About Eastwood House
Here at Eastwood House, we provide residential and dementia care for older people in the heart of Nottingham, Nottinghamshire. We are a care home that takes its responsibilities seriously, and we want anyone considering us for themselves or a loved one to feel genuinely informed and welcome from the very first conversation. We specialise in supporting older people, including those living with dementia, and we work hard to ensure that each person in our care is treated as an individual. Daily life here is shaped around the people who live with us, not the other way around. We take time to understand personal histories, preferences and routines, because those details matter enormously when someone is making a home with us. We want to be straightforward with prospective residents and families. Our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection resulted in a rating of requires improvement. We do not shy away from that. We have taken the findings seriously and have been working through the areas highlighted with clear focus and commitment. We believe families deserve honesty, and we would rather have an open conversation about where we are and where we are heading than offer reassurances that do not reflect reality. Our team genuinely cares about the people who live here, and that shows in the day to day relationships that build up over time. Families often tell us that knowing their relative is known and looked after as a person, not just a resident, means a great deal to them. If you are thinking about care for yourself or someone close to you, we would warmly encourage you to come and visit us, ask questions, and see Eastwood House for yourself. We are based in Nottingham and are always happy to talk through how we might be able to help.

Eastwood House in Nottingham is registered for respite alongside its longer term places, so ask about minimum stay lengths, notice needed, and what to pack, including medication in original packaging, clothing labelled, and GP details.
Dementia Care at Eastwood House
Living with dementia tends to be easier when the environment is calm, the layout is easy to make sense of, routines feel familiar, and staff are trained to recognise distress before it escalates.
