Woodland Manor Care Home has a Review Score of 9.8 (9.841) out of 10, based on 51 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Woodland Manor Care Home has 150 reviews.
Our only concern was my mother contracted a chest infection while being cared for and was very poorly. She was given antibiotics, however, she said she was not seen by a doctor but a nurse. This chest infection persisted and has required stronger antibiotics and has still not cleared up.
Every aspect of her care is exceptional, admin, food, personal care, entertainment, housekeeping - nothing is too much trouble and she is very happy and therefore so are we. Thank you.
The care and patience of this often very hard-pushed staff is incredible.
For cleanliness, my bathroom has been kept spotless but my room has not received much attention!
It is the kindness and attention which will remain with me always.
All members of the staff are consistently polite, cheerful and welcoming at all times. My father would have liked the meals to be served at a higher temperature and reported that they were better towards the end of his stay. He also found that he was not warm enough in his bedroom. He felt like he was "among friends" during his stay.
My mother, brother and I are very grateful that the team have worked so hard to settle our dad into the home. He has settled very quickly - much quicker than we would have imagined. This is to the credit of the team.
It has been a very sad and difficult time for us as a family but the advice and guidance we have received has really helped us all adjust.
The level of attention that dad has received from everyone has been so heartening to see. The carers really take on dads personality and they have tailored the day to dad's needs and interests. Dad is happy with the home. He keeps telling us how friendly and helpful the staff are - he looks happy and tells us how much he enjoys the food, people and singing activities.
We would highly recommend Woodland Manor.
She was treated as an individual with great dignity. The staff showed great professionalism at all times.
The nature of my sister's illness prevented her leaving her room. However, the facilities appeared excellent and the welcome/concern extended to myself and family was greatly appreciated.
I do think that there is not enough time given between meals from lunch at 1pm to supper at 5pm. I would recommend that the time should be altered to 7pm from 5pm, when it would be easier to cope with having another meal and not eating too early.
Thanks for taking the time to review our home and for rating the service excellent. I take on board your comments about meal times but would point out that these are the main dining times only. In addition to this, for those who prefer not to eat in the restaurant, we have a lighter bites menu...
A very caring environment, however, they need to vastly improve their activities schedule for residents. Overall, very happy with Woodland Manor for mum.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of Woodland Manor. Porthavens' award-winning leisure and wellness programme can now be fully effected having successfully recruited a full-time coordinator. Please do attend our regular relatives meetings in order to share your thoughts and...
Mum's health and strength improved greatly, thanks to the staff and to the excellent food. She enjoyed the activities provided and found the garden delightful. For the family, our anxieties about our mother have been taken away, and we can see she is happy.
Thank you for your comments and for taking the time to share your experience of Woodland Manor. Kind regards, Heather
First class in every way.
Sadly my mum needed to go into care. She arrived at Woodland Manor after not settling in a previous home. From the very first day, the warmth of the welcome from both staff and other patients relatives helped her to start to settle and trust. On day one the staff managed to earn her trust and the frightened look on her face started and disappeared and a calm look took over and she responded to the staff. For me being the main carer I also started to settle and sleep better for the first time in a month. I know my mum was in good hands with staff that really cared and most important understand what was happening to her. Thank you Woodland Manor.
Two weeks stay between hospital and flat. Staff have helped with exercise and food has been good with the room being comfortable. A good environment where the staff know your name and show an interest in your well-being.
I would like to thank the whole team at Woodland Manor Care Home for the care my mother has received. My mother is now well on the road to recovery after a fall in another care home. When my mother arrived at the home, she was unable to walk or feed herself and now through the dedication of the wonderful management and staff, my mother is able to walk again and enjoy everyday life at the home. I would like to thank everyone for the kindness and support shown to me through a difficult time.
Very short stay by my mother unfortunately but she was very well looked after. Staff were kind and considerate and made her comfortable in her last days.
Management is very competent and the carers and all the staff;from the kitchen staff to the maintenance man, to the housekeeper are all wonderful. There is a passion for service and real kindness. We are thrilled with Woodland Manor in every single way.
Thank you for sharing your experience of Woodland Manor Helen. I will pass on your feedback to the team. Best wishes, Annie
My dear friend was fortunate in being transferred from hospital to Woodland Manor for a three week period of rehabilitation. Unfortunately her general health deteriorated and made it impractical to return, so she decided to stay on. She said she was so lucky to have such a lovely room. The staff made her feel like she was on holiday in a 5* hotel. The beautifully tended gardens were a welcome distraction from any personal discomfort. Her carers treated her with kindness dignity and thoughtfulness with light hearted chatter and jokes to cheer her. It is not an easy job being a carer but they have made light of every difficult situation. Nothing was too much trouble in the same situation Woodland Manor is where I would go.
Thank you for such a heartfelt review of our home. Your kind comments will be shared with the team and are very much appreciated by all of us here at Woodland Manor. Sincerely, Annie.
It's a marvelous place and I've really enjoyed being here. The staff have been so helpful.
Very pleased well treated, staff are courteous and helpful.
Thank you for your review - we're all delighted you feel this way. Best wishes, Annie
Very pleasant.
My sister stayed at this care home for approximately two months, under an arrangement with Wexham Park Hospital NHS. During this stay my sister received an exceptionally high standard of care, from all members of staff. All aspects of her care were outstanding and the management has created a friendly and caring atmosphere. Very efficient and knowledgeable staff working together as a team.
Thank you for sharing your experience of Woodland Manor. We're delighted that we were able to provide the support your sister needed. Best wishes, Annie.
