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
Personalised Menu!
We like to make sure that our residents get to enjoy the food that they want - here is a picture of our head chef serving one of our residents her choice for the day! We encourage residents to make their own menu.
Afternoon Tea
Our residents enjoyed a range of cakes alongside their afternoon tea. Relatives and members of the community also came in to enjoy the sweet treats!
International Hat Day
This year, on international hat day our residents made their own origami hats!! They were worn while enjoying entertainment by 'Music with Claire'.
Board Games
During these cold and wet afternoons, our residents often enjoy chilling with a board game. They can challenge their mind while enjoying the company of other residents in the home.

Woodland View has weekly movement to music classes where the residents can dance along to some classic tunes - staff enjoy joining in as well!
Singing Club
Our residents at Woodland View have started their own singing club, where one of our residents plays the Ukulele. Everybody enjoys this weekly musical meeting!
