Dad is happy at the home and the carers have good relationships with him and the other residents. He is well looked after and I am confident that he is safe in the home.

Mum has been here for 9 months and she is much safer with care and support all day rather than on few visits from carers which is what we had before. Mum is generally happy but likes to stay in her room - not sure why but likely it's her condition, she was always so sociable before.

I am a regular daily visitor and my opinion is as follows. My wife has Alzheimer's and she is bed bound. The subsequent care she receives is second to none. I can't ask for any more.

My wife has been a resident of Woodland Court for 18months and I am extremely pleased with the care and treatment my wife is receiving. From cleaners, launderers and care staff who are very pleasant and able to fulfil my wife's care and treatment with a cheerful and expert way. My wife could not be
in better care.

I am grateful for the peace of mind Woodland Court gives me. My mother is looked after by a very caring and friendly staff. The home is always warm and clean. Lots of activities and music playing which residents like. Families are always welcome and encouraged to take part in lots of things, such as
Christmas, Easter, Halloween etc. It is a very homely place.

My father is very happy at Woodland Court. The carers are exceptionally caring and the home feels like an extended family. There are always staff available to help if needed and there are regular activities. Communication between the staff and residents family is very good. The only negative comment
would be that the lounge feels a little cramped at times.

The staff in this are home are better than excellent. The home does not just focus on the resident to a very high standard but family members are also made to feel welcome.
My father was always shaved and dressed.
This was my first encounter with residential care and I would certainly recommend this
establishment. I would like to say a big Thank you to ALL the staff.

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.
