Latest Reviews for Woodpeckers
16 July 2024
My mother stayed for approximately three years in the care of Woodpeckers nursing home. My family and I have nothing but great respect for the hard-working staff. They made my mum feel part of a big family and nothing was too much for them to do for her. The garden is beautiful and my mum so enjoyed sitting out whilst she could. I cannot thank them enough for their care and love as she neared and finally came to the end of her life.

My father spent three weeks post-hip replacement at Woodpeckers. He received outstanding care. All the staff were exceptional and nothing was too much trouble. They always greeted him with a smile and a laugh and every day made him smile. The food was always of a high standard with plenty of choice. They managed his medication and exercises brilliantly and his mobility is returning very well thanks to their dedication. Thank you so much for everything.

My mother's care has been exemplary. When she was extremely ill, she was treated with care, safety and dignity and was supported well through her recovery. Woodpeckers is a kind and cheerful place.

Moved into Woodpeckers two weeks ago after struggling to cope at home. Immediately made to feel welcome by the friendly caring efficient staff. They understand my needs, and my medical situation, and have ensured I am comfortable and cared for. Happy to make this my forever home.

The staff are unfailingly cheerful and helpful. The food is very good. I couldn't think of a better place to be to treat my mental condition.

I came into Woodpeckers for respite after a major operation. The care I have had is exceptional and way beyond my expectations. Sufficient that I doubled the length of my stay! The staff are so friendly, so patient and so caring. They come from many different countries and work happily together. Food is delicious and plentiful. A menu created with choices to suit all appetites and diets. Activates are varied from quizzes, games, crafts - something for everyone, morning and afternoon. A beautiful garden has been created with pathways for residents to maintain some form of fitness.

My aunt was very happy with Woodpeckers Care Home from the first time we visited the home and was shown around, we loved the place too. All staff were so kind and helpful, they could not have done their job any better, from the maintenance man, the cleaner, the chef, all her nurses and carers, all took a keen interest in my aunt. It was a pleasure every time we visited her. A very big thank you.

My mother spent an extremely happy two weeks staying at Woodpeckers while we were on holiday. With poor eyesight and memory loss, she was worried how she would cope being somewhere new, but was immediately made welcome not only by the very friendly and attentive staff but also by the other residents who confided that they had been nervous the first couple of days too! However, just like them, Mother very quickly found Woodpeckers to be a most caring environment, with everyone doing their best to help her settle in and feel at home. She loved getting breakfast in bed and said that every meal was quite delicious. Mother loves company and was never short of someone to talk to, either in the sun lounge, out in the beautiful garden or at the dining table. She enjoyed all the activities and was clearly never bored for a minute! She is now looking forward to coming to stay for longer.

Did I know I was to walk into my happy, happy dream home - from the most welcome smile and terminology by the receptionist then welcomed as he bought us from our reserved parking place. The welcome was warm, so welcoming and genuine, I felt at home within minutes. The staff are all such a top team, kind, thoughtful and they all listen. I would like to live here forever but I feel that my husband could not live without me. Sometimes we dislike each other and tell each other such but the deep love is deeper than the deepest ocean. 60.5 years married.

My husband has been a resident in Woodpeckers for 22 months and my daughters and I have nothing but praise for it. The home always has a warm and welcoming atmosphere at any time of day. The manager and lead nurse are readily available for queries or discussions and nothing is too much trouble. The staff, in every area, are courteous and helpful and the care my husband receives is excellent. The choice of food is varied and caters for all tastes and is of high quality. In addition, there are different activities and outings available. Woodpeckers have a very high reputation in Brockenhurst.

In particular, I value the quality and quantity of food and efforts made to meet particular likes and dislikes, given my needs, the chef goes above and beyond to cater for me. The kindness shown by all members of staff has been recognised by myself and my family.
