About Woodland Nursing Home

Woodland Nursing Home has been providing nursing care to older people in Redbridge for those families looking for a supportive and attentive environment for their loved ones. The dedicated team works to ensure residents feel comfortable and well cared for, with a focus on maintaining dignity and individual wellbeing. Families considering care in this part of East London will find a home where staff are committed to getting to know each resident as a person.

Woodland Nursing Home provides personal and nursing care to 30 older people, including those living with dementia and those requiring nursing support. The home is spread across four floors, with communal facilities on the ground floor and residential areas on the upper three floors.

During inspection, shortfalls were identified in risk assessments and care plans, particularly regarding people's needs related to epilepsy and diabetes. Where these conditions were documented, the information was often insufficient to guide safe care. Quality assurance systems were in place but had not effectively identified these gaps in care planning, raising concerns about the home's oversight processes.
