From the first time we visited the home until my stepfather passed away, we were treated amazingly. The care and respect we were shown was outstanding. All the staff without exception were so kind and provided care and support on all levels. Their concern was genuine which helped make a sad situation,
more easy to deal with. Our stepfather was never on his own and passed away peacefully with people we will always call friends.

Reply from Cristian Grozav, Home Manager at Woodland Manor Care Home

Thank you for taking a moment to leave us a review during this difficult time. It was an honour to care for your wonderful stepfather, and I am glad to hear you felt supported throughout your time with us. Please know that you are always welcome at Woodland Manor.

I was here for respite care after a bad fall. I was treated very professionally, with respect and friendliness. Call requests were answered quickly and I always felt safe. I was able to have a degree of independence but was carefully guided. Some basic foods are often out of stock! E.g. apple juice,
ice cream, red/white wine. The wine was quickly replaced but not the ice cream or apple juice! Everyone is very helpful and very pleasant, and I was made to feel 'at home'.

Thank you for taking time to provide us with your feedback. I am glad to hear we assisted with your recovery and wish you nothing but the best going forward. I am sorry to hear some items were out of stock during your time with us, and I will be sure to keep an eye on this going forward.

My husband had two stays in Woodland Manor. In December 2023 for 4 weeks and in March/April 2024. Sadly he died in early May of 2024. His care was exemplary and I cannot fault that. I still visit the staff there. The nursing staff were so caring and everyone tried to make life easier. I have no hesitation
in recommending Woodland Manor to people. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for your review of Woodland Manor. I am so pleased you enjoyed our BBQ, it is one of our favourite events, although this year we have of course been quite restricted due to the great British summer. I am so pleased you have found our team to be attentive and caring on every visit.

Outstanding, would be my one word review. However since I've been inside the NHS and another private care home recently I can confidently rate Woodland Manor as easily the best and least stressful. Simply the quality and attitude of care and catering staff is world class. Options and quality on food
menu outstanding also. I have turned into a regular food photo journalist for my friends.

Mum was admitted for long-term care. Despite her reluctance to live in a care setting she adapted remarkably quickly and was genuinely happy living there. The care staff were respectful, open and professional in their approach. The admin staff were also very professional and I can't thank them enough
for their help in mum's admission.

Following mum's unfortunate experience in a non-nursing care home, her move to Woodland Manor was managed very professionally with the minimum of delay and upheaval at what is a very busy time of the year. We have found the care staff to be very friendly and diligent in their care for mum and her general
well-being.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother moved into Woodland Manor after a hospital stay resulting from a fall. Prior to that, she’d been at home with her husband and live-in carers. However, her Alzheimer's and mobility problems after the fall meant that she needed more care and physical support than one carer could provide.
Being
a sociable person, my mother enjoyed interactions with the other residents and the activities and entertainment arranged for each day. Family were always welcomed to visit at any time and it was good to be able to sit with her in the “bistro”, for coffee, cakes and a chat. We found the staff at Woodland Manor to be very professional and caring. Alzheimer's finally beat Mum just before Christmas and the care home staff went out of their way to keep her comfortable, support us all and give us space at the end. I’m very grateful for all their care.

Reply from Cristian Grozav, Home Manager at Woodland Manor Care Home

We are all touched by your lovely comments and to know that we did our very best for your mother and your family during such a difficult time. The staff really appreciate such feedback, and to know that their dedication to providing the best in care and welcoming environment makes the difference.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.795)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.795) out of 10 for Woodland Manor Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 47 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 47 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.795 for Woodland Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (456 Excellents x 5) + (86 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 556 Ratings = 4.795

  • b) 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 47 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 47 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
