Woodlands Park provide a professional caring service when you need it most. This extends to all friends and family as well, along with the user. Their compassion, guidance and empathy from all staff members is their greatest asset. Nothing is too much trouble and our friend was very happy and settled
in their care. I thoroughly recommend Woodland Park Care Home and I am very grateful for all their help.

Woodlands is a lovely friendly caring home in beautiful surroundings. The staff interact well with my mum's experience of living with Alzheimer's. She herself is always happy in her surroundings, which are bright, airy and safe for her to wonder. We are very assured that all her needs are met with professional
care.

My wife's father has been a resident for a number of years now. Although he is suffering profoundly with dementia, Woodlands is his home. The staff and fellow residents are his family and he continues to be settled and content amongst this caring family. I therefore, have no reservation in recommending
Woodlands as a caring home for fellow dementia sufferers.

Our mother arrived at Woodlands, having lived in a country setting for all of her life. She, therefore, felt at home in this spacious, sunny house surrounded by fields full of horses. She (accompanied initially by her dog) was made to feel safe; she was free to explore, helped by the different colours
of the main reception rooms; she was entertained as far as her capacity would allow, and as her condition has deteriorated we have been so impressed by the gentle friendliness, good cheer, and care of the staff. This consideration has been extended to us as her family, and during a recent crisis, we were hugely helped by the way that we were consulted and reassured, and by the warmth of the hospitality shown by staff, by night and day.

My father has been at Woodlands now for over 4 years and I have nothing but praise for the staff. The love, care and understanding they show my father is second to none. He is in the latter stages of dementia and can have some very difficult days, but the staff are so accepting and understanding.
However, his behaviour just never seems to phase them. Upon entering the home you are aware of 'the family' atmosphere and, you as a relative, feel part of that family. The home is a splendid old manor house and the grounds are beautifully tendered. I would have no hesitation in recommending this home to anyone who has to make one of the most difficult decisions ever - placing a much-loved parent into the hands of someone else to look after.

Woodlands park enjoys a beautiful situation for reaching views over open countryside. There is a lovely warm atmosphere, and relatives are always given a lovely welcome by staff. Residents are treated with great kindness, patience and dignity, first names are used and one is given the feeling of a family
friendly environment. There are some exceptional staff there but recent shortages have meant employing some agency staff which is never so satisfactory. The rooms are decorated in a bright an rather quirky way. My partner appears to be very settled there.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.961)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.961) out of 10 for Woodlands Park Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.961 for Woodlands Park Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (147 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 153 Ratings = 4.961

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Woodlands Park Care Centre is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
