Woodbury House

We are working within the government guidelines to help protect our staff and clients.

Whether you’re entertaining your family and friends, spending time with other residents or taking part in activities, our living rooms are ideal. It’s always up to you whether you want to get involved with activities – you’re more than welcome to sit back, relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

Spread out across the home there are two communal lounges where we hold one-to-one activity sessions, watch films, and relax together.

Woodbury House is surrounded by an acre of lovely gardens. Our well-maintained lawns, flowerbeds, mature trees and large patio area are a big part of life here. The garden is also home to some of our pets – we currently have badgers and rabbits.

Residents love to relax outdoors and watch the world go by. We also have a summer house that is wheelchair accessible. We regularly serve afternoon tea on the patio when the weather is fine. The landscaped grounds are beautifully maintained and are a pleasure to walk around. In the summer we hold many activities outdoors, including garden parties and barbeques.

With 37 bedrooms offering residential, nursing and dementia care, we think carefully about the type of room each resident needs. Half of the rooms are en-suite and there are bath and shower rooms for residents to use with or without assistance.

All our rooms have recently been refurbished to the highest specifications with new furniture, soft furnishings and fittings. We have designed the rooms with your comfort in mind. Your bedroom furniture consists of: an appropriate bed suitable to your needs, wardrobe, bedside table with lockable drawer, armchair and other furniture suitable to the size of the room. Your bed linen and towels are provided by the home.

We understand that moving into Woodbury House will be a considerable transition, but one we try to make feel as easy as possible. Your room is your own personal space, which is why we encourage you to personalise it if you like, by hanging your favourite pictures or bringing small pieces of furniture.

A willingness to get involved and try new things is something we see time and again, once people are given the opportunity. We have a dedicated Recreation and Activities Coordinator who oversees everything, but all our team regularly brainstorm new ideas, too. Our residents also have the opportunity to vote on their suggestions at our monthly activity meetings, so we can be sure everyone’s looking forward to something, every day.

Activities vary each week: from pet therapy and reading club, to music exercises and knitting. And everything’s flexible – if it’s sunny we try and get outside, so everyone can appreciate the best of the day.

We’ve built excellent links to the community, allowing residents to continue their lives outside the home with ease. We take visits to places of interest, cafes, garden centres, and local parks every two weeks for those who fancy it.

It might be possible for you to bring a pet, but this would depend on the type of animal. You can discuss this with the Home Manager. Relatives are also welcome to bring pets to visit.
