My husband was a resident of Woodstown from June 2021 until his death,
aged 80, a month ago. He had a severe stroke in 2020 and was physically
very dependent. I wanted to send a review particularly reflecting on the
last few months of his life. He came to Woodstown after trying two other
nursing homes. We chose Woodstown because of its specialist facilities,
gym and in-house physiotherapy, and staff expertise. This was a good
move for him, the care was excellent, with personalised physiotherapy
plans, updated regularly. The care staff created a family atmosphere as
did the housekeeping team. Knowing that his condition could not improve,
we had discussed end-of-life and asked that he should not go to hospital
but continue to be nursed by the staff he knew, in familiar
surroundings. Everything was done for his comfort. He had one-to-one
activity time with music, relaxation, sensory lighting. The staff
ensured that his death was as peaceful as one could wish for.
