The Woodland Manor team were excellent and provided very good care for my mum in 2019/2020, notwithstanding the challenges of delivering care during the pandemic.

The staff at Woodlands responded promptly and professionally when my mother needed an urgent assessment and subsequent admission. Despite the very difficult circumstance of the lockdown, every consideration was given to allow safe visits from the family within the covid guidelines. My mother was well
cared for, and my elderly father was similarly cared for during his visits. After several weeks, my mother was discharged much improved.

Reply from Rachael Startin, Sales & Marketing Manager at Woodland Manor Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to review our services and for your lovely comments. It was our pleasure to look after your mum and we are delighted she has improved. Our doors are always open to welcome your mum or dad again in the future.

I can honestly say having done much research and still belonging to carer support groups that Woodland Manor Care Home is quite an exceptional home for my family member. They possess something that is difficult to find in most of the homes I have visited. They have a genuine feeling of care instilled
in all the team. It is an absolute pleasure to watch and I feel blessed and happy to have Woodland Manor as part of my family. Thank you

Reply from Collen Joubert, Home Manager at Woodland Manor Care Home

Thank you for sharing your experience of Woodland Manor. It is wonderful to hear that the teams' passion for caring comes across so abundantly. I will share your kind words with everyone.

The staff have been extremely kind and patient.
The activities staff have taken time to find out what might interest my mother.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My aunt was diagnosed with vascular dementia at 80. She tried care at home but could not bear the intrusion or the loss of control. She tried three Homes over two years. The third found her impossible. Then, at her most angry and bruised, she moved to Woodland Manor Care Home (WMCH). Her distress manifested
itself in more difficult behaviour. WM demonstrated exceptional patience from the start. When one idea did not work, other imaginative, practical suggestions were made. She began to believe the carer around her that would dress her extra-nicely, or read poems with her, or take her for a coffee, or tell her “you look fabulous” or just talk and listen. She became at last secure. Specifics? lovely rooms and a sense of space. The division into four areas gives a sense of a closer community but there is a buzz when everyone gets together. Activities are varied, flexible and never cancelled because just one person turns up. Management is kind, wise and courteous. Families are thoughtfully supported. They made her happy.

As my cousin's next of kin and Power of Attorney, I can say that we are extremely pleased with his care at Woodlands. The house and gardens are really superb and the atmosphere is more like a first-class boutique hotel than an institution.
I have consistently found the staff in every department to
be efficient and most caring. Any little problem is solved efficiently with great empathy.
I believe my cousin regards Woodlands as his home and is very happy there.

An excellently run care home which is staffed by the most caring folk who have patience with the residents and the utmost concern for their wellbeing. Communication with relatives is excellent and the whole place is spotlessly clean. Activities are plentiful and there is always a cheerful attitude no
matter what issues present themselves. My only criticism would be that perhaps daily menus should be more traditional and basic.

Beautiful facilities and outstanding garden where my dad and I enjoyed making some lovely memories to treasure.
Kind and caring staff. My dad enjoyed lots of laughs with the care team. Excellent food. Staff went overboard with support. When my father passed away the staff formed a "guard of honour"
as he left the home for the last time. The Head of care came to support us at his funeral and I will be forever in their debt. I cannot recommend them more highly.

Reply from Grainne O'Donnell, Home Manager at Woodland Manor Care Home

Thank you for such kind words. I will pass your thoughts on to the team so that they know what a wonderful job they do. It was our privilege and pleasure to look after your Father. With warmest thoughts from everyone here.

Excellent facilities, my father felt very safe and happy during his stay. Management visible by nursing staff and administration, to a high level. Nursing staff at all levels that cared for my father demonstrated a great deal of empathy, kindness and compassion. My father's stay was three weeks and
it was very clear he was very settled. I would definitely use Woodland Manor again.

I always feel welcome and understood, ie my needs as a carer! Home is a warm, comfortable, relaxed, well engaged and furnished. Nice pictures in communal areas. Lots of smiling staff around, all of whom seem to know my husband and to manage him well - better than I can! I feel I can ask for help and
guidance, can express how I see things.

Recent improvement in management is encouraging after a lengthy period of change which brought about a feeling of lack of confidence and support and low morale for the staff as a whole.
The nursing and care staff have been excellent in dealing with the many challenges of my husbands advancing Alzheimer's
illness and I am very grateful for the kindness and support I have received in the 2 1/2 years my husband has been resident in Woodland Manor.
The general atmosphere is welcoming in all respects.

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.
