This care home is not only really well run, but also it has a lovely, caring atmosphere. My mother was made very welcome here when she first arrived. She has been a resident here for several years, and I have not had any concerns about her care in that time. I would not hesitate to recommend the home
to anyone.

Mum has struggled to settle in but I think it will take time and the staff are wonderfully patient with her.


I can't fault her care, and all the staff are warm and friendly.


An additional benefit for me personally is that it's close enough for me to visit easily.

Review from L M (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 16 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law has been a resident at Eothen for almost a year and we visit her at least once a week.
We find the staff very professional and kind, and they are always responsive to any concerns we may have, whether that is medical or personal.
They always treat my mother-in-law with dignity and
respect, and I find the care and management team always attentive and always keep us informed of any changes. The care home is clean and always smells fresh, and there are daily activities to keep the residents engaged. We would recommend Eothen Care Home to anyone requiring care and we feel reassured knowing our mother-in-law is safe and well cared for.

Dad has settled well, and we are all pleased with the home and care. It is so easy to visit and feel welcome, and to contact management by phone is important. We like seeing the photos of him joining in and the weekly printed diary, too. The food is better than previous home due to in house kitchen.

Dad has lived at Eothen, Whitley Bay, for over 8 years. He is extremely happy, and loves the sociable and friendly atmosphere, the varied activities and most of all the wonderful staff. They are all fabulous, so kind and gentle and supportive and attentive to each resident's individual needs. We can
call in any time, and it is so clear that Dad is living so well, even with his advanced dementia and frailty. We can't thank Eothen enough.

A beautiful home with stunning gardens, always a pleasure to walk through. The care and attention to the little things are notable - water and juice available in the lounge, a great choice of food and all needs catered for - a range of activities to suit everyone.
When you walk in, you notice it smells
clean and fresh. The staff are helpful and genuinely care for the residents in their care. Great to see it still has a Christian ethos.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I met with one of the management team and Eothen, and found the review informative and thorough. Claire ran through mum's current health situation and how it had changed from the previous review etc and how she was generally fairing? Her weight is obviously a concern but the home are monitoring it carefully
and encouraging her at mealtimes whenever possible. Although mum is becoming frailer, I cannot see how any other environment would exceed Eothen's care. We know she is very well looked after

The care & support offered to my relative since admission has been exemplary. Key staff and management show an excellent understanding of her changing needs and respond with sensitivity and professionalism to address these and ease her anxieties. We have also been made to feel very welcome and are grateful
for the on going support for a through a difficult transition in her life.
Staff feedback, both informal or through reviews is detailed and very useful to us and inform and support her other health assessment processes. On a regular basis, we have witnessed the sensitive and caring attitude from staff to other residents, reflecting the nurturing ethos behind Eothen's philosophy. Their humour and adaptive approaches is testimony to how well staff know and care for their different residents, to ensure their safety and well-being.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.853)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.853) 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.853 for Eothen Homes is calculated as follows: ( (287 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 334 Ratings = 4.853
  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 28 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 28 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.
