My mother was recently moved to the dementia unit and I was apprehensive about this decision, but am pleased to say this was the right move. The staff are all excellent, lovely and very caring. This was reinforced by my mum telling me, I needn't worry about leaving her there as all the 'girls' were lovely and took good care of her. I feel totally confident that she is receiving the best care possible. Thank you
I will cascade to the team.
Staff are lovely and helpful, kind about welcoming our family in, and we couldn't thank them enough. Laundry service could be improved.

Mum had a great stay, no issues. I visited every day, four - five times. She was very happy, the carers were excellent and Mum had a great stay. I would not hesitate to use Barchester Newlands Care Home again.

My lovely mum spent just short of two weeks at this lovely care home. She was treated very well. Looked after with dignity. The staff were lovely to deal with and nothing was a bother for them. The staff were very caring towards all my family during a hard time.

We have had a really positive experience since my grandfather arrived at Barchester Newlands Care Home. The staff are so kind and caring. The home itself is clean and the food is very good quality. We are really impressed so far with all the staff and the home itself.

My husband is very well cared for in Lakeland unit. He always looks very clean, nicely dressed and beautifully shaved. No complaints about his care whatsoever, the staff, without exception, are caring and very efficient. My only worry is now I am 80, I worry about the 84-mile round trip. With winter coming on, the drive will be more difficult. I hope he can get moved. It is only the distance, I don't think he can get better care anywhere. Thanks everyone.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review it is very much appreciated.
