My friend HS has been staying at Woodside, and he's always told me how kind and caring the staff have been. They've supported him with his health needs, appointments, and daily care with real patience, and communication has always been open and reassuring. I'm his only friend here, and been a big
part of his life, so seeing him treated with such respect has meant a lot. He's now preparing to return to India, and the home has worked incredibly hard to make this possible, handling the practical steps and keeping his wellbeing at the centre of everything. This move means so much to him, especially with his health issues and his family being so far away. From what I've seen, Woodside has truly gone above and beyond, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

My mum was a resident at woodside for a couple of years. The care she received when she first arrived was great. Staff were kind and caring, manager was helpful, food was good, the room was small but adequate, but the toilet in the room was not usable. As time went on care deteriorated. My mum ended
up with bed sores, she had a broken arm which could not be explained, lots of male staff looking after personal care after i had requested this should stop. As a family we felt like we were not listened to. The only consistent at the home was the long term staff who always kept us informed.

The home is providing excellent care. All the staff working in the home are excellent and doing a great job. The care home is really clean and have good facilities for the residents. The residents are treated with dignity, and it provides a safe environment for them. The food and drinks provided in
the home is very good. The activities offered to the residents are good and keep the residents engaged.

My mother has been at resident in Woodside for nearly two years now. Although the property is not a bespoke care home it has charm but more than this, the care team are incredible. They treat residents with a high level of care and support relating to individual needs. There is a real personal
element that helps the resident and family cope with the trauma of dementia and the needs which can no longer be provided in the home situation. Woodside recently held a lovely 70th wedding anniversary for my parents which included a beautifully laid table and menu with a delicious meal. We were able to invite some special friends and relatives enabling my mum and dad to enjoy the day with a fantastic cake. We are able to visit mum whenever which is a huge benefit to my dad, who struggles with the separation that my mums needs has meant. We are always met with a smile and all the team are so welcoming and engaging.
I could say so much more. Thank you Woodside.

The team always ensure mum is well cared for, looking after all her needs. They ensure her appearance and hygiene is as she would of liked to ensure she is comfortable, fed and kept safe. On her birthday they put balloons in her room and the staff came in singing happy birthday with cake and
candles. We are very happy for mum to be at Woodside.

Choosing where to place a loved one is never easy, but the staff at Woodside made it an easy decision. Unfortunately, Dad was not at the care home long, but we know he would have been happy there.
20 June 2025
Even though my dad was a resident at Woodside for a short period of time, the care and support he and extended family had was faultless.

Woodside have looked after my mother since 2021 until she passed away recently. The dedication of the staff and level of care they provided her was exemplary,and they were always willing to go the extra mile. Even when it came to end of life management,the staff were so caring and compassionate and
helped us through this difficult process with kindness and dignity.

The care my father has received over the last 2 years has always been kind and compassionate.
We were kept notified of any changes in health and medications regularly.
There was always staff on hand ready to help and he was kept clean and well fed.
I could not have asked for better care at the
end of his life where they ensured he was kept comfortable and pain free updating family on a regular basis.

My sister in law has been here for eight months. She has settled in really well. I find the staff and management really competent and caring, and go the extra mile.

Outstanding care provided by all staff. The carers are friendly and supportive to patients and families. The premises are spotlessly clean. The food is excellent.
My mum was very well looked after and I would fully recommend this care home. The management will do anything to ensure that residents
and families' needs are met.

My wife died in April 2024 after almost 4 years nursing care at Woodside. She suffered from complex medical needs including vascular dementia and Type 1 diabetes. Her care was first class and the staff went above and beyond our expectations in looking after her, especially during Covid, sometimes
working extended shifts in an emergency. We were in awe at how shocked and upset the staff were when my wife finally passed away. We will always be extremely grateful for all their efforts to make her last few years as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

We found that he is well looked after, spotlessly clean, well-fed. The staff are amazing. His room is well-decorated and always clean. The home is always spotlessly clean every time we visit. The gardens always look good.

The management is of great support to me. I am very happy.

My mother entered the nursing home a couple of months ago after a period of respite care at another facility. We cannot thank the staff at Woodside enough for their care and dedication. Each time we visit Mum, who has dementia and Parkinson's; she greets us with a wave and a smile, and it is the
same when we leave. As visitors, we are made to feel very welcome, and our presence is valued. Our impressions have been very positive, and we are very grateful to the staff.
13 June 2024
My husband received respite care from the home for a week. He was very unsettled initially with the change, but all of the staff at the home helped to ease the transition. He received excellent care and I found the staff to be very friendly and accommodating.

Our aunt has dementia and has been a resident at Woodside since October 2020. She receives excellent care and kindness from all the staff. We are kept well informed of her needs and health issues. Her room is spacious and always warm, clean and tidy. The manager's door is always open for a chat.
We
are very happy with Woodside knowing that she is so well cared for.

My Mother-in-law is receiving palliative care from the manager and her wonderful team. For the past 2 months, I cannot fault the compassion, care, and kindness shown to both my Mother-in-law and ourselves. The staff really are very attentive and continually adapt to the care requirements as she
progresses through her end-of-life journey. We feel assured she is getting the best care. In my opinion, the manager leads and manages a great well-staffed team.
08 March 2024
Very good service provided. Regular meals and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Facilities are very good and the cleanliness of the premises cannot be faulted. It's a really clean environment. The rooms are very spacious and the staff are always on hand to help if needed. The management have
been particularly helpful in providing us with any required information.

Dad was cared for very well at Woodside Care Home. He built up a very good rapport with his carers
