Meet The Manager
Tanya Allen is Manager at Goldielea Care Home.
I am lucky to be the home manager at Goldielea Care Home, situated in a beautiful location, with amazing views all the way round, and a stunning country home feeling.
We pride ourselves at Goldielea on providing a home away from home environment for our residents and have a dedicated team that is 100% committed to delivering high-quality, person-centered care. I look forward to seeing Goldielea grow and I am here to support the residents and staffing team as this happens.
Welcome to Goldielea Care Home in Dumfries, Scotland, where our experienced team provides holistic, person-centred care for Residents in a warm and friendly environment. Located on the outskirts of Dumfries our Grade 2 listed Home, once frequented by Scottish poet Robert Burns, is set in 10 acres of breath-taking parkland, always a marvel to enjoy.
Our Home is staffed 24-hours a day by our qualified nursing team who work alongside our care and support teams to ensure Residents have a personal care plan tailored to their needs.

Autumna has invited care providers to evidence the infection control measures they are carrying out, above and beyond those laid out by the government, in order to keep residents, staff and visitors safe.

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.
