My sister has been a resident in this care home for over a year. She is treated with kindness, understanding, empathy, respect, professionalism and all-round complete good care. She is kept safe and is well cared for. Her decisions are considered in all aspects and she has a great relationship with the team of carers, domestics, kitchen team, activities coordinator and management. This relationship is so important for her but also for us to witness and eases any concerns we may have for her wellbeing. We are local to the home and some staff know our family which for us is a great comfort. Thank you.

The staff are very friendly and caring. Any concerns we may have are dealt with properly. Mum is happy which shows she is content with her surroundings. At 99 next Jan mobility is a problem and must be helped which is not the most dignified for Mum. However, she accounts for this and the staff do their very best to make her "trip" as soon as it can get. A really nice care home for Mum for the last 2 1/2 months.

We realised that Mum was no longer able to live alone in her flat in Stowmarket, where she has lived for many years and has many friends, her eyesight was failing, she was frail and had had a couple of falls around her flat. Having talked through her needs with Mum, we decided (with her full agreement) that she would be better off living somewhere where she could have security, care and comfort, she did express a wish to continue living in Stowmarket (I do not live in Suffolk) so she could continue contact with her friends. We identified three possible care homes in the town and visited Woodfield Court with Mum to view the facilities and to discuss the moving in process. Woodfield was the one that people had spoken of being the best out of those we viewed. Made welcome on the initial visit, everything was explained to us. Mum's moving in day was hard but staff made her feel welcome and soon put her at ease. Always cheerful, she gets on well with staff, I am happy Mum chose Woodfield Court.

Woodfield Court has a warm and friendly atmosphere engendered by the caring, hardworking and welcoming staff and management team. There are celebrations, events and activities (personal and national) for all tastes and abilities. Meals are of a high standard with a good choice. Residents are encouraged to make choices and decisions to give a feeling of ownership and belonging and care in a safe environment. A lovely home, I couldn't ask for more.

After a series of falls at her home and a short stay at hospital, we moved my mother into Woodfield Court with the idea that it would be a temporary arrangement, to beef her up before she returned home. The manager there couldn’t have been more helpful and made the task easy. So mum moved in, and we were immediately aware of what a thoughtful and caring bunch of people they are. Woodfield Court gave us a special treat in allowing us to have Christmas lunch with mum; it was quite touching... so touching, that mum tearfully told us she loves it here, and she didn’t want to go home. So she stayed; Now 6 months on and she still loves it there. It’s the staff that make Woodfield Court special; Always smiling, and nothing seems too much trouble. My mother loves the vast array of daily activities and is often tired but never bored. I’ve never had anything to do with care homes until now so feel unable to compare, but couldn’t wish for a better one.

They have looked after my mother superbly. She was happy there. The staff are caring and supportive. The mixing of those with dementia with those who are just frail is beneficial to both groups. I cannot thank them enough.

Can not thank all of the staff and careers for the support and understanding they have provided for my father over the last twelve months in what have been very challenging and difficult circumstances. Their understanding is second to none, they work well as a team whilst providing individual care to their residents. I am a frequent visitor to the home and have never seen anything other than staff at all levels providing a first-rate and compassionate service.

I went for afternoon tea with my dad yesterday. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent. They had decorated the tea room up lovely for Christmas. I even got a Christmas card and present from my dad which was a lovely touch.

Dad has been a resident for just over two years, and he seems to enjoy what the home has to offer. Staff always seem friendly, helpful and attentive. Would be nice if they wore a uniform. This did happen during early 2021 but recently has stopped. I, as a visitor, take care, I think they should also.

All the staff were friendly. Mum was treated with dignity, when they felt she needed medical assistance her wishes were granted and they supported her throughout. It is an old Victorian house so the rooms are small, the only downside means the toilet and washing facilities made the room even smaller. Every member of staff knew her name and were always polite when we visited (which unfortunately was limited due to Covid but then no one (staff or residents) contracted it.)

Coped very well in the extreme covid situation.

Mum has been a resident for over 2 years and I’ve nothing but praise for the staff. They work tirelessly when I’m sure they’re short-staffed and they have been absolutely fantastic throughout the pandemic. There isn’t a huge turnaround of staff which is nice because there’s a continuity of care which also shows because of an obvious connection between staff and residents. My mum recently had a short spell in hospital and I can honestly say I couldn’t wait for her to get back to Woodfield Court to people she knew and who were genuinely concerned for her.

My mother has been a resident of Woodfield Court since June 2018. She settled in very quickly and is happy and well cared for and above all, safe. The staff are all kind and considerate, no matter how busy they are and Mum has never complained about her care. Mum fell and broke her hip in March and was sent back to Woodfield Court within a week and the care she has received since has been excellent and she is making very good progress. She is 93 years old.

My father is very well cared for and I have no worries about his safety. Many of the staff have been at the home for a number of years. Relatives can visit at any time and are always made welcome.

Care is good with continuity of staff, any special needs are catered for within the resident parameters. As relatives, we are given a warm welcome when visiting and kept aware of any change in the condition of our relative. All staff give a good service under I am sure some trying conditions.
