Eothen Homes

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mam is very happy here. I feel she is safe and well cared for. The staff are friendly and approachable.

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.

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.
