Eothen Homes

The management are excellent. I can't praise it enough!

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.

We are very happy with the care given to my mum by Eothen Homes. It is such a homely and comfortable environment with caring staff who always go the extra mile. Mum is always smartly dressed and clean and her dietary and care needs are always addressed. Very happy indeed.

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.

I may be looking for a place there myself.

Mum moved into Eothen Whitley Bay in somewhat distressed circumstances and from start they were very supportive and flexible. Everybody is very nice, everybody knows her name, she enjoys the food, and there are beautiful gardens that she has a view over which has really helped with settling in. Whilst it is always going to be a difficult process for the heart, my head is 100% sure that this was the right decision.

Eothen is an excellent facility. The staff are so professional, caring and supportive at all times. The facilities are of a very high standard, as is the general appearance and atmosphere of the home. Mum is happy, safe and secure here and that is a great comfort to us.

The quiet Christian ethos fosters an atmospehere of generous mutual acceptance.

Annual reviews are good and beneficial for any changes that may occur, being necessary for her ongoing ease needs. No change is good.

I spent 8 days in hospital for a total shoulder replacement operation. I am 91 years old and live alone as I have no family and no relatives in the area and I needed a period of full-time care. I was fortunate to obtain 5 weeks of respite care in Eothen Homes Whitney Bay. The management and staff were excellent, all efficient and caring. The cleaning and laundry services were second to none. The food served was home-cooked with an excellent variety. Tea and coffee were served mid-morning and afternoon with cake etc. A hot drink was also served in the evening. As a fairly fit non-resident I had an excellent rapport with staff and management, and leaving them was quite a wrench. The residents I spent time with, were also friendly and helped make my stay extremely pleasant. The entertainment and activities I experienced were all very good. I would certainly recommend this care home highly.

The staff in the home always smile. It makes everyone else in the home smile too. The residents are well looked after.

During the last 10 years, we have had 4 relatives in a care home as such we have a fair bit of experience. We rate Eothen Homes Whitely Bay as the very best we have dealt with. The staff are simply superb and care genuinely about their residents.

My 98-year-old mother moved into Eothen Homes in Whitley Bay on 22 March 2024. It happened very quickly and I was a little anxious but my concerns were put to rest immediately. The staff are kind and caring and cannot do enough. They make an effort to understand my mother’s needs and to get to know her. The food at Eothen Homes is excellent and all homemade. The variety each day is a choice of two main courses at lunchtime plus dessert and two choices a teatime. In addition, in the afternoon I have seen beautiful homemade cheese scones, fairy cakes and homemade biscuits to go with a cup of tea or coffee. There are activities each day and, as soon as the weather gets better we will have an opportunity to go into the gardens which are so well kept. At Easter eggs and an incubator were brought in and chics hatched and were kept for a couple of weeks in the lounge. It is truly a home from home. My mum feels safe and I am happy and relieved about it.

My gran lived at Eothen in Whitley Bay for the last 15 years or so of her life until she passed away peacefully this month. She received the most amazing care and more importantly, love from all the team during her time there and she regularly told us how happy she was living there. The support we as a family received during her final days was also truly appreciated. I cannot recommend this home highly enough, thank you all for being Gran's extended family, she loved you all!

My mother has Alzheimer's so a safe consistent routine is critical to her care. Over the last year and a half, the staff at Eothen Homes caring for my mother has been the same since day one. This has allowed my mother to settle due to the patience, attention and care offered by the staff.

From the beautiful garden, attentive and caring staff where nothing is a problem, to his room which is always spotless. Varied activities take place every day, and the food is excellent. Everything about the home is first-class.

My mother came into the home on 12/10/2023. From the initial meeting with a member of staff up to today 07/11/2023 I have had nothing to say apart from "excellent" about the care my mother has received. "All" members of staff have been lovely. I cannot express anything but praise for everyone. The activities provided by a first class coordinator. I am so pleased we were given the opportunity for my mother to come to this home. She has made so many friends. I cannot praise the home enough. "I can sleep at night" knowing my mother is safe. Thank you to everyone.

The care of Mum has been second to none. We have been so happy with the care she has received. It has given us peace of mind. The staff are so kind and helpful and the atmosphere is always welcoming and like a big family. They are sensitive to Mum's needs and likes and dislikes as if she were one of their own family. We love the beautiful gardens which are so well-kept. The activities for Mum are very good and she thinks the food is excellent. Visitors are always made most welcome.

Mum has settled very quickly into Eothen Home. The staff are all very caring and kind. It's wonderful to see Mum so happy.

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.
