What services does the Gouldings Resource Centre provide?
The Gouldings Resource Centre, managed by the Isle of Wight Council, is purpose built site providing short-term support to help individuals regain independence after illness or injury, as well as welcoming planned short stays.
Our experienced and professional team work towards developing supportive working relationships with our clients, encouraging them to build up and maintain their confidence and self-esteem, and support and empower individuals to promote their independence in a relaxed, social environment.
We also work closely with health and social care professionals who will visit on a regular basis or will make visits by arrangement. These include local GP’s and the District Nurses. The Gouldings provides services and support 24 hours a day seven days a week throughout the year.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspected The Gouldings in August 2021 and rated the service as ‘good’.
Refurbished in 2024, The Gouldings has 23 modern, ensuite bedrooms spread over three floors, with all being serviced by both stairs and a lift.
Nutritionally balanced meals are freshly prepared and cooked on site daily, reflecting each individual’s likes, dislikes and dietary needs.
Our dedicated Activities Coordinator leads a variety of engaging and social sessions, with the Therapy Team also running exercise classes and independence improvement sessions.
Visitors are welcome at the Gouldings and encouraged regularly.
