management and staff are all very professional. My mum has settled so well and gets treated with such respect and care. Since going in from hospital she has been so much happier. She is in
constant pain which can't be cured but the difference in her is fabulous and I can't thank everyone enough.
Reply from Daniel Blaney, Managing Director at Woolton Acre Retirement Living

Thank you, for such a wonderful review of our home. We're so glad Mum has settled into the home so well. She is definitely a well established part of our Woolton Acre family!

Review from L S (Niece of Resident) published on 16 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My relative came to Woolton Acre for 2 weeks respite and chose to stay. It had just been renovated and refurbished to an excellent standard. The staff are compassionate and caring with my relative and the wider family. My relative requires full assistance with showering and dressing and was thrilled
to have staff who will have a laugh with them whilst maintaining their dignity. The laundry is well maintained and the home is immaculately clean and fresh. The chef has made my relative's favourite meal on several occasions. The staff have worked hard to make the home feel festive. The Manager and Deputy are very approachable and friendly and it is evident that they want the best for the residents. Being a Registered Nurse myself, the standards of care, communication, compassion, competence and commitment of staff, is outstanding. My relative moving out of their own home to Woolton Acre has been a positive move and has given the family peace of mind in seeing them settled and happy.

Review from Kathryn F (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Dad has recently experienced Respite for the first time. We struggled for 10 months to try and find pre-bookable respite and we were really worried about undertaking this but we could not have been happier with Woolton Acre. The Manager and all the staff are lovely and the atmosphere is a very welcoming
one to the whole family. Everyone was really friendly and the staff could not do enough for my Dad. The building has been refurbished to a very high standard and the rooms are lovely and very well equipped. I cannot praise Woolton Acre enough for the way they made us feel. We hope to bring Dad back again as he enjoyed the company the good food and the whole experience while he was there and we felt really reassured that he was in a safe and comfortable environment during his stay. We cannot thank all the staff enough for making us all feel so welcome and part of the Woolton Acre Family.
Reply from Daniel Blaney, Managing Director at Woolton Acre Retirement Living

Many thanks to you Kathryn for your very lovely review! I will ensure this is passed over to the team. It was a pleasure looking after Dad and we look forward to seeing him again in the near future. Don't be strangers, the kettle is always on!

Review from Brian M (Relative of Resident) published on 17 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My family member is a resident here. You couldn't ask for a nicer well-equipped home. The staff from the manager down are really lovely and welcoming, nothing is too much trouble for them. Heard that it had some bad reviews over 20 years ago when it closed... It has now reopened with new owners and
staff and fully refurbished to an excellent standard. My family member's health and well-being has improved immensely since moving here. Highly recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.098)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.098) out of 10 for Woolton Acre Retirement Living 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 6 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 4.873 for Woolton Acre Retirement Living is calculated as follows: ( (62 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.873
  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 4.225 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Woolton Acre Retirement Living is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.6 = 0.625
  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.
