I am pleased to say I have nothing bad to say about Newfield Lodge. As far as I know, they are very helpful in every way possible. Mum is missing the outings, but that is everybody. Let's hope we all get back to normal soon.

This is a very comfortable and friendly care home. The residents are very well cared for. The staff are all very caring and treat the residents with respect and dignity. Mum is not a person to take part in many activities but there seems to be a lot going on to keep the residents happy. I'm glad we
chose this home for our mum.

We are so pleased we chose this home for my mum who has dementia. They are very well organised with plenty happening for the residents. They are caring and look after them with regular hair and nail appointments but during the lockdown, the staff took it upon themselves to keep up with this. The home
has a lovely feel to it, it's welcoming and clean. Mum has made lots of new friends which is just what she needed. Being cared for is expensive but it's worth it.
Reply from Rebecca Selkirk, PR Executive at Newfield LodgeThank you so much for your review, we are so pleased to hear that your mum's move has been a positive experience for you all. We are very proud of our staff team, many of whom have been with us since our home opened, and we see lots of examples of them going above and beyond for their residents. Thank you again for the kind words which I shall be sure to pass on.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Depending on which staff are on caring duty, Mum feels happier and able to talk and confide in some. Mum complains a lot about the quality of food and how it is cooked. A regular service of newspaper delivery would be appreciated. As her daughter, I feel happy with her care and safety. Relations are
made to feel welcome and there is plenty to occupy residents if they wish to join in.
Reply from Rebecca Selkirk, PR Executive at Newfield LodgeThank you for taking the time to write this review. Feedback is very important to us. We are pleased you are happy with the quality of the care and activities on offer at Newfield Lodge. We have recently updated our menu and hope your Mum finds these meals more to her taste, and she is more than welcome to speak to our chef with any further requests.

I came to visit my friend who is very poorly. I was greeted warmly and was made a sandwich and a cup of tea. Everyone was really lovely. The home was beautiful and very clean and tidy. The gardens looked lovely, just a shame it was raining or we'd have been sat outside. I felt right at home.
Reply from Samantha Blair, Customer Care Advisor at Newfield LodgeThank you so much for taking the time to review our home. How lovely to hear of your visit to Newfield Lodge. We are so pleased that you felt welcome. We encourage friends and family to visit residents and I will ensure your kind comments are shared with the whole staff team.

Dementia staff poorly trained and general level of care for dementia residents woefully inadequate, high turn over of staff from line level to senior management.

My experience of Newfield Lodge is a very positive one. All staff are extremely caring, helpful and friendly and have a genuine concern for and interest in the residents they look after. The home itself is very well presented and is always clean and tidy. The food is of a high standard. There are also
many activities, trips out, etc available for the residents to enjoy.

My mother moved into Newfield Lodge in February of this year and we are very happy how she has settled in. The home is always fresh and clean, the carers are lovely. There is a good timetable of entertainment and activities which the staff do a brilliant job organising. The laundry service is excellent
clothes are laundered and returned to residents rooms correctly. Mum always has her own clothes. There is a clam comfortable atmosphere in the home. The inhouse hairdresser is fab and the regular chiropodist visits are great.

My mum has dementia. It was a hard decision to move her to a care home. Newfield Lodge has far exceeded my expectations in all aspects.
They provide excellent individualised care for mum given by wonderful staff who take pride in their job, in a safe and loving environment. We, as a family, have been
welcomed and supported by approachable and friendly staff. Mum has an amazing social life, good food and a fine quality of life.
Thank you to all the team.

All the staff and management care very deeply about their residents and the family members who visit them in Newfield Lodge. The rooms are clean, kept tidy and the food is provided by a National Award Winner and his team providing an excellent range of meal options to choose from.


The home provides

open days, regular events and a nativity play last Christmas, followed by "Grease the musical " in August 2018 which everyone enjoyed.


I chat to other residents besides my own family member creating an inclusive friendly atmosphere for all.

We were invited to your Italian 'pop-up' event which my father in law really enjoyed.
He is starting to enjoy the simpler sides of life and is much calmer.
Thank you for a great afternoon that we had the privilege to join in with.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.672)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.672) out of 10 for Newfield Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.672 for Newfield Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (198 Excellents x 5) + (57 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 271 Ratings = 4.672
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Newfield Lodge is based on 22 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
