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
The Manning Tree
Thursday afternoon brought the residents of Woodland View out to our local town of Manningtree, Tendring, which lies on the River Stour. We all went for a walk alongside the wall of the river, looking at all the boats go sailing by, then devoured an ice cream followed by hot chocolate that was enjoyed by all.
Some of the trips that Woodland View can offer, watch out for the next trip in the forthcoming weeks!
Keeping their Eyes on the Ball.... Lots of them!
Woodland View residents enjoyed a lovely afternoon visiting our local golf club 'Play golf, Colchester'. An enjoyable afternoon spent watching golfers practicing on the driving range also speaking to our local golf members of the club; we then enjoyed the hospitality of the restaurant. An afternoon with a lovely hot chocolate and a homemade piece of cake was enjoyed by all! Bowls last week, golf this week, what will it be next week?!
