Overall Experience

My Aunt has been resident at Apples House for 2 years now. She has dementia and has been well cared for and loved by the wonderful staff. She is always clean, well-fed and has her hair done weekly. There is always daily entertainment. I am made welcome on my weekly visits and always kept up to date

with her health and well being. The staff do a very good job under very trying circumstances.

Overall Experience

All I can say is that Apple House at Woodheath has saved my sanity. My lovely auntie has just turned 94 years with dementia. Before she went to Apple House I was trying to battle ill health myself and look after her. Now, I cannot praise the staff (now my friends) enough.
They are the most caring,

friendly, sensitive girls I have ever met. They treat their residents with the same sort of love that most people would give to their mums and dads. There is love, laughter and at times tears.
They are angels and I've booked my room.

Very impressed with the care my mother-in-law has received and how well staff have supported my father-in-law. No matter what time of the day or night I have visited all staff have been friendly, caring and responsive to our needs and have ensured she is comfortable and pain-free.
I cannot praise the

staff and home highly enough.

Overall Experience

Amazing. My Mum is 92 and lived at home with Dad, 94, until January this year. A wheelchair user, registered blind, deaf and multiple health problems. Since January, periods in hospital and temporary care homes. Then we found Woodheath. The family cannot fault the care and friendliness of the staff.

Nothing is too much trouble. My Mum needs hoisting and even that is not a problem. Thank goodness for Woodheath. Gold stars all around.

Overall Experience

I was looking after my wife and realised that at 90 years of age, I could not cope. A friend told me about Woodheath and I went to see for myself. I was very impressed by the happiness of the staff and the hygiene was remarkable. My wife became a resident and could not have had better attention. Sadly

she passed away after a short stay. The concern and sympathy shown to me and my family were outstanding. Thanks to all, God bless.

My mum has been at Woodheath Nursing and Residential Home since October 2018 and is like a new person, she is so happy and well looked after. She really enjoys the daily chair exercises that take place. Enjoys her food and adores all the staff with whom she has a laugh daily. The staff are so friendly

and welcoming to visitors and Woodheath has a very warm, homely atmosphere.

My Mum was resident at Woodheath for over two and a half years. She was treated with care and dignity and with love, as were we relatives. I cannot praise highly enough the love and warmth shown to both mum and to ourselves. All the staff are very special people and we were constantly amazed at their

patience and care and importantly the hugs!!

Overall Experience

My aunty is a happy resident of Woodheath and reached the grand age of 97 last week.
As I am in India until the end of March this year, I decided to contact Woodheath for me to make a phone call to my Aunt to mark the occasion of her birthday. A director returned my email request with total due diligence

for me to make my call at a specific time and this was duly arranged and conducted to perfection - so A BIG THANK YOU.

We have been to the home on several occasions since my aunt moved in and all I can say is she is very happy there - which says it all in my books.

Well done Woodheath and staff for your deserved consistent high score reviews.

My grandmother has only been in Apple House a short time. The staff are warm friendly and welcoming, the care they offer is excellent, it has made a world of difference to my gran, she is happier, gaining weight and settled. As a family, we are always made welcome and nothing it too much trouble. We

have been given so much advice and support, both before and after my gran joined them which made it so much easier for us and her.

Overall Experience

The staff at Woodheath cared for my mother-in-law for the last two and a half years whilst she was in the final stages of a complex and rare brain disease. The staff were fantastic throughout with a particular appreciation for their outstanding support and care in the end of life process. The current

management are excellent and has retained a fantastic set of staff who deserve praise and recognition for the incredibly difficult job they do.

My mother in law has improved dramatically since she moved to Woodheath in February 2018. We are confident that she is well cared for and her diabetic needs are well managed. The staff are always friendly and show the residents kindness and respect. Visitors are welcomed and feel part of the Woodheath

family. My husband and I are delighted that she is so well cared for.

As a family, we could not have wished for better care. All the staff go above and beyond to ensure the comfort and dignity of my brother, nothing is too much trouble. The food is of an excellent standard, all the carers have been able to identify his needs (such as hot food and drinks), he is treated

with respect, kindness and have given the family peace of mind for the time we have with him. Many thanks to you all.

My mother moved into Apple House recently. She has severe dementia. Mum is clean, neat and well cared for. All her medical needs are immediately attended to and the staff take great care of her. She takes part in daily activities and enjoys her food. The staff are wonderful and the home is modern and
