Ever since Granda came to live here, he has became so much brighter and happier. We always know he is in such great care and feeling happy. The team are excellent and never fail to stop and chat.

We were really nervous about leaving my mother in law for the first time but the manager and the team really made it easier. Nothing is too much trouble, all of the staff are brilliant and made her welcome. She's come back from a much needed respite happy and made some friends and we are so
grateful.

My dad has Alzheimer's and mixed dementia. It was becoming increasingly difficult and unsafe for him to live independently in his own flat (even with a home care package). He loves it here. The staff are, without exception, very caring and understanding of his needs. The home is always immaculate,
and very welcoming and inclusive. I am so happy in the knowledge that my dad is being looked after by the very best 'team'.

This is my grandad's first week at Woodhorn Park and the care and compassion that is shown here is fantastic! Everyone is so friendly and approachable and all of our questions have been answered. He has been involved in activities such as singing and dominoes and has sat in the garden! As a family
we cannot thank you enough, you are all amazing!

My mum recently had a six week respite stay at Barchester Woodhorn Park Care Home. This enabled Mum to recover from a long hospital stay in a safe, friendly, comfortable environment. When you first walk into the home, it has a lovely atmosphere, the residents look happy, the staff are helpful and
friendly. The home is extremely clean, well-furnished and nothing is too much trouble should you need anything. I would like to thank the manager and all the staff at Woodhorn for taking such good care of my mum.

My mother-in-law has been at Barchester Woodhorn Park Care Home for thirteen years and is very happy there. The staff are friendly and happy as is the manager and administrator and always happy to answer any questions. The home is spotlessly clean and there're always activities going on for the
residents.

I am always impressed with the level of care and friendliness of the staff, I am kept up to date with all aspects of Mam's care, this is very much appreciated. When I visit, I am always made to feel welcome, I never feel it is a chore for staff to chat.

Our father has been in the care home for over a year now after initially trying it for two weeks of respite previously. As his health diminishes, it's fair to say that he has been a bit of a challenge for everyone, but you have to give credit to the manager and her team for the patience they have
displayed throughout. My brother and I can rest knowing that he is in very safe hands getting looked after in every way. The communication from the home is excellent, and we are always advised if there is any issue to attend to which we appreciate. Thank you.

My aunt moved to the home and has thrived since moving in she has gained weight and looks amazing.
She joins in all activities, the staff are great and management are always on hand and they are very friendly and welcoming to the home.
Would recommend this home if anyone is looking for a
placement.

I was extremely concerned about my mam settling in a care home however she has settled in well in Barchester Woodhorn Park Care Home and says she feels safe and cared for. She has complex needs so this is a big thing for her and me! The staff are lovely, the manager is extremely caring and
empathetic. I'm sure this is why she has settled in so well.
Her room is bright, airy and spacious. She has sight problems but can get around just fine.
She's sometimes a picky eater but her choices are accommodated by the catering team so she's eating well which is great to know.
The atmosphere in Woodhorn Park is positive and happy. From the first time I went into Woodhorn Park, I had very positive vibes and it's still the case now Mam is settled there.

My dad came in October 2023 as a respite resident for a week, and we couldn’t get him to leave. He was a shell of a man until coming to Woodhorn, now he is back to the Dad and Grandad we all know and love. We can’t thank all the staff enough from the housekeepers to the kitchen staff, the carers and
the office staff.

Team are so helpful. Mum is thriving in this home, and is always cheerful, and that is all down to the attitude of all the team, who are a credit to the general manager. Can't praise them enough. The home and Mum's room are always clean and tidy, and Mum is always immaculately groomed. Nothing is
too much trouble for the staff and I would always recommend this home to anyone looking for somewhere to put a relative.

Since our dad came to Woodhorn Park, we believe that they have saved his life. We have found the home to be welcoming, a nice relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. The staff are welcoming and friendly. They all interact with my dad, and he loves living here. Nothing is too much bother for them. The staff
engage and listen to all patients and relatives and relay all information to family. Dad enjoys his meals, saying that the food is 'top-notch' and enjoys taking part in the activities in the home.

Mum has only been in for twelve days and the change we have seen from her last home within your group is very noticeable.
She is more engaged and brighter in herself and this has been very enlightening for us.
Joining in and being sociable with other residents is nice to see.
The management and
team are a credit to your organisation.

The accommodation (room respite) was a high standard. Staff very caring, approachable, and friendly. Cleanliness of the unit was very good. Meals were excellent, always a choice. Could not give anything negative about Woodhorn Park, everything is positive.

I have found both the staff and management very friendly and approachable. The home has a very cheery atmosphere. My sister-in-law loves where she is and would hate to go anywhere else. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for looking after my sister-in-law and keep up the good
work.

Staff are always welcoming when entering the home. Happy to give updates and feedback for Mum. Mum has taken time to settle in but only to be expected with her dementia. She has good days and bad but the staff are always on hand to diffuse a situation and take her mind off being in a care home.

Mam has received excellent care from day one. She's always treated like family and the staff are amazing with our mam.
