The standard of care was outstanding. The staff showed Frank and our family so much empathy, compassion, and love. Frank was very happy living at Newford and was always treated with dignity and respect.
Nothing was ever too much trouble. The team went above and beyond to keep him comfortable, safe, and to bring him moments of happiness.
We will be forever grateful for the support and kindness shown to both Frank and our family. Knowing he was in such caring hands gave us such peace of mind.
Thank you to the whole team at Newford Nursing Home.
Hi Ian, Thank you for choosing Newford Nursing Home.
It has been an absolute pleasure to look after your dad and to know yourself and family. Your dad was an absolute credit to Newford Nursing home and will be deeply missed by all!
Best wishes,Newford Nursing Home
In summary, I am very happy with the care and attention received by my wife.
Thank you for your kind words and your views on how we cater to the individual needs of our service users. We are pleased to see that the efforts of our staff have not gone unnoticed and that the celebrations that we have are enjoyed by everybody else as much as they are by us!
I can recommend Newford without hesitation.
Thank you for your kind words. We have been putting a lot of effort into our maintenance programme over the past two years so we are pleased to see that this has not gone unnoticed. Our activities staff are also working hard to accommodate the mixed hobbies of all of our service users and we are...
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.
Thank you for your kind words. We are proud of our knitting circle, although sometimes we do feel that more chatting and tea drinking gets done than knitting! We are happy to encourage the hobbies of our service users, whether these be old hobbies that they are trying once more or completely new hobbies that they are trying for the first time.
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.
Thank you for your kind words - we do our best to promote independence and provide care that is person-centred. The activities team have been with us for many years and always have an array of activities planned for the entire year, where they tend to theme activities around days of interest. We...
I have nothing but praise for the home, they care for the residents as if they were family, and that is how it feels when you walk in, everyone is friendly, you feel welcomed and listened to. Mum's care has been impeccable, she is so happy and comfortable, she has made friends, loves the staff and never complains about anything.
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.
Thank you for your kind words of praise. We are happy to hear that you hold us in such high esteem and your compliments will be passed on to all the staff.
After visiting five different settings that were “ok” I walked into Newford and has already been said immediately felt, “ this place is really good”. My instincts didn’t let me down, this place is really good, in fact, it’s excellent in every regard. The team are first class in their attentiveness and the caring, catering, activity and house duty staff follow that example.
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!
Thank you for your extremely kind comments, it is a pleasure to look after your Dad.
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.
This is a lovely, glowing review. Thank you for your kind words.
When we enter the home we are welcomed and immediately feel like part of the bigger family! We have such a lovely time with her when we visit her which we all enjoy and come away feeling happy and knowing she is in the best place for her! Peace of mind!
The home is very clean and tidy.
The staff are always happy and friendly and make us welcome.
The Home Manager obviously has the residents' and staff interests paramount in the home.
My auntie looks forward to spending time with her friends and joining in all the activities. She loves having her hair done every week as she did before she came into the home.
Thank you to all the staff for your hard work and what you do for my auntie.
Your auntie has well and truly fit in here as part of the family and part of the furniture! Thank you for your kind comments.
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.
Thank you for the review. We hope to keep you updated with our activities as much as we possibly can, and are glad to have good relationships with families such as yourselves.
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.
Your Mum and all the other service users definitely enjoyed the tennis. Here's to many more! Thank you for the review.
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
It is a pleasure to have your Mum with us in her twilight. Thank you Alan.
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.
Thanks, A H for your kind words. We love to have some banter with service users, as well as a dance when able! And a centenary in our care, what an honour that we only have every so often.
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.
Maralyn, thank you so much for your kind words. Your mum was indeed a joy to have in our care, and your recommendation means everything.
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.
The place is immaculate, they are always cleaning. They have decorated numerous times, always painting, new carpets, they decorate the walls, they have a nursery section, also a vintage corner.
Your relative would be in excellent care in this facility.
The range of activities is impressive, to say the least. The staff are constantly looking at different ways to stimulate their service users with activities including seated exercise classes, gardening, baking, sensory activities, art and crafts and aromatherapy to name but a few. In addition to numerous, planned outings, regular visiting singers, speakers and their own "in house" entertainment, the residents are very well catered for.
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.
