The manager has gone above and beyond to help us at a tricky and stressful time and given us advise and guidence and taken a lot off of our mind.
Beautiful home and wonderful food.

Thank you so much for your kind words, your mum has settled so well into life at Eastbury House, it's lovely to have her around, she has such a positive and cheery manner and she certainly brightens our mornings when she passes the office!

I have found the home in question to be well-run and managed. The staff are friendly, helpful and always polite but most importantly of all are very caring and kind and incredibly patient. The food is home-made and the garden is lovely. Although individual tastes vary, for my mother the home itself is good too, as it is characterful, being a listed building.
Thank you so much for your review - and for your ongoing support, we are lucky to have such wonderful friends and family reminding our staff that their work is so valued (I always share reviews with them and I know it makes a difference!)
A lovely, friendly care home which definitely feels like home from home. The staff are all very kind and friendly and the residents are very well looked after. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking for somewhere.

My father has been here since February and I am so pleased we managed to find him a room here, they are all wonderful and he is thriving. He came from hospital and was very poorly and he is now able to dress himself and is so much more independent. The staff are so kind and have so much empathy.

I have had the pleasure of visiting Eastbury House for years and I can honestly say I don't know anywhere else like it. The home from home feel is really special. Wonderful staff who care and are attentive to the residents needs. The food is wholesome home cooked meals and I have enjoyed many a yummy cake in the afternoons. The gorgeous walled garden is stunning and it's lovely to see residents enjoy it. I have joined in a couple of the activities which has been a joy and they keep is varied with something for everyone. The location is very close to the main high street. Management are really good at asking for resident feedback, listening and implementing any changes. The manager and deputy manager have a lot of experience at Eastbury House in various roles before coming into management positions and this really is an asset - they are hands on and engaged. I hope to continue visiting the house for years to come, always leave with a smile on my face.

Eastbury House is run by a warm, kind and helpful team. The residents are happy, well-dressed and are treated with dignity and respect. The old house, which has many original features, is tastefully furnished and decorated; it smells fresh and clean, yet feels cosy, and it has a happy, feel-good...
There is a full timetable of daily activities. Residents choose their meals every day from a delicious menu with plenty of choices. There are several vases of fresh flowers including on the dining tables, often picked from the delightful large walled garden which has a summer house, a seating area and even a vegetable patch! Mum has a large room with two windows and a new carpet. She loves to care for her collection of plants and she has plenty of room for visitors to sit and enjoy a cup of tea with her.
Thank you so much for your kind words, it really means a lot to all of the staff to receive such lovely feedback.
We have a lot of confidence in Eastbury House. So important when we live 2-3 hours away.

Thank you for your kind words. I should say your dad makes it very easy for us!

Having stayed for a couple of respite visits, my mum has now been a full-time resident for the past year. I can not fault the care, staff, activities and food. It really feels like a home rather than an institution, and as it is small, this means there is personal care and attention. I would highly recommend it and have done so already on many occasions.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review; I'm glad you find Eastbury House like a home, and hope you will always feel welcome here.
I have also been impressed by the care and concern given to myself, and the support I have received when I visit.

I have also been impressed by the care and concern given to myself, and the support I have received when I visit.
The food is all fresh and the meals are nutritious and tasty with a choice of courses.
The place feels, as much as it is possible, like a home from home.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review, we particularly love that you feel at home here. Thanks again.
I have known Eastbury House for many years. What always continues to strike me is the friendly homely atmosphere. All the staff are so welcoming, happy and professional. I can’t speak highly enough of the home and will continue to recommend it.

Eastbury House provided a wonderful home and an outstanding quality of care for my mother for the last ten years of her life. This truly is an exceptional place with wonderful cheerful staff who put a great deal of effort into creating a homely non-institutional atmosphere and into getting to know the residents and to ensuring that all aspects of their lives are as good as they can possibly be. Very good home-cooked food with a lot of choice, along with a beautiful garden and lots of activities and outings tailored to residents' individual interests all add to the quality of the service that they provide. As my mother's care requirements increased and she finally became completely bedbound and dependent on assistance with all her basic needs they looked after her with great sensitivity, providing a familiar reassuring home for her until the end.
Thank you so much for these words - we all have so many anecdotes and memories of time spent with your mother we feel incredibly lucky to have known her.
