Eaton Lodge Nursing Home has a Review Score of 9.8 (9.776) out of 10, based on 25 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Eaton Lodge Nursing Home has 68 reviews.
It is such a difficult decision placing your parent into a nursing home and relinquishing responsibility to others. However, she needed professional care and nursing, something we could not provide. We definitely made the right choice in choosing Eaton Lodge. Highly recommended.
Thanks for your nice review and I will pass the message to the team.
On those visits that involve lunch, the food looks excellent and our aunt eats well and has no complaints.
Certainly, we feel that the staff ‘know’ her.
If our aunt had more access daily to natural light in her own bedroom that would be super but we understand, logistically, that’s tricky.
Thank you very much for your positive review. I shall pass on to and all of the team.
We are all naturally concerned and distressed when a family member unfortunately finds themselves in need of end of life care. The staff at Eaton Lodge are first-class at looking after every aspect of your loved one at this difficult time. Being adjacent to the local surgery ensures access to further specialist support, if required. Visiting relatives are looked after well and kept fully informed at all times. After a difficult period of home care, Mum appeared calm and comfortable from the outset every time I visited, which is a source of great comfort, particularly if you live a long way away. During her short stay, St Patrick's Day came along and the staff organised some themed events, which Mum thoroughly enjoyed. I gather this, and other activities, are a regular thing. Would thoroughly recommend you consider Eaton Lodge for any care home requirements.
Thank you very much for your wonderful reviews, I will pass the message to my team.
The staff at Eaton Lodge have been amazing looking after my grandad and also my grandma when she goes to visit! The staff are always friendly and welcoming with a cup of tea. The home is never smelly or dirty and they have interesting activities going on every couple of weeks. My son (six) is always happy to visit the home too. All of the residents love talking to him and the staff treat him so nicely, offering different snacks, drinks and activities to do by himself or with the residents! His favourite is to place rings on the floor and get all of the residents in the lounge to throw bean bags into their coloured ring. My grandad is settled in the home and is treated really well. He is quite happy there and the nursing side has improved his quality of life. I wouldn't pick anywhere else to house my grandad!
Thank you for your nice comment Ailsa, we are happy and privileged to look after your granddad and grandma, who regularly visits the home.
Very pleased with the friendly staff. They care for my relative with care and thoughtfulness. The meals are aimed at older people and residents are catered for. The place smells pleasant and clean. There are many activities that include those who are unable to leave their rooms.
Thank you for your nice message, I will pass this to the team.
My dad has been a resident of Eaton Lodge for just over a year. Not only do they look after dad well but also mum and other family members when they visit and are always made welcome by the staff and a cup of tea.
There are activities organised by the entertainment manager which has seen them do different activities and celebrate special days such as Saints Days, Easter and I am sure next week the coronation. Birthdays are a big thing celebrated in style too.
I am happy with the care given and received at Eaton Lodge except for one thing. There are times when despite everything being labelled dad is not wearing his own clothes or we see other residents in dad's clothes. It doesn't seem to be a priority but I feel the residents lose a bit of dignity when wearing someone else's clothes. I asked dad what he thought and he said it is a first class place, with first class food, always clean and tidy and he feels looked after well and says the staff can't do enough for him. Thanks.
It is lovely to see all the family too.
Your dad enjoys all activities and is always smiling.
I shall pass on all your comments to the manager and team.
During my mother in laws short stay at Eaton Lodge she was cared for by staff who made the effort to get to know her and make her comfortable, and as a family we felt that we were always welcome to visit her at any time. We feel that we chose the right place for mum to spend her last days.
Thank you for your positive review. Your mother-in-law was a lovely lady, and she enjoyed Luigi the dog pet therapy and one of our singers singing to her. I will pass on your lovely comments to the staff team.
Overall standard is excellent.
Thank you so much for your excellent feedback. It is so lovely to have feedback from our residents at Eaton Lodge. We shall pass on your comments to our staff team.
My mum was in a home 70 miles from her home which made it very difficult to visit her, and her health deteriorated rapidly. Eaton Lodge staff helped to have her transferred to their residential premises in October 2022. Her whole demeanour changed, she was talking, smiling, and from time to time recognised family when they visited. She was taking part in activities that the staff were helping her with. She had a lovely Christmas. During January she started to deteriorate, the care they gave was second to none, they were amazing. She passed away the day before her 88th birthday. They helped organise her leaving the home. They will never be forgotten. Our family will be forever grateful to them.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are so glad your mum enjoyed being at Eaton Lodge and she loved all the staff and activities. We shall pass on your kind words to all the team.
My partner and I are very pleased with everything. Pleasant staff and a nice and clean place.
Thank you for your kind words and trust in Eaton Lodge; I will pass the message on to the team.
My husband was only in Eaton Lodge for two weeks but all the staff were very kind and caring. I cannot fault them or the home. They made Richard's last 2 weeks alive the best they possibly could. I am so very grateful to them all.
Terri, thank you very much for your kind words and confidence in us. I will gratefully pass your message on to the team.
All the staff are very caring and attentive to my parents' needs. Dad has been at Eaton Lodge since April 2020 and Mum joined him in November 2022. Dad joining in Covid was such a stressful time but the staff were so kind and helpful and when Mum needed care they were so supportive and accommodating. Mum and Dad are sharing a room and I've been able to bring things from their home to make it a comforting and homely space for them. They both really like the food and Mum's mental state has improved considerably since being here. Dad isn't always the easiest to look after but they treat him (and Mum) with compassion and dignity. It helps that I can visit at any time too.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It is so lovely for your mum and dad to be together again. So glad they are settled and enjoy the food! We love to see you all too.
Client's needs are attended to quickly and facilities are good as are activities so we have plenty to chat about.
I cannot rate food or drink or value for money as I have not experienced either.
Thank you so much for your excellent review. It is so lovely to see you and Lu regularly and the residents find so much joy when you both visit.
My father was at Eaton Lodge for around five months, he had late-stage dementia, and though it wasn't his fault, he was not an easy patient. I never saw the staff and the manager at Eaton Lodge get frustrated with him or treat him with anything less than kindness. They were professional, extremely hardworking, sensitive and compassionate, and they were lovely to me and my mum too. I would recommend the staff at Eaton Lodge to anyone without hesitation. My one reservation was with the owner of the home. We received funding from the council that was paid directly to the home, and he should have paid straight to us. At a time of considerable stress and pain, the owner, week after week, month after month, didn't pay us the money he owed. It was only when the government sent a letter asking for a written confirmation of money paid that he at once stumped up the funds.
Hi Tony, thank you for your kind words, I will pass to the team your comments. I do understand about your concerns on the money, I do apologise that it is a bit long to sort it out. We will endeavour to work better for this not to happen in the future.
We found a vast improvement from previous owners. The staff were very good and happy to make the residents and visitors welcome and open to any suggestions, that might make the resident's stay as good as it can be. Their standards are very high in all departments, for example, cleanliness, food and care.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback. I will pass on your comments to all the staff teams.
It has been a very good experience for myself and my brother to be cared for in Eaton Lodge Nursing Home for the last three weeks of his life. I compliment the nursing and care staff for their excellent standard of care and loving attention. The homely atmosphere of this home was very much felt. The administration was very good.
Thank you so much for your positive, kind words. It has been our privilege to look after your brother. I shall pass on your thanks to all the staff team.
Eaton Lodge Nursing Home is a very nice and friendly home. Staff are always helpful and friendly. I am sure my mum is being well looked after there. The care home is not far from where I live in Herne Bay so we can visit and see Mum more easily.
Thank you very much for your kind words. Your mum is a pleasure to care for. I shall pass on your positive feedback to the staff team.
My mum lived at Eaton Lodge for six years until she passed away in December. I always found the staff really caring, friendly and competent and I was always confident that she was well cared for, and that the levels of personal and personalised care were very good. There is a lovely atmosphere at Eaton Lodge. It is a very welcoming place for residents and for relatives. The staff treated my mum with kindness, patience and warmth. I could always visit at any time and mum was allowed to have anything she wanted there that suited her needs. My mum's health was very poor when she moved there, but over the six years of her stay her general health improved due to diligent and attentive care and kindness.
Thank you for your positive feedback. Your mum was lovely with a great sense of humour. We shall tell all the staff your kind words.
Since my nan moved here from her previous care home we have noticed a significant improvement in her personal care. Her strength has improved and is much more settled. In the previous care home, she had three accidents in 9 weeks. In this home, nothing but care for her needs.
It is our pleasure caring for your nan. We shall pass onto our dedicated team.
I love it here. They're caring, just like family. When you need them they are there for you to hold your hand. It's the best home ever, it's home.
Thank you for your kind and positive words. We shall pass them on to the team.
