Woodland Grove never ceases to amaze me. Mum has been here nearly 2 years now. The care she receives is second to none. Despite having some stays in the hospital, Mum cannot wait to get 'home'. The celebration of the 10-year anniversary was a wonderful event. So much thought is put into all of the events
and every resident is made to feel extra special, even more so on their birthday. I wouldn't want Mum to be anywhere else. Each and every one of you is a superstar.

Thank you for taking the time to view and express how happy you are with mum's care. Thank you for supporting our celebrations.

Extremely warm and welcoming environment. Staff very attentive and polite. All hospitality second to none. Plenty of food and drink. My dad is so so happy. After recently losing my mum he found it very hard. This has given him a new lease of life. He was sitting at the front enjoying the 2 singers.
They were excellent. Very professional.

I just wanted to thank you all at Woodland Grove for your years of dedicated care looking after my auntie and how much of a comfort it was to know she was in such good care. The fact that staff came to visit her in hospital in her final days and also attended the funeral was further proof, if it were
needed, of the love that she was shown throughout her nearly 8 years at the home. Not to mention a phone call just a week ago from the lovely staff to check on me which was quite special.

Thank you for taking the time to review. As you know she was much loved by everyone in the home and will be missed. It was a pleasure to care for her.

Woodland Grove provides a very caring resident-central approach. The excellent staff take time to get to know the residents and then tailor their approach accordingly. I feel my father is being very well looked after and he is content and relaxed. The food is home-cooked with a decent variety of options.
The activities are plentiful. All in all, I am very happy we selected Woodland Grove.

My 94-year-old mother has been a resident in Woodland Grove for 20 months now and I'm thankful every day that she is here. She has been loved and cared for with such professionalism warmth and dedication. Unfortunately, Mum's health deteriorated and has had to spend two weeks in hospital. She's just
returned with a new set of health and care needs and I was blown away by the swift response initiated by one of the senior nurses and the whole care team.
Thank you to all the warm caring people around my mother. Thank you carers, nurses, lovely housekeeping ladies, amazing receptionists, amazing activity ladies, and management. Thank you Woodland Grove for setting the bar high.

My mother has been a resident of Woodland Care Home since April 2021. Yesterday she celebrated her 80th birthday. As she isn't comfortable dining in restaurants anymore and my home isn't designed for parties - we took her party celebrations to her! Woodland provided us with the use of their Snug Room,
which can accommodate up to 20 guests, for the afternoon. So her family and close friends were able to visit and have an intimate birthday party in the comfort of her own home! - the staff were fabulous and assisted with decorating the room with balloons and a Happy Birthday banner, they provided champagne flutes, crockery and tea and coffee making and we just rocked up with bottles of Prosecco, a music playlist and Marks and Spencers party food! We thank the staff, and all involved and are very grateful for all they do to make a wonderful memory for us all. Special thanks to the Chef in catering for making the delicious birthday cake too! we all had a lot of fun mum really enjoyed her day.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5

A very expensive care home where I had suffered from cataracts, blind and an uncomfortable urine bag that required changing at regular times.
There were no balanced meals at all, whilst others were given 3-course meals for lunch, I was not given proper meals and sometimes, no food at all!
Hot meals
are served for lunchtime and stale moulded sandwiches for dinner! There was a kitchen opened after dinner!
Considering this very expensive care home, one would expect basic essentials every day. Short staff of nurses and carers, during the nights so my needs were not fulfilled thus, I was depressed and lonely! Often collapsed due to lack of food and fluids. Restless nights due to other residents shouting and swearing with the buzzers bleeping for more than 40 minutes. Stained carpets not cleaned for days. Small uncomfortable beds, fell off more than seven times evoking more arthritic pains and distress. Irritating old worn-out bed sheets! My new soft blanket was taken. New meds were not given.

My impressions and opinions on Woodland Grove have been nothing but positive since my mother became a resident three months ago and, indeed, even prior to that. My family and I have previous experience with several residential care homes, I can say, quite honestly and categorically, that none of these
bear comparison to Woodland Grove in every aspect of care, be it compassion, patience, accommodating facilities, hygiene, entertainment and the level of professionalism and devotion to its vulnerable residents.

My father-in-law came to the home (nursing floor) back in February. At the time he was in a lot of pain, and not really eating well or coping at home (which was about 30-40 min from us).
Since arriving, he has thrived, the food, company and care have left him looking better than he has in years. It's
a pleasure to go and see him and join him for a coffee in the bistro, and in the summer to sit in the gardens.
Please do thank all the staff, it's a huge weight off our minds to know he is so well cared for and more importantly happy.
Much appreciated.

All the staff I have come into contact with are very caring and do their very best for my mum. I feel happy leaving her at Woodland Grove where I know she will be well looked after, she is safe and there are plenty of activities/people around to try to keep her as stimulated as possible. It is always
possible to speak to senior staff if necessary. I find the fairly new IT system that is in place very useful to keep in touch with how my mum is on a day to day basis and if I ever have any concerns/queries these are always addressed satisfactorily with senior staff.

In the short time that my mother has been a resident at Woodland Grove, my expectations have been met completely and then some!
This is a care home with the emphasis on care. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and all members of staff from the admin team down to the support staff all approach their
roles with kindness and empathy, not just to the resident.

I understand how difficult it is trying to choose a care home for a loved one but I would have no hesitation in recommending Woodland Grove. The very first time I walked into the reception it felt warm and homely. All staff without exception greet you with a smile and any queries or concerns are dealt
with promptly and efficiently. My father who is bedridden and unable to ask for help is on the nursing level, he is checked regularly, and staff are always able to give me an update on how he’s been. Importantly the standard of hygiene in the rooms and communal areas is very high. Sadly, my father isn’t able to take part in the activities but he is, however, able to enjoy the “one–to–one” service which is sometimes set aside every day for someone to sit and engage with a resident on a one-to-one basis. It gives us great peace of mind knowing all our father’s needs are being met.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.781)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.781) out of 10 for Woodland Grove 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 58 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 57 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 4.781 for Woodland Grove is calculated as follows: ( (550 Excellents x 5) + (101 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 672 Ratings = 4.781

  • 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 Woodland Grove is based on 57 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 72 registered maximum number of service users is 14.4, which has been reached with 57 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.
