Since my gran arrived here at Woodview she's been so happy and it's been lovely to see, the staff have been nothing but caing and kind to my gran. Any concerns we have had have been dealt with fast and with care. We cannot praise the staff enough.

Kind and caring staff, always able to smile and show empathy even under pressure. The team are a variety of ages and characters that collectively work harmoniously together to provide a safe and worry-free home for the residents. The care home is warm, clean and comfortable. Nursing level is great. Kindness is forthcoming from all staff members. Nowhere is perfect but we feel comfortable that our choice of care home was definitely correct for us, having visited and tried numerous others locally.

Since my partner arrived at the home the staff have been polite, courteous and professional in looking after my partner. I feel it is necessary to mention that the duties of care, which the staff are obligated to fulfil, are carried out with a sense of pride and affection towards the residents that make their stay not only a comfortable one, but also provides a safe and secure environment where residents can relax and enjoy a friendly atmosphere. A carer's job role can be a stressful one where not enough credit is given to those who deserve it, especially when taking into consideration the long hours and dedication needed to fulfil the required duties of their positions. They do a wonderful job and should be proud of themselves for making a positive difference in the lives of those they serve.

My sister required palliative care during the last few months of her life, I was led to believe this care home was good and provided good care. This was far from the truth. The home was very poor in every way from certain staff members and above meaning home manager. My sister was dying and received the worst treatment. She was given food she couldn't eat and always on my visits was covered in food I had to ask for her bed to be changed as she was lying in food. At times we asked for her to receive help going to the toilet which was ignored. Then she was unable to move out of bed at all. As my sister got worse we asked for medication which she was denied and I was told she only needed paracetamol she wasn't in any pain! We saw how much pain my sister was in and on many occasions she asked me to take her out of this awful place. I would not use this care home it is disgusting and not fit for purpose and I can't believe CQC are letting this home stay open!

Woodview Care Home, on the whole, I have found to be very caring indeed. Sometimes necessary actions seem to be slightly in array but of no significant consequence. If situations have arisen they have been dealt with promptly and efficiently. Only sometimes maybe a few more exterior diversions, e.g. musical entertainment. Sky provision would also be good but I admit my mother is in the minority of residents who would be interested in sport.

My dad was a temporary resident but now would like to be permanent, and this change of mind is due to the loving care he receives at Woodview. All the staff are very friendly and kind towards my dad and any visitors. They have allowed my dad to do things at his own pace, and he has come on leaps and bounds. The staff are happy to answer any questions, and when I ring, they always take the phone to him. The activities are amazing and offered daily, and residents have a choice in which they would like to participate. It's wonderful.

Mum came into Woodview Care Home for respite after falling at home. The welcome was very warm, the room was light and airy with large patio doors. Everywhere is clean and tidy. Day staff are very attentive but night staff delayed the bedtime routine until nearly midnight - not ideal for a tired resident. Next day medication error. Six weeks on, the only complaint is the wait times for commode. Most of the staff are excellent.

Mum has been at Woodview for eight years now and has generally been looked after very well indeed. At the beginning of the month, she sustained an injury to her left lower leg and on examination, my sister found a few more bruises. The leg skin flap was healing nicely but at the next visit, it was covered and was not looking so good. It is now healing nicely. Mum is happy at the home.

My mother came into Woodview Care Home in March 2022 and has had the best care possible. She has settled and is well looked after, all the staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. I cannot express how grateful I am for the care and attention they give to my mum.

Lovely home, fantastic staff.

I have always found the staff very caring and considerate. I do think it would be beneficial to staff and residents to have a phone line for resident use only.
30 June 2021
Excellent care services and nursing services.
18 May 2021
On the whole a well-run and safe home. I have asked on a number of occasions that a carer does a crossword with my mother as agreed pre-entry. It still seems this hasn't been done. On two visits I've had to ask for a clean glass for my mother. Things like this should be automatic.

The staff at Woodview are all lovely and well-informed of patients needs. Any worries I have had in the past have been dealt with efficiently and with understanding. One improvement I would be happy to see is an extra phone line, especially on the weekend when I have had to finish my call as the phone was needed to call 999.

My daughter moved to Greenwood (Woodview) at the beginning of March during Covid lockdown. So far we have found all staff to be kind and caring, very friendly and welcoming. My daughter seems contented, happy she always looks clean and well cared for at each of my visits. All the staff do an excellent job and should be commended for their hard work.

In difficult times, the staff have supported my wife with care and professionalism, whilst also helping me with visiting and keeping me informed. The situation is not perfect for anyone in these COVID times but I thank all the staff of Greenwood and Woodview.

I have every confidence my friend is safe and well looked after during these difficult times. Thank you.
