Overall Experience

I wish I had found this care home a lot sooner. The staff are so caring with excellent communication. I was exceptionally impressed that my mum was registered with a GP surgery of my choice on the same day she moved in and that an essential referral to 'SALT' was made in less than 24 hours of residency.

When it came to my mums last hours, she was treated with such dignity & respect, as well as ensuring I was okay. Thank you just isn't enough.

Overall Experience

I am very, very satisfied with Woodfield Grange and the care my husband is given. When I visit I am always made to feel welcome and the residents always appear happy, clean and well cared for. There is always an activity going on and they have a party to celebrate every occasion from the Queen's Birthday

to Uncle Tom's success. The staff are all very friendly and interact very well with all the residents; it's like one big family. The chef is amazing and produces beautiful birthday cakes for the residents and an outstanding buffet for parties and special occasions. My husband is severely disabled and unable to speak but is still helped to join in all the activities.

Absolutely wonderful home - I couldn’t ask for any better for my mum. They go above and beyond in everything they do for her and we are really pleased with how she is doing and coping in there. She’s made some lovely friends and enjoys the company of everyone she is with. She says the food is exceptional

and couldn’t wish for any better.

Unfortunately, my mother was only in Woodfield Grange for a few days before she died. However, in that short time, she received excellent care from a very caring staff who cannot be praised enough. Our only regret is that she didn't move there sooner.

Woodfield Grange is a loving caring environment where my mum-in-law has flourished. She's happier and healthier than I've seen here for years. This is due to the fantastic staff, every one of them. They really know the residents well, treating them with respect and affection and an appropriate sprinkling

of humour. My family cannot praise them enough.

I will be eternally grateful to the staff at Woodfield for caring for my mum for over two years. The nursing care has been exceptional and my mum's every need was catered for. The staff are well led and work as a team and seemed to genuinely care for my mum. The staff cared for me too and nothing was

ever too much trouble. Woodfield Grange is a very special place.

Overall Experience

Over the years, I have watched dementia claim part of my grandma, but being in such a lovely nursing home, that offers her the quality of care she needs, helps immensely. It was her 96th birthday in October, and the staff made her a birthday cake, all decorated with candles. The joy in her face that

day, as we all sang happy birthday, made me forget about dementia. It is these special moments, the staff find time to make happen, that make the home an excellent 'home from home' for my grandma.

Overall Experience

My husband was resident at Woodfield Grange for the last few months of his life. I couldn't have wished for better care for him. All the staff took an interest in getting to know each individual resident and did their best to make them happy and comfortable.
All this was done with great kindness and

good humour.
the whole atmosphere of the home is most welcoming both for residents and family and friends alike. I was kept fully informed of my husband's care needs and consulted over any changes. Indeed, all the staff were a great support to me, as well as my husband, during a very difficult time. I can't thank them enough.

Overall Experience

My mum has final stages Alzheimer's and has been in Woodfield coming up to two years now. She was in another care home in Devon before we decided to move her closer to my sisters and me.
That was the best thing we did. She settled in really well right from the start - thanks to the fact that the

staff have always treated her with kindness and good humour. I cannot praise them enough.
They are very approachable and have been a great help to me when I've needed reassurance, offering empathy and sound advice.

Overall Experience

Mum has been in this facility for 2 1/2 years. During that time her memory has deteriorated considerably and she has lost the ability to self-mobilise. The staff have coped enormously well with her changing situation and her bursts of tearfulness. Her physical health seems better than it has been for

many years with the reassurance of the constant presence of trained staff interacting readily with community services. She is always clean and neatly dressed although she is now entirely a passive participant in these processes. Food is freshly cooked, ample in quality and attractively presented.

Overall Experience

My mum had stage 4 melanoma which had spread to her lungs kidneys and brain, she had lost the use of her arms too. She had a stint in a hospice to stabilise her medication. Then we had to move her to a nursing home my mum wasn't happy there and complained of bullying and we had our own concerns too.

So with the recommendation from two of my friends we moved mum to Woodfield grange nursing home. It was only for the final three weeks of her life, but we couldn't have been happier with the manager and her staff. Even though my mums needs were very complex and challenging at times their communication to me and my sister were second to none. They tried their best to make mums stay as comfortable and dignified at all times. Their communication to me and my sister were second to none. They tried their best to make mums stay as comfortable and dignified at all times, they were warm friendly and couldn't do enough for mum, me and my sister at such a traumatic and difficult time and we will be forever grateful to Woodfield for doing that. Just wish we could have got mum in sooner. We decided not to have flowers for her funeral but to give a donation instead, that's how grateful we are to the wonderful staff at Woodfield Grange. Thank you.

Overall Experience

My mum was stage 4 melanoma when we managed to secure a place at Woodfield. We had a dire experience at another care home, so really I know what I am talking about. This care home is managed extremely efficiently. The main nurses are off the scale.
All of the staff were kind and tender in helping

us deal with my mum at the end of her life. The food is excellent - home made cakes etc etc. My mum died at this care home and it was a positive experience. The management are organsied with paperwork, guidance and totally transparent. We were kept informed at all times.
