Overall Experience

Staff are always helpful and approachable. My mother is always well cared for, bathed and her hair brushed. Her room is clean and tidy, bins are emptied regularly and in excellent decorative order.
Daily records of her care are kept and always available to view.

Overall Experience

Woodlands is a purpose built care home which provides very safe and secure facilities for dementia residents.
We found the management and staff very caring and understanding and there is an excellent programme of activities.
The consistency of staff means that the residents get to know them and seem

to feel comfortable.

Review from Roger S (Friend of Resident) published on 30 November 2017

Overall Experience

Our elderly friend with a learning disability was placed at Woodlands at our request not long after it opened, she was quite poorly after leaving hospital with a life limiting illness and sad to be moving from her home that she had shared with her friends for over 20 years, due to her loss of mobility.
She

is now able to walk around with a frame and take part in many of the activities on offer, having been using a wheelchair on discharge from hospital, she has had several relapses of her condition since, but the care and support shown by the staff has enabled her to regain her mobility on each occasion.
The home has adapted to meet her needs which are often more complex than they would normally encounter, and she regularly talks about the staff during visits and the things she has been doing.
We have recommended the home to others, and another friend now lives in another area of the home.

Overall Experience

My brother has been a resident at Woodlands Care Centre for over 7 years and he is very well settled and happy despite his health difficulties.
The staff are extremely caring, helpful and approachable.
My brother's room is well kept and peaceful.
I visit my brother regularly and I am always informed

of his needs and mood when I visit.
I am always being told that if I feel there are any issues that need addressing then I can talk with management and staff which I find very reassuring.
When I arrange for my brother a weekly outing, the staff make sure that he is ready and properly dressed for the occasion.
Overall I am extremely happy with Woodlands Care Centre and I am very pleased that my brother is a resident.

Overall Experience

Residents are treated with dignity as individuals and valued as individuals. Both administrative and nursing staff and care workers respond positively to requests and comments. The rooms and corridors are kept very clean. A wide range of activities is provided for residents. Excellent in many respects.

Overall Experience

The home is excellent in the way they interact with the clients. My dad was extremely grumpy but they have helped him so much and I am very grateful for that. Although he has dementia he is always invited to attend activities and outings. The staff are excellent and always have the time to speak to

us too. I am so pleased my dad is here. The rooms are tidy and clean. No matter what time I visit everything is always the same. I would like to thank the staff for looking after my dad.

Overall Experience

My grandad is currently a resident at Woodlands and I cannot give enough praise on our entire experience at the centre. Our only regret is that we hadn’t found the centre a few months earlier. Staff are amazing, the centre is always clean, homely and welcoming. Not a bad word to say. Everything promised

was delivered.

Review from Graeme W (Son of Resident) published on 10 April 2017

Overall Experience

My mother passed away at Woodlands on the 5th of March. My dad, my brother and I were all very sad to lose our wonderful wife and mother. But the sorrow is made easier by knowing that she had the best care possible during the last few years in Woodlands.
We witnessed an incredible level of compassion

by the carers, the nurses, the social events staff and administration. They all showed superb levels of professionalism combined with empathy, kindness and humour. They knew that she was more than just a collection of symptoms of a terrible disease. They understood that she had a life, a history, a family before Woodlands. They kept her safe, comforted her, enabled her to maintain her dignity and let her express her frustrations and her sense of humour.
As her family, we were also made to feel so welcome. Her carers have become our friends, friends we trust with the most vulnerable person in our lives.
We are so grateful to everyone at Woodlands for everything they did for my mum.

Overall Experience

My wife, who suffers from advanced Alzheimer's disease, has been a resident for nearly three years and has been well looked after from every standpoint.
There is nothing she can do for herself after more than thirteen years of this disease and the care home is called upon to provide full support in

every area of care, and this they do very well indeed.

Overall Experience

This care provider was recommended by friends.
I have found this period of three weeks has been most beneficial for convalescence following a long period in hospital.
The staff are very caring and nothing is too much.
Management very good and helpful.
I would recommend this care facility to friends.

My wife has been in Woodlands for seven months and has received excellent care from dedicated staff who sometimes go out of their way to ensure her comfort. I visit my wife most days so I can give an informed review. I would not want her to be anywhere else.

My mother has been in Woodlands Care Centre for only 6 weeks but has settled in extremely well thanks to the staff. The home is bright and well-equipped and she has a bright and comfortable room. We have no complaints or concerns.

Overall Experience

My mother was a resident at the care centre at the date of review. My experience of the managers of Woodlands Care Centre and the care staff has been very positive. Prior to her admission I was able to have a very open discussion with the manager and her deputy about my concerns and their management

of my mothers needs. During her stay the care staff maintained a good level of care in a compassionate way. Any issues that arose i.e. falls and loss of dentures were resolved effectively. The home has an excellent activities programme and every effort was made to enable my mother joining in according to how she felt on the given day. Above all I valued the managements' "open door" policy, so that access for informal chats was always possible. Woodlands being dual registered is also a great help.
