My brother has been in the care of Newton House, firstly for respite and now for residential care for nearly 3 years. From day one they have all been caring and welcoming, whether they be nursing, house-keeping, administration, catering or maintenance, all acknowledge him and are happy to have a
chat with him. The communal areas are extremely comfortable and always decorated with the latest activity. Staff always keep me informed re any changes in treatment. I feel content that he is well cared for and safe.

The care my mother is receiving is excellent. The daytime activities are varied and she usually participates in these.The activities staff are brilliant. The meals and snacks are always lovely and she enjoys them. Over the last week though I think there has been a shortage of staff. But I am aware
there are issues throughout the country with carers. Overall the staff are fantastic from the kitchen laundry staff up to the nursing staff. Nothing is too much trouble. All your hard work is appreciated. Thank you.

Always busy, planning and doing activities. No one is left out. Integration of all residents to enable full participation, but understanding when residents need space or rest.
The staff know all residents by name and have time and care for them all.
Family and visitors are made to feel most
welcome at all times. Updates, chats and laughs a plenty.

Mum was poorly and had to go into hospital, she had such a lovely welcome when she came out.
I love coming to see Mum, she's always happy.

On announcing our care needs/support they were met and we were assured. When visiting with any pending questions there has been a senior member of staff who puts our minds at rest and answers question appropriatly. As were self funding once the funding come to an end the home staff contact social
services so she doesn't have to move out.

Our elderly father arrived at Newton House after losing his lifelong partner very suddenly whilst in a different care home. With nursing needs and subsequently diagnosed with vascular dementia; from my very first visit, everyone I met was always friendly, helpful and welcoming. The care shown to
my father was truly amazing, he was difficult and unwell but this never stopped anyone from supporting and nursing him. No matter how my father behaved or treated the staff, they were unfailingly cheerful and cared for him so well, Keeping him shaved and smart right to the last which was great comfort to the family.
If a visit was challenging, someone on the staff always noticed and offered support and understanding,
All of the staff welcomed any of us day or night, always with a smile, always supportive of us and so caring with my father, it was as close to being at home with your family as you can get. His passing was quiet and peaceful with our wishes as a whole family totally respected

I live in Cambridgeshire And whilst I would love my mum to be closer there is simply no other care home that could meet their standards.
Having been a nurse I appreciate the challenges dementia clients can bring.
I feel my
Mum is loved , cared for and every effort is made to engage her in the
plethora of activities on offer.
The activities team are on another level, they bring care, love and fun to every resident on a daily basis.
My mum was recently granted a wish to play football. It was a very special moment seeing mum not only receive her wish but to enjoy it so
Much. What you offer as a home is very precious , highly recommend.

My mum had to go into care after being diagnosed with dual dimentia . Although some days her condition can be challenging Newton staff are always kind and patient with her . She has found her room her safe place and is very comfortable in her surroundings. She loves going to get her hair done in
the salon and Katrina is excellent with all her customers .

My Mother became a resident of Newton House Grantham August 2024 from a Leicester Hospital with a limited life expectancy, due to the care, & support by the nursing staff & care team plus encouragement by the fabulous activity team, I'm happy to relay Mum is now enjoying life (September 2025) with
new friends, joining in daily activities within the home & outside excursions. Having her nail polished & regularly onsite hair appointments. Family have always been welcomed by staff when visiting, who always make time for visitors. I must also highlight the calm & friendly atmosphere in the Brownlow community.
10 July 2025
I found the staff very friendly and Professional from management and admin to nursing and the care team.
My Mother was there for respite care for a week and thoroughly enjoyed her time.
If I have one observation it is that whilst I was given brochures on first enquiring several months ago I had
to chase a couple of times to check details. I feel that admission information could be more comprehensive especially for first timers for example, how to ID mark clothing.
This is an observation not a complaint.
03 March 2025
Staff were extremely friendly, welcoming and very helpful.
There was a wide range of activities daily to suit varying interests and abilities available for residents to attend if they wanted to, staff did try and encourage this.
According to my mother the food was exceptional, she enjoyed every
meal.
Her room was always clean and tidy as were the lounges that I went into and corridors.
All in all a very pleasant experience, my mother enjoyed her stay. Thank you to a hard working dedicated staff team.

From the moment I walked in the doors, we were greeted by lovely staff. The home smelt nice and the furnishings are cosy. Mum said the meals were so good with plenty of variety each day. The one thing that stood out for me was the Entertainment. Absolutely outstanding and much fun. The staff are
amazing. Newton House has restored my faith in Care Homes. 5*.

I have been very happy with the care that Mum has received since moving into Barchester Newton House Care Home. She says the majority of staff are very patient and kind and she feels safe there.
The activity team have been amazing in ensuring that she has felt included as much as possible, even
though she is profoundly deaf and stays mostly in her room. They supported her wish to visit a garden centre and have got to know her hobbies and interests and help her communicate using a whiteboard. They have been incredibly supportive and understanding when I was anxious about going away and she told me their visits and hugs made her day, they are so patient and caring with the biggest smiles.
I have been to many care homes and this is definitely one of the best. It has a very welcoming atmosphere as soon as you walk in, can highly recommend it.

My mother, sadly, passed away in November after spending more than three and a half years at Barchester Newton House Care Home, it was a difficult decision to put Mum in a home but we couldn't have found a more loving and compassionate place for her to spend her last years. Dementia is a cruel
illness that robs the relatives of the person they once knew but to see your loved one happy and content in their world surrounded by such loving, caring professionals is, without doubt, the best care and attention we could have given Mum. The time we spent with her in the home was precious, she was always treated with the utmost respect and given the dignity every person should receive. We couldn't speak more highly of all the staff. The decision-making is hard but if you truly care for your loved one and are in need of a care home, look no further, there is nowhere better. All the staff actually care. Our grateful thanks for looking after Mum.

Went along to join in the sing-song followed by pin the nose on the snowman (blindfolded, of course).
The whole time was enjoyed by everyone there, judging by the smiles. Although I am not a resident myself, I can honestly say, I enjoyed myself too.
I find, on every visit, the atmosphere is a
happy one and staff are really helpful and kind.
My husband says meals are lovely too. A big thank you to everyone.
