We are exceptionally happy with Mum's care at Woodlands. The staff go over and above in their care and kindness. Woodlands has a homely feel, and the staff are warm and friendly to residents and to the families who visit. I feel very lucky to have found Woodlands, and mum has improved since her arrival here 2 1/5 years ago.

Warm, friendly welcome l asked for somewhere we could go and sit quietly as this was my first visit to the home, we were shown to a very nice quiet room so l could talk with my sister who hearing difficulties hearing with noise and lots going on around her. We had been invited that afternoon to a entertainment afternoon which was very nicely presented, only problem not enough chairs had not been put out, noted food was very nice but had been put out into a very open sunny spot, needed shading as cream and cakes were in full sunlight. The garden was beautiful full of colour l could see a lot work evolved .

You cannot improve on perfection. It is one of the best I have been in (I have visited quite a lot and I used to have a pet as a therapy dog/dogs) for 21 years. They were caring, friendly and my dear friend who is there is so very happy. She looks so well since she has been in Woodlands. The facilities are amazing, the food delicious (so my friend says she and I are vegetarian).

The quality of care was fantastic!. The staff and care team provide incredible bespoke care to an individual providing genuine empathy and interest in the resident no matter what their situation or needs. The whole team are incredibly welcoming to all visitors and go out of their way to support any needs where possible. My father found a second home and family within Woodlands and we can thank them enough for everything they have did for him! Thank you to all.

The staff at Woodlands continue to provide gold standard care for my dad who has been a resident there for the past 7 months. Dad loves all the trips and activities that are on offer and the enrichment they provide give him the opportunity to socialise and feel part of the wider community. The staff are attentive to all dad's needs and communication effectively with family members about his wellbeing and health. Woodlands is very 'resident focused', there I always something going on and in the words of my dad ' the staff are always there to help and they can't do enough for you'.

Whenever we visit our friend, there is always a warm and helpful reception. The staff look after the residents as if it was someone much loved in their family. There is care reflected everywhere. Garden comfort for residents and visitors, activities such as PAT drop and outside visits. Well done! (Have only ticked ones I can comment on!)

This home has done a great job of settling in Mum, who moved all the way from Cornwall to be nearer her family. It has a lovely atmosphere, and nothing is too much for the staff, very accommodating. Thank you to you all.

We were anxious about transitioning Mum to live at Woodlands. However, our experience has been overwhelmingly positive - no negatives AT ALL!! The litmus test was Mum herself who literally bloomed from day one at Woodlands. She has expressed no wish to return to her own home, which is a great surprise to us. All of her needs are met so caringly - our family have been impressed by quite how much all the staff care about their job and each and every resident. The food is nutritious and delicious; the trips are great fun and Mum ( who would not leave her home before) has been on nearly all of them!!! The staff member who organises the FANTASTIC entertainment, is an absolute joy and this rubs off on all the residents. Anyone considering sending an elderly relative to Woodlands should have absolute confidence that Woodlands brings quality and positivity to the latter years. THANK YOU SO much to the wonderful team at Woodlands

My sister-in-law has lived here for a year. We are a close family & when I visit the UK, I always visit for asd long as I can! The staff make you welcome & the atmosphere is very welcoming too. I know she is safe, well taken care of and never feels cold or just another body to be looked at. Thank you for being here! I'll be back next year to say hello & thanks for all you & the staff who work very hard to make sure the residents are safe.

I'm always struck by the friendliness and "can do" attitude of the staff. The staff at every level are welcoming and kind. I'm kept well informed about the welfare of my mother and have no doubt whatsoever that she is in the best environment for her stage in life.

Mum has been a resident of Woodlands for a number of years. We have always been more than satisfied with the excellent care she has received. Mum's care needs have changed gradually over the years and her care plan has always been carefully tailored to meet these needs. Staff are friendly and courteous, treating family and residents with respect and empathy. I would strongly recommend Woodlands to anyone looking for care for their relative.

Woodlands has been the home for my 95-year-old father for 2 years now. He suffers from some vascular dementia. In that time I have found that the genuine care and love of the Woodlands team for my father has alleviated his anxiety greatly, and has kept him in good health for all of that time. Any health issues that do occur, (and at 95 they do occur) are dealt with fast professionally and creatively. They have a "can do" attitude at Woodlands. Not only do I trust them completely with my Father's care, but I would trust them with my own should it come to that. Great care homes do exist- they just don't get in the media. Thank you Woodlands.

Communication is excellent, always able to talk to someone when I visit. Staff are very caring and upbeat. Range of activities are great and big push to include all regardless of ability/disability. Excellent individual care when my mother is frailer than usual. My mother has thrived during her time at Woodlands.
21 February 2025
I have always found the atmosphere very encouraging and welcoming and the staff friendly and helpful. Any questions are dealt with on the day and this instils confidence. Any health problems have been immediately communicated to me. The residents all seem to be happy and well looked after.

My brother has been living in the care home for the past 18 months. I have to say during this time although his mental capacity has deteriorated due to dementia, his physical health has improved due to the excellent care given by all the staff in the home. Kindness goes such a long way, and that's apparent in buckets.

Mum is now in her third year at Woodlands and is well looked after. She is gradually losing her independence and the team have been very good at responding to this by adjusting the care and support that she needs. This has not been easy for her to accept but the team remain sensitive to her frustrations and mood changes, and are always trying to support her. Communication with the home is excellent - there is always someone available if we need to get in touch, and we are always kept informed of any significant changes or issues. There is also a lot of thought and effort put into organising a wide range of different activities each week for the residents.
20 February 2025
Very satisfied, overall service at Woodlands is excellent. My mother is happy and enjoys the activities, and it is nice to know she is being looked after so well. The care provided is great and the staff really helpful. Thanks for all your help.

My Mum has now been in Woodlands for 14 months. She is very happy and enjoys the wide and varied range of activities that are offered and participates in as many as she can. She has made a few good friends since she moved in and has nothing but glowing compliments for the staff and the food. The regular trips out for coffee, museums, to the local pubs and garden centres are all included in her fees and she makes the most of these when she can. The weekly newsletters with pictures of the residents enjoying their activities and the following week's programme are especially helpful. I have found the staff at Woodlands amazing. They are all very helpful, caring and completely "on the ball". The moment I arrive I am made to feel welcome and whoever is on the front desk always knows where Mum is, what she's doing etc. She has personalised her room so it really feels like her home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Woodlands to anyone who is looking for somewhere for their loved one.
