Review from Margaret F (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 February 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are all lovely. They are helpful, caring, considerate and professional. Nothing is too much. The staff are always willing to carry out all tasks that are requested. My mum has been a resident at Eothen for 2 years. I know she is well cared for and in a safe environment. The only thing I would
like to see is the staff wearing their names. I know wearing a badge isn't really appropriate when moving and handling residents, however it would mean both residents and visitors would know who they are speaking to.

My 90-year-old Mum has been at Eothen, Gosforth since July, following a spell in hospital. Initially, her stay was just for respite and she was welcomed very warmly indeed. The staff were superb and quickly assessed Mum's medical needs and personal wishes. From regular doctors' visits to early morning
cups of tea, the staff have been faultless in their work. Mum has remained in this wonderful Home and continues to reap the benefits of first-class care. Thank you so much.

Our mother is now 95 years and has enjoyed the last 18 months in this wonderful care facility. The management and staff team provide a consistent, professional service which is all very much appreciated. Even the gardens and planting are beyond normal expectations. Many thanks indeed, Eothen Homes.

They are the best when it comes to taking care of residents. Their employees are highly trained and they are good in what they do. They ensure that their resident/ service user is comfortable and thereby putting them first in all they do. They are the best in hospitality.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My uncle has just recently moved into Eothen Homes. When we visited to look round the Home, we found the staff were all extremely pleasant. The interview conducted to see if my uncle was suitable to stay at Eothen Homes, was done with compassion and care. He has now been a resident for only a few weeks
and is still getting to know the ropes, but the staff have been extremely helpful in getting him settled as he was apprehensive about getting used to a new living environment. When I have had to contact the Home to ask about my uncle and any issues he has, the staff have been helpful and keen to ensure the issue is sorted.

The most impressive thing about this establishment is the impressive care given to all residents by all carers. As a son of a resident who moved in 2 months ago, it has been very reassuring - the level of quality care, consideration, and sensitivity my mother has received.

This care home is all I had hoped for and more. My mother moved into the home just before Christmas and quickly took to the social side of life in Eothen. After a while, I stopped worrying about her because I knew she was in good hands. The standard of care is exemplary. The carers are obviously well
trained but they have lovely natures as well. I am so grateful to them all.

The Manager and her fantastic, caring team have gone the extra mile in helping my aunt settle into Eothen, Gosforth home. From the moment she first arrived each of the staff has made her feel welcome and nothing is too much trouble. Her room is spacious and comfortable. The care is first class and my
aunt has settled really well in this new chapter of her life. I only have praise for the team. Many thanks.

My dad has been a resident in Eothen Home Wallsend, since the end of November. The staff have been excellent and very caring, nothing is a problem to them. It was a hard decision to make to put my dad into care, but as a family we know he is well looked after. Dad settled in without any problems which
made the transition a lot easier. We cannot thank the staff enough, they always make you feel welcome and have a smile when I visit. I would recommend this care home to anybody who is looking for somewhere to put a relative who needs care. Thank you again to all the staff for your kindness.

Very caring and hard-working staff. My mother-in-law is safe, happy, and content at Eothen House. The care home is located in a pleasant residential area. Staff make time to discuss how to support the residents and tell you how they are.

We are extremely pleased with the care that our father is receiving. The home is comfortable and welcoming and the staff are caring and competent. We are always advised of any problems promptly and they are dealt with immediately. Finding Eothen was a godsend at a difficult time in our father's life.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law has been a resident at Eothen Gosforth for coming up to 7 years now. Naturally, in the beginning, she found it difficult to settle in, giving up her home of many years, a home that she didn’t want to give up. Sadly no longer able to look after herself, or able to adjust to a live-in
carer, we took the decision to look carefully into choosing a care home in the area she knew and was familiar with. We did a lot of research into what was available in terms of surroundings, comfort, facilities, combined with friends' personal recommendations and meeting the staff who would become responsible for her. During her life at Eothen, her every need has been totally taken care of with the utmost care and consideration. She has always felt looked after cared for, with reassurance in times of doubt with understanding and compassion. I personally can not thank the wonderful staff at Eothen Gosforth enough for all that they do.

The care home has done very well to keep the residents safe during the COVID pandemic. Although naturally there have had to be restrictions in place, they have made great efforts to allow visiting to still take place, in the gazebo in Summer, and recently in the visitors booth in the lounge.

This is a caring, excellent home. The sign on entering says 'this home is full of love and laughter'. The sign is absolutely correct. Caring, good-natured and patient staff, homely comfortable surroundings and a reassuringly warm and safe atmosphere. When I'm of age, I'd love to live here. The food
and drink is plentiful and of very high quality, the staff make every effort to engage and entertain the residents, worthy of particular praise in light of the current covid situation. They keep the residents safe and reassured and both my brother and myself know our Mum is being cared for properly. How do we know? Because we visit every day and we can see how relaxed and contented she feels. She's always well turned out and looks very healthy and full of life. They provide regular entertainment, be it a 50s themed day with dancing and music or special theme days with meals from around the world. A lovely place indeed. Can't praise it highly enough.

Review from Grant M (Son of Resident) published on 9 February 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother, who is a resident, suffers from vascular dementia and is very frail, was recently admitted to hospital with an infection. She could neither eat nor drink. The prognosis from the two hospitals she was admitted to was not good and she was bed-bound, with the likely outcome being that she may
have to be admitted into nursing care. However, Eothen Gosforth offered to take her back to provide her with a recognisable environment and carers she was familiar with. At the time of returning to the home her doctor's prognosis was that little could be done and end-of-life care was initiated. However, within a week, the wonderful carers had her dressed and sitting in her favourite armchair in the lounge ensuring that she take the fluids necessary for recovery. I cannot praise the carers and management of Eothen highly enough. They are like an extension of the family and have provided wonderful care, even though the challenges of the pandemic.

Mother was hospitalised following a fall and deemed unable to resume independent living. Eothen decorated a room for her and she moved in with her own furniture 3 and a half years ago.
The best move she ever made.
Now 101 years old, she is happy, relaxed and safely cared for. Eothen is her home in
every meaning of the word and the staff part of her extended family.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.897)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.897) out of 10 for Eothen Homes is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.897 for Eothen Homes is calculated as follows: ( (343 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 380 Ratings = 4.897
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Eothen Homes is based on 32 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4, which has been reached with 32 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
