neighbour testimonials

Hear from our neighbours and families

The best way to understand life at Woodbank Apartments is to hear from the people who call it home. Our neighbours share their experiences — from the warm welcome they received to the friendships, freedom, and peace of mind they’ve found here.

Woodbank is a tremendous set of apartments for retirement living. The apartments are bright, modern and well equipped. The communal facilities are excellent - bar, lounge, restaurant, gym - and provide an option to engage with others when you want. The chef prepares delicious meals cooked to a restaurant standard in an inviting environment.
All the staff at Woodbank are very kind and attentive, and it is a great comfort to know that my father's apartment is part of a caring community. The management sets great store by the family being happy and we are welcomed whenever we visit. They keep us informed and we can call them to discuss anything with them. We are part of the extended Woodbank family.
I would recommend a visit if you're thinking about retirement living for you or a family member. You will be warmly greeted by the Manager and her staff and they will listen to you.

Wow what a fabulous place. My mum moved in in December and it is the happiest I have seen her in a long time. The staff are all so welcoming and helpful and she was immediately made to feel at home.

My brother in law and his wife recently moved into Woodbank Apartments in Woking, so my husband and I flew over from America to visit them and see their new surroundings. We were very impressed with everything we saw there. It’s a lovely new building, immaculately maintained and very light and airy. As well as individual apartments, they have communal areas where the residents can meet for social activities or a meal, or simply to meet and chat. They have a Snug (bar), a lounge with shelves of books to borrow, a gym and a super restaurant. We stayed in their guest suite, which was large and comfortable with a private bathroom, and I can say from experience that their full English breakfasts are absolutely delicious. They also serve small lunches in the Snug and have a full restaurant for anyone who doesn’t want to cook for themselves. The staff are fabulous. Very welcoming to residents and visitors alike, and they make the whole place feel like a wonderful family environment.

Christine Bell

My mum lived in Woodbank Apartments for 3 years, and I cannot praise this place more highly. The staff are SO lovely, kind, thoughtful and caring. The apartments are set in the most wonderful setting, and it really is the solution for giving elderly parents their independence but knowing they have a constant support network around them. Wonderful weekly timetable of activities, theme food nights, movie nights and delicious food enhanced the whole experience. Mum made so many wonderful friends who also look out for each other. Wholeheartedly will continue to recommend. Thank you to the whole team.
