That's really kind of you and your family to take the time to submit this wonderful review of your Mum's care whilst at Woodlands, following surgery. We're really proud of our teams and our homes, and it means such a lot to receive praise and thanks from residents and their families. We're really grateful for that, and the team at Woodlands will be thrilled! Thanks again.

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.949) out of 10 for Woodlands House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.949 for Woodlands House is calculated as follows: ( (205 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.949
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 House is based on 18 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 18 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.

Job Title: Registered Manager
Joined: 2013
Hi, my name is Katie and I have had the privilege of working in a variety of care settings for the past 16 years. For 11 of these wonderful years, I have been working for the fantastically supportive company - Hartford Care. Our amazing staff work tirelessly to ensure our residents get the very best care they deserve, ensuring everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
During my time working in the care sector, I have undergone a variety of courses to widen my knowledge, including my NVQ level 5 in leadership and management.
I aim to ensure all residents enjoy their time whilst living in our care homes, and that their relatives feel comfortable and welcome to visit their loved ones. I endeavour to help my staff to feel empowered and supported; to build on their experiences and to learn to think outside of the box.
I pride myself on leading by example and going the extra mile to ensure the residents' needs are always put first.
In my spare time, I like to support my local community and volunteer for the local food bank.
I look forward to getting to know you all and working with you to bring life and laughter to your loved one’s next chapter in their lives.

Hi, I’m Keeley Pitman.
I joined the Hartford Care family in December 2018 as a Care Assistant at West Cliff Hall. I transferred to Woodlands House in September 2021 as a Senior Care Assistant and was quickly promoted to my current position of Deputy Manager.
Hartford care takes pride in promoting within the company and giving staff the skills and knowledge to do so and I thoroughly enjoy working for them. Our team, here at Woodlands, ensures our residents are happy and safe and have meaningful lives.
