CQC ratings by category
Inspected 8 May 2019 · report published 11 June 2019What inspectors found
Woodley Grange is a residential care home providing personal care and accommodation for up to 40 older people, some of whom live with dementia. Families, residents, and visiting professionals share consistently positive feedback about the welcoming atmosphere, the dedication of the staff, and the high standard of individualized care provided throughout the home.
Residents feel secure living at the home, supported by thorough risk assessments, safe recruitment procedures, properly managed medications, and enough attentive staff who respond promptly to requests.
The team is well-trained and knowledgeable, delivering structured care alongside flexible meal choices, though it is worth noting that some legal authorizations regarding freedom restrictions were still awaiting formal assessment by the local authority at the time of the inspection.
Staff build genuinely warm and respectful relationships with residents, consistently protecting personal dignity, knocking before entering rooms, and maintaining an open, inclusive environment for visiting families.
The home excels in tailoring daily life to individuals, featuring creative community activities such as weekly visits from local pre-school children, therapy animals, and hatching chicks that bring visible joy and active engagement to residents.
Management maintains steady oversight through regular quality audits and incident monitoring, ensuring that the team remains motivated, properly supervised, and committed to continuous improvement.
