Overton House - Care Home

I feel so much better knowing that my mum is in a safe caring environment with lovely staff, who get to know the residents as individuals.

My mother has lived at Overton House for about 6 weeks now and appears very happy. She has told me that they have a lot of fun, and is really enjoying the social events. All the staff are lovely, very friendly and helpful. She has also commented on the large amount of food on offer, which she seems to be enjoying. Can't thank everyone enough for making her, and myself so welcome.

My Father was a resident at Overton House for 11 months. He had several health issues and dementia. I can't ever express fully how grateful I am for the care and compassion shown to him during his stay. The rooms and common areas are bright, clean and comfortable. The staff are professional, knowledgeable and supportive, towards both their clients and their families. They make a huge effort to keep the people in their care stimulated and busy. They organise activities and special events on a regular basis. Residents in the home are always treated as individuals. staff use their name when interacting with them, not generic dear, lovely etc. My father was treated with respect and dignity. I would recommend Overton House to anyone looking for residential care.

A big thank you to all your dedicated staff.

I visited my friend's mum yesterday. Upon arrival until I left the atmosphere in the home was lovely. All the staff are very happy, friendly and attentive. I spoke to the lady at the reception who was very welcoming and really seemed to care about the residents. All in all, I would thoroughly recommend Overton House, all the staff are a credit to the manager who is also dedicated to the home and its residents.

I visit a long-time friend of mine on a regular basis and, whilst it pains me greatly to see the manner in which his condition has treated him, the support and understanding of the friendly staff have proved invaluable. Despite the challenging circumstances at times, the care staff address changing circumstances without fuss and with a smile. Reception staff are always welcoming and, though you would imagine their role as largely administrative, they are clearly very familiar with the residents and take time to know them.

Thank you to all the team.

My husband has been in Overton House since early April 2024. He has Alzheimer's and challenging behaviour. I realised that I was not going to be able to look after him at home for much longer and started looking at care homes. I felt comfortable and welcomed at Overton from the first visit but there were no vacancies. In the meantime, things deteriorated and my husband had to go into care in another home as an emergency. As soon as a vacancy became available he was moved to Overton. This is a lovely home-from-home, the staff are caring and attentive, and they make you feel welcome. They have had to deal with my husband's challenging behaviour and they do it all with a smile on their faces. My husband is starting to settle down somewhat now and I feel that he is in safe and capable hands. The building it is roomy and airy and pleasant to be in, with a family atmosphere around the place. The staff work so hard, I can only applaud them for their hard work and tenacity. Thank you.

Mum has been at Overton for about 4 years, and after some initial hiccups as to be expected, Mum settled well, although now not able to mobilise without hoisting and wheelchair the staff is wonderful they explain exactly what they are doing for Mum so she is aware of what is happening to her and gives her reassurance, she always gives them a smile which tells me she is ok with this. The home keeps me and my brother informed of what is happening regarding Mum's care. The manager and staff do a brilliant job and I know Mum is in good hands, they all deserve a medal (and a pay rise) for the work they do in caring for the residents.

We are also encouraged to personalise her room so looking forward to adding a few extras of her choice.

Living in Elloughton, my Mum was some 60 miles away in Leeds and suffering from advanced dementia and unable to properly look after herself. It was clearly evident the only solution was to bring her over to East Yorkshire where she could be looked after properly. After looking at a number of care homes it was clearly evident that Overton House was our first choice. Right from the first time we visited, the manager and the staff made us very welcome and showed us around the excellent facilities that were in place. My Mum received first-class caring care from all the staff, nothing was too much bother, and she was made welcome from the first day she arrived. The food provided was of good quality, and the staff ensured she received her medication daily. My mum was treated with dignity at all times and her personal welfare was a priority at all times. We have been kept up to date at all times regarding her health, and staff make us welcome whatever time of day we visit.

My mother-in-law through her Alzheimer’s was very difficult in her own home however once she had adjusted to her new surroundings and with the help of all the staff she became more relaxed and enjoyed the company of others around her. My husband and I found from our very first visit, to take a look around the home, that the staff went out of their way to help and accommodate all of my mother-in-law's needs and everyone always spoke to us. This was the same throughout the 3 years she spent at Overton and even now after her passing they still welcome us. They celebrate all festivals and special occasions and engage residents in crafts, baking etc. Afternoon teas, Coronation day party. Everyone works hard for all their residents and we really appreciated this.

My mother has been in Overton House now since January 2020 and we have been very grateful to all the staff who go out of their way to help her. I live in Peterborough, and it is reassuring to know that the manager and her team are always willing to let me speak to her on the phone in between visits. The Reception Staff are first rate. We are very lucky to have got her in to Overton House when she can get the best of care for her condition.

Treat my mum really well and she seems happy. Lovely staff. All needs seem to be taken care of. Quite responsive to queries. Medical needs taken care of. Home is quite clean. Visits are easy. Thank you for looking after her.

I feel the residents are safe and always look clean and tidy.

My mum has been at Overton for around three years now. She has always been well cared for and seems happy. The staff are always friendly and look after her very well. The team have given her excellent care and always keeps us updated on any health problems.

My mother has severe incapacitating dementia and is totally reliant on the care and welfare provided by the brilliant staff. I fully trust them to continue to provide what is turning into end of life care. Thank you for all you have done for her in the last ten years.

Very friendly and attentive staff. As a visitor I always feel welcomed. I have no doubt that my grandma is in safe and capable hands. They also provide regular entertainment for the residents, and host numerous raffles that I will one day win. Mark my words.

Very caring home. My wife has been in nine years. Always welcoming when I go. Always nice and clean in bedrooms and corridors, food seems to be good quality, and staff very friendly. I’m always notified straight away if any problems with my wife.

Always friendly and willing staff. My mum is well cared for both physically and medically, and her environment is spotlessly clean and comfortable. She is in the best place possible, and her needs are fulfilled with dignity.
