All staff are so kind and careing and yet so proffessional. My mother has been looked after so well; it is greatly appreciated.
At the end of the day it is all down to the staff, and they have been fantastic.
Thank you!

My mother is being looked after with immense kindness and expertise. Staff are unfailingly cheerful and professional and always have time for her, giving her exceptional care. Thank you.

My mother was cared for at Newstone House for 2 1/2 years. For most of this time she was relatively active and she was able to take part in activities in the home which she enjoyed. She was ill several times during this period and was always well looked after. She became ill in August and after 10
days in hospital had almost 2 weeks at Newstone before she died. The care for her and the family during that 2 weeks was amazing - we are so grateful.

All members of staff our kind friendly and they work as a team across the home.
Always professional
My mum is very
happy here which is the most important thing.

My mother-in-law had a short stay (2 1/2 weeks). We were very happy with the care and all the support staff who help to make this home excellent. It is very homely but has 5 star hotel services including the laundry services and excellent food. There are some very good activities for the residents.
We were looked after too. We live 300 miles away, but felt very reassured about the care, including some nursing tasks (dressings) were all carried out to a high standard.

Our experience of Newstone House has always been excellent. My mother is extremely well looked after in every aspect of her life.

What an excellent care home! We needed an emergency respite service for Mum after her fall and two days in A&E/hospital. The staff team pulled out all the stops to get Mum assessed, organised and installed all within a few hours. The focus of attention was Mum and meeting all her needs. The team
also ensured we were well looked after. The home has been outstanding!

Newstone House has been a fantastic haven for my mother. She has blossomed in her time here. The staff are all wonderful and caring. The food is excellent and the entertainment is varying.
17 December 2025
The home is immaculate with a very comfortable hotel-style reception area - leading out to spacious and extremely clean rooms. There is a varied menu - the food is first class and beautifully presented. We have found every staff member, regardless of position, to be kind, courteous, friendly and
always extremely helpful. Any minor problems have been immediately rectified. A Parkinson's patient requires a regular to live to, which is applied here - keeping my husband happy and stress free.

My mother has now been a permanent resident in Newstone House for four and a half years, having previously spent many respite breaks there which enabled her to get to know the home and vice-versa. She has recently moved upstairs to the home's dedicated dementia care floor where there are plenty of
activities to keep the residents stimulated with, for example, minibus trips out and visiting musicians, which my mother especially likes. The staff will always go the extra mile - in my mother's case it was taking her swimming. Whenever I visit I always feel welcome and should I have any concerns they can be raised and addressed there and then. My mother is happy there and I know that she is safe and being looked after which is a weight off my mind as I get no younger.

Staff are always very helpful + friendly. Everywhere is very clean when you walk around the home. Food is excellent. And various activities for the residence to participate in. Always feel my mother in law is being excenly care for.

My wife having been in Newstone for a year now finds all the staff extremely helpful and a well organised home with plenty of activities to keep residents active.
09 July 2025
My mum was only at Newstone House for four months but in that time the care she received there was absolutely outstanding. All the staff were so kind and caring, treating mum with great dignity especially in her final days as well as taking great care of us, her family, too. I cannot express in
words how grateful I am to all who looked after her during her time there. This is a very special place and I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone looking for the right place for their loved one.
30 June 2025
I can't praise too highly for the warm, professional and friendly care given to my wife and also to me. I am 100% confident that my wife is in the right place without exception every member of staff is A1! I am delighted by the sensitivity/safety measures of the home.

My Mum was cared for at Newstone for 14 months.
She was in late stages of Alzheimer's, with barely any mobility so she required a lot of nursing care and Newstone staff were simply incredible. Mum was so well cared for , the personal care and social care were excellent , food was of a high
standard and nothing was too much trouble
I visited several times most weeks so feel I had a fair insight into the running of the Home.
I would be very confident to recommend Newstone to any family trying to select a Care Home for their elderly relative.

I was very pleased to be able to spend four weeks in Newstone House recovering from a total hip replacement. The staff were very friendly, helpful and caring. The food was delicious and the residents were very friendly. I enjoyed the daily programme of events and the outings looked interesting but I
wasn't able to partake in them. I had some friends round for afternoon tea and we were catered for admirably.
24 September 2024
Excellent care and good attention to needs. Sometimes in the busy mornings and evenings staff are very busy and need more help, but they are all very kind and look after me well.
There is a wide variety of enjoyable activities to choose from every day. I enjoy the singing, quizzes, artwork, and a
mix of nice characters to talk to. There are regular outings, in the minibus, which makes a nice change.
