View Full Details of The Woodville Centre at HamMy wife, who lives with vascular dementia and Alzheimer's, has been cared for twice a week at Woodville Day Centre since 2020 to give me my only respite as a full-time, 24/7 carer. She is an awkward customer for sure but my experience is that she is treated with absolute respect, dignity and friendliness. Nothing appears to be too much trouble and on more than one occasion the team have gone above and beyond what could described as reasonable. I have no reservation about recommending Woodville to anyone who needs dementia care for a loved one.
The Woodville Centre in Ham is a wonderful, wonderful place: it is an oasis of calm, peaceful professional care for those suffering from dementia and for those family members who look after them. My wife has late-stage Alzheimer's and I first approached the Centre for help when I needed someone to look after her for an afternoon while I attended tests myself at the hospital. I was filled with trepidation at the thought of just how awful it might be. I had a lengthy chat with the manager and was immediately reassured by her willingness to listen, to empathise and to discuss. The impression I got from her was reinforced by the calm professionalism with which the other staff on duty went about caring for and interacting with those needing their help or companionship: you can learn an awful lot from watching people when they're unaware of being observed. We have now used their services on a number of occasions and I cannot understate how much we have appreciated their help.
