Facilities at Woodlands include dining rooms, a cinema room, a varied activities programme, landscaped gardens with a patio area, and communal lounges where afternoon tea can be enjoyed. Residents can use the facilities at any time of day which are all-inclusive in the fees including our extra services.
Woodlands Care Home was created solely with the intention of supplying residents with a fulfilling lifestyle. We are delighted to be able to offer a variety of stimulating activities that will be organised by our Activity Coordinators. Our highly skilled staff will make sure the activities available will cater to the hobbies and interests of our residents. Residents are entitled to spend their days the way they wish to so if they prefer to do something else with their time, we fully support that.
Getting Out and About in Aberdeen
We truly feel that the city of Aberdeen is one of the most rewarding places to live. With plenty of places to visit in and around Aberdeen, Woodlands is ideally positioned for residents to experience all Aberdeen has to offer. From historic tours of Dunnottar Castle, to picturesque strolls at Duthie Park and just a short drive to The River Dee the nearest coastal beaches where icecreams and picnics can be enjoyed during the warmer seasons.
Staff will happily take residents to their required destination, whether that’s attending church services at a local church, attending to GP appointments, or just exploring the local community. If residents want to visit the Aberdeen’s city centre, it’s just a short drive away where a variety of local amenities including shops, attractions and eateries can be enjoyed with family and friends.
Residential Care
Residential care will provide residents with the freedom to live their life exactly the way they want to, but assistance will always be available by our friendly staff should a resident need it. Residential care is best suited to those who are struggling to maintain a household or who need help here and there with their personal routine.
We will encourage residents to put their individual abilities and skills to good use so that they can continue to lead a self-sufficient lifestyle. Residents can spend each day carrying out their favourite activities and socialising with like-minded people while all housekeeping duties are dealt with and meals are prepared by our in-house chef.
Nursing Care
Nursing Care will be available to residents who require appropriate medical care and personal care on a 24-hour basis. This method of care will be greatly beneficial to individuals with high dependency needs, physical disabilities and long-term health conditions as well as those needing palliative care.
Our nursing home will have profiling beds and other specialised equipment for maximum comfort for residents receiving nursing care. Each resident will be assigned their own nurse who will get to know a resident to the best of their ability, and who will learn their likes, dislikes and preferences in order to meet a high standard of care through a person centred approach.
Dementia Care
Woodlands Care Home provides dementia care to people living with dementia and who need assistance day-to-day. While continuing to provide exceptional care, our aim is to enable people with dementia to use the abilities they have and maintain a degree of freedom where possible. Our care teams will have received up-to-date dementia training on all aspects of dementia and will ensure all dementia residents feel loved in a home environment.
Because every resident is different, we are aware that some will need minor support while others will need much more depending on the progression of their condition. We will develop a personalised dementia care plan which ensures each resident is receiving an appropriate level of care, which will be reviewed regularly.
Respite Care
Respite care is a form of care offered on a short-term basis that enables people such as carers to take a break from their caregiving responsibilities for a duration of time. It is also best for those who need somewhere to fully recover from an injury or hospital stay until they get back on their feet.
Respite care can also be used to stay at a care home for a couple of weeks as a way of trialling the home before committing to the permanent move. No matter what an individual’s reasons may be for staying at Woodlands, each person will be treated with respect at our Aberdeen residence.
We Offer Our Support
Finding the right care home for you or someone close to you can often bring stress and uncertainty. The experienced team at Woodlands Care Home are always available to discuss the care services on offer at our Aberdeen home. By talking through the individual needs and requirements of an individual, future residents and their loved ones can have peace of mind knowing that a tailored care plan will be created and followed no matter whether they need residential, nursing, dementia or respite care.
Our home will be regulated by the Care Inspectorate which is an independent body that inspects all residential care homes and nursing homes in Scotland and gives an overall rating. This ensures all health and social care services in Scotland meet a high standard of care, where support will be given if required.
