When friends and families visit Goldenley Care Home, they often comment on how ‘at home’ the residents look and feel.
This is because our team members, many of whom live locally in areas such as Benfleet, Canvey Island and Basildon, are dedicated to creating an atmosphere that is warm and friendly – supporting the residents to feel as happy, comfortable and independent as possible.
From our range of activities, developed in partnership with residents, to regular celebrations and welcoming families each day - we pride ourselves on creating a home from home, underpinned by exceptional residential, residential dementia and end of life care.
