About Eastbury House

Eastbury House is a residential care home in Sherborne, Dorset, offering older people a comfortable and settled place to live with support always close at hand. Our ambition is a modest one and, we think, the right one: to get the ordinary things right. Good food, warm rooms, unhurried mornings and staff with the time to sit down are what actually make a home work. We help with personal care, medication, mobility and meals, and equally with the parts of a day that give it value. Some residents want company, conversation and plenty going on, while others would rather have their own room, their own television and a bit of peace. Both are perfectly good ways to live here, and nobody is pushed into activities they have not chosen. Rooms are personalised, routines are kept as close to what people are used to as we can manage, and relatives are welcome whenever they can come rather than at set visiting times. Respite stays are available for people needing care for a short period. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. If you are looking at care homes in this part of Dorset, please come and see us on an ordinary day.
