Care options

Four ways we care, one promise

Every resident gets an individualised care plan — these are the four shapes it takes.

For the independent

Not a nursing home

Assisted living is different

Nursing homes

Hospital-like environment
Medical focus (treatment, not lifestyle)
"Patient" terminology (clinical)
Institutional feel
Limited family involvement

Golden Hands

Home-like, residential setting
Lifestyle focus (dignity, community, engagement)
"Resident" language (you belong here)
Family atmosphere, doctor-led
Daily visits — families are part of the day

"Simply put — one of the best decisions I've ever made. I used to worry all the time if my mom had what she needed and if she was lonely. I no longer worry. I'm happy to see her smile and be active every day."

Read the full review

I am an only child that lives out of the country; my father passed away a few years ago and my mom was living alone with domestic help since. About a year ago we started looking at assisted living for my mother — Golden Hands had just opened, and we couldn't have been luckier. We were immediately embraced by the owners, the staff, the property and the approach. Other homes we saw felt very much like a business rather than a home. I asked my mom to choose which home she wanted — hoping very much she would pick Golden Hands — and she did.

Since moving in she has integrated into the community and taken a great liking to both staff and residents. Her mental and physical health has greatly improved — more than I could have imagined — entirely down to the owners and staff. The impact and involvement of the owners cannot be understated; they take care of residents with a passion. In April we were in Sri Lanka for New Year and GH hosted a fantastic event involving the residents and us, including my children. To us, the GH community is family. It's been a life changer.
