My mum receives the care she needs with all staff being aware of her individual needs. There is a good range of activities for the residents. Family are welcomed.

The service provided is very satisfactory but is dependant on full compliments of staff both day and night. It is obvious when staff levels are down but the attention of the staff remains high.

I only recently moved in here and everyone has been very kind, helpful and very welcoming. My view from the window is exceptional; I look out over immaculate gardens which are so colourful and well-kept.

My mum has been at the home for two years. She is very happy there.
The facilities and activities are great, and the home itself is beautiful - especially the gardens.
However, what makes the home truly special is the staff. My mum loves them, and they love her. They go out of their way to make
her feel special. They are dedicated, hardworking and very kind!

My aunt has lived at Eothen for several years and now has advanced dementia. She used to join in all the activities and took an active part, but now she is in very poor health. Her care throughout has been excellent. The staff are always patient, empathic and kind, whatever the circumstances.

I came over from Canada for a month and was able to pop in and see Dad over a few weeks. My two sisters are in Whitley Bay and are in weekly. Dad is happy and well cared for. The staff are exemplary, very kind and know their residents very well. It's a lovely set up. Garden is gorgeous and well kept.
The big carp in the pond are a nice touch. Lots of events. My kids played a little concert last time they were over from Canada.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care home is probably the best one I have ever visited. My father and my father-in-law were both residents at different care homes and this one is by comparison superb. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and the place is spotlessly clean. My auntie seems very happy there and the staff are
incredibly attentive to her. I feel 100% comfortable having her stay at Eothen Home Whitley Bay.

I visit my mother and can't fault anything. The home is always immaculate, the food looks good, and all the staff are so friendly. The carers look after my mum as if she was their own mother. Couldn't wish for a better place to look after my mom. Thank you.

Our mum has been in Eothen Homes for almost a year now. She took a while to settle, having moved there directly from a spell in hospital. The staff have done everything possible to encourage her to feel at home, so much so that after a difficult surgery and yet more time in hospital she couldn't wait
to return! It's true to say that she feels safe and happy there and we, her family, have confidence that she's well cared for and in good hands.

Dad was very nervous about going into care but he settled within the first week. All the staff are very caring this home is very clean and comfortable with good home cooked food. He has been at Whitley Bay Home for six weeks now and is very content.

The most wonderful residential home. The staff are so friendly and warm. Not only with the residents but with the relatives too. It’s such a comfort knowing that our darling family member is well cared for not only with medical needs but emotional needs too. She tells us the staff pop in to see her
for a chat if she doesn’t feel like socialising in the main living room. They have a regular timetable of events each day like gardening club, visiting singers, visiting animals and craft activities. There’s always something to join in with and I love that they recognise calendar events like valentines, pancake day and burns night. When our time comes if we needed residential care, Eothen will be top of our list! I could go on all day about how fab this place is. You won’t be disappointed when you go for a visit.

Haven't had much to do with management. At the moment not many activities going on - really love the garden club and the guinea pig. Some days food is excellent. It's a lovely place.

My mother is very happy at Eothen Homes. She particularly loves the pet guinea pig, who will sit on her lap for ages while she strokes her. The home is warm and inviting. The staff are helpful and friendly.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are absolutely amazing. Some of them have been there for over 20 years, which speaks volumes. No matter which role the staff carry out, they all have a caring heart for the residents, who are genuinely loved. Eothen Homes is a home from home - 35 residents means that they are constantly being
engaged with by the staff. There is a range of activities if residents wish to join in, and beautiful gardens to admire at all times of the year and sit out in/take walks when the weather is warmer. The food is amazing too.

Our Mum has lived at Eothen for almost 2 years. We can't fault the care she has received. The staff are very caring and patient with all the residents and try their hardest to make residents feel at home. The food is home-cooked and wholesome and our Mum has no complaints. We have peace of mind knowing
our Mum is receiving the best possible care.

Lovely staff, very friendly and caring. Lovely gardens.Can't really comment on some categories for obvious reasons, hence the moderate scores on a couple! Otherwise can't really fault Eothen at all and Mam loves the staff!

The staff at Eothen are like dad’s extended family and for this, I am so grateful. He is clearly very happy and has such praise for the staff himself. He lives in a place where without any doubt, he is leading a life where he is happy and fulfilled. The staff work as a team and have worked tirelessly
during these difficult times, for which we are so grateful. They are respectful caring and loving, treating all the residents as the individuals they are, providing the highest standard of care. Leadership at Eothan is fantastic and the care delivered by the staff is outstanding.

The staff and management of Eothen Homes are very kind and supportive. Of equal importance, they are extremely capable and professional. The home is well-maintained, and the garden is extensive and always kept in top condition. A great deal of effort is put into ensuring that the residents are comfortable
and happy.
My mother has lived in the home for over four years; within the last two years, she has needed increasing levels of support and care. This extra input from the staff has been provided seamlessly. Everyone has continued to make sure that my mother receives all of the help that she needs.
Presumably, nobody relishes the prospect of moving from their own home to a care facility. However, most of us know when such a move is necessary. If, or when the time arrives for me to move to a care home, I can think of no better place to live. I know that I would be looked after properly, and I am sure that I would be happy there.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.850)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.850) 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.850 for Eothen Homes is calculated as follows: ( (236 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 273 Ratings = 4.85
  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 23 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 23 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.
