"We would like to express our thanks to everyone involved in the care of our mother Hilda. She received love and attention as well as the day to day things she no longer could do for herself. We admire the patience and dedication of the staff and can only recommend Woodlands to people who need the care and want to feel part of a "Family". Everybody was included, be it a birthday, Christmas or Easter. Mom was fortunate to have spent three and a half years amongst people who cared, were gentle and loving. Every hug made a difference and every smile was a comfort. Thanks once again for everything." (A. Flunger - Northcliff)

"We would like to say "Thank You" to you and all the staff at Woodlands for the very caring way in which Colyn has been looked after from the end of March 2009 until today. One would have to hunt very hard to find another home for such kind and good nursing and frail care. We know that the good food provided also helps very much to add contentment to each day for the residents. The good and timeous maintenance of fittings and features at Woodlands is striking. It is with some sadness that we are moving Colyn to a nursing home in George for practical reasons. Please share with us the hope that at a later date we can feel at ease with this move. On Colyn's behalf we wish to express thanks for the comfort and kindness which Woodlands has provided. Perhaps this clock in Woodlands' lounge will remind everyone that "Tranquil Time" is provided here on an ongoing basis. Sincerely " (Dr. GI Lowe - Wilderness)

"Wat ‘n wonderlike oord waar my pa vir ses maande met die grootste liefde, persoonlike aandag, begrip, empatie en simpatie versorg is , 24 uur ‘n dag. Die susters en personeel het hom so tuis laat voel en met al hul mediese kennis hom versorg. Dit was nie net my pa wat volkome aandag gekry het nie maar ook ons familie is elke keer wat ons kom kuier het met soveel deernis behandel en ingelig oor sy welstand. Woodlands is ‘n pragtige oord waar ‘n mens jou ouers met groot gemoedsrus kan laat versorg. Baie dankie aan Joerg en al sy personeel. " (M. le Roux en familie - Bryanston)
