We visited at noon and were treated to an excellent lunch while we saw the resident. The home is modern, clean and speaking as an architect, very well designed.
The staff are friendly and welcome and very good with the residents.

My mom moved into Woodland View in November. The surroundings and atmosphere are very pleasant, warm and comfortable. I love that I can ask to have lunch with Mom and they happily accommodate me. I also asked if I could have lunch with my mom for my birthday and was so surprised as they had decorated
the tea room with balloons and flowers and served us up there privately. They also organised a present and card to give me from my mom. Both of us enjoyed it and I did not expect it at all. However most important is the professionalism, warmth and care from the staff. I know without a shadow of a doubt that my mom’s needs are met. I finally feel reassured that she is in the best place she could be. I can approach the team about anything I need to without fear of them not listening to me and understanding. They will address anything with engagement and kindness. I can spend quality time with my mom because I know that she is receiving the care she deserves. Thank you so much.

There is a warm welcome for everyone at Woodland View. The staff are so friendly and go out of their way to see that needs are met. The food is very good and residents are encouraged to eat in the dining room but if they prefer peace and quiet they can also have food in their rooms. Dad and Mum have
both received excellent care.

This is a fantastic care home. More like a 5-star hotel. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff who are all extremely kind and caring. I am always made to feel welcome when I visit and my mum feels very safe and well cared for. Staff go the extra mile and treat each resident as an individual. The
rooms are kept spotlessly clean and the meals are delicious.

Just spent a lovely few hours in the ground floor garden room with our friend of 45 years who is a recent resident/respite care, beautiful interiors and the staff are all so lovely and obliging.
We are always welcomed with a friendly smile and assistance, and the offer of tea and coffee, it really

My 97-year-old husband was transferred from hospital to Woodland View in October following COVID. He was unable to walk or do very much for himself. With patience and encouragement, the staff have got him walking again and after a few weeks, he is able to move around on his walker and is enjoying socialising
with other residents at meal times. He is being encouraged to take part in some activities and has been taken out for visits to local shops in his wheelchair.


He has settled into this new way of life really well. He has been able to take his reclining chair and other special items to personalise his room. A staff member accompanied him to NHS appointments.
As his wife, I have also received encouragement from all the staff which has helped me recover from exhaustion and COVID. I would recommend anyone looking for a Care Home for themselves or a relative or friend to visit Woodland View to experience the welcome of the staff and see the excellent facilities provided for the residents.

Mother recently joined Woodland View and has settled extremely well, enjoying the company and friendship of the other residents. The staff are quite amazing, welcoming and outgoing to all, whether residents or visitors and are thrilled to demonstrate Woodland View and its features. There are interesting
and varied activities every morning and afternoon, including craft workshops, baking, exercising, yoga, relaxation, visiting speakers, and various events where local residents are invited to visit for lunches, teas etc. Never a dull moment! The facilities include a visiting hairdresser and chiropodist in well-appointed studios, and the cinema is something else! All in all, a lovely place for twilight years.

What a wonderful review, thank you for taking the time to write it! We are so proud of our fabulous team and facilities, and very pleased that your mother is able to take full advantage of all we have to offer and has been able to settle in so quickly!

My husband had 2 weeks respite care. He found it difficult to settle a first as it was his first experience of being away from me.
However the staff were very caring, and patient. Gradually he accepted the fact that he was there to give me a break.
Since returning home he has said he would stay again
in the future .
I feel activities were geared to the female residents, not enough distraction for the gents.

I’m so pleased l discovered Woodland View Care Home as the care my mother has received since becoming a resident has been second to none! She was quite poorly upon entering, a few months ago, but with the support given by the amazing staff, she is now thriving and able to enjoy the company of the other
residents and loves the daily activities which stimulate and entertain her.
Woodlands View Care Home staff provide a brilliant, comprehensive caring service and there is always a wonderful welcome for all.

My aunt went to the Woodland View for respite after having had a fall. She was very shaken and bruised but very reluctant to consider respite. Her opinion has been completely turned around by a very pleasant experience at the home. The staff have been very caring and kind to her and she said the food
has been excellent. She has been well looked after and the staff have encouraged her to mobilize and regain her independence.


The home is lovely and clean and there has been an opportunity for my aunt to join in several activities during her stay. I will definitely be recommending the home to friends and family.


Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Woodland View

Thank you for sending such a lovely review. It’s awful that your aunt was so shaken after her fall but this is when respite can really come into its own. With the right respite care we can not only encourage mobilisation and physical recovery but also build confidence and give the TLC needed to get back on her feet. Thank you for your recommendation and we hope we might see your aunt again (in less dramatic circumstances!)

We have twice visited my aunt in Woodland View where she was recently admitted for respite care.
Our initial contact was with the care home manager who was exceptionally pleasant and helpful and directed us straight to my aunt.
Our early impression of the care home was excellent, everywhere was clean
and tidy, well set out, with welcome facilities available and very friendly staff.
After meeting my aunt, she confirmed that she had received excellent care, and superb meals and had been given a tour of the whole facility and its impressive amenities. She confirmed that she was most impressed with what was available for residents and respite users.
This care home is perfect and will be top of the list if residential care becomes necessary.

Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Woodland View

Thank you for sending such a wonderful review. It sounds like your aunt settled in wonderfully and we would be more than happy for her to visit again, whether it be for further respite stays or for a permanent residence. We certainly think Woodland View is top class and we will be happy to sit at the top of your list!

When my wife and I realised my mother in law needed full time care I was filled with dread. The reason being is that I could never imagine my mother in law becoming a resident in such a place. We did our research and visited a few care homes and to be honest was not completely convinced on any of the
homes visited, they were nice, clean and very pleasant but they lacked something, I don’t even know what! It was an awful time trying to find a “suitable home” for my wife’s mom. We then stumbled across Woodland View and everything changed, the missing ingredient was there, even though I’m not sure what it was. When we visited we were welcomed in such a way that immediately put us at ease, the staff knew what we were going through and what we needed for the mother in law.In a flash we knew this was the place and we have been proved tonight, in every way Woodland View is professional and that’s all I need to say because my mother in law loves her new home, what more do I need to say!

Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Woodland View

Well, what can we say to that?! We are so pleased that Woodland View had the spark that you were looking for, we think we have something very special and it’s wonderful to know others feel that way too.

My mum moved into Woodland View in March this year. It was a huge step both for her and for us her family.
I can honestly say it has been the best decision we all ever made.
My mum was greeted immediately by one of the residents and made to feel at home straight away.
It is obvious the way the
staff interact with both residents and family that it is an enjoyable environment to work in .
I have found them all to be very caring and kind.Nothing seems too much trouble.
When we visit we are always made to feel welcome and are offered tea and (delicious, home made) cake.
My mum has settled in better than we could ever have hoped for. As she says to us, “it’s now my home”.
I would definitely rate it 5 star

Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Woodland View

Thank you for your lovely review. We know that moving to a care home is a big decision to make, for our residents and their families and we strive to hold their hands and guide them through it as much as we possibly can. We feel that we have the best staff (and the best residents!) and your mum obviously fits right in.

It was with trepidation that we found ourselves looking for respite care for my mother who had been in hospital for several weeks. She was so warmly welcomed and put at ease by the friendly staff at Woodland View. In no time she was back to her old self and flourished surrounded by love and laughter.
Nothing was too much trouble. My father joined her in October when they both became residents. We have been so grateful to the most caring people we have ever had the pleasure to meet who looked after them both showing such kindness, compassion and respect. Thank you!

Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Woodland View

Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. We are so pleased that your mother was supported and could flourish at Woodland View and what better praise than your father choosing to live with us as well. They were both great additions to the home and we loved having them with us, they will be very sadly missed. Please know that you and your family are welcome at Woodland View any time, even if it’s just for a cuppa and a chat.

Due to personal circumstances I needed care for my mum urgently. From a phone call at 10am the staff came out to assess her and by 6pm the same day she was settling in and having her tea.
What a wonderful place! A lovely serene atmosphere and very friendly staff. Mum had the best night's sleep she
has had in years- probably because she felt safe and relaxed.
I can relax knowing that she is being cared for and if I look on the social mediapage I can see that she’s having lots of fun.
According to mum the food is excellent and the people - residents and staff are so friendly.
Thank you so much for giving me peace of mind. I fully recommend Woodland View!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.919)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.919) out of 10 for Woodland View 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 44 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 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 4.919 for Woodland View is calculated as follows: ( (479 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 519 Ratings = 4.919

  • 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 View is based on 44 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 44 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.
