Mum has been a resident at Eastcotts for the past 8-weeks. She has settled well beyond our initial expectations, and this is mainly due to the care and attention of the whole staffing team. Everyone is friendly and helpful to both Mum and the family and have been very welcoming. Mums care needs have been recognised and catered for. She is treated with dignity and respect. Many thanks!
Thank you for your review of Eastcotts. We are all so pleased that your Mum has settled in so well and is enjoying life here as much as we enjoy having her living with us.
A lovely, happy environment. Very friendly and competent staff, very helpful and sociable. An excellent, safe, calm place where we feel very much at ease to leave Mum knowing she will be taken care of very, very well. Thank you.
Thank you for your review. We are all so pleased with your Mum's progress since she has been living at Eastcotts Nursing Home. She always has a smile and a wave for us all.
Very happy with the caring way my husband is looked after.
My husband has dementia and he is treated with the utmost care and dignity. The manager and every member of the staff is kind and considerate to his needs. In the short time he has been there he has improved, being more alert and stimulated. He settled from the start and is extremely happy. The staff are also very friendly to me when I visit. I couldn't wish for more.
I would only recommend Eastcotts Nursing Home as it is by far the best. My mother has been here for 2 and a half years and I would not want her anywhere else. They treat my mother with dignity and respect at all times and I know my mum is happy here - and that's what matters. All the staff are a credit to Eastcotts.
Excellent meeting, went through all with the team covered all areas of my mum's care.
My mum is very happy, the staff and team are excellent. There are lots of things to do and regular trips out of the home.
The carers and nurses are professional and caring towards the patients and relatives and treat everyone with respect and dignity whilst treating people as family and friends. Nothing is too much trouble for them and I would recommend to anyone.
Love coming here, My mother is getting the care she needs. Staff are very good and friendly.
We'd like to say how wonderful angel and all the staff were at Eastcotts Nursing Home during our dad/father-in-laws stay it was really amazing, helpful caring people couldn't do enough for my dad I can't thank them enough for all the care and support they gave and for making us feel so at ease and welcome. My dad himself feels the same. So we say well done Eastcotts what a brilliant place and staff thank you so very much.
In general, the staff are very kind and nice. Helpful if we need anything for the ones we are visiting. Happy to get us a drink if needed.
I work as a Psychologist in Australia and have been into a number of homes in Bundaberg, Queensland. None of these homes come anywhere near the standard of Eastcotts. Unlike the majority of homes I have been into within Australia, in Eastcotts, residents are treated with respect and dignity.
Both the residents and visitors are looked after fantastically. The food appears good, the staff are warm and friendly while remaining professional. The residents at Eastcotts are stimulated, with lots of interaction with staff and different activities to keep them entertained. In Australia and New Zealand, the residents are often just left to sit. Management and staff were extremely helpful to us when we visited in August and September 2017 and very supportive to my 80 year old mother, when she returned in late January to sort out her brothers funeral. I would recommend Eastcotts to anyone.
I am very contented here and I'm being well looked after.
This involves everybody including staff, patients and visitors. As a carer for seven years, I became aware of a strong spirit of happiness and peace from the first visit. My visits are to read poetry and generally became involved with all aspects of care. My little dog is always welcomed.
