About Eastgrove Rest Home & Hospital
Nestled in a peaceful river valley, Eastgrove Rest Home & Hospital offers a calm, nurturing environment while still being within easy reach of the town centre, shops, and essential services. Accessible walking paths connect the site to the wider community, helping residents maintain independence and enjoy the outdoors. Many of our rooms look out over expansive, park-like gardens, creating a sense of space and tranquillity.
We provide 56 rest home and hospital-level rooms, with the majority designed as dual-purpose.

Choose from standard or premium options, including rooms with extra space, enhanced features, private ensuites, or ceiling hoists for added comfort and assistance.
At Eastgrove, care is shaped around each resident. Our team is known for its attentive, high-quality support, available 24 hours a day. Individualised care plans ensure your health, routines, and preferences are understood and respected.
