Eversley Rest Home

My 90-year-old mother initially went to Eversley Rest Home for respite care and rehabilitation following a serious fall in August 2020. The staff did everything possible to help her settle and successfully regain her mobility. In late October she decided to stay on a permanent basis, citing the "wonderful staff and the lovely food" as two good reasons for her decision. The staff are kind and caring, with nothing being too much trouble. They are highly respectful of her wishes and have taken great care to understand her as an individual, not just as she is now, but also her history and life experiences that have shaped her as a person. Recognising Mum's need to be as independent as possible, they have supported her in this goal, but are always there to help where needed. Liaison with external health services such as the GP have been excellent. Communication with myself and my brother has been timely and supportive. I would thoroughly recommend Eversley Rest Home

Mum was admitted during the covid lockdown which was stressful but appears very happy and she loves the staff. She says they are always kind to her. The deputy manager keeps us up to date with any problems by phone and email. Any problems we have are sorted quickly. They have a Facebook page to keep up to date with activities they do with the residents. The pod they have for visiting is lovely.

Although I haven’t been able to see my mum much over the last year because of the pandemic, I never have to worry about the way she is looked after and know she is in good hands. I get regular updates on her health etc, for which I am very grateful, and I would have no hesitation in recommending Eversley Rest Home to anyone looking for a home from home for their loved ones.

The staff are amazing, they take great care with the residents. I live in the states and one of the staff will FaceTime so I can see and talk to Mum. Our family are extremely happy with the care. Thank you so much.

The staff at Eversley are always pleasant, friendly and polite. The care that they have for my mum is very good, nothing is too much trouble and I am kept well informed of mums care. They always have numerous activities throughout the year, that cover special occasions, for example, Mothers Day, Easter, Burns Night, Chinese new year - to name but a few. The food always smells wonderful. The home is a clean and tidy home from home environment for the residents. You are always welcome to call at any time.

My late mother rated Eversley highly. Staff have an excellent attitude, really care about residents, and take a personal interest. They have a good rapport with family members, who are welcome at any time as well as visits from residents’ friends. The owners are responsive and open to suggestions. Efforts are made to provide a range of activities including opportunities involving families. There is good access to GPs and other healthcare. Good home-cooked lunches but evening teas could be nutritionally better balanced. Many of the facilities are good or excellent but more lavatories are needed in the main hub of the building. Residents with mobility difficulties are well supported although the upper floor (in the old part of the building) is not suitable for them. Additional staff are needed for those residents with higher levels of need. Overall my mother was very well cared for here during the last two and a half years of her life and we were confident that she was well looked after.

Excellent staff are attentive, caring, nothing is too much trouble. Caring and respect, dignity. Very comfortable.

My sister and I had visited many care homes looking for somewhere for our 97-year-old mother. The moment we walked into Eversley Care Home we knew we had found the right place for her. The standard of the rooms is excellent. She has a walk-in wet room, all finished to a high standard. They have three lounge areas, one of which is used as a designated area for residents and visiting relatives, overlooking the garden with outside seating area. Our mother became a resident on 21 June '19. With the help of the events co-ordinator she now knits, bakes, flower arranges, etc, her quality of life has improved beyond our expected dreams. In addition, the staff are delightful and always available to help in any way.
