We had to move mum into a full-time cave tome as her dementia had worsened. We were recommended Newbridge House by two different families. They both spoke very highly about everything. Mum has now been resident for three months. We can only speak as we find and can honestly say that we are really pleased
with absolutely everything. Every single member of staff bar NONE are truly wonderful. Mum has struggled to come to terms with living in a home but the patience and kindness shown to her means everything to us. Mum has settled thanks to everyone at Newbridge House so massive gratitude to all there.

My Dad has settled well. He is well cared for, always well presented and clean. He enjoys the food and there is a good daily routine. Dad is encouraged to stay in the communal lounge but often goes to his room to rest when he needs to. All of his medical care and concerns are self with by the home,
however, communication is good and we are kept informed either on our regular visits or by phone.

Dad has been a resident of Newbridge House since March following a fall, a spell in hospital and a worsening of his Alzheimer's.
The Manager and her team have shown total compassion and care to not only my Dad, but to our whole family. Their wealth of experience and understanding and have made this
incredibly difficult transition more bearable for us all. They keep us fully informed of Dad's condition and are continually offering advice and support.
Dad is always fresh and clean and his clothes are well cared for. Newbridge is well maintained and is constantly being cleaned and always smells fresh. The food is excellent and Dad looks forward to mealtimes. Having the Doctors Surgery next door is ideal and they provide a weekly ward round for residents.
Every member of staff that we have seen are cheerful and polite and radiate a sense of truly caring about the residents. Nothing ever seems to be too much trouble.
We couldn't wish for better love and care for Dad.

My father was an emergency admittance. From the start staff were attentive and accommodating. His room was clean and bright and he was very well looked after. Good food, assistance with medication and hygiene. During father's 2 month stay his health and demeanour improved significantly. All thanks to
the dedicated team of staff at Newbridge House. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a family, we searched many care homes for a place that would meet my mom's needs and care for her as we would wish. From the moment we stepped inside Newbridge house we knew that this was the place that my mom who had Alzheimer's would be looked after with the greatest care. My mom was a resident
from the end of May 24 till she passed away at the end of August 24 the care and compassion shown by the staff were outstanding from the very first moment. Her room was lovely and clean and felt like home which is what we wanted, the staff are all long-term and are so friendly and wonderful. When my mom was sadly in the end of life Newbridge House went above and beyond to make her final days comfortable and they helped us as a family looking after us as well, so we could stay by mom's side till the end.
We will be forever grateful to them for their exemplary care. Newbridge House is wonderful and we would recommend it a thousand times over. Two staff members in particular and all the staff are fantastic.

My mother arrived at Newbridge in June this year after becoming ill and unable to care for herself. She had been very reluctant to live in a care home, so it is with immense relief and gratitude that I write this review. My mom looks well-fed, clean and cared for. The staff are excellent, very friendly
and supportive of the whole family, they keep us fully informed. The home itself is very clean, and cheerful and offers a lot of activities for residents who wish to take part. On my last visit, my mom was more concerned with not missing her dinner, which she was looking forward to than me saying goodbye. She seems content, which is a credit to the home.

Mum moved to Newbridge as her Alzheimers was worsening. I have visited many care homes in this area, and as an ex-carer, I have a massive insight into what I am likely to find, and what's acceptable and inevitable. I have never seen a care home this good. The layout of the home means that the carers
can always watch the residents, very special, and the staff are simply amazing. Since Mum moved in she finally smells clean, including her hair and her teeth are being cleaned. Extremely unusual in care homes. There is an activity program each morning and afternoon, singing, exercises, bingo etc. Full of energy and enthusiasm the ladies get everyone smiling and moving. Mum raves about the food, and she has gained some much-needed weight at last. As an ex-carer, I can't believe how lucky we were to find Newbridge. Also, the initial phone call with the manager was amazing as I was upset and stressed and she was full of information and advice. No other homes I visited even compared.

As a family, we cannot thank the team enough for the exceptional care given to our mum. Because of the expert help and care she had she is now able to return home, be independent and be even stronger physically and mentally than before. We will be forever grateful and we cannot recommend them enough.
Every member of the team takes time to care for each of the residents treating them with the dignity and respect they deserve. Not sure how we are going to keep up the excellent menus and food options.

My mum went into respite for 10 days in June, so the family could have a break. She settled in well and thoroughly enjoyed her time there (especially the food) All the staff were lovely, very thoughtful, friendly and compassionate. If my mum needs to go to respite again I wouldn't hesitate her going
to Newbridge House.

Our mom has resided at Newbridge House since June this year. I cannot thank the manager and all the staff here enough. They are sincere, caring, helpful and understand Mom's needs. She has settled in so well and I believe she now considers Newbridge House her home, which relieves the guilt and anxiety
we all feel. Mom is always saying how lovely everyone is and that the meals are great. This is a cruel disease, but the service from everyone at Newbridge House helps no end. She loves the activities, especially when there's music involved, and she starts showing off her dancing skills. She is safe and secure.

My Mother has been a resident here since March 2022. During this period the staff have been friendly, caring and supportive to her and the family whenever we visit. She is well-fed, has made friends and is comfortable in the environment. There is regular enrichment for residents and families are encouraged
to participate in fundraising activities and fun days. We made the right choice for Mom when faced with the difficult decision that we could no longer care for her ourselves.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.950)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.950) out of 10 for Newbridge House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.950 for Newbridge House is calculated as follows: ( (340 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 358 Ratings = 4.95
  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 Newbridge House is based on 30 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 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
    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 31 registered maximum number of service users is 6.2, which has been reached with 30 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.
