Woodland View Care Home in Colchester

Woodland View Care Home in Colchester has been specifically designed to provide high-quality elderly care, including residential and nursing care, as well as care and support for individuals living with dementia. This brand new purpose built nursing home is located next to High Woods Country Park, which is one of Colchester's top beauty spots. The home is also directly opposite to Colchester General Hospital.

Nursing and residential care

Our residential care home provides high-quality nursing and residential care in a warm, homely and friendly environment. Our team of qualified and dedicated staff focus on the individual needs of residents and are committed to providing professional and respectful care with the resident at the heart of everything they do.

Dementia care

The home has a dedicated area which we call our Memory Lane Community. It provides first-class care for people with dementia. Within our community, memory boxes with small reminders and items such as photographs are used to help each person reminisce. Features such as adapted crockery and tableware, sensory gardens with low-risk walkways and activity kitchens also enable people to engage in life's everyday simple tasks and pleasures.

Our first-class facilities combined with our highly trained staff ensures each and every individual is given superior attention. Our 24-hour care is provided in a warm, welcoming environment, with delicious meals and varying daily activities, including a choice of therapeutic approaches. Together with our lively social calendar, this helps to stimulate people’s minds, and empower them to approach their future in a positive way.

Types of care

We always aim to deliver bespoke care to those who live at our home. We tailor our services to meet the unique requirements of each person and in a way that celebrates their individuality, whilst also helping residents to maintain as much independence as possible and treating them with dignity at all times.

Sue Astill

Hi, my name is Sue and I am the Operations Manager acting as General Manager here at Woodland View. Welcome to our website!

I started work with Barchester in 2017 as an Operations Manager and I have supported several homes since then.

Andrea Corps

Deputy Manager

I have over 15 years of experience working within the healthcare industry as a nurse, in both the private and public sector. I have worked in a variety of roles, including as both a Senior Nurse and, more recently, as an Education Facilitator, which were helpful in preparing me for my roles as Head of Community and Deputy Manager at Woodland View.

My passion for healthcare comes from a fusion of learning and development.

My commitment to caring for residents and the ability to function as an integral part of the team allows me to make a valuable contribution to the tradition of excellence at Woodland View.

Adrien Csipkar

Head of Community

I joined Woodland View in December 2017 as the Head of Community for Memory Lane. I have worked with those who are living with dementia and Huntington’s disease and have a full and clear understanding of how to support residents with these conditions. It’s a very rewarding job, but I’m only as good as the team around me, and together we are all working towards the same goals.

Valentina Niteanu

Head of Community

I joined Woodland View just before it opened in November 2015 as a Nurse, and was promoted to a Head of Community in July 2017, which is a position that I was very proud to undertake.

I have been a Nurse for over 15 years and love working at Woodland View with such a great team and a wonderful support network. I really enjoy meeting and caring for the residents and getting to learn all about them.

I'm very proud to have been given the opportunity to work at the beautiful new Barchester care home at Woodland View in Colchester. I look forward to meeting all the residents and helping them enjoy the lovely building we have here. I'm a very easy going person; always with time to listen to resident's needs. My main focus is the safety of our residents and to keep the home running smoothly as I work with a great team to make the building a home.

I enjoy a good read and music, but my greatest joy is to see happy smiling faces enjoying what they do each day.

Tansie Fitch

Hairdresser

My name is Tansie and I am a qualified hairdresser who has worked in the industry for over 32 years. I am very privileged to be given this opportunity to work at Woodland View

I am a very conscientious, bubbly and outgoing person; I love working with the elderly and have retained clients for over 25 years because they trust me to do their hair. To me, they are not just clients, but long-lasting friends.

This is a great chance to make a difference to people’s lives and to make them feel better about themselves.

Monica Turner

I love gardening and enjoy talking to the residents about how they would like the garden to look, and getting their feedback on how we can make the garden look lovely.

I also like to help out the team round the home when needed; nothing is really too much trouble for me, as I enjoy my work here at Woodland View.
