Newford Nursing Home

Thank you to the whole team at Newford Nursing Home.

In summary, I am very happy with the care and attention received by my wife.

I can recommend Newford without hesitation.

My relative had to change from a residential care home to a nursing home a few months ago following a fall, and after looking and visiting a few nursing homes we made the decision on Newford as we felt due to its size and homely feel that it would suit her needs. It has not failed in our expectations. My relative settled in well and always looks well cared for. She enjoys taking part in daily different activities, enjoys her weekly session with the home's hairdresser and has even taken up knitting again for the first time in over 20 years! I am happy to recommend this home.

In the summer we joined an organised outing. We had some problems but the carer and her team were on hand and professionally took over sorting the situation quickly, we were relieved and very impressed. Regularly we have timetables of activities arranged for the residents. Originally viewing the home our 'gut instinct was good, it was heart-wrenching to do but knew it was the right and only decision. We know Mum is in a safe and caring environment giving us peace of mind. We have no hesitation in recommending this home.

It is really difficult to place a parent/relative in a care home but knowing that mum is happy and safe takes the weight off. The food is tremendous the activities are incredible and I think it should be used as a benchmark for other homes to follow.

Mum has settled really well. That is solely down to Newford nursing home and its staff. Thank you to every one of you there.

We got a good feeling about Newford from the very first visit. Within 2 days of Dad moving in, he was like a different person, he's very settled and the staff are extremely patient and very, very caring, it's lovely to see. I live close to the home and pop in on a regular basis and always find a happy atmosphere. The nursing care is excellent, Dad is kept clean and smart and any medical issues are spotted very quickly. Unfortunately, dad can't participate in the many activities available but there is plenty on offer and I love the small, themed lounges and the memorabilia that is displayed throughout. I wouldn't wish that dad was anywhere else!

As a family we have always found the staff at Newford approachable, helpful, ready to listen, caring, compassionate and willing to go that extra mile. We had viewed other nursing homes, with dismay. As soon as we walked into Newford we knew it was the one. It was clean and fresh, with a great atmosphere. I would not hesitate to recommend Newford.

Thank you to all the staff for your hard work and what you do for my auntie.

My nan is well looked after, she always looks clean and tidy, her room is always clean and tidy, and the home itself always looks clean and tidy. The meals I've seen are very good homemade and fresh. The staff are fantastic they keep me up to date with regard to my nan. The activities are very good, from bingo to animals coming in and visiting the home.

I can not recommend Newford nursing home enough, fab all round. Thank you.

My mum is so happy at Newford and although it took her a while to integrate, with the help of the staff she seems to be enjoying all the activities (especially I believe balloon tennis! As I can’t visit mum often I am able to call and speak to her and also get an update from the nursing staff which is reassuring. Thank you, everyone.

Since my mother came to live in Newford it has given her a new lease of life. She is cared for to a high standard. All her needs are met with friendliness and understanding. I couldn’t wish for a better environment for mum to spend the twilight of her life. Thank you Newford

I used to visit my friend at Newford Nursing Home. I had known her for a few years as I used to go to her house. She never really wanted to go into a home as she was so strong and independent but at the same time didn't want to worry her family by being home alone. She settled in well and always had a good banter with the staff which was amazing. She celebrated her 100th birthday there. I would ask her what her secret to a long and happy life was and she would say laughter and honesty. Staff were always lovely when I visited. I used to tell her if a nursing job came up I'd love to work there! Lovely atmosphere, something going on all of the time with a variety of activities and just a lovely feel about the place. Forever grateful to the staff for making my friend feel so settled.

My mum had the best possible care in Newford Nursing Home. We as a family could not have wished for better care for a loved one. All the staff are wonderful, nothing was too much trouble either in caring for Mum, or keeping the family up to date with my mum's needs. The bedrooms are spotless, never once did we find Mum unwashed or without clean clothes. The food is varied and nutritious, there’s also lots of entertainment to occupy the residents. The staff care, really care. My mum loved her tunes on her radio, the girls would sing along with her, they said she was a joy to care for. Unfortunately, my mum passed away 6 weeks ago, she was 93 and had had a good life, and two of the wonderful staff were with her when she passed. Two lovely young carers also attended her funeral, which goes to show how much they care, and as a family we really appreciated it. We would have no hesitation in recommending Newford Nursing Home for your loved ones.

Both my grandparents are at Newford and I believe they are both cared for and looked after by the lovely staff. They arrange in-house entertainment as well as going out in the community visiting local places. They provide a variety of meals and there is always staff around to help. Thank you for everything you do for my Nana and Grandad please continue with your good work.

Your relative would be in excellent care in this facility.

The building has a very simple layout, with light, wide passage ways and with all facilities on one level, enabling easy access to the outside garden and seating areas.
