Saxonwood had been referred to us by several people as a warm, happy place with excellent care. I have not been disappointed. Since my sister moved in she has been treated with the utmost respect. She has complex needs but always feels supported and included in all activities etc. My sister is happy
and secure here.

Reply from Lizzie Gurr, Communications Executive at Saxonwood

Thank you for this brilliant review. It's great to hear how happy and content your sister is at Saxonwood and how you are also pleased with our service.

My Mother is a resident of Woodlands Care Home. I visit often with my wife. The care home is good in all care, activities, and safety/security and satisfactory in all other areas. It seems well managed and the staff are fine. I would like to see more care staff and perhaps more individual choices of
food.

Reply from Lizzie Gurr, Marketing and Communications Officer at Woodlands

Thank you for your review and feedback. It's great you visit regularly with our open visiting hours, and that you think our care, activities, safety and management is good. We have noted areas where you are not as satisfied and as a result our Chef Manager has met with your Mother to discuss choices of food to make sure she's happy - we know how important meal times are. We have also arranged to meet you to hear your feedback and further discuss your points. Thank you for taking the time to review us.

A very welcoming care home. My mum spent a short respite break at Saxonwood and the staff made her feel very much at home and special.
The building, especially the lounge, is bright and airy and her room was very comfortable and easily accessible.

Reply from Lizzie Gurr, Communications & Engagement Officer at Saxonwood

Thank you for your 5* review. We're pleased your Mum enjoyed her stay at Saxonwood and felt at home. You're welcome to come and join an activity or lunch, if you'd like to keep in touch. Just drop us a line!

Saxonwood Care Home is a haven for my Mum. She is warm and well cared for by genuinely kind staff. The food is specially prepared for her and as she says she doesn't have to shop, cook, or wash up, she just has to eat!
She is a joy to visit because she is so glad of this place.

Mum had been at Woodlands since February 2020 and was well cared for despite being a little bit fussy. Nothing was too much trouble for the care staff. In September she became unwell and didn't want to go to hospital. She passed away at Woodlands under the care of the capable and lovely staff. Myself
and my sister were glad that her wishes were listened to and we were grateful for the care that she received. She left this world in a peaceful place. Thank you all.

Reply from Lizzie Gurr, Marketing & Communications Executive at Woodlands

Thank you for your kind review. We're pleased you found our care staff attentive and friendly, and we understand the importance of wishes at the end of a life, we're pleased we were able to support you and your Mum at this sad time.

I cannot give a high enough recommendation for Saxonwood.
The level of care, respect and integrity given to residents by all the extremely attentive and diligent members of staff is the level many other care homes should aspire to.

The new decoration and layout of the communal rooms gives an impression of being at home. It is a great improvement and demonstrates the caring attitude of the home.

Reply from Lizzie Gurr, Communications & Engagement Officer at Woodlands

Thank you for your review. Following feedback in our relatives survey about the red colour scheme in the lounge, we've redecorated the lounge and dining room a lighter colour and we're pleased you feel it's more homely. We love it too!

On arriving I was met with a friendly welcome and shown to the dining room to join my stepfather in a competition. All were pretty intent at this, I was able to help a little with one or two of the anagrams, however, he didn't come first but it was clear that it was a successful morning. All too soon
it was lunch time and time to be away to do my shopping and get my lunch!

Reply from Lizzie Gurr, Communications and Engagement Officer at Saxonwood

Thank you for your 5* review about your visit to see your stepfather at Saxonwood. It sounds like you enjoyed the word game activity, together with your relative and other residents. We love welcoming visitors to join in with our activities! Thank you for visiting.

Saxonwood has been wonderful to my 94-year-old neighbour. The care has been exemplary and she has been treated with dignity at all times. She has improved in confidence and offered encouragement at all times. I have no hesitation in recommending Saxonwood for either respite or long-term care.

Reply from Lizzie Gurr, Communications and Engagement at Saxonwood

Thank you for your 5* review, it's great to hear how happy you are with the care of your neighbour. All of our staff are trained in providing dignity and respect and we're pleased to hear you see these qualities shining through in the care we provide. Thank you.

It's a very good home and the food is excellent but one or two carers could be more caring.

Reply from Lizzie Gurr, Communications & Engagement Officer at Woodlands

Thank you for your review. We're pleased that you find Woodlands a good home and enjoy our freshly home-cooked meals. Following your feedback about a couple of carers, we would like to thank you for your time chatting with our senior managers last week and appreciate your feedback. As a result of your feedback, we are arranging a 'person-centred care' refresher workshop and training for all of our staff to attend, and we would like to arrange a catch-up meeting with you soon to follow up on our progress.

Communication between Woodlands staff and us is excellent, we receive regular updates and opportunities to discuss Mum's care. We recently attended the second relatives meeting where several of the staff team contributed to inform us of important aspects of the day-to-day running of the home- recruitment
of staff, catering, activities and events, maintenance etc. The team encouraged feedback from relatives and responded constructively to suggestions. In addition, we always feel able to speak to any member of the staff if we have a query about Mum and know we have been listened to. We appreciate that relatives can visit at any time and are included in many of the events and activities. Our experience is that Woodlands promote openness in communication with relatives. Thank you all.
