A NEW care home has had their care community officially named by the managers of High Woods Country Park.

Woodland View on Turner Road in Colchester had their care community named as Friars Grove, celebrating the location of the home next to the Country Park.

The newly named care community will help people in need of residential, nursing and dementia care when the new home opens this winter.

Mark McDonald, General Manager at Woodland View said: “Woodland View Care Home is in a fantastic location next to High Woods Country Park and we plan to make the most of this position when the new home opens in late summer.

“We will work alongside the Country Park staff to offer a range of stimulating activities as part of our activities programme.”
