My mother has been resident in Newcross Care Home for just over two years and during that time we have had no reason to complain about her care. The staff are very good and friendly and the facility excellent. During her time she has been taken out on trips to theatre, shops etc. There is also regular
entertainment within the home.

The staff are very friendly and caring. My mom is well cared for always clean and seems happy. The home is warm and welcoming, bright with never any odours. Due to lack of staff at times requests sometimes take time to be implemented, but eventually gets done. I feel my mom could not be card for in
a more caring or dignified manner than here. Whenever I call I feel part of their community.

My mother is very happy here and cannot fault any of her care or how very pleasant and helpful the members of staff are. I would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone who asks.

The staff have been extremely caring and thoughtful in the two and a half years she has been a resident. When she first arrived she settled quickly and was happy. She enjoyed the company and taking part in the many and varied activities. We sometimes felt that she was happier than she had been at home
alone as she enjoyed the company. She especially enjoyed helping in the garden. Since she has ben confined to bed they keep her clean and well fed.

The standard of care received by my grandma, was nothing but exemplary. The staff were extremely compassionate, understanding and would always massively exceed expectations which was crucial at such a difficult time in my grandmas life. In September 2015 my grandma took a turn for the worse, and it
was in her last moment that we really saw how fantastic Newcross Care Home was, having had experience of many other care homes in my professional and personal capacity. My grandma passed away feeling nothing but loved, cared for, and cherished by not only her family, but also by all members of staff.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.863)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.863) out of 10 for Newcross Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.863 for Newcross Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (379 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 432 Ratings = 4.863

  • b) 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 Newcross Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 36 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 36 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Beverley Aldridge

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2019

Hello, my name is Beverley, and I am delighted to be the Home Manager here at Newcross.


I have 40 years of experience within the healthcare sector and have achieved qualifications such as the Management level 4 Registered Manager's Award. Working in residential and nursing settings, my previous roles have been as an Operations Manager and a Nurse.


Within this time, I have shared many treasurable moments with the residents I have had the pleasure to meet along the way. One proud moment that has stayed with me throughout my career was when I was able to reunite one of my residents with their brother, who had lost contact and not seen each other for 15 years. To their surprise, they found out they had only been living a few miles apart the whole time.


I would best describe myself as someone who is very outgoing, warm and welcoming and always wanting the best for the home. I pride myself in providing a high-quality service to all residents ensuring they receive an exceptional level of care and have a fun, enjoyable life here at Newcross Care Home. In my spare time, I enjoy going on holiday, meeting with friends for meals out and spending time with my family.


Avery Healthcare, owners of Newcross, strives to be the best in care, providing high-quality services whilst offering its best support to managers and staff. Our home is truly unique as it reflects Birmingham’s rich cultural heritage with our diverse and happy community.


I look forward to welcoming you to Newcross.
