I would like to thank the staff for the kindness and support provided to my father during his time at Goodwins Hall Nursing & Residential Care Home. This was evident throughout his time at the home but especially during the few days before he died. I also feel that the welcome provided to my mother who visited him daily and the rest of the family was genuinely inclusive. The support provided by a taxi driver linked to the house also provided valued opportunities for dad to spend some time in his own home. Many thanks to everyone.
Carers are efficient and always approachable. They are always available to assist my dad whenever he needs help moving from bed to chair. The nurses are fantastic and will anything to help. My dad was quite ill in early August and the speed with which the staff dealt with the problem was very...
Carers are efficient and always approachable. They are always available to assist my dad whenever he needs help moving from bed to chair. The nurses are fantastic and will anything to help.

The staff are highly competent, open, friendly and approachable. In some cases however, the rapid turnover of staff can lead to a failure to communicate. Overall, a highly motivated, professional team.

The coffee machine is a great idea. It gave us chance to sit quietly whilst our friend's wife was able to chat with him.
We felt his room was warm and comfortable and what a view!
We both have had relatives in good care homes and Goodwin's Hall ranked with them in every aspect.
Thank you

Hello, my name is Flavia, and I am the Home Manager at Goodwins Hall.
My journey in care began in housekeeping at our sister home, Amberley Hall. Since then, I have been fortunate to progress through a variety of roles, including Care Assistant, Team Leader, Trainer, Residential Care Manager, and now Home Manager.
Every role has helped shape my passion for providing exceptional, person-centred care.I believe every resident deserves to feel valued, respected, and truly at home. Creating a warm, supportive, and enriching environment where residents can enjoy the highest quality of life is at the heart of everything I do.
I love spending time with our residents, getting to know them and supporting them to live fulfilling and meaningful lives. I am equally passionate about supporting and developing our wonderful team. By encouraging continuous learning and leading by example, I help ensure we provide the highest standards of residential and nursing care every day.
For me, Goodwins Hall is much more than a care home—it is a family, and our residents will always be at the heart of everything I do.
