Set in the historic market town of Sturminster Newton, Newstone House brings together residential, nursing and dementia care within a home designed to adapt to people's changing needs. Thoughtfully arranged into smaller household communities, it offers specialist support while maintaining a relaxed and familiar atmosphere where residents can continue living life in ways that feel comfortable.
Each household has its own character, creating spaces where neighbours become familiar faces and daily routines unfold at a pace that suits the people who live there. Bright communal areas, peaceful gardens, a welcoming café and cinema provide opportunities to spend time together while allowing room for quieter moments and personal choice.
Residents are encouraged to continue enjoying the interests that bring happiness, whether taking part in creative activities, sharing time with loved ones, enjoying community events or relaxing in a favourite spot. For those living with dementia, carefully designed surroundings promote confidence, independence and familiarity while supporting changing needs with sensitivity.
An experienced team provides care with warmth, professionalism and continuity, building trusted relationships with residents and those closest to them. As part of the award-winning Colten Care group, recognised as the 2025 National Care Award winner for Medium-Sized Provider and a carehome.co.uk Top 20 Group for 11 consecutive years, Newstone House combines trusted expertise with the distinctive character of its setting. Thoughtful hospitality, freshly prepared meals and beautifully maintained surroundings help everyday life feel reassuringly familiar.

As a family we were faced with some devastating news and had to make the decision to put my dear mum into respite care. I didn't know where to start so I rang Newstone House at 11 am and by 4pm the same day my mum was settled into her new room. The welcome she was given was over whelming, she has been there 5 weeks now and says she is staying forever so that's the plan. I cannot praise the staff enough. Each and everyone of them are so special nothing is too much trouble, they go over and above any expectations, they all work so hard and keep smiling. I thank them all from the bottom of my heart.
Excellent home, if it was located near the coast and had sea views then I would book myself in when the time came for me to have care! I have no complaints and keep up the good work! p.s. you do need a new coffee machine as it keeps breaking down!

Thank you for your review - the coffee machine has been checked and is now in full working order.
