Review from Graham H (Son of Resident) published on 13 March 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It is difficult to put into words how much our family values the care and support that Eothen Homes, Wallsend provide for mum and us. Trusting a loved one to the care of others is challenging and I vividly remember the day in 2014, when mum went into care, as my most difficult and traumatic day. Over
the next two years, both mum and the family struggled badly adapting to her new life. However, in 2016 we read about the imminent opening of Eothen Homes, Wallsend and their innovative approach to delivering care for those suffering with dementia. We attended an open day at the home and after listening to the staff and seeing the facilities knew that this was something very different and very definitely the right place for mum. Mum (and the family) were welcomed warmly and settled in quickly. Almost three years on I can testify wholeheartedly that all at Eothen remain enthusiastically committed to those original goals, delivering care of the highest quality in a warm and loving manner.

Couldn't thank the staff enough for the care and love they gave to my grandad. I will be forever grateful and can't recommend Eothen Homes enough to family and friends.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mam received excellent care from both day and night staff in the 12 weeks she was in Eothen, especially in her final days.
The food was fantastic.
Coming into the home unannounced on the day mam died (4.50am) I was touched to find the carer sitting in a chair next to mam's bed, holding her hand.
It
is something I will find comfort from for many a day.

My mother moved into Eothen Homes at Wallsend in January 2017 at the age of 101 and lived there until she passed away in June 2017.
During her stay at Wallsend, I witnessed a level of care and kindness from all the staff to my mother which was far beyond my hopes and expectations and made my mother
so happy.
Her stay was in one big happy family and those happy days will remain in my memory for ever.

My mother has flourished with social interaction and the care provided by the staff. She has been treated with dignity, respect and love during her respite visit.
Given the above she will be hopefully admitted full time soon

This is a fantastic care home. My aunt loved it from the first moment she moved in. The staff are friendly, caring and helpful. The facilities are second to none. My wife and I have just stayed in the guest room which is of hotel standard and we were treated really nicely by all the staff.

Review from Julie A (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 June 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Father visited my Mam nearly every day, he was offered lunch, cups of tea and cake every day. My Dad had so much praise and love for the staff in the home and everyone knew my dad. He thought the staff treated my mum with such care, love and kindness and had a piece of mind knowing his wife was taken
care of. My Dad suddenly passed away in May 2017 and the amount of staff that turned up at his funeral was amazing, they came on their day off to pay their respects to him. He would have been delighted at all that was there. Our family couldn't thank them enough for the love and support they have given us and I know the extra love they are now giving my Mam. Eothen Home is the most amazing place I have ever been to and the staff are amazing I can't praise them enough, the love they give to all the residents is unbelievable and genuine keep up the amazing work you all do much love to you all.

Myself and my family have been extremely happy with my mother's care since she went into Eothen Homes Wallsend. The staff are very helpful and caring nothing is too much trouble anytime of the day or night. My mother seems very happy there and is settling in nicely. I hope she will be there for a long
time to come.

Eothen Wallsend is a purpose built specialised care home and person centred planning is top priority at this lovely home. The staff are fantastic and have made the transition for my dad effortless, he has a fantastic rapport with all of them and nothing is too much trouble for them. It's a welcoming
environment and the space both inside and outside for the residents is vast, the grounds are as beautiful as the inside. The residents are treated with care and dignity at all times and my dad's needs are met on a daily basis and it is a safe environment at all times. A home from home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Eothen Home is a dementia specialist facility. The staff are trained to provide "light touch" care and are especially adept at de-escalating situations before confrontations or agitations occur. Treating residents with dignity is very highly prioritised in all aspects of their care. The staff are patient,
loving and kind. The staff are very approachable and deal with concerns very sensitively in a supportive manner. The staff know the residents very well and your strong emotional bonds with them.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandmother is treated as an individual and the flexible style of care suits her and her transitioning mental state brilliantly. She can eat whenever she wants, walk freely and safely around the large grounds, engage in activities if she wishes and feels a part of a household family again. The home
is spotless and the facilities are second to none. The staff understand how to care for the complexities of dementia and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this home to others.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.965)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.965) out of 10 for Eothen Homes is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.965 for Eothen Homes is calculated as follows: ( (276 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 286 Ratings = 4.965
  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 Eothen Homes is based on 24 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 24 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.
