Woodland Manor Care Home

I cannot recommend a stay at Woodland Manor more highly. The care and kindness my husband received were exceptional.

Dad recently moved in from living independently. It was a seamless transition, the staff have been just wonderful with him. He has settled very quickly and is genuinely happy in his new home.

I had a very nasty fall, with two black eyes and an ankle I couldn't walk with (very swollen). I live on my own at 88 so I was most grateful to stay at your lovely care home. Everyone was very kind and helpful and made me very welcome. I have enjoyed every day with some really lovely people. I shall miss them all and definitely will recommend Woodland Manor Care Home to all my friends. Thank you all so much.

Our experience of Woodland Manor is very positive. My father tells me he is very happy there and that is the best accolade. The food is excellent and the quality of care is high. I feel included in his care plan which we feel meets his needs very well. The staff are caring and friendly and the communications about his health and wellbeing are good. My concerns are all listened to and addressed.

I'm so happy that my friend has settled in Woodland Manor. She really enjoys the activities and I've been able to join her in the activities. I'm not at the age of needing a care home, but when I do this would be my first choice. I think the staff are very friendly and caring, giving lots of attention to everyone who lives there and also their visitors.

Dad has been made comfortable and welcomed since he's been in a discharge to assess bed in March. Some items of clothing have been lost and items come back from the laundry room still wet/damp! Communication has been poor and especially with the care manager (who has now left). The supervisor has been amazing!

Have always found staff pleasant and welcoming. This is comforting to know when you have a family member as a resident. A happy atmosphere exists.

We are so grateful to the staff at Woodland Manor who make every effort to ensure that my parents are well cared for. Their accommodation is comfortable with access to the lovely gardens. There are organised activities every day as well as regular minibus trips to places of interest nearby. We particularly like the bright and welcoming coffee shop where residents can relax or meet with visitors.

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.

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.

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.

As a family, we recommend your excellent services. This has secured recently a further full time resident for Woodland Manor.

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.

I spent two weeks in this very comfortable home after a cataract operation. The staff were very pleasant and efficient.
