Mum moved in here in January 2024. We did not need to look anywhere else it felt right the moment we walked through the door. A wonderful warm atmosphere welcomes you into this modern spacious home. The care given by all members of staff and even 'behind the scenes' staff is far beyond what you expect.
Mum described it as 'like being in a hotel being looked after by family'. She enjoyed the laughter and fun during her time here. It put us at ease knowing she was happy here. In her final days in December 2024, Mum and all the family were surrounded by love care and compassion from all the staff and could not be faulted.
The coffee and cake offered is always a treat.

The care at the home during December in my aunties last days was exemplary. She was treated with much love and dignity as were all the relatives that visited her at the home.
She passed away in a safe, happy environment with all the family around her.
She had been a resident for 18 months and had
been very happy at Overstone House, the staff were very caring and loved having her around.

My mother passed away peacefully on December 18th at Overstone House. The care she received in the 19 months she was at the home was exemplary. The attention to detail awarded to mum was above and beyond our expectations. When it was obvious mums time was coming to an end the love and dedication from
the whole team was very much felt and appreciated by the family. We cannot thank them enough for all they have done.

Mum and Dad spent their last few months at Overstone House, having moved from Leicester to be close to us. Others have spoken about the excellent facilities already, but what shines the most are the team of carers. They became so much more than that. They became not only Mum and Dad's extended family,
but ours as well. We felt as cared for, and as looked after as Mum and Dad. Especially in their last days. We cannot thank our extended family enough.

My friends are a married couple and were both classed as bed-bound when admitted last September. The man is now back to normal physically and the woman is walking with carer assistance. The care they are receiving is amazing. I hope a new activities person will be appointed soon as that used to be brilliant.
They are still receiving visits from the dog, entertainers, florist etc.

Mum has been a resident since January 2024. The day we looked around with mum, myself and my sister, thought that Overstone House is like a hotel for the elderly. The staff are caring and compassionate, and nothing is too much trouble. Communication is excellent and we know that should there be a problem,
we would be contacted straight away. Mum loves to chat with the other residents or the staff who make time to talk to her.
Anyone looking for a care home for their relative, in my opinion, would struggle to find a better one than Overstone House.

My mother was a resident here for just over two months. From day one, all of the staff went out of their way to help her feel comfortable as she settled in, and she was encouraged to join in with the many activities whenever she felt well enough to do so.
As visitors, we were always greeted warmly
and offered compassion and refreshments. Every member of the care team showed great empathy and kindness to all of us.
The end-of-life care that was offered to my mother was exceptional in every aspect, and we are very pleased that we chose Overstone House.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum joined Overstone in October last year after a 2-week respite visit. She couldn't wait to go back. The reason it is called a care home is simply because every single member of staff cares so deeply about the welfare and happiness of the residents. As a family, we have been overwhelmed with the care,
dignity and individualised attention Mum has received. From everyday activities to helping her get ready for an important family event, the staff have gone above and beyond what we could have imagined. Communication has been excellent and allowed us as a family to concentrate on spending quality time with Mum rather than having to worry about her every day. Every visitor has commented on how wonderful the environment is and how welcoming the staff have been. We would recommend Overstone House to anyone looking for the highest quality of care for a relative.

Mum has been a resident at Overstone House for over six months, and I am delighted at the level of care, support and dignity she is continually shown. She has really come out of her shell and joins in with many of the varied and interesting activities on offer. It is wonderful to see Mum smiling and
enjoying herself, and when the family visit, we are made to feel extremely welcome by all the staff. I am so pleased that we chose Overstone House - Mum is incredibly well looked after and is thriving in the wonderful surroundings. I cannot thank all the staff enough for the ongoing care, attention and kindness they show her.

I cannot praise Overstone House enough. The level of care and attention the staff provide to the residents is above and beyond. The staff are friendly, patient and always attentive as well as welcoming to visitors. They have a range of activities for the residents to do and always encourage the residents
to take part. My gran loves the regular haircuts and having her nails painted.
The care home itself is well maintained with a lovely outside space and gardens. When I leave, I feel content knowing how well my Gran is looked after and that’s all you could ask for.

Having made several visits to see a friend, the home seems to be very efficient and well-staffed for the residents. Being a new build, all facilities seem first-class. My experience on the first visit was of very helpful staff to see my friend who had only been in the home seven days.

My mum, who has dementia, stayed at Overstone House for some respite care. What a fabulous place! They looked after her so well and I know she really enjoyed herself. It was her birthday while she was there and she was thoroughly spoiled - the chef baked her a special cake and she was treated like a
queen!


Mum even joined in some of the activities while she was there, which was wonderful to see, as she’s usually quite shy. When it came time to bring her home, she was sad to leave.


The staff are simply fantastic - nothing was ever too much trouble and Mum was treated with so much care and compassion. We were a bit nervous about Mum going into respite care for the first time, but we needn’t have worried - and we wouldn’t hesitate to call on Overstone House again if we needed them.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.843)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.843) out of 10 for Overstone House 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 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 4.843 for Overstone House is calculated as follows: ( (171 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 198 Ratings = 4.843
  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 Overstone House 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, 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.

Karen Eastwood

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2024

I started my career in sales and customer service positions in various settings. I gained a lot of experience in customer relations which led me to train in floristry and start my own business in Greece.
15 years ago, I changed career completely, working as a community home carer in Norfolk. Following this I moved to Northampton and became a rehab support worker in acquired brain injury, at this point I knew that I’d found my passion in care and determined to progress my career in this area. I went back to university and trained as a nurse, I returned to practice and gained knowledge and experience, progressing from junior to senior management, and finally taking up the role of registered home manager.
If I’m honest, I started working in care purely for the convenience of childcare and working hours; I am a naturally caring person and with family commitments to consider, this seemed like the perfect job for me. It didn’t take long to realise that this was where I wanted to be, working in care gave me the opportunity to make a difference, which gave me great satisfaction. My role has changed significantly over the years, but I still get that same satisfaction everyday making a difference to the lives of my residents and their families. I love getting to know my residents and what they need to ensure this happens.
I have very high standards and expect the same from my team. I plan to make Overstone House the best residential care home in the area. I strongly believe everyone is different and unique and should be treated accordingly by offering the best standards of person-centred care.
When I'm not working, I like to unwind by spending time outdoors exploring new places, especially if there are mountain views and waterfalls. My passion for hiking, cycling, climbing, and kayaking has led me to discover new places and new adventures.

Alexandra always wanted to work in the caring industry, initially, she wanted to be a nurse or a paramedic, however as Alex worked her way up through the ranks she very quickly realised that she had found her vocation in care.


When Alex is not here at Overstone House, caring for our residents and supporting our team, she loves to spend time cooking and baking, and spending time with her family. Alex has a husband and one son, and enjoying quality time with them is extremely important to her.
