About Eastry House
Here at Eastry House, we provide residential care for a wide range of people in the heart of Sandwich, Kent. Our home supports older adults, younger adults, people living with dementia, those with learning disabilities or autism, and people with physical disabilities or visual and hearing impairments. We also offer respite care for those who need a shorter stay, whether that is to give a family carer a break or to support recovery after a period of ill health. We know that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a person and their family will ever make, and we do not take that lightly. Our aim is straightforward: to make sure every person who comes through our doors feels safe, respected and at home. We take time to understand each individual, their routines, their preferences and what matters most to them day to day. Our team works hard to create an environment that feels genuinely homely rather than clinical. We believe good care is built on honest relationships and consistent support, and we work closely with residents and their families to make sure care plans reflect real needs and real wishes. We want to be transparent about where we are as a home. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission resulted in an overall rating of requires improvement, and we have taken that feedback seriously. We are actively working through the areas identified and making meaningful changes. We are committed to being open about this with families and prospective residents, and we welcome questions about the progress we are making. If you would like to find out more about life at Eastry House or arrange a visit, we would be very glad to hear from you. We are always happy to show people around and talk through how we might be able to help.
