It was my first visit after my friend admitted the previous day. I was helped with the booking in system and directed up to the 1st floor. My friend appeared well cared for and was supervised by staff unobtrusively. She seemed much herself and settled in the new environment. It was clean and homely. Lovely gardens noted through the window and look forwards to enjoying them in fine weather.

My husband went to live in the home in April 2025. I have found the staff and management to be helpful and reassuring while my husband settled in. I have observed that the staff are very kind and caring to the residents and treat them as individuals and with respect. My husband does not have a big appetite, but the food has been excellent and varied and everyone is catered for,.

My sister is well cared for in Woodlands. Although her Alzheimer's has progressed, every effort is made by carers to satisfy her needs. If I have criticism it is that sometimes there doesn't seem enough staff to facilitate all needs. Activities are good but again it seems some residents need more to occupy them. Overall I'm happy with the care my sister receives
24 July 2025
Excellent care towards the residents. Personal needs met as required regular activities for residents available.

Very patient carers and very helpful.

My mother has been well cared for in her time at Woodlands. Staff have listened to any concerns my brother may have had about mums health and wellbeing. I particularly love to see mum get involved in enrichment activities even though her dementia is advanced. All in all a good decision to move her to the home. Staff are generally very good.

I cannot praise the staff and facilities at Woodlands enough. From my very first contact with one of the staff through to moving my dad into his room, she was lovely and explained everything I need to know. All the staff I have met are so friendly and always willing to help. The building is lovely, very modern, clean and well equipped with everything the residents need. 5 stars from me!

Woodlands has such a lovely atmosphere as a care home. Every member of staff I have encountered on my many visits have been friendly, extremely caring and professional, they really got to know my father and treated him with dignity and respect. The home is spotless and my father's clothes were always clean and ironed. He enjoyed his food a great deal and polished off every meal, even on his last day. I was so pleased that I chose Woodlands for the care of my dear Dad in his final years.

From my initial visit to look around Woodlands, I immediately felt this was the best place for my mum (I even got a personal recommendation as I was leaving from the son of a resident!!) My mum has settled in well. Despite it being an emotional time for the family, we are glad with the choice we made. Can not fault anybody/anything. Woodlands is now our family too!

Sadly, my wife's dementia became too much for me to care for her anymore, and she moved into Woodlands Care Home in Westhoughton just before Christmas. She settled in very quickly and is very happy and content. The staff are extremely attentive and caring and seem to enjoy their work. The layout of the unit is bright and colourful. There are regular activities arranged by the staff as well as a large garden outside as part of the care home, where residents can be taken to enjoy further activities. Her bedroom is light and airy with an ensuite shower and toilet, and she is checked every two hours at night as well as there being a detector mat in if she gets out of bed at night, which can elicit an immediate response from the staff. I can not think of anything that would make it better, and this gives me peace of mind, and I am able to visit her every day.

I have found Woodlands to be a very kind, friendly & more importantly, excellent care home. It became a lifeline for my father & family.

The staff on Daisy Hill are always amazing looking after my Grandma. They treat her with kindness, respect and show they always care. As a regular visitor I love seeing the staff and they always make me feel welcome. The space is always clean and all residents are seen to be treated with so much care.

Mum has only been here a short time but has settled well. All staff are attentive, supportive and strive to help as much as possible. Also have a very positive & caring attitude to residents and visitors alike.

Over the Christmas period my dad's dementia became too much for my mum to manage and we took the very difficult decision to seek care for him. Woodlands has made all of this so much more straightforward than we imagined. The staff have been amazing with him and all of the difficult red tape was handled for us by the office team. All of his needs are catered for and he is so well looked after.

The staff have made the whole transition into a care home situation so much more bearable. The time they give the family to listen and support is invaluable. Every member of the team - the maintenance, the cleaner, the management, the administrator, the front desk lady, and the caring team - each one has been so lovely as well as professionally outstanding. It is a huge relief to know our mum is safe, clean and well-cared for. Thank you so much.

I have visited Woodlands a few times since my dear friend became a resident in September. Each time I visit I'm greeted by a friendly receptionist and welcomed by staff. Woodlands is spotlessly clean (smells fresh, not like other homes) and I know my friend is looked after by the very caring staff. Lots of care is shown by beautiful displays in the halls and foyer and activities seen to be enjoyed by residents. Well done!

My mum has only been in Woodlands for two weeks so far due to her not being safe at home anymore. And wow what an amazing place. When you walk in, it smells lovely and you're welcomed with a big smile from the lady on the desk. All the staff seem happy and will chat with you about any concerns. They have activities on most days, which my mum enjoys. The rooms are spacious with en-suites and we can take items from home, we took a lot of family pictures and they were soon put up on her walls. It's so good to see our mum happy again, we can also take her dog in to visit and he gets spoilt also. My mum is still settling at the moment but as a family, we are very happy with Woodlands and know we made a great choice.

My aunt's health has deteriorated and staff have been excellent in their support and considerate to all wishes including her family. The support and care have been very good in over 2 years my aunt has resided here. The staff are approachable and take on board our feelings. There are always activities going on, and celebrations galore. The environment is bright and welcoming. I've been able to visit at any time and personalise her room. No complaints.

My mother is happy, well cared for, well nourished and her medical needs catered for. The staff are lovely, and caring and can always find time to talk to the residents. One of the staff is solely responsible for organising activities and trips (e.g. on the anniversary of D-Day, all of the tables had Union Jacks on them and they had a special meal). The staff always have time to talk to us.
31 July 2024
All staff are hard working in what they do. The rooms are all clean and well-maintained. The residents are all clean and tidy. Woodlands is very welcoming, all staff are really helpful, nothing is too much trouble and it is a pleasure to visit my mother at Woodlands.
