Meet The Manager
Monica Boldeata is Home Manager at Colne View.
Working my way from General Nurse through to my newly appointed role as Home Manager at Colne View. Having previously been at Colne View as Deputy Manager, I am looking forward to getting to know the staff and residents once again and the new opportunities that lie ahead.
My favourite part of the day is when I get to chat with residents, relatives and colleagues. I am very passionate about delivering person-centered care, every member of the team brings something different and supporting them to achieve their potential is important to me.
Colne View is a purpose-built care home offering a range of high-quality services, from residential and nursing care to respite care. The team also offer supportive palliative and end-of-life care.
Situated in the charming town of Halstead, the home offers a range of facilities, including en-suite bedrooms, a retro kitchen, a coffee shop, an in-house cinema and a hair salon. With quality furnishings and tasteful décor, the home has a lively atmosphere with a homely, comfortable and secure feel.
At Colne View, the friendly, compassionate team delivers care that is centred on the individual. Residents are involved in all aspects of their care so they can continue to feel valued and enjoy living as independently as possible.
