Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Staff were always pleasant and helpful. Many appear to really enjoy their work despite the obvious demands of this type of work. My aunt was always addressed by her name and encouraged to get involved with others and the activities. I did think the room could be cleaner, especially the floor. I dropped
some water once on the floor - wiped it with toilet tissue which then turned very dirty. That said, a very nice care home, lovely gardens and courtyard.
Reply from Anne Ruttle, Home Manager at Eaton Court Nursing Home

Thank you for taking the time to review the Home and for your positive comments about the staff and the activities. I am so sorry you had a concern about the cleanliness, the Home is very busy with constant footfall on the floors, had we been made aware of your concerns at the time we would have been able to address them and ensure the spillage was rectified.

I am sister in law and representative to a resident. I am totally pleased at her care, medication and support, although because of her needs she is a bit upset at times when we see her every other day she picks up immensely. I would recommend Easton Court Care Home to anybody. Thank you so much for
her impeccable care you have shown her.

Mum is happy here. If she is happy then so am I. Luckily also despite Alzheimer's, she is very compliant goes with the flow and enjoys activities with lovely staff. After being a full-time carer for her for 2 years before she came to you I was finding it very stressful, but now we are both happy and
appreciate all that is done for her.

I feel mum's room always looks unkept, with lots of discarded items around. Mum's personal belongings are often knocked over etc. Mum often hadn't been cleaned when we arrived at 11 am.
Reply from Anne Ruttle, Home Manager at Eaton Court Nursing Home

Thank you for taking the time to review us. Over the past 4 years of living with us, your Mum's condition has changed and we need more equipment to provide for her needs. We are aware that this equipment can make her room look cluttered and we will remind staff to try to prioritise her personal possessions over the equipment required. As always we are willing to discuss this with you when you next visit.

My mother has been confined to a Careflex chair for eight years since suffering a stroke, despite being completely dependent she has never had any pressure care problems. I like how the staff include everyone in the activities despite their abilities. Eton Court is always clean and tidy and smells fresh.

My father lived for 4 years at Eaton Court before his recent death aged 93. My mother lived there for a shorter period before her death in 2020.
Throughout this time their care has always been excellent. The staff are very friendly and treat the residents more like family. Their job is not always
easy but usually tackled with a positive attitude and where appropriate a smile on their faces.
Thank you all for all your efforts.
My family are all convinced we made the right choice for Mam and Dad.

I moved my friend, for whom I have power of attorney, from another residential home in Grimsby, which can be very traumatic for someone with dementia. That friend has been met with kindness, encouragement and is receiving excellent care, despite being very negative and at times very awkward. I am so
pleased with all aspects of the home. It is clean, bright and very welcoming. All the staff are hardworking, efficient and friendly and the food is very good. There is a lot on offer for residents who choose to participate. The manager is very approachable and the place runs like a well oiled machine. Organisation and communication are excellent. I have nothing but admiration for staff who work in the care sector, it is definitely a vocation! Well done Eaton Court!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.584)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.584) out of 10 for Eaton Court Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.584 for Eaton Court Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (134 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 202 Ratings = 4.584
  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 Eaton Court Nursing Home is based on 17 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 17 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.
