On Thursday 9 June we held an afternoon buffet for all our Woodstock Residential Care Home staff in recognition of Carers Week.
Our Head Chef prepared a variety of food and some celebratory Buck’s Fizz! Our Manager Roz gave a lovely speech thanking everyone for their continuous hard work and everyone had a lovely afternoon together.
We received some lovely emails from families acknowledging everyone’s hard work over the last year and showing their appreciation.
We displayed these wonderful messages for everyone to see;
“I cannot sing all your praises enough; you look after and care for my mum amazingly, like she is your mum. I couldn’t have wished for better people for her to be around every day and I value you all so much. You have changed her life, and in turn mine. I feel content knowing she is in the safest of hands. Thank you again for everything you are doing.” Daughter of resident
“My wife has been at Woodstock for 10 months now. At first things were difficult for both of us, and to a degree still are, but when the door is answered, and I am greeted with a big smile, I realise that things aren’t so bad. I’m sure that all the staff are fantastic, but the four that I know best, Marina, Lauren, Stephanie and Ellie are outstanding. Everybody makes Jen’s days more enjoyable. Love to you all.” Husband of resident
“Woodstock’s greatest asset is the wonderful team of Carers! The last couple of years have been particularly challenging and they have clearly risen to that challenge. Although we have only known the team for a short while, we are always impressed by the loving care shown to the residents. They spend time to really get to know residents and their families and this gives me confidence and comfort to know my dear father is being so well cared for. The residents physical, mental and emotional needs are at the forefront of all they do. I love receiving photos and updates that show the varied activities on offer. A last but very important point – the staff all have a lovely telephone manner, warm and friendly!” Daughter of resident
