About Eastbourne House
Eastbourne House is a residential care home in Whitley Bay, North Tyneside. The people living here include older people, many of them living with dementia, along with younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with sight or hearing loss and people managing mental health conditions. Respite stays are available. Because our residents need quite different things from us, support is planned with each person rather than run to a single pattern. People keep their own rooms, their own belongings and their own routines, and they decide how much of the day to spend in company and how much on their own. We ask about the small preferences in detail and expect our staff to follow them, since those details are most of what makes a place feel like home. For residents living with dementia, consistency helps more than anything. Familiar staff, routines that change only when there is a reason, and the patience to understand what somebody means when words have become unreliable. Families are closely involved because they usually hold the history that makes sense of the present. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. That judgement came largely from what our residents and their families told the inspectors, which is why it means something to us. We do not treat it as finished business, since standards slip quietly wherever nobody keeps looking. If you are considering a care home in this area for someone close to you, please come and visit.
