Review from L B (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 May 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother recently received respite care at Newlands while I was on holiday. She had a fantastic week ad thoroughly enjoyed her stay. The staff and facilities are superb and everyone did their utmost to ensure her stay was as safe and pleasant as possible.
I will definitely be using Newlands again
if there is a room free as I know my mum will so look forward to another stay here in the future. Thank you.

Review from Elizabeth W (Friend of Resident) published on 22 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After a fall where my friend broke her hip and had to go into hospital, she received immediate attention by staff who called for an ambulance. Three weeks later, after a very poorly handled discharge, they had to nurse my friend round the clock to rehydrate her and feed her. Their care and dedication
is obvious and nothing is too much trouble or rushed. Carers all seem very patient, caring and kind. I am sure they will get my friend on her feet once again.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Upon her admittance, my mother was very ill. Throughout her stay, all staff were very kind, considerate and caring. Nothing was ever too much trouble. I could not praise this care home too highly, it was excellent.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the outset, my experience has been all positive in spite of sensitive issues with my companion's family. They are professional, helpful, intelligent and listen to my companions opinions with regarding his situation. Dignity and respect are paramount when dealing with residents and positive stimulation
is extremely important. this is a superior care home with beautiful gardens and building. It has a calm ambience and their best asset is their wonderful staff, to whom I give my heartfelt thanks.

Review from Elizabeth G (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 October 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father moved to Newlands in November last year and died there early October this year. A week before he died, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and we and he were very fortunate in that he was able to stay in his own room where his end of life care was most beautifully and sensitively managed,
by the staff who he had come to know and trust. He did not enjoy the experience of giving up his independence to move to a home, and at times he could be difficult and demanding, but his final care was exemplary and done with so much warmth and respect.

Review from Katy R (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 October 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My father was admitted to the home last November. He was not happy about having to leave his own home and as a result he was little challenging to care for. Over the months his health deteriorated and all the care staff always treated him with respect and cheerfulness. Over the months he got to know
and rely on many of the carers, he became interested in them and their lives. It was wonderful that at the end of his life the carers who he grew to know were there in his final days. They nursed him with respect and love and as a result he had a peaceful and dignified death.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.860)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.860) out of 10 for Newlands of Stow is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.860 for Newlands of Stow is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.86
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Newlands of Stow is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 25 registered maximum number of service users is 5, which has been reached with 11 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
