I've been incredibly impressed with the level of care provided at Woodford House. Since my father became a resident, the positive change in him has been clear to see. He seems happier, more engaged, and overall much better in himself.
What really makes this place stand out is the staff. They are
consistently kind, patient, and genuinely caring in their approach. It's obvious they take the time to build meaningful relationships with residents, rather than just carrying out duties. Their approach to interaction is excellent - always respectful, warm, and encouraging.
The team goes above and beyond to support both the physical and emotional well-being of residents. Seeing my father respond so well to the environment and the people around him has been incredibly reassuring.
I'm very grateful for everything they do and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Woodford House to anyone looking for high-quality, compassionate care

The staff are very friendly, caring and helpful. The security is amazing, very clean. Care home keep residents active and happy. The bedrooms are very spacious, so are the bathrooms. Clean bed every day, keeps residents clean and tidy. Space for residents to socialize with others.

Overall, I have found the care home very friendly and nothing too much trouble. I think when visiting a resident with one-to-one care, some privacy should be given. As the carer is always present, and as a visitor, I find this sometimes difficult.

We have experience of two other care homes and this is third, and the best for care, and my brother is settled here.

Woodford House is a friendly, happy house, acknowledging all carers. Obviously, there are occasions when, due to the mental state of some residents. There are tears which cannot be avoided, but staff do their best to overcome the situation. All rooms are kept as clean and tidy as is humanly
possible. The carers and supporting staff are excellent; they attend to any major or minor incidents that occur or are on the point of occurring with the same professionalism. You see them watching residents and move immediately to prevent an incident happening. They are good at talking people out of situations.

My mother-in-law has been a resident at this care home for many years, and this is purely due to the wonderful care she receives. All the staff show patience, kindness and treat her with the utmost dignity. Communication is excellent, always keeping us well-informed. The home is homely and calm,
making it home from home for mom. Knowing she is well cared for in a safe environment, by compassionate staff, gives our family so much reassurance. We cannot thank them enough! Well done Woodford Staff....Five Stars!!!

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 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.

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.
