Its care staff have completed a range of training from induction and mandatory training to more specialist individual and/or small group coaching.
The care home has looked closely at what it takes to live a good life with dementia and staff are determined to share their expertise with everyone who comes to live at the home.
Residents can bring their own furniture for their room and will consider any request for a pet to live within the home. Residents are encouraged to receive visitors at any time. If it’s during mealtimes then the staff can make arrangements for you to have a meal with your visitor in your room.
Together the home cooked food and the busy activity programme ensures that residents enjoy the best of days. Special events and meals are planned for residents and families throughout the year, with friends and family welcome to book a table in the dining room for either breakfast, lunch or dinner.
The lovely rooms are a variety of sizes, some with en-suites. It would encourage anyone moving to Woodlands Care Home to bring in items to personalise your room, bringing in a touch of homes. Some of the rooms have garden views, others have sea views but whichever room you choose I’m sure you will be very happy with.
There’s plenty going on in this home and staff actively encourage residents to continue with lifelong hobbies and interests, whatever they might be. Or alternatively, residents might enjoy trying a new interesting activity.
Whichever or both, the care team as well as the activity team are happy to promote, encourage and attend any activity to ensure that residents have fun and fulfilment in their lives. The aim is to promote stimulation for mind and body as well as general wellbeing.
Any new ideas for recreational activities are welcome! A regular newsletter produced for both residents and their family's keep’s everyone in touch with what is going on at Woodlands Care Home.

Our experience of Woodlands Care Home has been very good, with Dad and Mum (now deceased) being cared for. We appreciated the phone contact where required.

I have been amazed with the care and support my brother has received from those working at Woodlands Care Home.

Many thanks to you all.

All the staff I have come in contact with have been amazing. You can tell they genuinely care for the residents even in testing times. I also love the activities they do with the residents (baking, reading, dancing, crafts, manicures etc.) and it’s always warm inside.

My mum moved into the home on the 1st of November, so very recently. We went into the home the day before mum moved in to set up her room, the staff and the handyman could not have been more helpful. Mum loves living there and is truly happy in her words she "Feels safe". Mum is content which is such a relief to myself and my sisters.

Care staff work in small teams, exercise (infinite) patience and really do care for and about their residents. The team leader is proactive in solving problems to meet Mum's needs. I am kept up to date with any occurrence involving my mum's situation. Communication is excellent and is fundamental...
Woodlands suits my mother very well and I have already recommended the home to others seeking care for their loved ones.
What a lovely review. It's wonderful to read that the work of the whole team ensures your mum's care but also that you have peace of mind and enjoyable visits. Thank you for letting us know your thoughts.
Dad is well cared for in Woodlands and is as happy as he could be. The staff always make me feel welcome and involved in his care.

Initially heard about Woodlands from a recommendation from a friend. Not been disappointed with the standard of care my mother has received in the past two years. In fact, I have found the staff to be professional, extremely caring and able to offer a high standard of care for residents with challenging and individual needs. Very happy with my choice of care provided for my mum and I would be happy to recommend Woodlands Care Home.
What a lovely review. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

My mother has been in Woodlands for seven months and has had excellent care throughout. All her medical issues are taken care of and I am updated on any changes. Her room is well equipped, practical but still homely. The staff all appear to have a genuine bond with the residents. My mother feels safe and content here and this in turn gives me and the rest of the family peace of mind that she is in good hands.
What a wonderful review. It's great to read that not only your mother but the wider family are all happy with her care. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.
The staff and team at Woodlands can't do enough for my grandma, they make her feel comfortable and relaxed and it's always a pleasure to visit her here.

I give Woodlands the highest possible recommendation to any family needing a residential place for a loved one in the future
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. It is wonderful to read what a positive impact moving to Woodlands has had on both you and your wife.
The staff are outstanding. My dad has been living at Woodlands for less than a year, but in that short period of time, they have given him the best care that anyone could ask for. They look after his emotional needs as well as his physical needs and I can see that there is genuine affection in the...
I can't imagine a better place for my dad now, and I'm so glad we found Woodlands.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It's great to read that your dad has settled so well. It's lovely to hear that the team are sharing your dad's success stories and nice moments, this is so important.
We were overwhelmed by the standard offered to Dad when he went into the home. Lots of support for both us and Dad. He’s never seemed happier and we love to see the regular videos on Facebook. Dad’s gained his appetite back and we’re very happy that he’s settled and he clearly loves the staff...
Great job by the staff - thank you.
Thank you so much for submitting your review. It's great to read how well your dad is doing and very special to read that he considers he has a new family. What a compliment to the team.

Our major concern with the home is the lack of activities and outings. Dementia patients need stimulation of the mind but on almost all of our visits, we never see Mum being engaged in mental activities such as books, board games or even conversation. We feel this lack of activity exacerbates dementia.
Many thanks for sharing your concerns and please accept our apologies for any shortfalls in the service we are providing. We do invest a lot of time trying to understand individuals, their personalities, likes and dislikes. For some ‘activities’ are not easily tolerated and whilst we can and do...
Many thanks for sharing your concerns and please accept our apologies for any shortfalls in the service we are providing. We do invest a lot of time trying to understand individuals, their personalities, likes and dislikes. For some ‘activities’ are not easily tolerated and whilst we can and do encourage participation sometimes people don’t have patience to sit or chat with others. Where appropriate we use everyday tasks to offer meaningful occupation. This can include washing up, bed making, setting tables, dusting and tidying as they are easily remembered, helping someone feel useful and at home. We do hold care plan review meetings, usually 1 – 6 monthly dependent on need. This is an opportunity to meet families and share knowledge of their loved ones. Please feel free to contact any member of our team should you wish to discuss further.
Woodlands Westhoughton care home has always cared for my Mum's needs. The staff always appear to be well informed and extremely professional and find time to discuss any needs for Mum or assistance we may need. I would recommend Woodlands Westhoughton to nay family and friends.

Hi, my name is Vicky. I am the Registered Manager at Woodlands Care Home.
I have been the Manager here since June 2022, although I have worked at Woodlands Care Home since 2015, working my way up the levels from a carer to team leader, then deputy manager for 4 years before becoming Registered manager.
I absolutely love my job at Woodlands Care Home and pride myself on knowing every one of our residents, and I have good relationships with the families of our residents.
I have a brilliant team of staff who all give 100% to their roles.
I believe everyone should be treated as an individual, and we fully promote person-centred care. I feel I am very approachable to staff and visitors, which is reflected in the reviews we receive.
