About Woodland View
Woodland View is a nursing home in Colchester, Essex. We care for older people who need qualified nursing alongside everyday support, for residents living with dementia, for people with physical disabilities and for younger adults with nursing needs. We also offer respite stays. Registered nurses are on duty here at all hours. That is what allows wounds, medication, pain relief, continence, long term conditions and end of life care to be managed on site, and it means changes in a resident's health are noticed and acted on quickly rather than left until the next appointment. We work alongside GPs, community specialists and hospital teams so decisions get made calmly and in good time, and people do not have to move on as their needs increase. We try hard to keep the place feeling like a home rather than a ward. Residents choose when to get up, what to eat, where to sit and how much company they want, and rooms are furnished with their own belongings. Visitors are welcome without appointment. For residents living with dementia, familiar surroundings and consistent staffing do most of the work, and we take time to understand what sits behind distress rather than simply managing it. The Care Quality Commission rated us good overall at our most recent inspection. Please arrange to come and look round.
