Outstanding, would be my one word review. However since I've been inside the NHS and another private care home recently I can confidently rate Woodland Manor as easily the best and least stressful. Simply the quality and attitude of care and catering staff is world class. Options and quality on food
menu outstanding also. I have turned into a regular food photo journalist for my friends.

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

Thank you for your outstanding review! It was a pleasure to have you with us, and we do hope you will visit again soon to take some more fabulous food photos.

Mum was admitted for long-term care. Despite her reluctance to live in a care setting she adapted remarkably quickly and was genuinely happy living there. The care staff were respectful, open and professional in their approach. The admin staff were also very professional and I can't thank them enough
for their help in mum's admission.

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

Thank you for your kind words about the care and support that all the staff offer, whatever their role. We are pleased that it makes the difference, and helped you mum settle so quickly so that she is happy in her new home.

Following mum's unfortunate experience in a non-nursing care home, her move to Woodland Manor was managed very professionally with the minimum of delay and upheaval at what is a very busy time of the year. We have found the care staff to be very friendly and diligent in their care for mum and her general
well-being.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother moved into Woodland Manor after a hospital stay resulting from a fall. Prior to that, she’d been at home with her husband and live-in carers. However, her Alzheimer's and mobility problems after the fall meant that she needed more care and physical support than one carer could provide.
Being
a sociable person, my mother enjoyed interactions with the other residents and the activities and entertainment arranged for each day. Family were always welcomed to visit at any time and it was good to be able to sit with her in the “bistro”, for coffee, cakes and a chat. We found the staff at Woodland Manor to be very professional and caring. Alzheimer's finally beat Mum just before Christmas and the care home staff went out of their way to keep her comfortable, support us all and give us space at the end. I’m very grateful for all their care.

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

We are all touched by your lovely comments and to know that we did our very best for your mother and your family during such a difficult time. The staff really appreciate such feedback, and to know that their dedication to providing the best in care and welcoming environment makes the difference.

Woodland Manor Care Home is exceptional. They look after my grandparents with so much thought and care that I can relax. It is so pleasant to visit and see how well the staff know my grandparents and treat them as if they are family. I know care is expensive but this care is worth every penny. The whole
family is looked after.

I would like you to be aware that the care home were unable to call me when my Dad was dying because I have a French mobile phone number.
I am bitterly disappointed that I was not called as I wanted to sit with my Dad during his last few hours.
Perhaps you will review and change your protocol regarding
calling international phone numbers and family.

A first-class care home. My father moved into Woodland Manor in August 22, before doing so, he viewed a number of care homes, but his first choice was always Woodland Manor. He made the perfect choice; from the day he moved in he was truly happy and once described Woodland Manor as ‘my heaven’.
The
quality of care provided to Dad was of the highest standard, he enjoyed his very comfortable room, the meals, the in-house activities and films, relaxing in the garden as well as several trips out to local places of interest. Importantly, we always felt he was safe. The staff at Woodland provided my Dad with the individual care and attention he needed. This included the manager, the admin team, the activities coordinators, the maintenance and cleaning teams as well of course as the very dedicated nurses and carers.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Woodland Manor - my family and I all say that if we ever needed a care home ourselves, then we would want one like Woodland Manor.

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.
