Mum spent two weeks in respite care at Woodland View to recover from an illness. We are very impressed with the care and attention that she received. From the first contact with the home through to the assessment carried out in her own home and the friendly welcome that mum received, followed by the most wonderful care, we could not have wished for more. All of the staff are amazing and thanks to them mum made a full recovery and was able to return to her own home in good health and with confidence. The rooms are spotless and well appointed as are the communal areas. We would not hesitate to use this service again

Rosemary has been staying at Barchester Woodland View for two years now. I visit as frequently as can be managed, but from a distance. I have to say that Rosemary has been very settled at WV, and we so pleased to be back after a recent hospital stay! On my visits, I have been most impressed by the friendly atmosphere and the way all of the staff anticipate her needs, and seem to care a lot about doing what is generally a challenging job. Thank you!
I was very happy with the way that my wife was looked after. I found that the staff were really nice and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you to all the staff from me and the rest of my family, it put my mind at ease knowing she was comfortable and well cared for.

My husband was placed in Woodland view care home after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. This was such a sad and difficult time for our family but made so much easier by the amazing staff and facilities at the home. They were even so welcoming to our little dog who immediately felt right at home. My husband had the best care we could have hoped for, he was relaxed, happy and comfortable, which he had not been in hospital. He had a lovely bright, sunny room which was well decorated and kept clean. The food was delicious and healthy with a good selection each day. On the day we sadly lost him the staff were incredibly kind, supportive and understanding, going above and beyond to meet the needs of our extended family. We could never thank them enough.
Thank you Bianca for your kind words it means a lot to the team . We wish you all the best and you are more then welcome to pop in with your little dog to visit us at any time!
Very helpful, good standard of accommodation. Staff are friendly and encouraging in my respite care.

Another delicious meal. Gammon, pineapple, roast potatoes and vegetables, a definite favourite! The head chef delivered the lunch trolley with a smile and always makes time to talk to the residents, wave and brighten their day.

I am passionate about our residents being safe, making them happy, and enabling them to lead fully enriched lives whilst always receiving the highest quality of care.
One thing that I feel is really important is offering residents a lot of personal choices and, as Woodland View is their home, they have the right to choose what goes on here. I am hands-on in my role, I like to spend as much time as possible with the people that we care for and I also really enjoy getting to know our residents' families and providing them with support when they need it.
Our team here at Woodland View are dedicated to guaranteeing that all of our residents are treated with dignity, respect and attention, thus, in turn, enabling them to celebrate life in their new Barchester home which I feel exceptionally privileged to be a part of.
My door is always open and I look forward to welcoming you to Woodland View very soon!

Hi, my name is Petra and I'm the Activities Coordinator here at Woodland View. I love seeing the difference that activities can make to each individual, finding out what interests they have and ensuring I incorporate that into our activities here.
I love music and drama coming from a musical background as a singer all over the country, music is important to me and I feel it makes such a difference to everyone, it evokes memories, and creates happiness. I also love to boost residents' self-esteem by creating pampering sessions and having one-on-one time to relax and reminisce.
A lot of our residents also enjoy our special trips out on our Mini Bus as we create new, special memories together at Woodland View.
