We are shocked and saddened to hear of your experience. Woodlands strives to provide an excellent service and has always been proud of its nursing and management teams, who have worked at the home for many years. We understand the complexity of funding and I can only apologise if you weren’t sufficiently informed, or decisions were taken which you don’t feel were in your relative’s best interest. However, this was an NHS decision and not influenced by the care home. <br>We are also sorry you didn’t find the home comfortable or run efficiently.  <br>I apologise your father’s clothes were not known to our laundry staff and you were asked to identify them.  I’m sure you appreciate this is a mammoth task, which is why we request families to name all items brought into the home. I would also like to reassure all residents and their families that we are continuing to upgrade Woodlands and recognise the need to meet everyone’s preferences. We are sorry not to have met your expectations.
