Review from S I (Wife of Resident) published on 14 April 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
I find that the nursing unit, particularly Maple, requires an upgrade. The day room blinds/curtains are shabby, to say the least and have been like that for some time.
The new nurse's station is far too public and is open to all passing by, without any privacy.
Finally there is a lack of visitor
chairs in the rooms (at least one would be adequate).
A "rolling programme" of decoration would not go a miss, particularly for those on this unit.
Reply from Cassie Schofield, Head Office Admin at Woodside Grange

Thank you for your feedback about Maple unit at Woodside Grange. We do have a rolling programme for re-decoration and are working through the communal spaces at Woodside Grange, with several having been completed in the last financial year including the purchasing of new furniture, fixtures and fittings. The relocation of the nursing station is to support the registered nurses to have full oversight of the residents and be able to provide guidance and support to the staff team, they did not have this access when they worked in the office space. This supports proactive and responsive care. We have also recently relocated the quality lead to provide additional support to the whole team. The family meeting held last week for Maple provided positive feedback about the care provided and we will continue to build on these relationships, listening to and providing regular feedback and updates.

I am absolutely over the moon with all aspects of the care given to my mam. Carers, cleaners, in fact, every member of staff has gone above the job rolls. The staff are there to support family of the residents, the manager is approachable for anything and listens to you and acts upon any question you
ask. Love seeing my mam happy, thank you managers and staff.

My dad always seems to complain about the food and that the food he orders is not what he gets. There was an issue with a member of staff but he was reluctant to say anything in case he would be bullied or singled out and isolated. That situation resolved itself. He also agrees that overnight care could
be better and he’s woke up at 0530 most mornings to take meds.
Special mention to two staff members, both are very attentive.
Reply from Cassie Schofield, Head Office Admin at Woodside Grange

Thank you for the feedback. We would always encourage you to speak with the onsite management team about specific concerns relating to the care and support of your loved one. Often there is a quick and easy solution to improve the care experience and we are person-centred, proactive and committed to providing the highest standard of care to everyone living with us. Come and talk to us, we are listening.

My brother moved here from another care home because of his dementia. He has settled well and I know he is getting well looked after. The carers have a lot of patience and a good relationship with him. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Their loving, caring attitude obviously rubs off on to my brother.
They give him their attention, also I like the communication between all the staff. Very happy and would recommend this home to anybody.

Lovely staff, lovely, friendly, warm care home.
My elderly father was a resident at Woodside Grange for approximately 6 weeks to recuperate following a period in hospital. During his time there the staff were absolutely wonderful and caring throughout. The care my father received was so good he was
reluctant to leave and return home, he was particularly complimentary about the food. The home is kept immaculate and the staff are on hand with any queries that may arise and are dealt with efficiently.
Thank you to all the staff at Woodside Grange.

We were very happy with the care provided for our son, we knew he was well looked after, supported and we knew he was safe, secure and supported through his behaviours. We also found the home extremely well run and we could go and chat for support when needed as the door was always open. We knew our

Our mam, who had a massive stroke, resided in Woodside Grange for over five years experiencing care on residential, then dementia and eventually nursing. In all these areas I can honestly say she was treated with kindness and compassion, being offered not only care but friendship and love (even when
she could be quite difficult and demanding). I know our mam could not have been cared for any better and it brought me great comfort to know she died amongst people who knew her well and treat her with the dignity she deserved.
Thank you all for what you did for our mam and for the support offered to family members through some very difficult and heartbreaking times.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum recently resided in Woodside Grange and had been there for the last five years. She recently passed away and spent her last two weeks in nursing care. The care and compassion/love my mum received during her last few weeks were faultless and the support the family received during this very difficult
time was very much appreciated and helped us deal with the imminent outcome. During her years at Woodside, she was cared for with love and consideration and during the last few months, we felt like we had an extended family. I know my mum will be missed not only by her immediate family but also by the carers who spent so much time looking after her and treating her with dignity towards the end. We would like to thank all those involved with Mum from the carers to the management for your kindness and support during this difficult time.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.747)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.747) out of 10 for Woodside Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 9 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 4.475 for Woodside Grange is calculated as follows: ( (80 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 118 Ratings = 4.475
  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 4.272 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Woodside Grange is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 121 registered maximum number of service users is 24.2. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 24.2 = 0.372
  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.

Barbara

Barbara Parker

Job Title: Registered Manager Joined: 2022

Barbara joined St Martins Care in June 2022 as The Deputy Manager but has progressed and taken over the role of the Registered Manager at the beginning of 2023. Barbara says that she sort of fell into care after returning from overseas when her husband was in the armed forces. She started as a domiciliary carer with a small domiciliary company and progressed to a supervisor not knowing if she would like care. However, she stayed with the company for 7 years and fell in love with caring for the elderly. Barbara decided that she wanted to progress into the management side of social care so she went to work for another domiciliary company as a case manager. This entailed doing pre assessments with the service user before the care package started whilst retaining some contact with the services user. Barbara stayed with the company and progressed her career as a deputy manager and then a registered manager. However, she missed day-to-day contact with service users so applied for a role in a residential care home so she could continue within a management role but also have more contact with the residents. Although Woodside Grange is the biggest of St Martins Care’s homes, Barbara says, “it still has that homely feel which comes from the great team of staff and the care they deliver is second to none. We have a new management team in place, who are very passionate, caring and dedicated and I look forward to working with them ensuring Woodside Grange continues to deliver the best care we possibly can.”

Lisa

Lisa Burkin

Job Title: LD Manager Joined: 2012

Lisa joined St Martins Care in August 2012 as an Activities Co-Ordinator at the Windermere Grange home. She soon realised that care was in her blood and completed her NVQ level 2 in Health & Social Care. She transferred to Woodside Grange in June 2015 and worked across all units before becoming the first staff member of the Chestnut Suite Learning Disabilities Unit which opened in January 2016. Lisa's son has autism and learning disabilities and she cared for him for 18 years before he moved into residential care. Reflecting on this experience, Lisa says "at first I found life very difficult to deal with. I felt that I had failed him. I soon realised that my knowledge and patience around dealing with all the ups and downs bringing my son up could be put to good use. Working in the care sector made me feel worthwhile again." When asked about her vision for the future, Lisa says "Chestnut Suite is a lively and friendly place to live. I aim to ensure everyone feels safe and secure here and feel that this is their home. I am hoping that in the future Chestnut Suite becomes a stand alone unit and although I enjoy being part of Woodside Grange, I feel for myself and my staff, that this is the next step to developing and improving our support for adults with learning disabilities in our area."

Clare

Clare Whould

Job Title: Quality Lead Joined: 2016

Clare began working in care within the community around 15 years ago and realised quite quickly that she had a passion for providing care for those who were in need. She worked within the community for around 2 years before taking a leap to work within a residential setting. Clare began working in a care home which had some sentimental meaning for her as her mother had previously been a deputy manager there and she wanted to make her proud. Clare knew she did not want to progress her career in a clinical role so decided, when offered, to accept a promotion to a senior care assistant. Clare joined St Martins Care at Woodside Grange in 2016 as a senior care assistant and she cannot see herself working anywhere else. Clare says, “my heart and soul is with Woodside Grange. I believe we offer the best care and always strive to ensure all residents are treated with the utmost respect, dignity and empathy”. In October, Clare was offered a role as the quality lead within Woodside Grange. Clare says, “I was so proud of myself and overwhelmed that I had been offered this opportunity and want to work to achieve outstanding on our CQC report. I enjoy being hands-on with care and I am not too proud to get stuck in where needed.”
