I am very satisfied with my husband's stay in Woodside Court Care Home.
At times she could be difficult to deal with and he was always treated with kindness and compassion.
I cannot praise his care enough.

The staff made the transition for my brother very smooth, they are very helpful and they answered all your questions. The care home and the gardens are lovely, they allowed my daughters to set his room up the day before he moved in. My mind is at ease leaving him now as he is getting looked after 24
hours a day and getting the help and care that he deserves.

My husband has recently moved into Woodside Court. The staff have been excellent at trying to help him settle in and to help us cope with this. They always take time to talk to us and to listen, especially when we have been upset.

My mother was given a very warm welcome on her first day at Woodside Court. Her arrival coincided with Christmas, New Year and a Covid outbreak, so although staffing levels and, consequently, hands-on care were reduced, the festive season was nicely celebrated. mum really enjoys chatting with all the
staff here and they in turn are incredibly helpful and cheerful. Life at Woodside Court is full of compassionate care.

My mum has spent five and a half happy years at Woodside Court. She passed away peacefully last week with dignity and peace.
She has always been well cared for, loved and appreciated for the wonderful character she was.
The home is well maintained, with very comfortable furnishings, a well kept garden
and tasty and appetising food on offer. If Mum didn’t like what foods were on the menu an alternative was always offered. There is a wide variety of entertainment, crafts, games and outings for residents run by staff who understand the needs of people with dementia. The staff always do there best to answer any queries at the time or get in contact soon after. There has been a change in management and they continue to keep staffing numbers covered sometimes with agency staff, during post-pandemic/Covid illnesses. Staff are so dedicated throughout the home no matter what their role may be within the organisation. I can only thoroughly recommend the home as a place of love.

It has been a difficult year due to Covid and all its ramifications. However, the staff, despite changes and losses, have been fairly consistent in the care of my relative. The physical aspects of the home e.g upgrading flooring and decoration and moving my relative to a bigger room, have been appreciated.
I've heard recently that visits and outings are being reinstated, all for the good. It's been a difficult time for everyone and I'm pleased the staff have made it as palatable as possible.

I would have put extremely likely if staffing levels were better. I spent whole days in Dad's room so I heard and saw a lot. The staff were kind, caring and compassionate to all the residents. They were brilliant! I also saw first-hand the challenges they faced to get to residents timeously, especially
when residents required assistance at the same time. My dad was in tears one day as he was afraid he would soil himself, the staff were always so apologetic but couldn't perform miracles. One extra pair of hands would make all the difference to the well-being of residents and staff alike. Otherwise, Woodside Court would excel.

Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Woodside Court Care Home

Please accept our sincere condolences on the recent passing of your father, we also want to thank you so much for your lovely comments about our staff who do their best at all times and always treat our residents very kindly. I would like to assure you that we have reviewed the staffing levels in the home and staff has been increased accordingly.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.704)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.704) out of 10 for Woodside Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 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 4.787 for Woodside Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (101 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 127 Ratings = 4.787

  • 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 4.917 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Woodside Court Care Home is based on 11 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.917

  • 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.
