Woodside House has its own Scheme Manager and Assistant Scheme Manager. Their role is to keep an "unobtrusive eye" on the well being of residents and to ensure they receive the help and support they might need. Residents' privacy and independence is respected and they are encouraged to maintain their ties and activities outside of the scheme.

There are 57 one bedroom and 37 two bedroom flats, as well as 15 bedsitting room flats and 1 two bedroomed bungalow at Woodside House.

All properties benefit from modern kitchens and bathrooms, many having a walk-in shower. In addition, all have central heating, double glazed windows, high standards of insulation and a “call system”. This is operational 24 hours a day, connecting you directly to the Woodside House staff, or the Central Control facility operated by Welwyn Hatfield Council and their Mobile Warden Service.

Facilities at the scheme include:
- lifts serving most flats
- a door entry facility on 4 blocks
- a CCTV security system on 3 blocks
- 2 guest suites
- an onsite laundry
- car parking
- storage for motorised buggies
- a fire alarm system
- very well maintained grounds

Residents also have use of the Jack Lee Hall (soon to be fully refurbished). The Jack Lee Hall provides a meeting place for the social activities that the residents organise on a regular basis.

The rents and service charges at Woodside House are kept as low as possible. As at April 2008 they were around £422 per month for a one bedroom flat, and £464 per month for a two bedroom flat.

The rents and service charges at Woodside House qualify for Housing Benefit and the Housing Association positively encourages, and assists, all residents to make an application.
