Why should I stay at Woodlands?

Woodlands is committed to equality of opportunity and to the MS Society’s policy of Access & Inclusion. Our emphasis is on high quality care with a holistic approach to ensure that social, emotional and spiritual needs as well as physical and care needs are included in the care planning process.

We will also encourage as much independence and individual freedom of choice as we can so that Guests’ usual routines can be maintained as far as is possible.

“Being able to relax knowing I was safe with help readily available if I wanted it, but never forced on me.”

“The homely feel to the whole place.”

“Everybody was friendly and helpful.”

“Every part of my stay was enjoyable. The staff made sure of that.”

“I always enjoy my stay and everything is done to make it that way. It is a feeling of being thoroughly spoiled and yet your own capabilities are recognised and encouraged.”
