Two weeks stay between hospital and flat. Staff have helped with exercise and food has been good with the room being comfortable. A good environment where the staff know your name and show an interest in your well-being.

I would like to thank the whole team at Woodland Manor Care Home for the care my mother has received. My mother is now well on the road to recovery after a fall in another care home. When my mother arrived at the home, she was unable to walk or feed herself and now through the dedication of the wonderful
management and staff, my mother is able to walk again and enjoy everyday life at the home. I would like to thank everyone for the kindness and support shown to me through a difficult time.

We looked at a number of homes before choosing Woodland Manor. We chose this place for a number of reasons. Firstly, it is a beautiful place in a divine garden, and feels more like a wonderful hotel than a care home. Secondly, we were made to feel very welcomed, and that they would really work with
us to help make it work for our mother. Thirdly, my first impression the staff was very favourable. Now settled in the home, we couldn't be happier.
Management is very competent and the carers and all the staff;from the kitchen staff to the maintenance man, to the housekeeper are all wonderful. There is a passion for service and real kindness. We are thrilled with Woodland Manor in every single way.

My dear friend was fortunate in being transferred from hospital to Woodland Manor for a three week period of rehabilitation. Unfortunately her general health deteriorated and made it impractical to return, so she decided to stay on. She said she was so lucky to have such a lovely room. The staff made
her feel like she was on holiday in a 5* hotel. The beautifully tended gardens were a welcome distraction from any personal discomfort. Her carers treated her with kindness dignity and thoughtfulness with light hearted chatter and jokes to cheer her. It is not an easy job being a carer but they have made light of every difficult situation. Nothing was too much trouble in the same situation Woodland Manor is where I would go.

My sister stayed at this care home for approximately two months, under an arrangement with Wexham Park Hospital NHS. During this stay my sister received an exceptionally high standard of care, from all members of staff. All aspects of her care were outstanding and the management has created a friendly
and caring atmosphere. Very efficient and knowledgeable staff working together as a team.

I came in for respite a couple of months ago to see if I felt I could live here as I was not coping very well at home. The answer was yes, so arrangements were set up and then on Good Friday had I had three seizures so it was a blessing I was coming in here for 24/7 care. Food is exceptional. The only
problem is lack of telephone availability.

I was made very welcome on my arrival at Woodland Manor being only the second resident to arrive. In the three months I have been here I have found the majority of the staff friendly and helpful. My caring needs have been dealt with satisfactorily although sometimes a little rushed. I am very happy
with my room and look forward to my visits from my friends and their dogs. The food is of a good standard and the service is very good, long may it continue.

My wife was looked after very well. Indeed the standard of facilities are very good and the food was prepared to her satisfaction, all the staff and management were very attentive. The only suggestion I would make is that there could be more attention given to physiotherapy.

Thank you for sharing your experience of Woodland Manor and for your suggestion. We currently have two visiting Physiotherapists who work with our residents where such services are required. Once again, thank you for your feedback. Annie

My mother was here for 3 weeks on a re-enablement scheme following 8 weeks in hospital. The staff were fantastic and helped to restore her confidence in walking again with a frame. The food and facilities are excellent and my mother commented that she was made to feel 'like a princess'. An excellent
care home where I am certain the long term residents will be very well looked after.

Since my gran was transferred her from hospital we have been extremely happy. Firstly the cleanliness and the overall feel of Woodland Manor is to a high standard and the facilities are excellent. Staff have always been welcoming, friendly and it is clear that they care and listen to our and my grandmothers
needs, concerns etc.
The overall atmosphere is relaxing, and a very pleasant place to visit, especially as we are visiting someone we love and care about. Knowing they are being looked after in this way is very reassuring and helps us a great deal to focus on her. Thank you.

Reply from Annie Lampard, Home Manager at Woodland Manor Care Home

Thank you so much for this review. It is important to us that we promote a positive and happy environment for all who stay with us and also for those who visit us. I will pass on your kind words to everyone involved in your grandmothers' care. Warm wishes, Annie

My husband stay in Woodlands Manor nursing home has been stress free and comfortable. He has received lots of attention, had a clean and beautifully appointed room with en-suite bathroom to fit all his needs. Whenever I visited with my family we were warmly welcomed by the staff who were all helpful
and understanding. Nothing was too much trouble for them. As a family we would highly recommend Woodlands to anyone.

My husband was well cared for in his two week stay to convalesce. This care home is beautifully designed and decorated in lovely colours with excellent lounges. The dining areas are really nice although the food is lacking in choice maybe because the home is so new that it is not full yet, apart from
the food we found Woodland Manor faultless.

Reply from Annie Lampard, Home Manager at Woodland Manor Care Home

Thank you for reviewing Woodland Manor. I'm really pleased to hear you had a positive experience and I welcome the feedback. Regarding food choice, we do our very best to make sure menus offer a variety of dishes so there is plenty to choose from. There is always a daily menu which incorporates Porthaven signature dishes. Breakfast has cold and hot choices from cereals to cooked breakfasts and for lunch, there is always a minimum of two choices for each of the three courses on offer. We also have an alternative menu which offers lighter bites and snacks for those wishing to take advantage of this. Thanks again for your feedback. Wishing you and your husband the very best, Annie

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.
