Why Woodside is the Right Choice for Your Loved One

There’s something special about the peace that surrounds Woodside. Our extensive landscaped grounds blend seamlessly into woodland, create a sense of sanctuary that sets our home apart. While nature provides the perfect backdrop, our experienced nursing team ensures every Resident receives the precise care they need.

"The moment we drove up Bathwick Hill and saw the gardens leading to woodland, we knew Woodside was different. The combination of expert nursing care and peaceful surroundings has made such a difference to Dad."

Our Care Services

We focus exclusively on providing expert nursing care, with three specially designed suites ensuring we can tailor our support to each Resident’s specific needs:

Premium Physiotherapy Packages

We understand that maintaining mobility and independence is of the utmost importance for our Residents’ well-being. At Woodside, our Residents have the option to purchase a Premium Physiotherapy Package with one of our Cedar Care Physiotherapists. All of our physiotherapists have previously worked as care assistants, giving them the ability to navigate the challenges associated with helping those in their later years to get back to their best. They have a genuine passion for caring for the elderly and vulnerable, and are keen to help Residents to maintain their independence or regain motor skills where they can. We know that starting a new service can be daunting, especially when it is focused on physical activity. If you are unsure if the Premium Physiotherapy Package is for you, you can request a free Taster Week by speaking with the Home Manager. For more information on our Premium Physiotherapy Packages, please click here.

What Our Residents Say

Real Stories, Real People

Thank you, I am pleased to be here. Everyone is so kind and helpful. I am so pleased to say I can now walk again after this rest, I never thought I would ever walk again.

Resident 17 April 2024

The home is spotlessly clean and the staff are welcoming and always on hand. Mum is settled and happy. Her room is bright and spacious and always tidy. There is lots of interaction for Mum from the staff and other residents, she enjoys the varied activities on offer. We would recommend Woodside.

Daughter of Resident 18 January 2024

I am so impressed with the level of care my mother receives since she came to Woodside. All the staff on Oak Suite have been compassionate and understanding and respond well to all her needs. Mum doesn't attend activities any longer, but they are well planned and enjoyable. I am also thankful for the excellent support they give me and all the family - we would all recommend Woodside 100%. I don't think there is a better facility.

Daughter of Resident 25 October 2023

My 91-year-old mother is bed-bound and PEG-fed following a prolonged hospital stay and a massive stroke. Since her discharge to Woodside, she has received excellent nursing care in very pleasant meticulously clean surroundings. Updates on her progress have been consistent and informative. I feel assured that she is in safe capable hands. All the staff are always polite, friendly and helpful.

Daughter of Resident 18 July 2023

Our father has been a resident of Woodside Nursing Home since last year and we have always found the Manager and staff very welcoming and supportive. We feel that dad is well cared for and appears happy. It is a comfort for us to know that he is being supported.

Daughter of Resident 7 May 2023

Woodside is a good home and although dad wasn't keen to start with he has settled and seems content. The staff are respectful, kind and friendly. Dad loves the outside space and we spend time together sitting and enjoying the trees. As his only child, I have felt so relieved that he is safe and cared for.
