Life Flourishes at Woodlands & Hill Brow
Life within our homes is vibrant and enriching, offering meaningful choices every day. Residents might be cultivating herbs in our gardening club, enjoying a gentle Pilates class, or helping to bake delicious scones in our country-style kitchen for afternoon tea. You’ll often hear laughter drifting through the courtyard as friends share stories over a cuppa or cheer along during a lively quiz night. Our menus, thoughtfully developed with dietitians and residents, are designed to balance delicious flavours with crucial brain-healthy nutrition.
A Lasting Legacy of Care
Our journey began in 1976, when Nurse Gillian Lee founded Woodlands. Her motivation stemmed from a deeply personal experience: struggling to find truly compassionate care for her own grandmother. Today, that founding vision is carried forward by three generations of her family. Her daughter Alison, also a dedicated nurse, and granddaughter Anna are central to our daily operations. Their hands-on leadership ensures swift decisions, provides familiar, comforting faces for residents, and cultivates an atmosphere that feels genuinely more like a cherished family home than a traditional care centre.

• Outstanding CQC Inspection Rating: Our independent inspection rating speaks volumes, consistently praising our safe, effective, and responsive care, providing you with absolute confidence.
• Investors in People: Our commitment to continuous professional development means that best-practice dementia techniques are always at the very heart of everything we do.
• Flexible Visiting Policy: We maintain an open-door policy. You are welcome to drop in whenever it suits you – there’s no need for advance booking.
• Community & Financial Support: Through our family charity, Families Supporting Care, we offer assistance to residents facing financial hardship and actively support local Alzheimer’s groups within the wider community.
