My brother arrived n Christmas Eve. The move caused some minor confusion and it took some days for him to feel settled and this included the need to change rooms. The staff has been unfailingly kind throughout all of this and helped him to settle in. They understand his individual need and are kind
to him. The senior staff have been very helpful to me as I navigate the systems. This home is way ahead of his former home and I rest easy knowing he is in good hands.

Myself and my family are very impressed and pleased with the way our mother is being treated. She is looked after with a lot of care and affection and all her needs are being met by the carers and nurses. Our mother gets on well with all of the staff where she is shown love and respected. Our mother
enjoys all of the meals she is served and we have tasted some ourselves and can testify to this. The meals are all home cooked onsite. As a family, we feel totally supported by Jino and nothing is too much trouble. Also, the welcoming smile of Justine and her ever helpful suggestions, advice and support. Thank you to everyone. Rachel and family

At a very difficult time for us as a family, when our Mum had to move into residential dementia care, the whole staff team, from the new resident manager (who is now the home manager) to the care staff and nurses, the admin staff and cleaners, all were so kind, helpful, and reassuring that we have
never had a moments doubt that our mother was in the right place. I have seen their calm, gentle and professional approach many times during my visits even when doing the most mundane and personal tasks such as personal care. Mum has now been at Woodchurch House for over 18 months and in that time the staff team has changed very little which is in itself a sign of good management and very reassuring for us and for her. We are always welcomed, whatever time of day we arrive to visit. Mum is eating and drinking much more now than she was when she was at home and looks clean and well cared for and has a loving relationship with the carers and nurses on the first floor. We couldn't ask for more.

Both of my parents needed to go into a care home due to their health and problems. In my eyes we couldn't have found a better home. They both have been living there for 3 years this year, I haven't had to worry once in this time, as the care, help, food etc is 1st class, you can tell this as mum and
dad have always been happy.
Unfortunately we lost Dad a couple of months back, a sad time, but the home and the care we all had helped us through this difficult period. The home also let us have dads wake back at the home, this made things easier for mum to be in her familiar surroundings and it was nice as it also allowed the residents to join in with us, couldn't have asked for the afternoon to go any better, it was lovely. It also allowed us all to enjoy some of the lovely food that the home caters / provides on a daily basis, yum.
Mum is adjusting to living on her own now, the carers are looking after her nicely, I wouldn't want mum to be anywhere else.

It is impossible to encapsulate in words our exceptional experience at Woodchurch House. From the very first second on the telephone with Jino, to the compassionate support from all staff, carers and reception manager, it felt like a sanctuary. My mother received the utmost kindness and truly
dignified care that extended to her family. During the most difficult and poignant of times, we were supported, listened to and made to feel safe. I saw how all residents were honoured and treated with personal attention, kindness and respect. I had no fear of leaving my loved one in their more than capable care. The entire facility is clean, comfortable and welcoming. All staff we encountered were so attentive, with sincere focus on caring for and pleasing their residents. They alleviated countless fears, and went beyond any expectation. This is humanity at its finest. Our sincere gratitude to all staff we encountered.

Although Dad was only in Woodchurch House for a short time, we were really impressed. The staff were all caring, efficient and really nice, we knew dad was well cared for.
The rooms are light and spacious and very clean. Both my husband and I left today after clearing dad's room and said when our
time comes, Woodchurch House is where we are going.

Would just like to say, we decided to put our mum in care home as we all work, and she agreed with the idea, for a short period, but my mum loves it there, and want to stay there,I couldn't ask for better care, and have no worries when I go home, Jino helped with everything to get my mum in there,
he couldn't of been more helpful, the manager Sarah, is brilliant, any problems she deals with it straight away, all the care staff are so helpful and caring , and can't do enough, I'm so glad we picked Woodchurch House, would not let her go anywhere else now, food is lovely and if they can will get want she wants, could not recommend this care home enough.

I would recommend Woodchurch House to anyone whose loved ones need 24 hour care.The care offered is exceptional and in the short time my mother was there she was well looked after by the staff who always showed great compassion and kindness to her and the family. We will always be forever grateful.

My father was at Woodchurch House for 18 months. He was very well cared for by all the staff and we were always made to feel a welcome part of the Woodchurch House community. The care staff were always happy to help. The new resident manager and the nurse also stood out as excellent support
throughout my father's time there. THANK YOU

Improvements have been made at Woodchurch over the last couple of months. I think the challenge now is to maintain current staffs and continue to train them in caring for the residents.
Small changes in the corridors with lovely pictures, a more welcoming communal area on the first floor, along
with changes to the dining set up have all made such a difference.

A few weeks ago, my husband moved into the Dementia unit at Woodchurch House. Initially he was very unsettled but with constant support, encouragement, and compassion from all members of staff he is now less anxious and seems happier. I have 24/7 access to his care records and if necessary, am
contacted or can discuss problems with staff members when I visit. The management, carers and support staff are very professional, treat everyone with dignity and respect and always have a smile! With large rooms, freshly cooked food, a variety of daily activities to stimulate and engage the residents it is a great environment. Placing a loved into permanent residential care is a very tough decision but I am so pleased he is now part of the Woodchurch House family. It is a caring, welcoming, and very friendly home. I thoroughly recommend it.

I would not trust this home with my dog let alone a family member. Safeguarding team have contacted me regarding the serious attack on my sister by a male resident that they dismissed.
1. Residents allowed in communal areas semi-naked - upsetting residents.
2. Male residents attacking female
residents causing long term injury.
3. Maintenance is appalling. My sister's room was flooding for two days making the bathroom inaccessible.
4. The smell is horrendous (recognising that this is often the case in homes like this).
5. The new patient manager is amazing hence two stars.
6. Registered Manager/Home Manager invisible.

My husband was very satisfied with his respite stay at Woodchurch House. The staff were very nice and friendly. The food was excellent. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The lounge was great and he made new friends. Everything was 5 stars.
My husband was so happy there that I was
able to have a proper break without worrying about him too much. We will be back soon, Thank you!

Woodchurch House Care Home has a happy welcoming atmosphere. All of the staff are very caring and hardworking from the managers, cleaners, maintenance staff, office staff, nurses and carers. My mum has only been in the home for a few months but right from beginning I have found them to be very
helpful and supportive. The staff keep me well informed of any changes to her medical needs and welfare.
I would definitely recommend this Home to other families and friends.
11 December 2024
Great facilities, staff and admission process very professional. Residents are treated well, with extra attention given to activities and making sure the residents are occupied and entertained. We have found the staff to be very accommodating and flexible.
11 December 2024
I find the standard of care exceptional. I would highly recommend Woodchurch House. The staff are always kind and very pleasant. As a visitor I am always made to feel welcome. Effort is always made with decorations in the lounge to celebrate various events throughout the year.

The home gave my mother a great 85th Birthday party. They provided decorations and food. She has a fantastic time and really enjoyed it. This is just one example of how the home has made my mum feel welcomed and cared for. I couldn't hope for better.
23 May 2024
The word 'care' is what happens at Woodchurch House. Right from management to cleaners, absolutely fantastic. I can recommend this house if anybody wants my opinion, brilliant. In my opinion, money doesn't come into it, but it's worth every penny.
26 April 2024
Just like to say, first all, the staff on 3rd floor where my husband is and the office staff and management are very caring and helpful towards me. Got contact 24/7. Amazing, nothing too much trouble. All the food cooked fresh each day. My husband loves the homemade biscuits.
26 April 2024
Our experience of Woodchurch House is overwhelmingly wonderful, very nervous at first about bringing my father-in-law into a nursing home as unsure what to expect but all our worries were put at rest. All Staff whether reception staff to caring staff are amazing, nothing is a trouble to them, they
are helpful and brilliant with the residents whatever problems they have.
