Eston Lodge Care Home is professionally run with a warm and caring atmosphere and aims to enhance the quality of life for all 49 residents. Eston Lodge Care Home is registered, and therefore licensed to provide services, by the Care Quality Commission.

Eston Lodge has acquired a reputation as having the very highest standards for residents with all levels of care, employing highly trained registered nurses and care assistants who provide 24-hour professional support.

Eston Lodge’s experienced team of staff are all trained in caring for people, including those with dementia and complex needs. The team provide a balance between support when it’s needed, and helping residents maintain their independence, whilst encouraging each resident to lead a full and active lifestyle wherever possible.

The person-centred care for every resident is unique. Therefore each resident has their own plan of care that meets their emotional, psychological, social and spiritual needs, as well as physical needs. Staff are committed to ensuring residents maintain self-respect and dignity at all times.

Stimulation and activities are particularly important for residents who enjoy physical and mental activities such as baking, reminiscence, painting, music and arts, gardening, gentle exercise and life skills, which helps bolster strength and energy, and offers an opportunity to interact with staff and other residents.

I have always found the residents to be treated with care and respect and are always clean and tidy. The care home itself is well kept and the gardens are always nice. I would be happy to be a resident in the care home myself. I have always been made welcome and treated like a friend.

My wife has been a resident for four and a half years. I saw her every day, morning, noon and night for 3 years. I know all the staff by first names. Last year knock on window and now half an hour visits. She has had visits from the dentist, chiropodist and hairdressers. Spent time in her room and had
her meals with her. Even though she has dementia she has always been cheerful when I visit. Never had any reason to complain about anything.

Not having seen my sister since I returned from holiday to lockdown in March we called at the care home purely by chance yesterday to ask about my sister's health and well being. A member of staff very kindly offered to bring her in a wheelchair to a room with a large window where we would be able to
see and speak to her. We were rather apprehensive but what a dramatic change we saw. She immediately recognised us smiling and pointing a finger in surprise, was animated and looked physically well and healthy. She was dressed, clean and HAPPY!! You have worked wonders (not miracles) but it is such a relief to know how well she is and has been looked after especially in these terrible COVID times and I can't thank you and your staff enough. We are delighted to know that plans are in place to provide a specially designed COVID safe visiting room with a glass partition in the near future and look forward to visiting again soon. Well done and thank you for your care, compassion and hard work.

Reply from Mark Culley, Manager at Eston Lodge Care Home

Thank you for your kind words and I'm pleased that you have had chance to see your sister under difficult conditions, we all hope visiting will recommence in the building soon with safe measures in place we will, of course, contact you when possible, until then thank you and take care.

I would just like to say how much I appreciate the care and support my mam receives. In March, when I gave my mam a cuddle just before lockdown, was concerned that it might be the last time I give her a cuddle. But the management and staff have done a monumental job of keeping themselves safe, in order
to care for our loved ones. The home is like home, it is airy and clean. The staff can't do enough for the residents. My mam has really settled in, and I know she is happy there. The staff keep us updated on activities and changes.

Reply from Mark Culley, Manager at Eston Lodge Care Home

Thank you for your great feedback. These are very uncertain times and I'm so pleased with the staff response and how well we have done to have had no cases to date. I will pass your feedback onto the staff and I hope to see you give your Mam a cuddle again soon.

My mam and dad were in this home on different occasions until the end of their lives.
I would like to say they were the utmost personal, professional level and very much loving care.
The staff are amazing; I knew they were in safe hands. As a family, we had a good rapper with staff who kept us updated
every step of the way.
A big thank you and love to them all.

Reply from Mark Culley, Manager at Eston Lodge Care Home

Thank you, Karen, for this kind feedback, the staff here at the care home do work very hard and I agree they are amazing in so many different ways. I will pass this on to the team and wish you well in these difficult times.

Having moved my dad from a different care home, we couldn't be happier with this care home. The staff are amazing and caring, friendly and look after my dad really well. The home is clean and the food is lovely. My dad has settled really well and is happy here.

My experience with the Care Home has been very satisfactory. My sister-in-law's room always appears clean and tidy and she is looked after and cared for. Any problems about her welfare have always been reported to me. I have always been able to approach the staff to talk about her welfare.

Staff at the care home have cared for my mother over the last few years. As a family, we feel confident that she is well cared for and settled here. Staff always have her best interest at heart and are very good. We are always informed of any changes in my mother's health very quickly if she is ever
unwell. Overall we feel the staff do an excellent job.

We were very apprehensive about my sister having to move from another care home to this one, but we had no need to worry, as the staff were very caring and gentle with her and most reassuring to myself and family. I felt confident that they would take care of her.
Time has shown that this was an excellent
move for my sister. She has responded well to the staff and says how happy she is to be at the care home. We are most grateful to all the staff for the improvement we now see in my sister.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.726)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.726) out of 10 for Eston Lodge 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.726 for Eston Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (118 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 157 Ratings = 4.726

  • 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 Eston Lodge Care Home is based on 14 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 49 registered maximum number of service users is 9.8, which has been reached with 14 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.
