Cannot say enough to praise this home, my wife was a resident there for 18 months, the care and attention she received was outstanding.
All the staff are very caring, helpful and friendly to my wife and me, they are always smiling. The home has a nice atmosphere, which you notice immediately, staff
interact well with residents, truly a home from home.
The support that I received from staff was unbelievable, they felt like family, miss them all and will never forget them.
Thanks once again.

My Dad has been at the nursing home for three years and during that time he was given outstanding care. The staff were compassionate towards him, made him comfortable and catered to his every need. My Dad was very happy and content in their care. The management and staff were professional and adherent
to my Dad's needs in a very caring and dignified way. I was made to feel very welcome, supported and nothing was too much trouble. The nursing home is kept very clean and secure.

Goldenhill Nursing Home is exactly what it says - a golden, beautiful, caring and nursing home. My mum resided there for 5 months as a palliative patient/resident. Mum sadly passed last month, but I can honestly say that I have never known such love and support shown to Mum as from the staff at Goldenhill.
They showered my mum with love and understanding and welcomed the whole family into their family. Mum passed so peacefully all due to the care and attention of the amazing nurses and carers. The nursing knowledge is second to none. They don't miss anything. They gently guided us through the last few days and gave us precious time with our mum. I would not allow any loved ones to reside anywhere else. We will never be able to thank the team enough. The manager and the owners are truly amazing too - they look at every staff member, resident and their families as their own family. They know everyone by name, feed the residents' families and offer immense support.

Thanks, does not seem enough for the gratitude we feel for all the staff at Goldenhill Nursing Home for the care, love and devotion shown to our loved one, and one member of staff in particular who has shown such compassion and understanding during the whole of this awful time when we are separated
from those we love. They show such empathy and kindness and keep you fully informed. Our hearts have been broken by the separation that COVID19 has caused but we are comforted in the knowledge that she is safe and cared for so well, we can ring at any time and never feel we are bothering them at a time when they are under so much pressure. Thank you all, stay safe, stay strong our eternal thanks.

Mum went into Goldenhill during the Covid-19 lockdown so we are unable to visit, but all the staff have been wonderful. They are all really caring and understanding of the difficult situation and we have been made very welcome to video call regularly and ring with any questions anytime. In Mum's words
“this is a first-class nursing home with magnificent food and lovely staff”. We feel very lucky that Mum was sent to this home. The management and all the staff have been amazing and we are very grateful for such lovely caring people to be looking after Mum. We would like to say a big thank you to you all for doing such an amazing job at this difficult time.

Staff were very good but thought the rooms were a bit poor and very small for visitors.
Didn't feel like my nan had much attention; as every time I visited my nan during her short stay, she was found in the same position, and I visited every day while she was there.

I have always found Goldenhill Nursing Home to be a very caring, friendly establishment with a nursing/care team second to none. The staff go out of their way to take the utmost of care with the residents treating them with dignity they all deserve and nothing seems too much for them. The management
and staff are there for the families as well making the home seem very "homely". I must also add that the home is kept in a very clean condition without the odours you sometimes get in some care homes.

Mum was diagnosed with a terminal illness in July 2019, hence she needed specialist care which was provided for at Goldenhill Nursing Home.
Such a homely place, Mum was pleased to be a resident here. No limit on visiting any time day or night (if needed).
All the staff were professional, also friendly
and caring.
Mum enjoyed the variety of services which are available to all residents. We thank the home for all their support that was given to our family during this difficult time.

Our mother came to this home from another home who were unable to meet her needs. Since she has been here she has thrived. We are a large hands-on family and cannot fault the care and compassion shown to our dear mum. She is eating a lovely varied menu and is socialising with other clients. The home
and I don't use this loosely is very much a home and nothing is too much trouble. We are all so very pleased and can't thank all the staff enough.

I cannot fault the home at all. It is a real home from home, and I feel, for the residents. A really good atmosphere always on entering. The staff from the manager down are all very good indeed. I have no concerns whatsoever for my mum who has been a resident at Goldenhill Nursing Home for just over
three years now. I never score excellent though as there is always room for improvement in any organisation I feel.

My mother spent the last 6 months of her life at Goldenhill Nursing Home. The home is bright and welcoming with all the facilities that one would expect from a modern day nursing home. However, the care that she received was exceptional. All of the staff were so caring and professional throughout her
stay. Nothing was ever too much trouble for the staff and I know that my mother was extremely happy and comfortable during her stay there.
I would not hesitate to recommend this nursing home.

This nursing home is friendly, homely and professional. On my first visit to view the place, I was shown around by one of the staff who had never shown anyone around before. Her attitude, friendliness and knowledge of the home made me feel at ease immediately. Mum only spent a few weeks here (after
being neglected in a previous home for four weeks before) and I can say that they made her end of life care the best possible.
We were extremely nervous about leaving her in another nursing home after the previous experience but the staff and management soon put our minds to rest. Nothing was too much trouble for them.
We could visit at any time and there was always staff there that knew of mum's day, what meals she had eaten etc. In the room, their 'log' book was meticulously filled in every day with all aspects of mum's care.
I can only say, go and see them, don't read too much into CQC reports. This home should be 'outstanding'
P.S. the food was excellent, all home cooked.

My family and I have been very pleased with the exceptional care my mother has received since being admitted to Goldenhill Nursing Home. Since her arrival about two months ago, she has settled in very quickly and feels comfortable and content. Her medical, physical, dietary and psychological needs
are all being fully met and the careers, nurses and management team go the extra mile to make sure my mother and her fellow patients are well looked after and treated with respect, dignity and great consideration everyday with the aim of making the Nursing Home as near as possible to a second home for everyone. We should like to thank everyone for all their hard work, patience and caring attitude.

Well, what can I say because words can not truly express how we feel about Goldenhill Nursing Home. In a nutshell, it was "brilliant in every way from the start of our journey which started in May 2017, from when our adorable sister moved into the home right up until she sadly passed away and also beyond.

Our Aunt had been a resident here for 4 months. She settled in quickly because everybody works really hard to treat everyone as an individual and talk to them.
We do not live near and when we visited, we came for hours. We always felt welcome and never felt we were in the way. The manager and staff
always made themselves available to talk to us.
The food is wholesome and varied, the home is lovely and clean. Activities like bingo, singing and card games were very much enjoyed by our Aunt.
If you get the chance take up a place here.
Our Aunt died recently peacefully at this home and we were helped very sensitively to come to terms with this.
It's hard to pass the care of a loved relative to strangers even when you know it's the best thing for them. All the staff at Goldenhill help to make this as easy as possible.
Thank you to everyone connected with this home.

For the last three months, my sister has been a resident at Goldenhill Nursing Home receiving palliative care. It is a caring, compassionate and welcoming place with a good atmosphere where you can feel reassured that your relative is being safely looked after with excellent medical and physical support
to help them through their daily health struggles - a massive plus which gives relatives peace of mind.
Management and staff are really friendly and approachable both to my sister and her family when they visit. They act immediately on any changes regarding her deteriorating health to keep her comfortable.
All meals are excellent with plenty of choices. Residents can have their own televisions, photos and mementoes in their own rooms to personalise them and make them feel homely. Activities are on offer indoors and outdoors (inc. Fairs, BBQ's and Concerts) and residents and their visitors are encouraged to join in. Wi-Fi, Hairdressing and Chiropody services are available on-site.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.090)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.090) out of 10 for Goldenhill Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.838 for Goldenhill Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (57 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 68 Ratings = 4.838
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.252 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Goldenhill Nursing Home is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 = 3.6
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.2 = 0.652
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
