Activities at Woodland View
Woodland View is passionately committed to providing residents with a varied choice of entertainment, social, health and well being, craft and relaxation based activities.
Activities will all be meaningful and based on the likes of residents and will continue to evolve depending on our residents. The activities provided will also include involvement from other local community based organisations and are open to all residents, family and friends of residents. Our activities will be facilitated by staff from all departments as well as invited guests. Families are also enthusiastically encouraged to play a part in activities when possible.
There will always be at least one person at every activity who has been DBS checked to ensure the safeguarding of our residents. The dignity of our residents and our respect for them is at the centre of everything we do, each and every day.
We are always reviewing and changing our schedule of activities to be a centre of excellence and actively invite feedback and suggestions for new and meaningful activities and ideas.
Petra Hardman
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, and finding out what interests they have and ensure 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 to one time to relax and reminisce.

Life at Woodland View Care Home
Easter Sunday at Woodland View
The Easter Bunny Visited our residents at Woodland View today! The Bunny went round to see every resident and take them an Easter egg and share some Easter cheer!! A big thank you to Peter Dutch who very kindly donated Easter Eggs for our residents during this difficult time.
Easter Cards
We have been very busy here at Woodland View, in the lead up to Easter. This year, our residents have been making Easter Cards for their families and friends and they are going out in the post this week. As this year is different to many, with our residents unable to see their families over the Easter Weekend, we will be doing lots of fun activities and ensure that all residents are able to speak to their families over the phone or skype.
Enjoying a Cuppa in the Sunshine
While the weather is bright and sunny we decided to make good use of our internal gardens by taking a cup of tea outside into the sunshine. As we are unable to do trips out of the home at present due to the current restrictions, we are very lucky to be able to make the most of the beautiful gardens available at our home.
Rainbows and Best Wishes
Here at Woodland View we are keeping positive and sending out love and support out to those in the community. We have made rainbows and banners to share our best wishes with those working in the NHS and to everybody in the community. Residents enjoying being able to do this to share our positivity and contribute to brightening the road where we live.

Mother's Day
Staff at Woodland View worked so very hard to make this Mother's Day a special one despite restrictions. We had lots of deliveries of flowers, chocolates and cards for the Mothers here at Woodland View. We set up skype calls for residents to be able to talk to their families and see each others faces.
In the afternoon, the fantastic Karon Black offered to come to perform for the residents from outside of the home to ensure that the residents were kept safe and entertained! She performed some of our residents favourite songs completely free of charge and the residents very much enjoyed this lovely surprise.
