Newton House Care Home

I love it here. Great premises, love the cinema, entrance cafe and my room couldn't be better- I've painted pictures all my life. I am encouraged to do things but sadly learning all too quickly the effects of Dementia. Feed the birds, help plant plugs, take up exercises at every opportunity. I am aware of staff shortages but for the terrific work done by our staff to keep up standards expected of them, I demand that they are all recognised for their humanity as well as physical efforts under such stressful times.

The facilities, staff and care provided is to a very high standard. I am more than pleased with the way my mother is getting looked after and am confident that she is safe and in good hands.

So happy she is here and so well cared for.

Staff are also there in every way for relatives and families. Newton House Care Home is tidy and clean, well looked after.

Lovely setting. Very friendly, helpful staff. Rooms are lovely, and you are made to feel so welcome when visiting relatives.

I have found the staff very helpful and pleasant and as for the care and support I have no concern.

My grandmother has been a resident here for over a year and during this difficult time, she has received outstanding care from all the staff at Newton House. I would recommend this care home to anyone thinking of giving their relatives additional care.

I feel the ethos and atmosphere is one of care and concern for the residents. The staff go out of their way to make my mum's life happy and comfortable. The communication during the past year of COVID has been regular and informative and any news and updates as a result of new COVID guidelines has been punctual and detailed. The introduction of the relatives meeting has been an asset particularly during this time.

My dad became a resident of Newton House Care Home in November 2019. Dad had dementia (he passed away on 24/03/2021). Dad settled very quickly. Staff are friendly, the care home is spotless. The nurses are excellent and the rooms are immaculate. Dad was always clean-shaven and smartly dressed. When Dad became very ill in mid-March, my brother and I were allowed to sit with Dad in his room. Nothing was too much trouble for staff we had tea, lunches and anything we needed. Dad was treated with so much dignity. We could not have chosen a better care home for our dad.

My mum has been a resident in Newton House for eighteen months now. Having a loved one in a care home during the pandemic has been very difficult but I have had no concerns at all about Mum's care. The care home kept families up to date and with Zoom family meetings. Now visiting Mum she is always clean, smart and happy, I have nothing but praise for all the staff at Newton House.

I certainly would recommend Newton House.

My father recently moved into Newton House and has quickly settled in. On arrival, the staff took a detailed care plan with all my dad’s needs, requirements, hobbies and special interests. This gave me peace of mind that they were listening and interested in him as a person, which put my mind at ease. The staff are all very calm when dealing with the residents, helpful and professional. My dad likes a laugh and has a good sense of humour which the staff respond to. This is great as it helps with his mental health. I only have praise for the care he has received. We looked at many different care facilities (six in total) and whilst the staff in all of them seemed positive, the facilities available varied considerably. Newton was by far the best and this coupled with the “Homemaker” approach convinced us that this was the right place for my dad. We recently held an impromptu birthday party for him and the staff could not have been more helpful. Thanks to everyone concerned.

It has been a weight off the family's mind finding Newton House. The staff have been great and my dad has settled much quicker than we expected. He eats well, has put on the weight which he needed, he takes part in some activities when he feels like it and most importantly we know he is being cared for well. It is also good that they hold regular relatives' meetings so that our general queries can be put forward in an open setting.

My aunt has been a resident in Newton House several times now and I can't thank the team highly enough for the fantastic care she receives time and time again.

My Dad was a resident for a week for respite care and during this time, he was very well fed and attended to at all times. Newton House is a well run, spotless care home and the staff are amazing. I highly recommend Newton House and would be more than happy when the time comes for my Dad to become a permanent resident. Thank you so much for all the care and attention given.

Very homely atmosphere, always feel welcome and never like you are intruding. We, as a family are always kept informed regarding my Dads health and wellbeing and any changes to his physical health and also to his dementia.

This allows us to plan future respite and longer term care for her. Thank you to all the staff.

Concerned I had no personal alarm in case of fall.

My father has a rare form of dementia and complex needs. We were initially anxious about his move into long term care but Newton House went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly. He has been treated with dignity, patience and understanding even in difficult circumstances. The staff have taken the time to really get to know him well and are committed to providing care and support to the highest standard. The food is excellent and the home is well maintained.

Each and everyone always has a smile, a laugh and time to chat and you actually feel part of an extended family. For the first time in a long while, mum feels relaxed and, more importantly, content. It is very hard for an older person to give up their home and everything they have known but I can categorically say we have made the best decision in choosing Newton House.
