Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother moved into Eastbury House after suffering a stroke and she has settled in extremely well. I cannot fault the care she is given. The staff are without exception kind and patient and she appears to be well looked after with all her needs met.
I am very happy with the level and quality of care
given.

My mum had a truly wonderful weeks stay, she was very happy and loved the excellent food. The staff each and every one of them are totally amazing. The love within Eastbury oozes out. Mum has said she would love to go again. I felt as her carer normally that she was 100% plus safe and extremely well
looked after in every aspect.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would have no hesitation in recommending Eastbury House.
It doesn't feel like a care home.
My mother has been looked after with compassion and expertise throughout her time there.
The staff are caring, competent and reassuring.
I always feel that my mother is in the very best of places.
There
is always an ambience of "home".
Everything possible is done to make the residents feel comfortable and part of the family.
It is simply wonderful!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.911)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.911) out of 10 for Eastbury House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.911 for Eastbury House is calculated as follows: ( (175 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.911
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Eastbury House is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
