Victoria Hutchinson

Its care staff have completed a range of training from induction and mandatory training to more specialist individual and/or small group coaching. The care home has looked closely at what it takes to live a good life with dementia and staff are determined to share their expertise with everyone who comes to live at the home.

Residents can bring their own furniture for their room and will consider any request for a pet to live within the home. Residents are encouraged to receive visitors at any time. If it’s during mealtimes then the staff can make arrangements for you to have a meal with your visitor in your room.

Together the home cooked food and the busy activity programme ensures that residents enjoy the best of days. Special events and meals are planned for residents and families throughout the year, with friends and family welcome to book a table in the dining room for either breakfast, lunch or dinner!

Our lovely rooms are a variety of sizes, some with en-suites. We would encourage anyone moving to Woodlands Care Home to bring in items to personalise your room, bringing in a touch of homes. Some of our rooms have garden views, others have sea views but whichever room you choose I’m sure you will be very happy with.

There’s plenty going on in this home and we actively encourage residents to continue with lifelong hobbies and interests, whatever they might be. Or alternatively, residents might enjoy trying a new interesting activity. Whichever, or both, the care team as well as the activity team are happy to promote, encourage and attend any activity to ensure that residents have fun and fulfilment in their lives. The aim is to promote stimulation for mind and body as well as general wellbeing. Any new ideas for recreational activities are welcome! A regular newsletter produced for both residents and their family's keep’s everyone in touch with what is going on at Woodlands Care Home.

Activities Are So Important

It is important that our residents still feel part of the wider community and our teams ensure this is a priority by organising trips out to local groups, clubs, sights or just going down to the local pub for a pint. We also invite local groups, schools and places of worship and entertainers into our homes.

At Woodlands Care Home, our Lifestyle team members work hard to ensure our residents individual needs are met. Uncovering and capturing
individual resident hobbies and interests, as well as resident life histories, is an essential element of success in providing personalised daily activities which residents will enjoy. Individual activities for residents are of great importance – letter writing, video calls with family members, attending churches and continuing long standing attendance at community groups and clubs can all be supported and achieved with the help of our Lifestyle team.
