The care given to my brother during his short stay at Woodland Manor was incredible. Nothing was too much trouble, the staff showed great patience and understanding. The room was spacious, clean and had everything that was required. The food he loved, a great variety. My brother died with dignity and
respect and my family received the same at this most difficult time by all the wonderful staff.

Reply from Wendy Healy, Client Services Manager at Woodland Manor Care Home

During the time my husband was in Woodland Manor he was extremely ill with both a chest and urine infection. Without the care and dedication given by the staff, he wouldn't have survived - it was a touch and go situation we were told. The staff were so supportive and compassionate towards our family.

My mum was at Woodland Manor for two and a half years and received exceptional care throughout this time, despite having challenging behaviour at times. She had vascular dementia mixed with Alzheimer's. Her final days at Woodland Manor were the best I could ever have hoped for and thanks to the carers
wonderful care that she received she passed peacefully.

I am always warmly received at the door and see my wife in the bistro. I cannot comment on rooms or dining areas as I have not seen them due to the Covid regulations at present. I assume they are excellent.

On coming straight from hospital I cannot say anything about Woodland Manor Care Home other than I have had nothing but the support of excellent care and support of the management and the health care assistants who work so hard. You would not get any better for they work so hard for you.

My introductory visit to ascertain the suitability of the care home for my relative was welcoming and provided all necessary information regarding facilities and finances. My sister has settled in well since moving here one month ago and appears to be happy. She has been taken on two outings recently
to visit places of interest. Covid-19 prevention procedures were very thorough for all visitors and continue to be observed. A recent family fun day was well organised and enjoyed by all.

My husband had terminal cancer. After a period in hospital, he was considered 'too well' for a hospice; we did not know how long he would have to live. I reluctantly sought a care home when it became clear that his needs were too complex at this stage for him to be in our home. As soon as I walked into
Woodland Manor I knew that this would be a place where I would have peace of mind about his care. The staff were welcoming, and the atmosphere was like a comfortable hotel. My husband was given a ground-floor room with French windows leading onto a lovely garden. Most important to me was the quality of care that he received. Extra restrictions on visiting were in place because of Covid, but there was sensitivity to our 'end of life' situation. The staff were clearly well trained in handling the sometimes complex care needs of my husband. They seemed genuinely to enjoy their jobs, and to think about how they could make a difference to the quality of life of residents.

Our Dad moved to the nursing care level at Woodland Manor in July 2021.
The staff are tremendously kind and caring, they keep us informed and welcome us when we visit.
Dad is safe, comfortable, happy, settled, well-nourished and engaging in activities and outings. His personal interests were noted
with films and WW2, a visit to a local WW2 attraction was a memorable day for him.
The home is beautiful, clean, bright and spacious with a lovely energy, attractive gardens and a quiet location.
From our initial visit to consider the home, the efficiency of administration with Dad's transfer from hospital and the care received, my family are so pleased we chose here.
Thank you to all the team for your kindness and care.

My husband was sent to a care home for assessment before going to Woodland Manor. I cannot express my thanks to Woodland Manor, my husband who has dementia is happier here and eats well. The staff are so friendly and efficient. The whole atmosphere is different, it is really excellent! So friendly and
really care for my husband.

Reply from Michelle Daly, Home Manager at Woodland Manor Care Home

My dealings with the home have been nothing but positive. I flew in from New Zealand to assist my Aunt to go into care - the home staff were extremely helpful and supportive during what was a very challenging and emotional time. Since my Aunt has been in the home she has blossomed. I can see that via
the weekly FaceTime calls the home arrange. My Sunt is stimulated by the activities the home offers and is encouraged to maintain her own individual interests. I know that my Aunt is extremely well looked after and I am most grateful to all of the home staff who care so ably and kindly of my aunt.

The staff at Woodlands responded promptly and professionally when my mother needed an urgent assessment and subsequent admission. Despite the very difficult circumstance of the lockdown, every consideration was given to allow safe visits from the family within the covid guidelines. My mother was well
cared for, and my elderly father was similarly cared for during his visits. After several weeks, my mother was discharged much improved.

Reply from Rachael Startin, Sales & Marketing Manager at Woodland Manor Care Home

I can honestly say having done much research and still belonging to carer support groups that Woodland Manor Care Home is quite an exceptional home for my family member. They possess something that is difficult to find in most of the homes I have visited. They have a genuine feeling of care instilled
in all the team. It is an absolute pleasure to watch and I feel blessed and happy to have Woodland Manor as part of my family. Thank you

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.
