My mother enjoyed her 2-week stay at Eastbury House. She enjoyed her meals and being able to dine with the other residents. She also enjoyed the activities, especially the quizzes. She had tea in the garden when the weather allowed and says that she made some nice new friends. She was well looked after and was able to take the opportunity of having her hair done and her feet attended to by the chiropodist. She looks forward to returning again soon.

My father joined Eastbury House in the height of lockdown due to very sad and unexpected circumstances. Even though Eastbury House were under extreme pressure with covid and lockdown, every member of staff was professional, caring and friendly. Now, 2 years on, dad is settled and happy. I take my hat off to the team at Eastbury House, as all have helped deal with my emotional journey too! Thank you, each and every one of you.

Eastbury House is a very special place, like home from home. The house is wonderfully old, eccentric, and charming, like most of the residents! The staff are extremely friendly and respectful, listening to the residents properly and treating them as individuals and equals. I feel that my mum has become part of the family there. She likes the home-cooked food and the fact that she can have a drink before dinner, and it is served at a reasonable time (a couple of other care homes we looked at were serving the evening meal as early as 5 or 5.30pm). There is a slight lack of communal space but this is currently being addressed. Now the restrictions are lifting there are more visits and outings, and more activities happening.
Put simply, the staff cared.

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.
It doesn't feel like a care home.

The staff are caring, competent and reassuring.
