Woodlands is a thirty-nine-bedroom residential care home with an excellent reputation in the Fleet community for the consistently high standards of elderly care it achieves. The home was rated as 'Outstanding' by the CQC in 2019.

Trained carers provide 24-hour care and support for the residents, helping to support them in their chosen lifestyle choices and care needs. Residents' dignity and independence are respected at all times. There is a full activities and social programme for residents to participate and enjoy.

Mum has been a resident of Woodlands for a number of years. We have always been more than satisfied with the excellent care she has received. Mum's care needs have changed gradually over the years and her care plan has always been carefully tailored to meet these needs. Staff are friendly and courteous,
treating family and residents with respect and empathy. I would strongly recommend Woodlands to anyone looking for care for their relative.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review. Your kind words will mean so much to all of the staff at Woodlands. It is an honour and a privilege to care for your Mum.

Woodlands has been the home for my 95-year-old father for 2 years now. He suffers from some vascular dementia. In that time I have found that the genuine care and love of the Woodlands team for my father has alleviated his anxiety greatly, and has kept him in good health for all of that time. Any health
issues that do occur, (and at 95 they do occur) are dealt with fast professionally and creatively. They have a "can do" attitude at Woodlands. Not only do I trust them completely with my Father's care, but I would trust them with my own should it come to that. Great care homes do exist- they just don't get in the media. Thank you Woodlands.

Communication is excellent, always able to talk to someone when I visit. Staff are very caring and upbeat. Range of activities are great and big push to include all regardless of ability/disability. Excellent individual care when my mother is frailer than usual. My mother has thrived during her time

My brother has been living in the care home for the past 18 months. I have to say during this time although his mental capacity has deteriorated due to dementia, his physical health has improved due to the excellent care given by all the staff in the home. Kindness goes such a long way, and that's apparent
in buckets.

Mum is now in her third year at Woodlands and is well looked after. She is gradually losing her independence and the team have been very good at responding to this by adjusting the care and support that she needs. This has not been easy for her to accept but the team remain sensitive to her frustrations
and mood changes, and are always trying to support her. Communication with the home is excellent - there is always someone available if we need to get in touch, and we are always kept informed of any significant changes or issues. There is also a lot of thought and effort put into organising a wide range of different activities each week for the residents.

My Mum has now been in Woodlands for 14 months. She is very happy and enjoys the wide and varied range of activities that are offered and participates in as many as she can. She has made a few good friends since she moved in and has nothing but glowing compliments for the staff and the food. The regular
trips out for coffee, museums, to the local pubs and garden centres are all included in her fees and she makes the most of these when she can. The weekly newsletters with pictures of the residents enjoying their activities and the following week's programme are especially helpful. I have found the staff at Woodlands amazing. They are all very helpful, caring and completely "on the ball". The moment I arrive I am made to feel welcome and whoever is on the front desk always knows where Mum is, what she's doing etc. She has personalised her room so it really feels like her home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Woodlands to anyone who is looking for somewhere for their loved one.

My Mum stayed at Woodlands for 4 weeks for post-hospital respite care. This was arranged very much at the last minute and the resident liaison manager from Woodlands could not have been more helpful, quick, and responsive. We're very grateful. The staff at the home could not have been kinder or more
helpful. The room was lovely and the place clean and tidy, with a lovely garden. The admin and finance staff at the main office also could not have been more helpful and informative. Whilst my Mum chose not to engage in any activities, the encouragement from everyone to be more active was wonderful. The food was terrific. What can I say, highly recommended!

Mum is 100% relaxed, not anxious, feels she can be herself and feels safe, cared or and is happy.
She has already made friends, having been carefully introduced to specific residents by the thoughtful staff.
As a family, we are incredibly grateful to the owners and

Every time I visit I am made very welcome, especially by the staff member in reception. All the staff look after residents and visitors so well, nothing is too much trouble for them. I have been my friend's guest on three occasions to 'in-house' functions - the catering has been excellent, lovely food
and drink. In short, Woodlands is first-class all round. I know my friend is very happy there. If I ever have to go into care I would not hesitate to choose Woodlands. Well done to everyone.

When we were looking for a home for my aunt, we were really concerned to 'get it right' for her. From the initial meeting to ongoing contact with the team we have been delighted and know we made the right choice. Nothing is ever too much trouble and all the residents are treated with respect and known
by name. Feedback from her friends who have visited has all been the same, lovely staff and a wonderful home. I would thoroughly recommend Woodlands to anyone who is looking for a home.

My mum has been a resident of Woodlands for seven years. The team at Woodlands have been incredibly supportive even as my mother's condition has steadily declined over this time. They have been very kind towards my mum even if my mum herself has at times been difficult to handle.
Woodlands has a comforting
family feel, which has meant that my mum has felt content and 'at home'. She loves the outlook of the beautiful garden from her room. She was able to build a rapport with staff, right up until her dementia made this difficult to sustain.
As a family, we always felt confident that my mum was getting the best possible care.

Mum has been here for just over a year. The staff are really lovely. Mum is very pleased with everyone. She can be a bit fussy with food but they do try and accommodate her. There is always entertainment. She does like her own company. She enjoys the dancers and flower arranging. I am always informed

My aunt has recently moved to Woodlands Residential Care Home. From the first day, it was clear that her care was going to be exceptional. Every member of staff we've met has been friendly and caring with a can-do attitude. The family has been kept very well informed of my aunt's progress and health
issues.
We recently celebrated her 100th birthday and Woodlands laid on a fantastic party for her family and friends. The birthday room was beautifully decorated with many lovely touches provided by the home.
It is hugely comforting to know that my aunt is being so well looked after at this stage of her life.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.892)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.892) out of 10 for Woodlands Residential Care Home 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 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 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 4.892 for Woodlands Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (408 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 455 Ratings = 4.892

  • 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 Residential Care Home is based on 39 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 39 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.
