Over all time Eastwood House has 26 reviews.
Care home staff and management are very friendly, efficient and very caring to residents. Always happy to help and answer any queries or concerns relating to Mum.
My mother has been cared for at this home for over five years. They have been looked after from day one with extreme care, compassion and patience. They were fantastic with all residents during the pandemic and kept all families informed of any changes. The staff are fantastic and really care, which is very rare.
Since my mother has been here, she has been treated with care and respect in a professional way. Very attentive. Now she has settled in, she thinks of it as "home" or on "holiday".
As a friend of a resident and not a family member, it's very difficult for me to push forward with my concerns regarding care. But, thankfully, the lovely staff have taken time to listen to me and have made plans to make his care personalised as much as possible. Thank you for listening to my worries and concerns regarding the lack of care from the council. It has no reflection on his care at Eastwood House whatsoever. Keep up the good work and thank you for listening to me. I know you all care.
I would like to thank all staff at Eastwood House care home, Rotherham, for their professionalism and compassion in caring for my dad who sadly past away on 02/05/20. All through his time at the care home, they showed love and respect to him. Nothing was too much trouble, they kept me in touch at all times, many thanks.
At first, I didn't want my mum in any care home but when I got to know the staff at Eastwood House and I knew my mum was safe, she settled in fine. The staff are lovely and caring and good at their job I take my hat off to them all. The food is good I always ask my mum what she has had. I know they all get fed properly. All the residents look clean and got clean clothes on. The staff raise money to take residents out on trips which is great. I would recommend Eastwood House to anybody looking to put a loved one in a care home.
