I am very happy with the social events put on for the residents of the home. The staff are always very helpful, cheerful and willing to answer any of my queries if possible. The home seems very well run and clean. My friend is very happy and content and now thinks of Newton House as his new home. I
am also pleased that the management keeps me informed of my friend's health when necessary.

During this difficult time (Covid-19) I have been very reassured that my mother continues to receive excellent care. Really valued the facetime calls - shame they are not more frequent.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law has been here for nearly 2 years and we couldn't be happier with the care she has received. The rooms are kept clean and she is in constant contact with the staff who endeavour to make sure she has what she needs. The food is very good, never a complaint.
The activity team ensures
she is informed of what is happening in the home if she would like to join in. There are also day trips out on occasions.

My Mother is in a pleasant room. The staff here are all very friendly and caring. My Mother needs all care and needs a lot of encouragement to eat and drink, which the staff seem happy to give and they are always happy to answer my questions we may have. Overall we would say this is a very good nursing
home.

My Dad has been a resident in Newton House Care Home for almost 5 years. When he arrived he would enjoy walking around the home and looking at everything on display and was also allowed to touch. He always enjoyed the entertainment and couldn't wait to join in with the singing and dancing. Sadly for
the past year, he is now bedridden and has to have everything done for him. Every time the staff attend to him, his face lights up. He is still happy.

Staff, especially two, in particular, have been so good to mum at this very hard time. They have done everything to keep her comfortable and family informed and wishes taken into account. The manager has also given time and when needed to, ensure plans and processes run smoothly. Nice atmosphere as
yu enter and visitors café area near the entrance is so important for having breaks when visiting.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.453)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.453) out of 10 for Barchester Newton House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 17 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 4.778 for Barchester Newton House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (156 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 198 Ratings = 4.778
  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 4.675 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Newton House Care Home is based on 17 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 126 registered maximum number of service users is 25.2. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 25.2 = 0.675
  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.
