“Thank you all for making mums stay at Woodpeckers an enjoyable and happy one. You all went above and beyond and I cannot thank you enough.”

“Thank you to every one of your caring team for looking after my mum so very well during her stay with you. The power of small kindness is very evident with all the staff”

“To the staff at Woodpeckers, Brockenhurst -a huge thank you for inviting us to your evening for volunteers and for making us feel so welcome and valued. It was a really lovely evening – the food was absolutely delicious, the staff were all very welcoming, the gardens are delightful and the music completed a perfect setting. The lovely thank you card and key ring were the icing on the cake – the wording on the key ring brought a tear to my eye and is something I will treasure.Brockenhurst is so very blessed to have such a wonderful care home for their elderly residents. Only the other day, I met a lady who has had a short stay with you convalescing, and she said it was like staying in a 5* hotel so you and the team should be justly proud of all you do.It is also much appreciated the way you support village life – providing a pudding once a month for the lunches for the elderly held at the church hall and providing soup once a month for the Winter Warmer soup lunches are just a couple of examples. A huge thank you to all concerned.”

“We want to take this opportunity to thank you all so much for everything you have done and the care you gave to our beloved Mum/Nan. Whilst we grieve our loss, we take high comfort knowing she was safe and well cared for throughout her time with you. Not only did you care for her but you also cared for us as a family. Nothing was every too much- you are an amazing team, friendly and helpful. Never too short of a smile, or a cup of tea! Woodpeckers will always have a happy place in our hearts.”

“On Wednesday 14th February, my husband and I were walking in Brookley Road when we were randomly given a gift each. It was International book giving day. The random act of kindness that we experienced came from Woodpeckers Care home! What a wonderful thing to do. We just want to say a huge thank you for your kindness.”

“I would like to thank you and all your staff for everything you have done for Dad over the last 3 years. When he came to you, he was so poorly, I never thought he would see it past his 90th birthday, let alone only just miss his 93rd. I know that we had dad for those years because of your excellent care you gave and of course the nursing. Thank you so much to the laundry staff who kept him so clean and clothes ironed. Thank you to the cleaners who somehow managed to work round his clutter. And thank you to then girls running the entertainment, especially the ones running around to do the special effects at pantomimes. I was worried that dad would not settle to life in a home, but he did and it was due to the way you and all your staff managed his care. You are all wonderful, wonderful people and god bless you all.”
