The care my mum receives at Eachstep is fantastic. I can not thank the carers enough for the complete respect, care and love they give my mum. I would recommend the home to anyone that is looking for care.

I am extremely happy with the care my In-Laws receive from the home. I have no issues recommending Eashstep to others.

Over the three years of being involved in Eachstep, through the care of my husband, I've found the majority of staff efficient. Unfortunately not all of them, the same applies to the laundry and the cleaning staff. There is no one manning the reception desk at the weekend which is poor. We were told we would have family meetings which are not happening. Apart from these comments, my husband has always been happy in his surroundings.

Our Manager operates an ‘open door’ policy so is always available to address individual concerns. All our staff undergo regular training and are currently taking part in Customer Care Training.
During May we had entertainment from a harpist and guitar player as well as a singer. I am well cared for. I am showered regularly and dressed and assisted with my meals. I went to the hair salon and had my hair done this week. My room is always very clean.

Find all the carers very caring. Front desk always helpful. Everyone makes you feel welcome. They have plenty of activities.

My mother is not a natural mixer but the staff do their best to encourage her to join in with activities. The establishment exudes an air of calm friendliness, run by the staff who are generally very approachable.
My mother and father-in-law reside in a different local care home which is not purpose built! Because of this comparison, I'm able to comment that you can't beat a purpose-built establishment!
If we have any concerns we feel we can inform staff and any issues that may have arisen are dealt with.

We really think the establishment is excellent from the staff to the food, to the care. Obviously, we could pick minor faults but we know the staff try their best with limited staffing. The staff have tried to get to know mum, her family, her likes and dislikes and that means a lot to our family....

The care, staff and place are second to none.
