East Hill House offers flexible residential and residential dementia care to meet individual requirements. The dedicated team works very closely with each of the residents, their families, and loved ones to ensure personally tailored care plans are put in place.

The home is ideally equipped to provide residential support for elderly people living with different types of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia, and their specialist dementia training highlights the importance of meaningful activities and a stimulating environment.

The home gives as much independence as possible, letting individuals choose how to run their life in the home, and if they prefer to have dinner in front of the TV, or even dust their own room, the staff will make it happen. Just as putting their own stamp on their bedroom, the team will be on hand to help to personalise it with the things they love.

My brother has been a resident for approximately 8 years. He is treated with dignity and respect and the staff have a warm and compassionate relationship with him. He was very poorly over the Christmas/New Year and required a hospital admission. His care and attention prior to his hospital admission
was first class. The manger/deputy manger kept in tough with me to offer their support for the duration of his hospital stay (3 weeks). Happily he has now recovered and returned to his home.

Reply from Home Manager, Home Manager at East Hill House Residential Care Home

My close friend has been a resident at East Hill Residential Care Home for over 5 years. During this time, the staff have always been friendly and most attentive to her needs. and have kept us informed of developments in her health and welfare. The home appears to be kept clean and hygienic and comply
with relevant legislation. Entertainment and activities are well organised and frequent.

My brother-in-law has been in East Hill for the last 12 months. From the beginning the staff have been friendly, helpful and kind throughout and have loojed after my brother-in-law ever when he has had some health problems.
My wife died, unfortunately, last May and the staff arranged for him to come
to the funeral and supplied a nurser/carer to accompany him which was a great help to me.
East Hill is quite old and needs some money spent on it to bring it up to date, including the outside decking so that the residents can spend some time outside in the summer.

Reply from East Hill House, Home Manager at East Hill House Residential Care Home

Many thanks for your kind words about our team and the care of your brother-in-law at East Hill House. We are very sorry for your loss and pleased that we could support your brother-in-law and help you at such a difficult time for you all.

Whilst I would describe East Hill Care Home as a little shabby, the care my father receives is definitely not shabby in anyway. The home is warm, clean and welcoming. The carers are attentive, happy and always do a good job being attentive and caring. They are genuine in their care and approach to the
residents.

Reply from East Hill House, Home Manager at East Hill House Residential Care Home

I continue to be extremely pleased with the care my 96 year old father is getting at East Hill House. He has dementia which can be challenging at times but the staff continue to be very kind to him. You can really feel that all the staff in each role genuinely care for him. He is treated with every
respect and within the home, huge efforts are made with entertainment opportunities. He is also very happy with the food, which is so much better than in his last residence

I have been extremely pleased with the care received by my lovely sister-in-law. She has settled in well given the sudden change required from living at home. The staff are excellent, very caring and understand individual needs. There are lots of activities taking place and living a distance away the
updates on social media are wonderful and very reassuring.

We had to find respite care for my mother-in-law quite quickly. She had been here before, so we knew she would be happy and well cared for.
The staff go above and beyond and always take time with her as she can be a little agitated at times.
There is always some activity taking place, whether it
be gardening, cheese tasting, a quiz, etc.
We have now extended her care to long-term care and are happy with our decision.

It is with great sadness that we said goodbye to our mum who passed on the 2nd of February 2024. I would like to say a big thank you to all the staff at East Hill House for all the love and care they gave my mum right to the end. The staff always went above and beyond their duties and even attended
my mum's funeral, which was lovely and greatly appreciated by all our family. East Hill House staff keep up the fantastic work you do and always remember you are all very highly thought of. Thank you once again for all you did for my mum, forever in our hearts and thoughts.

East Hill is a very good well-run care home. My wife is happy and content here. The staff are excellent, loving and caring for their residents. There is an excellent activities program with varying activities. There is a good atmosphere here with the staff being happy all of the time and this is reflected

My mum moved in at the end of May this year. From the very first visit, the staff were super welcoming and very warm and friendly. We felt this was the right place for Mum and haven’t been disappointed at all. You can tell they take great care of Mum and she is the happiest I have seen her for a few
years now. She was diagnosed with dementia and had become very isolated. Now, she’s around lots of people and is very keen to keep busy and help the carers. Simply a lovely place with lovely people and we feel lucky to have found it.

Nearly a year ago, we had no option but to find a home for dad where all of his needs would be met. We found East Hill after visiting many, so pleased that we did! Dad is happy and settled. His bright and spacious ensuite room is kept clean and tidy. Dad is always shaved, showered and dressed smartly
at the beginning of each day. He enjoys the meals and is looking well, benefiting from the flexible routine. The staff are helpful and cheery with no exception. We visit regularly and are always welcomed by all. Dad enjoys outings, activities and events. We attended a tea party with music and lunch this morning, which was lovely. East Hill has given us peace of mind to know that when we're not with Dad, he's happy and well cared for.

My mum moved to East Hill House during the pandemic, which was a very challenging time for all, especially care homes. Mum made herself at home straight away and soon enough it seemed that all the staff loved her and her smile. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful at all times and there are
always plenty of activities going on. My sister and I chose East Hill as our mum's home because of its homely nature and I am so glad we did as it is like one big family.

My mother has recently deteriorated on her journey with dementia, which has resulted in extra care. All the staff at East Hill House have been amazing in keeping me updated every step of the way, supporting my mum and keeping her comfortable and happy.

I find that the carers are very caring toward my mother and she always has a smile on her face when they appear. They always go out of their way to sort any problem, which is reassuring for me. I think we are very fortunate to have chosen East Hill House for my mother and the care she is given.

I have always found the staff to be very caring and kind, with high values placed on privacy, respect and enjoyment. There is a marvelous range of activities laid on for all residents, that they are free to take part in if they wish. Residents are not forced to interact if they choose not to. Warmth
and food are always provided with variety and thought. The beautiful gardens, tended by staff and residents who like to have a go, look so cheerful and welcoming. The call button is always placed near the resident and if there is anything that they need assistance for, someone will always come as soon as they can to assist. It's a great relief to know that special care homes like this are still available for our elders who may need a rural setting with tactful and outstanding staff.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.722)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.722) out of 10 for East Hill House Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.722 for East Hill House Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (207 Excellents x 5) + (57 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 273 Ratings = 4.722

  • b) 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 East Hill House Residential Care Home is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

I love to be involved with the activities and events that we hold at East Hill House, as the best part of the job is my residents. Being with them and interacting in a meaningful way and supporting my team, which is a ‘good bunch’.


I love the local area. There are plenty of dementia-friendly activities happening, including walking football on Mondays and a dementia choir that our residents are involved in.”
