Review from Beryl T (Friend of Resident) published on 4 September 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My friend has been a resident since late last year. I definitely think the care has improved in the last 6 months. When my friend was admitted no rehab seemed available so he very quickly became unable to walk and then bedridden. The staff have always been very kind to him and he always appears clean
and comfortable as possible.

Review from Dawn B (Wife of Resident) published on 29 November 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My husband spent 10 months as a resident in Newton House. He was always showed dignity and respect and we grew to treat Newton House as our home. I spent 6 hours a day with my husband and the staff, sometimes working under great pressure, always found the time to give support to both me and my husband.
The nursing care at the end was second to none and I will be extremely grateful to Newton House.

Review from Fiona H (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
'Barchester Newton House Care Home' staff have provided an exceptional service for my mother. Staff nurses and care assistants have demonstrated a kind, compassionate and diligent approach towards my mother at all times and during what has been a difficult time, they have gone the extra mile in trying
to make my mother comfortable now she is at the end of her life. I have been deeply touched by the high levels of professionalism shown and the genuine kindness of these caring and committed workers. Day time staff such as the staff nurses have also shown these amazing qualities not to mention the cleaners and kitchen staff. I am and will remain eternally grateful for this group of dedicated staff and take comfort for knowing good people who have looked after my mother so well.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was extremely poorly and since being in this wonderful place has put over a stone in weight on. The meals are fantastic and a choice too. The place is very welcoming, in fact home from home. Bedroom is comfortable and always kept clean. Clothes are regularly laundered and I am 100% happy with
the care. Also various activities bring residents close together.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.723)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.723) 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 23 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 4.810 for Barchester Newton House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (221 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 269 Ratings = 4.81
  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 4.913 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Newton House Care Home is based on 23 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. 23 Positive Reviews ÷ 25.2 = 0.913
  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.
