My husband arrived here last Friday following a spinal stroke, an aortic dissection and a prolonged hospital stay. He had an unfortunate placement in a care home with several episodes of bad care. I chose woodland View after extensive searching. We are delighted with the quality of care and attention to my husband's complex needs. The food is five star and I get lunch too! The room is comfortable and the equipment used is of top quality. He feels secure.
Two weeks respite care, all the staff are very helpful. The home and all about it is excellent.

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.

This is my first job in the Healthcare Sector and now I can’t imagine doing anything else. I love all the different people I get to meet and the friendships I make with staff, residents and relatives alike. It makes me really happy to know that I get to make a difference in the lives of the residents I help care for and seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces brings me huge amounts of joy. Working at Woodland View is such a rewarding job and I am very glad that I have a place here in our little work family.

Hi, I am Iuliana and I am proud to be Woodland View's chef.
Running the kitchen at Woodland View is very rewarding and my team and I strive to create menus that residents love. I meet every new resident to learn about their dietary needs, likes and dislikes. I love creating meals for special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas.
Meal times at Woodland View should feel like a family gathering and I aim to provide delicious food to make the experience wonderful.
