As soon as you walk into Woodford House, you are welcomed like a part of the family. Always ask how you are and tell you how dad's been. Staff are very friendly and professional, and go above and beyond. Lovely surroundings and great interior. Wouldn't wish my dad anywhere else. Well, apart from,
well, at home.

The care that my dad has received since he has moved to Woodford has been excellent. There is a welcoming atmosphere as soon as you walk in, and the staff are always trying their best to entertain everyone. Food was one of dad's comforts when he lived alone. Woodford does their very best to cater
for his random requests, going out of their way in their own time to get him what he wants.

My cousin David has been at the home for a few years now. He has Alzheimer's, and his condition has deteriorated over time as expected. The Woodford staff have been excellent right from day one. The home staff are always friendly and accommodating, and they regularly review David to ensure that his
care needs are met. I have absolute confidence that David is being very well looked after, which is a great comfort! I would highly recommend the Woodford Nursing Home to anyone.

This is an excellent home for patients with dementia. I would recommend it to anyone.

This is the first experience our family has had of the care system. I was apprehensive. My husband became a resident in October 2025. I soon became aware of the kindness and caring atmosphere the staff created. Not just for my husband but for me. I was in need of emotional comfort. I had all the
support I needed. The professionalism is excellent. We have become part of the family of Woodford with our regular visits. Becoming friends with the residents, their family and staff. I can only thank everyone who cares for my husband. He has settled and receives the utmost care under difficult situations at times.

My dad has been at Woodford for over a year and it is apparent how loving, caring and nurturing the staff are to all of their residents. They have taken the time to get to know Dad on a personal level and have provided him with a multitude of activities in and out of the home, which has supported
him in maintaining some sort of normality during the later stages of his dementia. During his residency, he has visited the Grand Theatre and the local pub for his lunch, which I know he thoroughly enjoyed and has been on many walks. Communication at Woodford is incredible, with the staff being continuously proactive, supportive and informative in person and over the phone. The home has put on various events throughout the year which are always incredibly enjoyable to attend. It is evident how much effort and time the staff have for their residents and it is so reassuring to know that my lovely Dad is receiving the care that he requires and deserves. Forever grateful to the staff at Woodford!

I find the environment calming. Staff are attentive to the residents. The living room and dining room which I've only been in they are clean and tidy. They seem to put activities and TV on that is age appropriate. All staff seem willing to help and support as well as answer any questions. It might
not be grand but caring is fantastic.
10 February 2026
Staff always welcoming. Warm atmosphere. All residents are clean and tidy. Lots of staff on hand. Residents all seem contended, food looks appetising and healthy. Regular offer of drinks, snacks including fruit.

My dad has been Woodford House for 2 months and we have absolutely no issues. We noticed immediately the number of staff on hand to help support the residents and this continues to be the case. I appreciate that there are better looking buildings but ultimately the question that needs to be asked is
'what does my loved one need?' We looked around many homes and so glad we chose this one. Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff, both in their help to dad as well as support to family members. I would list them all but limited on word count. The experience from ensuring everyone is moving regularly, snacking, eating, drinking regularly, encouraging engagement, the timing of activities, nursing experience, empathy, the list goes on. There is also a good mix of young and more experienced and I've experience of other homes in the past but they could definitely take a lesson or two from Tina and the team. Thank you to all and my advice, look at the people not the building.

Woodford House have helped us as a family to deal with the horrible Alzheimer's disease which our Father is living with in Woodford house.
There care is second to none they are all fantastic with our Dad and us, they simply cannot do enough for you as a family
27 January 2026
My father has been a resident for several months and I find Woodford House a loving and caring place for my father who has been known to be very unpredictable but has now settled down very well due to the whole staff who treat him as one of their own and as a result you cannot find any fault of any
significance and me and my family can only praise and them all for their help and consideration to my father and to us as a family. The only inconvenience is that there is no public transport. Apart from that its well done Woodford House.

The Christmas party at the care home was truly heart-warming and thoughtfully arranged. It was clear how much care and effort the staff put into making the day special for the residents, particularly those living with dementia. The decorations created a festive yet calm atmosphere, and the music was
familiar and comforting, which really helped engage the residents. Our mom seemed relaxed and happy, and it was lovely to see her smiling and responding to the songs and activities. The staff were attentive, patient, and genuinely kind, taking time to include everyone at their own pace and ensuring no one felt overwhelmed. As a family, it meant a great deal to see our mom enjoying the occasion and to feel confident she is in such caring hands. We are very grateful to the whole team for creating such a meaningful Christmas celebration and for the ongoing dedication they show every day.

Woodford house has been home for my dad for three years and words cannot describe what a wonderful place it is, to show how happy we are with the care it became my uncle's home eighteen months later and he remained there until his death. The care they show not only to the residents but to us as
family is amazing. They threw a little party for my mums birthday earlier in the year and for my recent birthday they sent me a card from my dad complete with his fingerprints. Putting a loved one in a care home is one of the most difficult decisions to make but the peace of mind that comes when you know they are so well cared for is unparalleled. The staff are truly amazing and we couldn't be more grateful for the care they give.
23 November 2022
I find Woodford House Nursing Home meets current government legislation and guidelines for the care of the residents in their care. However, I find a major problem with communication between some management and staff. Also following up and providing feedback on complaints is very ad-hoc I find there
is confusion when booking appointments for visitors or hospital consultations and errors regarding paperwork. When I have complained formally regarding this I received a corporate verbal apology not written and an assurance this will not happen again. It does happen again and yet another apology. I have concerns regarding health and safety in certain areas and have addressed these concerns with the manager. I feel the building and security is reminiscent of a 1980s institutional centre and has not really come onto the 21st century regarding vision, scope and development for the future needs of the residents and client needs.

My husband has been a resident at Woodford House for several years with complex needs.
All the staff, nurses, carers, reception, catering staff, cleaners, laundry staff and handyman all work hard to make Woodford a happy, caring environment for our loved ones to live in, under very difficult
circumstances at times.
The home manager and staff member who deals with the dementia pathways, who works between another home in the group and Woodford do an excellent job in explaining and sorting out any problems that arise. Calls are made to me to inform me of any problems or issues that arise with my husband, which I find very reassuring.
The well-being team work well with the residents with music, walks and various activity programs.
No home is perfect but everyone at Woodford tries their best to make this a happy loving home for our loved ones. I have to admit for myself an open and honest relationship with the management team is a bonus.
