Review from L H (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We needed a care home for my 96 year old mother while her daily carer was away . However, Mum has always been very resistant to the idea of staying in a care home.
We chose Woodland Manor as it is very well set out, has lovely facilities and a good programme of activities. The first week mum was quite
unsettled but the staff were very kind and caring and mum settled into the rhythm of the home. As WM is near to where we live, mum appreciated seeing us more often. Being able to visit on any day, at any time is so helpful and visitors are made welcome.
The carers are good at checking in with mum but not too intrusive. She greatly appreciates their help with showering and dressing.
We are soon coming to the end of the respite period and we're delighted that mum has decided that she would like stay on permanently. This is due to the standard of care and cheerfulness of the staff. It's a great relief to us that she is receiving such quality 24 hour care.

The clean outside space is calming and inviting, and through the doors, you are met with much the same - a lovely meeting area and beautiful gardens that any person would benefit from. All the staff and management have been nothing but fantastic - my dad's been 'well looked after, fed well and have
no issues, in fact it's been a great choice for him. Keep up the amazing work. Thank you.

I visit my friend at the home very frequently, I'm very pleased to see how happy he is in the home. The staff are very friendly and professional. It's also very heart warming to see the residents interacting in the lounge and doing activities together. The management team is doing a splendid job even
taking time out to have conversations with the residents with their busy schedule.The manager has really turned thing around bring life back into the home. I wish him many years of good health and strength to continue to carry out the wonderful job he's doing along with his deputy.

Having been a visiting family member and now as volunteer at Woodland Manor, I continue to witness the dedication and kindness of staff towards the residents as well as the visiting family members and volunteers.


The programme of daily activities has good variation and are well organised, residents

are encouraged to join in and take part in as much as possible and family members made aware and invited to all the entertainment sessions which are well attended.

All in all, simply superb.

My grandmother has been here for three months and I could not recommend this home any higher. The rooms are spacious, the staff at every level are so kind and genuine and the food is amazing with a great choice and to a very high standard. Overall, if I go into a home I wish I get put in here. My granny
thinks she is very lucky. A five star facility.

Review from Thomas W (Husband of Resident) published on 27 January 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After just one month of experience, and being able to compare two different care homes, I believe Woodland Manor to be better suited to my wife, and to me too as a visitor. The wooden furniture in the bedroom is barely sufficient and the quality isn't great but the soft furnishings are lovely and it's
location, facing onto the lovely large garden, makes it the nicer option for my wife. Initially I was surprised at the absence of a TV in her room but, as time has gone by, I have come to appreciate that it's absence helps the carers oversee the residents. I particularly like that, when I visit and join my wife for lunch, the meal can be served in the bistro rather than the restaurant, making it a more intimate occasion. As for 'value for money', clearly Woodland Manor is expensive but I am hopeful of a reduction in price as I think the initial assessment suggested the need of greater care than is proving to be necessary in practice. The security of Woodland Manor is altogether better managed than my wife's previous care home could manage. I would recommend Woodland Manoir to anybody.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.817)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.817) out of 10 for Woodland Manor Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 48 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 48 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 4.817 for Woodland Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (476 Excellents x 5) + (80 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 568 Ratings = 4.817
  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 Woodland Manor Care Home is based on 48 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 48 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.
