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.

Generally the care and home is more than anyone could want for their family. There are a few problems that arise from time to time, but when discussed with staff, they always do their best to sort out any matters rising. The main concern is always the beaker is empty when I visit mum. Mum's eyesight
is poor so she is unable to help herself to a drink. It worried me that she's not getting enough fluids.

Woodside is a good home and although dad wasn't keen to start with he has settled and seems content. The staff are respectful, kind and friendly. Dad loves the outside space and we spend time together sitting and enjoying the trees. As his only child, I have felt so relieved that he is safe and cared
for.

Catering at Woodside is very hit -or-miss, there are plenty of desserts & cakes but the meals tend to be bland, for this reason I order freeze-dried meals in. A few more condiments with the salads, e.g. olive oil, vinaigrette's, mayonnaise. These can also lift plain sandwiches. Nutrition is paramount.

We are often filling out questionnaires about the menu, but as yet, nothing.

I have been a resident here for one year. I am settled and happy, having lost my husband, flat and possessions in the past year. Nice ensuite room and large TV. Kind and caring staff. I feel safe and secure and can actually see a doctor, hairdresser and podiatrist. Residents' laundry is also done too.
Activities coordinator is just starting and the food situation is better with new menus in January.

From the point of going to view Woodside, we were encouraged to ask questions and raise concerns and warmly welcomed. All the carers and management team did their utmost to make the moving and settling in happy and secure feeling. Carers work exceptionally hard and ensure the residents are clean and
well-dressed and all needs are catered for in a dignified and respectful manner. Woodside is very clean, tidy and has no unpleasant smells. It is a serene and pleasant home to visit, always being welcomed by the staff. The manager is approachable, friendly and the home is well-led.

It is extremely hard to write this review as this is my only experience of a care home, and it has coincided with the pandemic, which undoubtedly has impacted the ability of care homes to provide their usual service. That said, my parents have been treated with dignity and have been well looked after
at Woodside. Hopefully, there will soon be more activities and outings organised. I have no complaints at all.

Review from John H (Son of Resident) published on 15 February 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My Mum was cared for by the Cedarcare home team at "Woodside" from September 2019 until her passing in January 2021 at age 95. They did, without exception, do a remarkable and consistent job of keeping her safe, well nursed and cared for throughout very difficult times. She was Covid free and passed
away peacefully in her sleep. They showed such kindness towards her and did their best to make her comfortable, as her frailty and heart condition inevitably worsened. The commitment of the nursing staff was more than anyone could hope for. Truly lovely, kind people, always happy to talk, inform and give reassurance. If you have to face such a journey, these are the people I would choose to be with.

On the whole, I am very happy at Woodside. I am very disappointed though with the sandwiches. The ham is very sparse and often the bread is dry. I have complained to the Manager three times. Each time it improves and then standards slip. Today the Manager said "but some residents can't chew! I can!!!
I have my own teeth! I would like to be served fresh sandwiches Thank you!

My Mother has experienced a lot of loss during the past 7 months.
Woodside nursing home has been wonderful.

My Mother celebrated her 85th birthday on May 2nd and the chef made her a delicious birthday cake and all the

She was so happy.

My stepmother's health deteriorated suddenly and she was refusing food and medicine for some time. The staff explored every avenue sensitively to try and understand the causes. Combined teamwork has resulted in her taking a full part in Woodside life and enjoying her days more than ever. This phase

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.602)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.602) 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.602 for Woodside Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (131 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.602
  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 16 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 16 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.
