Understanding your life - likes and dislikes, activities and interests, favourite foods and general day to day needs.
Woodford Manor follows the Montessori approach to dementia care. This approach focuses on what people can do, rather than what they can’t. We achieve this by creating an environment suited to each person's unique abilities, needs and interests; and encouraging learning and development of their individual strengths. Alongside this we develop a program of meaningful activities and roles to suit each person. These activities are designed to help each person maintain, or in some instances regain, some ability to carry out simple tasks.
The Montessori approach has demonstrated success in improving people’s self-esteem and giving a sense of belonging to a supportive community.
We offer respite care for both planned breaks, and unforeseen situations where respite is more urgently needed. Knowing that a loved one is being properly cared for while at Woodford Manor allows carers and families to take a break with assurance and confidence. Respite residents have access to round the clock care and are encouraged to participate in activities occurring during their time with us. They’ll enjoy freshly cooked meals and live alongside our permanent residents.
Our quality palliative care is overseen by our nursing team and is centred on respecting the resident, their wishes, and ensuring their individual needs and dignity remain the focus throughout. Our staff provide compassionate and caring support to loved ones at a challenging time.

Respecting your wishes.
We empower our residents to have agency over their care, home and lives. We ensure that residents can make their own choices - always. We provide person-centered care, using the Eden Alternative and Montessori approaches to care.
We say look beyond the chandeliers - while many competitors have a flashy lobby and not much else, our shining jewel is our people. We offer a higher commitment of qualified care than many competitors. We pride ourselves on a lower turnover rate of staff, with higher staffing levels helping avoid burnout, and improving quality of care.
Our home is part of the local community, and we encourage the local community to become part of the home.
Woodford Manor provides individually tailored care so that our residents can focus on enjoying life.
