Despite all these issues the staff are excellent with her. They are caring, patient and bend over backwards to give her all the assistance she needs.
Her bedroom is a comfortable reasonable size and kept clean and tidy by the staff.
The communal areas are pleasant clean and tidy. There is a good range of activities for residents.
The gardens surrounding the home are well kept. My mother regularly likes me to walk round the gardens with her they are so colourful most of the year.

My mother in law, who has a number of issues around incontinence, forgetfulness, hearing and sight loss, has been a resident at Eothen since February 2024. I have nothing but respect for all of the staff - the carers are wonderful. The building and public areas are bright, clean and welcoming. Her room is spacious and homely. I would thoroughly recommend Eothen.

Our mum moved to Eothen in Gosforth in August 2026, aged 89. She had had a ten week stay in hospital and was unable to manage at home any longer. From the very first visit, we were impressed with the caring staff and the high quality of environment. There is a real home from home ethos and that has been borne out in our experience since. Our mother's care has been exemplary. She is treated as an individual with courtesy, warmth and attention to detail. Nothing is too much trouble. There is excellent stimulation daily - mornings and afternoons. Meals and snacks are all prepared at the home and are really lovely. The gardens are beautifully kept to sit in on warmer days and our mum has been on several visits out with staff. Mum's room is beautiful and has been personalised with things from her home. The GP, nurse, hairdresser and chiropodist come regularly. We are so happy she is safe and happy and so well cared for. I recommend Eothen wholeheartedly.

The Tiki evening was a HUGE hit, Dad had great fun and it really settled him in properly. He has been taken out to a place that was of special interest to him, him alone really, so the staff really go above and beyond for residents. I know he's well looked after, listened to and the food is great too. SO grateful to all the staff for so many things.

Greeted with genuine actions. Was taken to where my friend was. We then were offered a small sitting room for our meeting. Offered coffee when they determined I had travelled on two busses and the metro. Had lovely meeting and was invited to have lunch. Met several ladies and had super meal and good company. EXCELLENT

My Mum has now been in Eothen in Gosforth for 9 months and I feel that I have had sufficient time to judge her experience. I was probably like most people, a little apprehensive about her arrival there but I had no need to be. Over the last 9 months every aspect of her time there has been significantly beyond my expectations. Before my Mum moved in we were looking around and one of the visiting relatives said to us what a fantastic place it is - how right they were. If I were to single out one thing it would be the staff who are outstanding. My Mum lived by herself before Eothen and life in the family was a day to day worry, this dissipated when she moved in as she has been receiving such attentive care. I am just so thankful that my Mum is in Eothen and echo the sentiments that we heard when looking around - what a fantastic place.
I could not wish for my mum to be in a better care home. She is so well looked after. All the staff are kind, considerate and even in difficult situations I have witnessed how they handle residents with respect and dignity. Can't recommend Eothen highly enough.

The wrap around support connecting to doctors etc, despite him relocating from outside the area has all been handled by Eothen, which was super helpful too.
Many thanks to all the Eothen team

The home is relaxed and cosy. Recent refurbishments have added to the comfortable atmosphere. Being able to independently make a drink and have the option of different lounges to sit in and chat with my friend is greatly appreciated.
Activities for the residents are varied, entertaining and well organised. The gardens are beautiful and a pleasure to sit out in on a sunny day.
From the minute I walked into this care home I felt such a positive vibe and after our short tour I knew I wanted my mum to come here after her long hospital stay. It is a daunting move from home to a care home but this home ensures mum still has her independence. The staff are consistently...
The whole place is immaculate, the gardens are stunning and beautifully kept. It's lovely to be able to come in and have a cup of tea and a piece of homemade cake. It is clear the staff work as a team. We and mum could not be happier with our choice!
I always feel that my father is getting the best care at Eothen Gosforth. All the staff are friendly and have the residents best interests at heart. My father really enjoys the meals provided and also enjoys the varied activities available. He particularly enjoys the day trips out.

The staff are highly committed and caring and did everything possible to make my mother welcome: everyone seemed to know her (and us) immediately. Because the home is very relaxed, she has retained a sense of her independence while enjoying a wider range of activities and social interaction than before.
The building is cosy and my Mum has enjoyed getting out in the gardens every day with a member of staff.
She feels at home.

She enjoys the choices of food.
I am delighted with the refurbishment carried to the building and particularly enjoy being able to have a cup of coffee with her in the Dining / Lounge rather that sitting on her bed in her room.
I find the staff and managers very approachable and friendly whenever I visit
Following a fall and a stay in hospital, it became clear that my Mam was no longer safe to return to her own home. Finding a care home is a daunting experience, as it's such an important responsibility to choose somewhere she will be safe, happy and well cared for.

Following a fall and a stay in hospital, it became clear that my Mam was no longer safe to return to her own home. Finding a care home is a daunting experience, as it's such an important responsibility to choose somewhere she will be safe, happy and well cared for.
From my very first visit, I knew I had found the right place.
She has settled in incredibly well and regularly tells me how happy she is. Her room is comfortable, there's a timetable of activities she can join in with if she wishes, and the food is lovely. The staff are all wonderful - kind, supportive and genuinely caring.
I now have peace of mind knowing she is in a safe and nurturing environment, and I'm very grateful for the excellent care she receives at Eothen Home (Gosforth)
Mother-in-Law has very recently moved into Eothen. Her transfer from a Rehab centre was managed very efficiently with her being made to feel comfortable and welcomed. She is settling in very well which is such a relieve for all of the family. The home is clean and warm. The staff are absolutely...
I popped in today (16.12.25) and caught the last part of their Christmas party. The effort made by staff was absolutely outstanding! They were all dressed up, and involved the residents in various activities. It felt like a family party and the residents loved it! It was so nice to see MiL laughing and smiling - she really enjoyed the afternoon. She told me the Christmas lunch was beautiful.
Thank you Team Eothen (Gosforth) - you are all doing an amazing job!
I want to end up in a care home just like this one, the staff are excellent, friendly caring and go above and beyond every single day couldn't say a negative thing about any of them. My father in law is extremely happy there.
