The staff are incredibly kind and professional, making my dad feel at home and always loved. The facilities are very clean, warm and spacious. All the staff are attentive, professional, and genuinely care about the residents' wellbeing. Not only do they make my dad feel special but also when we
visit the care and compassion we are shown is also second to none, if you are looking for a special place for a special person then I would highly recommend Wood Norton.

Our experience with the Wood Norton home has been very good, the meals - the service- the care and attention that the carers give also the medical service the nurses provide, all of these make my wife feel cared for, also for me when visiting my wife on a daily basis. The staff look after me. My
wife has had a stroke which has affected all of her left hand side, she cannot walk, she needs to be hoisted out of bed into a wheelchair or onto a bed pan, this makes it all the more difficult for her, but with the help of carers and all the staff at Wood Norton, she is managing very well.

The care my dad has recieved has been second to none. From the moment we arrived & were greeted by a wonderful team of staff who straight away put both my dad & myself at ease & it was very apparent that he was in the right place & would be well cared for, indeed this has exceeded expectations. The
staff are so thoughtful & Dad wants for nothing & they will even fetch him a glass of wine if he so wishes! This is a very hard time for our family but the atmosphere & light, clean & airy 'home' makes it a pleasure to visit.

Almost no words that can show my gratitude to the kindness, efficiency that all of the staff gave to both my Mum and me to make us welcome on her first day at the Wood Norton. They had everything ready for her arrival, well aware of the medication she requires, made sure everything was perfect. As
it was VE Day there was a party for the residents (with special entertainers for the event), They let Mum settle into her new beautiful environment, fed her then asked if she would like to join in with the celebrations - well she did and my last look at her before I left to go home was Mum included in a round table with others - she was singing - what more could you ask for - this Nursing Homes is remarkable & the staff should receive every accolade - thank you

Both my parents have been resident at Wood Norton since July 24 within an assisted living apartment. Working closely with the team at WN it was decided that their needs could now only be met by moving them to the care floor. With the fact that my Mom suffers from Alzheimer's it meant that Mom has
moved to Marlbrook Ward and Dad to Hanbury, the first time they had been apart in 70 years. The care and attention that the staff have given to make this work, going beyond the norm has been wonderful and working it so they still have valuable time together during the day.
We cannot thank everyone at Wood Norton enough, and that goes for staff in every function and at every level. At what are difficult times they are caring and fully understand the situation / issues involved.
Many thanks to everyone.

My sister and I are grateful that Hanbury care floor were able to welcome our mother with less than 48 hours notice after a fall, leaving her unable to move independently. The specialist equipment available on this floor means she is able to be showered and generally cared for with dignity.
The
team liaise with local doctors practices, occupational and physiotherapists. They have organised hospital transport and provided additional equipment as required.
Staff are on call 24/7 and are kind, helpful, considerate, friendly and caring. They encourage mum to join in with activities both on the care floor and within the village generally.
The food is extremely good, there are always three choices for lunch, and the vegetarian option is appetising and appealing- so much so that our father often joins her for lunch!
Our parents are going to remain at Richmond Village in one of the assisted living suites where mum will have the benefit of domiciliary care in a caring and safe environment.

Mum came into a respite bed following a gas leak at home. Unfortunately she found the ward very noisy, phones weren't answered and her buzzer wasn't answered when she needed help. I had gone through the timings of her meds with the nursing staff (she has to take 2 at different times to the others)
but this didn't happen. With one exception I was not very impressed with the staff, and the day I was told that the ward was not a hotel was the day I moved Mum out of the care wing and into the Assisted Living wing.
I was grateful that they took her as we were desperate but I would think twice if she needed to go back into the care wing.

After a short stay in hospital, Dad was unable to return to his suite in assisted living at Wood Norton, so he moved onto the care floor for palliative care. Hanbury staff looked after Dad very well for the final few weeks of his life, in a warm, caring, and friendly environment.

After my mother was discharged from Hospital, we decided to book her into Wood Norton Care Floor for respite care. Mum was there for three weeks and I am sure, if we had not placed her in the excellent care of the team at Wood Norton, she would not have recovered so well from her illness.
The
environment was homely and relaxing, providing the perfect place to rest and recuperate. The care team was second to none, nothing was too much trouble. I observed many interactions between Mum and the staff, who were always friendly and respectful.
Mum left Wood Norton's Care Floor a much stronger person than when she arrived. We are very grateful to all the staff who helped her recover.
28 January 2025
My mother came to Wood Norton for 3 weeks of Respite care.
She was looked after so well, nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. They treated her as an individual and at no time did she feel their schedule was more important than she was.
Her room was immaculate, cleaned daily, and
bright and airy.
The food was appetising, piping hot, beautifully presented, and very tasty. To begin with, she wasn't eating much so the kitchen made her an individual plate to suit her taste on the day.
She definitely recovered very well and rebuilt her confidence.
She is living independently back at home.
I would strongly recommend WN for any care requirements.

We cannot praise Hanbury Floor staff highly enough. Their care was second to none. The cleanliness was excellent. My Uncle's stay here was a home from home once my Auntie could no longer care for him at their home.

The staff are very kind and caring and are always here for me, the nurses and manager are very good.

My mum was admitted to Richmond Villages Wood Norton last year, due to ill health and mobility issues. She had experienced a series of falls in a previous care home. We were well-supported throughout the whole process. We found it to be a clean, safe and well-run environment. Mum was treated with
kindness, compassion and respect, as myself and my family were.
All staff from nurses and carers to cleaners, hosts, receptionists and administrators, were kind, caring and very respectful. All are very in tune to the needs of residents and families.
Mum spent her last few months there, where she was treated with compassion and dignity, until she sadly, peacefully passed away.

Following an abdominal operation in hospital, I was cared for on 'Hanbury' by a wonderfully experienced team. It made such a difference to my recovery having a lovely room with a beautiful outlook across fields and woodland, and to have thoughtfully appointed wet room as well as adjustable bed. All
the staff were delightful, kind, thoughtful and seeing that, was needed to help me. I recognise that their care speeded up my recovery from the operation.
22 July 2024
Lack of care! The employees are just doing a job in my opinion. Have been told lots of false truths about my Mother's care in the time she has been there.
21 May 2024
My experience with the wonderful team on Hanbury care unit was such a positive one, despite the tragic circumstances, when my Mum spent four weeks there at the end of her life. I was anxious to find the best nursing home for her needs and know I absolutely made the right choice. I was impressed by
the beautiful decor, cleanliness and fresh smell of the entire facility. The managers, nursing and care staff could not have been more attentive - checking on Mum and I frequently and showering her with love and kindness. The nurses were always willing to answer questions or address my concerns about her condition and they never made me feel like a nuisance. They spent time getting to know us and updated me daily on how she was doing. Mum could not talk but I knew from the way her face would light up with a big smile when she was with the staff that she felt safe and cared for. As she approached the very end of her life I was allowed to stay and the staff were so supportive and respectful. I 100% recommended them.
20 March 2024
I am very well looked after and happy.

After an operation on my back in December I was discharged from hospital without a package. I was pleased with the respite I had. Staff were friendly and cheerful and all the staff were extremely helpful and caring. The care manager was also extremely helpful. The only criticism I have is the
physiotherapy (probs because I was in Christmas and New Year) and difficulty in replacing any pills that had run out.
29 December 2023
My Mum was extremely reluctant and very upset about having to go into a home, but the staff were amazing, and Mum eventually settled in, giving high praise for the care received and the wonderful accommodation.
She was only there for 7 weeks and sadly passed away a few days ago, but I know during
her time there that the care was exceptional, the staff were so friendly, supportive, thoughtful, professional, brilliant!
A huge thank you to all the staff, care, cleaning, kitchen, reception and management. I was always made to feel very welcome when visiting, I will miss seeing them all (and the cups of tea). Thank you.
30 October 2023
Rang the care home on Monday morning, and we were able to take Mum in the following day.
All the staff were extremely helpful and welcoming, and the whole process was made very easy.
A superb facility.
