The staff here are fantastic, Mum's condition is such that she can be very difficult, and violent even at times but the staff are so patient and caring to her. I am so grateful that she is in this care home.

It's like a home away from home. All the staff are so friendly and care for Mum very well. It's not impersonal at all. The size of the home is perfect as everyone knows everyone. Very clean. Mum is treated with dignity. Very happy with everything.

Myself and my wife are so pleased with Mum's transition into her new home. When we say 'home' that is the most evident word. Mum has been in five-star homes and she has not received the care and support that she has received over the past few weeks. All care staff have been amazing, the manager brilliant
and we can't thank you enough.

Mam is well looked after at Woodland Court, the staff treat her with dignity and respect. They always give her choices, and even with her illness they never assume or make the decision for her. The care home communicates well with me, and always gives me updates on my visits. The staff are friendly,
professional and welcoming.

Always helpful and go out of their way to make life easy for everybody (visitor and resident). The place is kept very clean and smells clean every day that I have been there.
My wife is quite happy in the home and the service is very good.
The staff are very patient in dealing with everybody (residents
and visitors) and seem to enjoy the atmosphere in the home.

The staff are friendly and they look after my Mum well. I know she is safe and cared for. Any problems are dealt with fairly quickly. I appreciate that there is a lot of laundry to cope with but sometimes items take a long time before reappearing in the wardrobe.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.719)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.719) out of 10 for Woodland Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.719 for Woodland Court is calculated as follows: ( (198 Excellents x 5) + (68 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 270 Ratings = 4.719

  • 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 Woodland Court is based on 23 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 23 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.
