We spent a lot of time finding the best care for my mother who was suffering from dementia. Woodley Grange immediately had the feel of a well run caring environment where she would be happy. At no time have we regretted the choice. The staff have remained cheerful and caring in the face of considerable
adversity. I could not recommend this place more highly.

My father settled into Woodley Grange two years ago and sadly passed away, recently. From beginning to end he was cared for with professionalism, dignity and compassion. The range of activities is outstanding, the food is varied and high quality and the standard of cleanliness and maintenance is high.
Understandably, COVID restrictions had a big impact but every member of the team rose to the challenge. As a family, we were consulted, guided and supported at all times. I can highly recommend Woodley Grange.

Hi Janet, thank you for your kind words. The staff at Woodley Grange will be delighted to hear your feedback.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Having visited a number of care homes for our mother, my sister and I were becoming somewhat disillusioned with what we had found. However, this soon changed when we arrived, unannounced, at Woodley Grange. Met by the manager, we were made to feel welcome in a lovely home. Bright, clean with friendly
attentive staff, it just felt like a place where Mum would be happy and well cared for. Fortunately, a lovely room soon became available and a return visit with Mum confirmed our earlier impressions. Mum has been at the home for some time now but in all this time, she has never failed to be treated with love, kindness and dignity by all the wonderful staff, even as her needs have increased. Obviously, times have been difficult as a result of Covid but the staff have gone above and beyond, ensuring all residents remain as safe as possible. Thanks to them all.
Would we recommend Woodley Grange? We already have on a number of occasions.

My mother has received the very best of care and comfort from all of the Woodley Grange staff, especially with the additional strains caused by the pandemic. While not being in a position to allow visits, we have been afforded regular Zoom calls and frequent updates as to her comfort and state of health.
Our family wish to offer Woodley Grange our immense thanks for all of the attention given and for the professional manner in which they have offered such excellent care and been so understanding of her specific needs. Score 10+.

Our father was a resident at Woodley Grange for just over two years. Throughout his stay, he was warmly and respectfully cared for and was extremely happy. Towards the end of his life, that care became more specific, and the team proved very capable in handling his condition and in turn, our expectations,
feeling and emotions. I would wholeheartedly recommend the carers, the infrastructure and the location/rooms etc to anyone considering such a life change for their loved ones.

My dear mum has been a resident at Woodley Grange for several years now. I cannot emphasize enough how excellent the home is. Throughout Mum's stay, the staff have been nothing more than brilliant, in fact, brilliant just does not do it justice. The staff and everything about Woodley Grange is wonderful.
They have shown Mum care, support, love and affection - everything you could wish for when the day comes that you have to make the gruelling decision to have to put your dearest in a home. I would honestly recommend Woodley Grange to anyone - and I do. Mum had a fall several years ago and broke her hip. My brother and I were so worried as we were told by the hospital that if Mum couldn't get back on her feet she may have to move to another home. We prayed that she would walk again, and she did. We were so, so happy as it meant she could go back to Woodley Grange. I have never met such truly wonderful, caring staff in my life. Hats off to them all and my mum is so, so happy there.

Reply from Rizwan Walji, Operational Director at Woodley Grange

Thank you so much for your beautiful review, which the staff will be really happy to read. Mum is certainly a wonderful lady and we are so pleased that you are happy with the loving care she receives.

My mother was a resident at Woodley Grange for two and a half years but sadly passed away recently. This review is in recognition of the professionalism, resilience, dedication, skill and commitment of all the well-trained staff and management team at Woodley Grange. Visiting my mother was like walking
into a hotel. We were always greeted smiles and warmth. No matter how busy the staff seemed to be, my mother was always treated with dignity, patience, kindness and compassion, which was reassuring and a great comfort to us. The facilities and environment are excellent, with so many varied activities organised by the social team.
We have always admired the way in which this care home is managed, no more so than during this harrowing time of lockdowns and distress. We are sure their excellent record of vigilance and care for their residents through this crisis will speak volumes. The staff at Woodley Grange will always remain our friends and have our immense gratitude.

Holistically, it would be difficult to find fault with any element of Woodley Grange. They make a difficult and emotionally upsetting time easier to deal with. Being attentive to personal needs and safety were/are reassuring and allowed for confidence to be regained. NB. This stay was for a short 'respite'
period, funded by LA and we have difficulty assessing the "value for money" aspect.

My mother spent 6 very happy years here. She settled in very quickly helped by the caring approach of the staff and the excellent food. She was always treated as an individual and any of her preferences were respected. She would often say to me how lucky she was. As a family, we were always welcomed
when we visited and found the staff and management very friendly and approachable. My mother had her 90th birthday in the home with family and friends present. A room and food were provided. Nothing was too much trouble.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.901)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.901) out of 10 for Woodley Grange 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 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 4.901 for Woodley Grange is calculated as follows: ( (250 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 273 Ratings = 4.901

  • 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 Woodley Grange 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, 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.
