Reviews for Wood Grange Care Home
What our families say on carehome.co.uk
"My mum stayed at Barchester Wood Grange Care Home for nine nights of respite care. It was the first time she had been away from her own home for care of this sort. All the staff were amazing with her, very patient and attentive and encouraged her to join in with the daily activities, such as painting and drawing. She loved to people-watch, chat to visitors and interact with fellow residents. Family and friends who visited said what a good place it was for her and how the staff were very helpful and informative."

"Mum was bedbound, had severe dementia and on end-of-life care. On first contact with Barchester Wood Grange Care Home, they appreciated the urgency of her situation and within three days, Mum had an assessment in her own home, transport arranged and moved in. From the first evening until her last breath, Mum was cared for in a very loving and caring atmosphere. The home itself is tastefully decorated to give a friendly, homely feel. Every aspect of Mum's care needs was more than met and our family was impressed how quickly Mum settled into her new home. Mum's world could have shrunk to just her room but much effort was made to help her participate in activities, including group quiz and visit the lounge and garden when possible. Sometimes, activities were taken to her and she often had her nails and hair done. The staff were amazing, thoughtful and kind not only to Mum but to any family and friends visiting, always making sure there were seats to sit on and a cuppa to be had. We can't thank them enough."

"My dad has been living at Wood Grange for nearly 4 years and during that time he has always been treated with dignity and respect. The staff are patient, attentive and very welcoming every time I visit. They obviously adore my dad and love to do anything they can to make him smile. I'd like to especially thank my dad's carers who treat my dad with humour and compassion and for making the home and my and my mum's visits as pleasant an experience as is possible in the circumstances. A big thank you for all you do to make sure my dad is happy and comfortable and safe and my mum and I have peace of mind that he is in the best place possible. Words can't express our gratitude."

"My Husband has been a resident of Wood Grange Care Home for over 5 years. He has had the very best of care. (I have experience of other very poor care homes) I am able to relax, knowing I have nothing to worry about regarding his welfare. I feel extremely lucky to have found such a superior home for my Husband."

"The staff here are excellent - very caring, professional and hard working, especially on Willoughby nursing unit. The leadership of nurses is outstanding. - Rooms are too small and furniture too big, making manoeuvring difficult. - For value for money, I have marked good only because I feel that they are too few staff at certain times of the day. - Paperwork seems excessive and cumbersome and takes too much time. Should be simplified."

"My wife spent 18months in the dementia unit where she was well cared for. She eventually lost her mobility and became increasingly helpless. New residents had increasingly challenging behaviour and it was felt my wife might be vulnerable in their company. 6 months ago the decision was taken to move her into the nursing unit, where the atmosphere is much calmer and the staff have more time for care duties. I feel she is now receiving better and more suitable care."

"My mother has extremely good care at Wood Grange. Staff are caring and considerate. Staff and management have been available for me to discuss my mother's on going care. My mother has been encouraged to interact with others - activities, hairdressing etc. This is particularly important as she finds leaving her room difficult but enjoys herself once she has."

"As a family, we would like to thank all the staff at Wood Grange Care Home who supported our mum during and after her fall. We are aware it took close to two hours for the ambulance to arrive during which time the staff were attentive and caring for her and her condition. We would like to state we do not see the staff or the processes at Wood Grange could have prevented her fall but they made a huge positive difference after the fall. The staff have been very supportive and professional in their care for her and her complex needs. Leading up to and after her fall the staff continue to treat her with dignity, respect and care. My mum has had complex care needs for the past twelve years so we have some experience in other public private facilities. In regard to Wood Grange we are so very impressed with the attention to detail, the care, compassion and humility all the staff have shown her and us as a family at this emotional time."

"My wife was found to have Alzheimer's illness 10 years ago. I did my best to look after her for 2 or 3 years but unfortunately, I had to have help from Wood Grange. She gradually became worse and worse. She died after 7 1/2 years at the home in May 2018. I can only say how wonderful the staff and management were - so helpful."

"Having had two successful respite periods at Wood Grange, the time has arrived for mum's need to be catered for on a permanent basis in a care home.

"My relative moved to Memory Lane recently from the residential unit. Staff in the unit and the staff who moved his belongings were very good, including those who put up his pictures etc to make the room more homely.

"The care and attention to my father's needs as he has settled in as a resident has been notable and exceptional. Every staff member takes time to enquire of and attend to his needs, and they all have contributed to making him feel increasingly at home here. As a visitor, I'm always greeted with a cheery hello and a smile; the family atmosphere is palpable and never wavers. We are both content that we have chosen the right place for my father, and a difficult transition has been eased."

"I have raised several queries with the staff but all have been rectified quickly to my sister's and my satisfaction. My sister does get frustrated at having to stay upstairs - in her mind, she is well enough to stay. I have explained she needs nursing care and she is happy to just go down for coffee and listen to the music in reception. If someone could just come from upstairs to take her to the toilet downstairs, it would be perfect."

"Both of my parents spent their last two years at Wood Grange. Dad had vascular dementia and passed away in June 2019, Mum had Alzheimer's and passed away in April 2020. The care, attention and dignity given to both of my parents was outstanding. I was involved throughout and got to know most of the staff very well. The management were receptive and listened to suggestions. The building is not the most modern and the rooms are a little small. However, the property is well maintained and very clean. The only criticism I have of Wood Grange is that parking is often a problem and this is exacerbated when Wood Grange was used for external training."

"I have a long association with Wood Grange and have been a regular visitor for many months prior to Covid-19 restrictions I am full of admiration for all the staff and the excellent care they provide for the residents. Staff have made a supreme effort to provide stimulation for all residents with varied activities organised by staff themselves. Great efforts are made to stay in touch with relatives and keep them informed about their loved ones. We have been treated with great respect and care by all the staff and nothing is too much trouble for them. The whole team at Wood Grange are excellent and working incredibly hard in difficult times.

"The new online booking system for visits seems to be working well. My visit today was in the newly installed outdoor 'pod'.

"In these unprecedented times of the pandemic, it has been very difficult having loved ones in a care home and not able to visit them freely. No one could have foreseen this and I have to say that Wood Grange has been tremendous in the efforts they have made to enable communication with families over this period. All the staff have been wonderful and we have been able to visit the outdoor pod which has been very successful. The activities team have made such a difference to daily life for residents in these strange times and it is reassuring for us that everyone is safe and so well cared for and not alone. Thank you, Wood Grange, for the wonderful job you are all doing in these difficult circumstances and we look forward to being able to see you all again soon."

"Mum had a couple of falls and after a stay in hospital and diagnosis of widespread metastatic cancer she chose not to go home but to be looked after 24/7. Barchester Wood Grange Care Home was my first choice of home, I am employed by the NHS so was aware on a professional level of the care provided there and the excellent management structure. We as a family are so grateful for the care Mum received. Every single member of staff is dedicated to their role. The compassion and the actual caring for the residents as individuals shines through. Our Mum actually loved it here and spoke so highly of all the staff. If you are looking for a place for your parents to be cared for we as a family can highly recommend Wood Grange Care Home."

"I was extremely disappointed with this care home. When I viewed it I was shown into a room that was clean and well decorated but the room my husband was allocated was dirty (bathroom bin hadn’t been emptied from the last incumbent); the taps in the tiny en-suite lavatory were badly corroded and one didn’t even turn off, the carpet was filthy and the room smelled of faeces. During the two weeks my husband was there I visited six times and on three occasions found him sitting in his own excrement. Another time I noticed he had the same clothes on for three days running and when I challenged the staff about this they admitted they had put his dirty clothes back on each morning. The visiting physio was appalled to see his transfer frame was smeared in dried faeces. She complained and a lame attempt to clean it with a dry cloth was made. This home is not running to a satisfactory standard."

"Since Dad has been at Wood Grange, he has flourished. He arrived from a two-week stay in hospital, looking frail and with severe mobility issues. Thanks to the wonderful care, food and company of Wood Grange staff, he is a changed man and at 93, is as active as ever. All the staff are hard-working, caring and compassionate, and I know they all have Dad's best interests at heart. We always receive a warm welcome on arrival, are made comfortable with refreshments and made to feel part of the Wood Grange family."

The activity team try very hard to keep residents engaged in daily activities and know their capabilities very well. Nurses are very efficient and communicate any issues to families. Staff are very caring and know their residents' personalities, habits, likes and dislikes etc extremely well. I feel happy and have peace of mind knowing my mum is looked after 24 hours a day and has people around her all of the time. I feel Mum being at Wood Grange is the next best place to be other than living in her own home."

"The staff at the home have been so kind and accommodating to my dad. He moved from another home where he had not been happiest. Within 10 days his whole personality had reverted back to his old self. Staff celebrated his own individuality and everyone tried their hardest to put him at ease. All of this means that residents are happy socialising together and with staff which makes for such a welcoming environment. I cannot recommend this home highly enough."

His religious beliefs were respected and supported. I found the staff to be professional but what I appreciated particularly is that they genuinely cared for him, some cried when he died. I am so grateful he spent his final months there because he was happy."

"What a difference Barchester Wood Grange Care Home has made to Mum! She is so much happier thanks to the amazing staff, carers and activities coordinators, She is joining in with the activities, with particular mention to the excellent Caribbean afternoon, the indoor golf, flower arranging and the church services. She loves to sit in the well-kept garden which has looked so lovely during the summer months. We had to make the difficult decision to move her in May and are 100% happy with our choice of residence. Thank you to all involved in her care."

"Wood Grange Care Home have looked after both my dad and currently my mum. All the staff are second to none, so caring and professional. My dad’s first stay at Wood Grange was prior to COVID and when my mum needed extra care and support last year, we chose Wood Grange again. What was so lovely and I think speaks volumes, was the majority of the staff were still at the care home who had been there in 2019. Wood Grange has a homely/family feel and staff are always so welcoming each time you visit. They have a great variety of activities for the residents to participate in: live music, games, gardening club, scrapbooking, quizzes, and bingo to name just a few. They also welcome dogs to visit, and many of the residents really benefit from this. I would without a doubt recommend Wood Grange to friends and family, thank you for all you do."

No one could have foreseen this and I have to say that Wood Grange has been tremendous in the efforts they have made to enable communication with families over this period. All the staff have been wonderful and we have been able to visit the outdoor pod which has been very successful. The activities team have made such a difference to daily life for residents in these strange times and it is reassuring for us that everyone is safe and so well cared for and not alone. Thank you, Wood Grange, for the wonderful job you are all doing in these difficult circumstances and we look forward to being able to see you all again soon."

The care, attention and dignity given to both of my parents was outstanding. I was involved throughout and got to know most of the staff very well. The management were receptive and listened to suggestions. The building is not the most modern and the rooms are a little small. However, the property is well maintained and very clean. The only criticism I have of Wood Grange is that parking is often a problem and this is exacerbated when Wood Grange was used for external training."

We are aware it took close to two hours for the ambulance to arrive during which time the staff were attentive and caring for her and her condition. We would like to state we do not see the staff or the processes at Wood Grange could have prevented her fall but they made a huge positive difference after the fall. The staff have been very supportive and professional in their care for her and her complex needs. Leading up to and after her fall the staff continue to treat her with dignity, respect and care. My mum has had complex care needs for the past twelve years so we have some experience in other public private facilities. In regard to Wood Grange we are so very impressed with the attention to detail, the care, compassion and humility all the staff have shown her and us as a family at this emotional time."

The leadership of nurses is outstanding. - Rooms are too small and furniture too big, making manoeuvring difficult. - For value for money, I have marked good only because I feel that they are too few staff at certain times of the day. - Paperwork seems excessive and cumbersome and takes too much time. Should be simplified."

"The staff always make us feel very welcome when we visit dad. Dad is clearly adored by his carers and he's clearly very happy at the home. It makes such a difference knowing he's so well looked after at it gives the family peace of mind. The home itself is clean and bright with a lovely homely atmosphere. Thank you to all who care for my dad to make sure his every need is not only met but exceeds all expectations. Thank you."

"Mum is well cared for and well fed. Encouraged to take an interest in activities, though she rarely joins in. Always clean and nicely dressed and enjoys having her hair done and nail. Has more pride in her appearance that when she lived at home. Carers treat her kindly which is the most important thing."

"My Husband has been a resident of Wood Grange Care Home for over 5 years. He has had the very best of care. (I have experience of other very poor care homes) I am able to relax, knowing I have nothing to worry about regarding his welfare. I feel extremely lucky to have found such a superior home for my Husband."

"My dad has been living at Wood Grange for nearly 4 years and during that time he has always been treated with dignity and respect. The staff are patient, attentive and very welcoming every time I visit. They obviously adore my dad and love to do anything they can to make him smile. I'd like to especially thank my dad's carers who treat my dad with humour and compassion and for making the home and my and my mum's visits as pleasant an experience as is possible in the circumstances. A big thank you for all you do to make sure my dad is happy and comfortable and safe and my mum and I have peace of mind that he is in the best place possible. Words can't express our gratitude."
