About Gordena Care Home

Gordena Care Home is a residential home in South Gloucestershire, on the edge of Bristol. We support older people, adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people living with mental ill health and younger adults, and we offer both permanent places and respite stays. Because the people who live here need quite different things, we are careful to be specific. For an older resident that may mean unhurried help with personal care, safe support with moving about, medication given properly and somebody nearby at night, and for those living with dementia it means keeping the day recognisable and the same familiar staff around. For an adult with a learning disability or an autistic adult it may mean a predictable routine, clear information given in good time, and support to manage money, appointments and getting out to a job or a course. For somebody living with mental ill health it may mean a settled, low pressure place to live and close work with the community mental health team. We try to keep the house feeling like a home. Food is cooked here and people are asked what they would like, there is somewhere sociable and somewhere quiet, and nobody is required to join in. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please arrange to visit and see for yourself.
