Whenever I go and visit my father he seems to be very clean and happy. At all times the staff are very polite, helpful and caring. A special mention must go to the member of staff who does your social media page. It makes me feel good to see my father enjoying the activities.

The care mum was shown by carers and all the staff at Eastleigh has been outstanding. I highly recommend this care home; the staff are attentive and treated mum with love and dignity. Nothing was too much trouble at anytime in her two year stay. Every effort was made to give her the individual care
package she required to ensure she was comfortable, and felt loved at a time when the family could no longer manage. At every weekly visit family were always made to feel welcomed into the home too. We felt mum was in very safe hands. Thank you Eastleigh Team.

Mum has been an Eastleigh resident for just over a year she is happy and content enjoys the activities and outings. She is always clean and tidy, and I have no worries as I know she is well looked after. The staff always make me welcome they are helpful and friendly always. The home is warm, comfortable,
clean with very nice decor. We appreciate all the staff input and support they have given us as a family.

My experience after 7 years with a relative in care at Eastleigh Care Home. The staff are always helpful and have a positive attitude if there is a problem it will be addressed and resolved. The home itself is very welcoming to visitors with good activities available for those who wish to join in. There
is genuinely a sense that all who work there care about the residents and their families.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Eastleigh Care Home, from the top lady to the cleaners, show great understanding of the needs of elderly and mentally infirm people. They have the kindness and patience of a saint, which obviously reflects their training. There is a cohesive atmosphere where everyone seems to be working
from the same hymn sheet! They are friendly and helpful to each other as well as the residents. It has a family atmosphere. Activities are numerous and varied and the care staff seem to enjoy and enthuse even the most disabled to join in. As a frequent visitor to my husband, I too am treated with respect and dignity, yes, even love. Have made many friends of residents and families, which Eastleigh encourages. In many institutions, items 'go missing'.

Since my brother has been admitted in September of 2023 as a resident at Eastleigh we have all been overwhelmed by the welcome care and kindness from all the team. My brother is so happy and we are so relieved to see how well he has settled in. It is truly a home-from-home in the very best one would
wish for. God Bless them all.

Review from Leah T (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 November 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Moving my mother to a care home was a difficult decision for my brother and me. She was already in her 90s.
My mother has now been a resident at the Eastleigh Care Home for over two years. She is well, happy, and has flourished.
She has gained weight and enjoys the activities. She is settled and enjoys
life. The care staff are kind, and known to me by name - her individual idiosyncrasies are catered for and physically she is well looked after. All care staff are professionals and I am kept updated on any issues relating to Mum’s health. Thank you to the two members of staff reception who are worthy of a particular mention. I live a couple of hundred miles away and still work so visits are not as frequent as I would like however, a member of staff arranges a weekly video call so that Mum and I can chat and laugh together.
The video calls, supplemented by my brother's visits, are invaluable and have made the whole set-up work for us as a family.
Overall, I feel the care given at Eastleigh is exceptional.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
At Eastleigh Care Home, over the past year, my husband has been treated with kindness, politeness, care and respect. He acknowledges that the staff listen to him and takes time to get to know him. They are willing to continue to encourage him to take part in activities, despite the fact that the answer
is generally negative. As a visitor to the home, I have always received a warm welcome and the caring staff will take time to say hello and also make me feel very welcome.

My husband has been at Eastleigh for 6 months and has been treated with great care and kindness. His wishes are respected and every help extended to make his life as comfortable and happy as possible. I can't praise the staff enough, they work so hard and are always so cheerful. I am made to feel welcome
when I visit and communicated with when needed. I can return home knowing he is safe and really well cared for.

Both my parents were residents at Eastleigh Care Home, my father for 3 months, my mother for five years. Throughout their time there they were treated with kindness, care and respect with their wishes and dignity always born in mind. Their end of life treatment was carried out with great care and compassion.
The staff communicated with us regularly and when needed and always welcomed us when we visited.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.771)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.771) out of 10 for Eastleigh Care Homes (East Street) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.771 for Eastleigh Care Homes (East Street) is calculated as follows: ( (124 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 153 Ratings = 4.771
  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 Eastleigh Care Homes (East Street) is based on 13 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 54 registered maximum number of service users is 10.8, which has been reached with 13 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.
