Goole Hall offers a full range of residential care services, including long-term care, respite stays, convalescent and day care, as well as specialist support for those living with dementia. We also provide palliative care and couples’ accommodation, ensuring comfort and continuity for every resident.
The home provides care and accommodation for up to 28 residents. This smaller size allows our team to get to know everyone personally, creating a friendly, family-like atmosphere where residents feel valued and at home.
Many of our rooms include ensuite facilities, and we also offer spacious double rooms designed for couples who wish to remain together. Each room is furnished to a high standard, and residents are encouraged to personalise their space with favourite items and keepsakes.
All meals are freshly prepared on-site by our talented cooks, using quality ingredients to create delicious, nutritious dishes. Menus are varied and can be adapted to individual dietary needs or preferences, with residents free to dine in the communal dining room or in their own room if they prefer.
Change in routine or any kind of upheaval can be distressing for care home residents. In the event that their needs change, care pathways are available - this is a term used to describe care homes that provide a combination of residential, nursing and dementia care. By offering this, residents can remain at the same home without having to relocate even if their needs change.
Every new resident to the care home will be assessed to ensure they receive the right type of care catered to their individual needs. Following this, a care plan will be created which sets out how the staff at the home will meet those needs for a comfortable stay. Care plans are typically reviewed on a monthly basis and are updated in the event there are any changes
Being surrounded by items from home can allow new residents to feel more comfortable and settled. At Devonshire care we welcome small items of furniture - such as a favourite armchair - and other treasured belongings - including photographs - so residents can personalise their rooms. All electrical items will be PAT tested and furniture will undergo a fire risk assessment to protect the safety of our residents and staff.
If you are paying for your care home fees yourself (otherwise known as ‘self-funding’), then you will continue to receive your State Pension as usual. If you receive monetary support from your local authority, then your State Pension will be considered income and taken into consideration when calculating how much you need to contribute towards the care home costs. This will also factor in a weekly income that you will receive, also known as ‘Personal Expenses Allowance (PEA)’.
Our dedicated activities coordinator plans a varied programme that includes arts and crafts, gentle exercise, music sessions, quiz nights, and regular outings to local attractions and shops in Goole. Family and friends are always welcome to join in with events and celebrations.
Yes, residents can usually remain registered with their existing GP if they are within the local catchment area. If this isn’t possible, our team will assist in arranging a new GP and ensure all medical needs are well supported from the moment of admission.

This is a free assessment carried out by local authorities to establish what type of care and support a person needs. Based on the findings, they can provide recommendations on how this care must be provided so that plans can be made accordingly.
If you find that your money starts to run out while living in a care home, you will need to arrange a care needs assessment and a financial assessment with your local authority immediately, as you may be eligible for some financial assistance. Likewise, if your loved one who is a resident in a care home finds themselves in this situation, make sure you support them in arranging the appropriate assessments if they are unable to do so.
