About Fona Godema

Fona Godema is a home care agency in Basildon, supporting people in their own homes across this part of Essex. We work with older people, people living with dementia, people living with mental ill health, adults with a physical disability and younger adults. Almost everyone who contacts us wants to stay where they are, and the question is really what it would take to make that workable. For some people the answer is modest, a single morning call to help with washing and dressing and getting the day going. For others it is several visits a day covering personal care, medication, meals and company, or a longer sit so a family carer can have a few hours to themselves. We start by asking what help is actually wanted. People are usually very clear about what they can still manage and would rather keep doing for themselves, and respecting that is as much the job as the tasks we take on. Care plans follow that conversation rather than a standard form, and we review them properly when circumstances change. Continuity is where we put our effort. A familiar carer who knows the house, the routine and the person makes a visit work in a way that a stranger cannot, and it matters most where dementia or poor mental health are involved. We keep families informed where the person wants that, and we raise concerns early rather than waiting. Please ring us if you would like to talk things through.
