My mother has been at Woodland Manor for a number of years and I have always found that she has been cared for with compassion. The staff have always been excellent, there are plenty of activities, although Mum is less able to join in now. The environment is maintained to a high standard, and I feel
that Mum is always safe and treated with dignity.

It is fantastic to hear we have continued to meet your expectations throughout the years your mother has been a part of our home.

The care home look after my mum very well, the staff always inform us of any issues and mum's general wellbeing, they also take Mum out on the bus for visits.
The food is also very good and I also eat regularly with Mum as a treat.
Overall, the manager and staff are very good.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

After just one month of experience, and being able to compare two different care homes, I believe Woodland Manor to be better suited to my wife, and to me too as a visitor. The wooden furniture in the bedroom is barely sufficient and the quality isn't great but the soft furnishings are lovely and it's
location, facing onto the lovely large garden, makes it the nicer option for my wife. Initially I was surprised at the absence of a TV in her room but, as time has gone by, I have come to appreciate that it's absence helps the carers oversee the residents. I particularly like that, when I visit and join my wife for lunch, the meal can be served in the bistro rather than the restaurant, making it a more intimate occasion. As for 'value for money', clearly Woodland Manor is expensive but I am hopeful of a reduction in price as I think the initial assessment suggested the need of greater care than is proving to be necessary in practice. The security of Woodland Manor is altogether better managed than my wife's previous care home could manage. I would recommend Woodland Manoir to anybody.

Reply from Cristian Grozav, Home Manager at Woodland Manor Care Home

Thank you for your review, all of which we will take into consideration. I am glad to hear your wife feels more content in our home and that you enjoy the variety of spaces to have lunch when visiting.

From the first time we visited the home until my stepfather passed away, we were treated amazingly. The care and respect we were shown was outstanding. All the staff without exception were so kind and provided care and support on all levels. Their concern was genuine which helped make a sad situation,
more easy to deal with. Our stepfather was never on his own and passed away peacefully with people we will always call friends.

Reply from Cristian Grozav, Home Manager at Woodland Manor Care Home

Thank you for taking a moment to leave us a review during this difficult time. It was an honour to care for your wonderful stepfather, and I am glad to hear you felt supported throughout your time with us. Please know that you are always welcome at Woodland Manor.

I was here for respite care after a bad fall. I was treated very professionally, with respect and friendliness. Call requests were answered quickly and I always felt safe. I was able to have a degree of independence but was carefully guided. Some basic foods are often out of stock! E.g. apple juice,
ice cream, red/white wine. The wine was quickly replaced but not the ice cream or apple juice! Everyone is very helpful and very pleasant, and I was made to feel 'at home'.

Reply from Cristian Grozav, Home Manager at Woodland Manor Care Home

Thank you for taking time to provide us with your feedback. I am glad to hear we assisted with your recovery and wish you nothing but the best going forward. I am sorry to hear some items were out of stock during your time with us, and I will be sure to keep an eye on this going forward.

My husband had two stays in Woodland Manor. In December 2023 for 4 weeks and in March/April 2024. Sadly he died in early May of 2024. His care was exemplary and I cannot fault that. I still visit the staff there. The nursing staff were so caring and everyone tried to make life easier. I have no hesitation
in recommending Woodland Manor to people. Thank you so much.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.763)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.763) out of 10 for Woodland Manor 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 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 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 4.763 for Woodland Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (364 Excellents x 5) + (83 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 460 Ratings = 4.763

  • 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 Manor Care Home is based on 39 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 39 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.
