All the staff are well trained and treat everyone as if they are one of their own family. I feel leaving my husband here gives me confidence that he is safe. Also we are kept up to date if anything happens ie falls, change of tablets etc.

My father is a resident at this care home, and overall I am very happy with the care he receives. The staff are kind, attentive, and genuinely care about the residents' wellbeing. Communication has been good, and I feel reassured knowing he is in a safe and supportive environment.
The only area
that has felt lacking at times is the range and frequency of activities available for residents. However, it does seem that the home is aware of this and is making efforts to improve, which is encouraging.
Overall, I am pleased with the care provided and appreciate the commitment shown by the staff to ensure the residents' quality of life.

Whenever I go into Woodstock, I am greeted politely and with a friendly smile.
I asked for mum to have a footstool in November and by December they were there. Mum is always happy and chatty when awake.The other residents are always happy and chatty. Clean and tidy. The house never smells or
looks untidy.

I always found that my Mum was very well looked after by the staff, she was always happy and contented. Her room was always clean and spotless. She always enjoyed being in the lounge and taking everything in, and the staff always paid attention to her. I always found the staff friendly and welcoming
on my daily visits to the home.

My dad has Lewy Body dementia and has been in the home for maybe 6 months roughly. I just wanted to put a review as a huge thank you to the home's amazing staff, who do everything with love and care as if he were a member of their family. I wish he could be home with me, but Woodstock is the next
best thing. It might not look the poshest or most polished interior but the love and care are second to none, and the new Manager, Catherine appears to be a great new asset, professional, communicative and caring.

My short time here has been a happy and forfilling time, absolutely the treatment I needed was met very friendly and extremely efficient.
Every member of staff are so willing and friendly, it really is a comfortable safe surrounding with excellent facilities.
Very good food and lots of tea, I
came here very low but staff have fixed me.

On choosing Woodstock, I was pleased with the lady who showed me around. Later, I was told that a total of 6 months of refurbishment was in operation. It turned out to be a new front door and decoration on the Ground Floor was all. The room my wife was in was never cleaned properly, floor dust etc.
was left for 5 months, toilet rolls were missing for days at a time. Bins are not emptied after a day. the laundry service was a joke. My wife's clothes went missing, and strangers' clothes were in place instead. My wife lost her wedding ring, various clothes, a commemorative coin etc. The food was very basic, and no attempt to make a meal to appeal to her, was ever offered. My overview is that the Manager and her staff were doing their best to manage under severe financial restraints. The owners should be ashamed.

The staff were welcoming they made every effort to make my uncle comfortable and out of pain. We were all treated with respect at all times.

I always felt that my partner was settled and well cared for, whilst he was there. I would recommend Woodstock very highly.

My sister been there few months and I found there is no hand gel in dispensers or bathroom , or tissues on tables for residents the residents eat before cleaning hands n never yet seen staff clean their hands between residents , I find this the only problems as staff are caring food looks lovely n
warm with lovely garden but hygiene issue needs to be looked into I have spoken to staff but the manager is not there weekends when we visit
24 January 2025
My young husband received palliative, end-of-life care at the home and passed away at the setting. The care that he received was brilliant. The home not only looked after him but they also supported our family, especially in the last few days. The home advocated for him, ensuring he received the
best care possible to keep him comfortable and pain-free by working with the community palliative team, regularly changing medication to align to his clinical need. He had a very peaceful passing despite very complex clinical needs. All of the staff genuinely care about the residents and their families. They are compassionate and empathetic. I cannot rate this home highly enough for palliative care. The home is clean with good infection prevention control measures in place. The staff are diligent and have good awareness of IPC. The home are also accommodating to the families' requests as much as possible, making the setting appear less clinical and more like a family home.

Very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. All the staff seem to be well-trained, especially for residents with dementia. There are always staff available to help both residents and visitors. Rooms are basic but well provided for. Pleasant dining room which choice of food!
21 May 2024
I am so relieved to see my dad getting the care he so desperately needs. The staff, the premises and the whole experience of visiting him on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday have been exceptional. Today, Tuesday was extra special as there was music which my dad and I loved. Thank you from the bottom of
my heart.

Woodstock is wonderfully run and residents are happy and well caredl for. We could not have wished for anything more for Mum who was sympathetically and professionally cared for in this positive, happy environment. The manager and her team offer everything you could want for your loved one and we
would not hesitate to recommend Woodstock as a safe and caring home
28 November 2023
I am so grateful to the Manager of Woodstock and her competent and caring team of staff, for the excellent and efficient care they gave to my mother who was a resident during her few last weeks of life. The friendliness and respect shown towards mum by every member of the staff, both nursing and
domestic, who had contact with her, was superb, and the warm and caring attitudes of the staff were always extended to me and my family whenever we visited. I would thoroughly recommend Woodstock Nursing Home to all potential residents and their families.

My father was moved to this care home after failing to settle at his previous one.
He is much more settled and happy. He engages much better now when I visit.
Staff are always helpful and reassure Dad when he is upset or confused.
Well done Woodstock!
28 July 2023
I must say the time my husband was in the nursing home he was very settled and enjoyed the afternoon visits by various organisations. The manager and staff where wonderful and caring. I just wish it had been nearer to where we live, I would never have moved him. He had a wonderful ensuite and was
very happy. One staff member could get him to really laugh. Thank you all.
21 July 2023
My first impression, as I walked in the nursing home on 28th May 2023, was the warm and friendly greeting I received from the nurse who opened the door! I told her who I was and that I came from Canada to visit my sister. I was taken to a small lounge area where we could have a one-on-one
interaction. I visited my sister for three weeks, four hours a day, so I got to know the routines. We spent quality time outside in the garden, watching the residents and staff plant flowers. The ones who were able to walk were outside in the beautiful weather.
But the concern I have regarding safety/security is when she is in that small bed at night and there is no railing in case she becomes restless during the night and falls.
20 July 2023
I have been really impressed by Woodstock Nursing Home.
From the first e-mail enquiry with head office to my initial visit and then making the decision that Woodstock and the wider team met our expectations of what we wanted from a care home.
The staff headed up by the manager are all friendly,
kind and compassionate towards my mother and our family interested in getting to know us as much as my mother.
Nothing is too much trouble.
Her room is on the ground floor looking out onto the garden which my mother will love as she likes to see any visiting birds in the garden.
Woodstock is a home from home for my mum and the staff take pride in looking after the residents and themselves.
We are all family should be a motto for Woodstock.
28 March 2023
My first impression was good, I loved the layout with ground floor access to the dining room, lounge and garden. The family were able to visit for my husband's birthday and were shown to a private room for the occasion. His room was spotless with matching bedding and his wet room adjoining. Tv and
monitors. A lovely light and airy room. So far the care has been fantastic and I can see great improvement so far in his well-being.
