Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Nurse tried his best for me to be allowed to go out with patient without nurse. Staff are always very pleasant and try their utmost - provide coffee/tea for visitors, organise trips, bring out the best in the patients and engage their interests. Rooms are extremely clean - cleaner extremely pleasant.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I was very pleased with the overall nursing care my mother has received during her nearly five years of residency. Many of the carers felt like family as she and I had known them so long. ALways happy and obliging - after my mother had trained new staff members to her standards. In the last year there
has been little staff changes so good to know my mum wasn't trying to get to know new people constantly. Food was an issue for my mother, but as an ex-cookery teacher she had high standards. Value I cannot comment as nothing to compare, except pay privately £300 more than NHS pay!

The home is spotlessly clean and the staff are welcoming and always on hand.
Mum is settled and happy. Her room is bright and spacious and always tidy. There is lots of interaction for Mum from the staff and other residents, she enjoys the varied activities on offer. We would recommend Woodside.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I've been really impressed with Woodside in all aspects of care. The staff are friendly and go out of their way to help. Communication is good and frequent. I feel like they will keep me updated 24/7. Staff at Woodside really seem to care and are very kind and gentle with my mum; it's what she needed.
They've tried to include her in communal sessions where possible, but her health no longer permits it.

I am so impressed with the level of care my mother receives since she came to Woodside. All the staff on Oaksuite have been compassionate, and understanding and respond well to all her needs. Mum doesn't attend activities any longer but they are well planned and enjoyable. I am also thankful for the
excellent support they give me and all the family - we would all recommend Woodside 100%. I don't think there is a better facility.

I found the staff extremely friendly and I settled in well. Nobody forces me to join in activities unless I want. There is always plenty of food and drinks. The staff are very attentive. The outside space in the warmer weather is lovely. Plenty of trees, squirrels and deer! You can relax on the balcony
in the garden and enjoy the sun.

My mother was a resident at Woodside for seven and half years until her recent death there. During that time she received constantly good care from all staff and was happy at Woodside. Her last few months of deteriorating life were made comfortable by the care and attention of the staff and the support
in her last few hours was second to none.

I am very pleased with the standard of service provided to my mother, who has been aware of this nursing home for nay years, before having to move in permanently, following issues with her health.
I have not rated "food and drink" or "activities" as I have no experience with either, but I have no
reason to think that they would be anything but good or excellent, in line with the other categories I have rated.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.567)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.567) out of 10 for Woodside Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.567 for Woodside Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (135 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.567
  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 Woodside Nursing Home is based on 17 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 17 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.
