Reviews for Newington Court Care Home

"We are always met with a smile. Food is good. Nan always looks very well looked after. Although she needs more help now, they are always at hand to help. They brought an entertainer to play in her room and that was nice to see. Thank you."

"I am very happy with the care my husband receives. The staff are really good with him and understand the complexity of his condition. There is a lovely atmosphere in the home and I am happy to leave him in their care. I visit every day and the staff make me very welcome. My husband is receiving NHS funding so I have no comment on value for money."

"Mum was only at Newington Court for 2 weeks. However she was quickly treated as "one of the family". Her death was handled with caring and dignity. We, the family, were always warmly welcomed, it was a comfort to know she was being so well looked after."

"Dad spent the last six months of his life in the care of Newington Court. At all times family members were welcomed with Mum visiting Dad daily. Newington Court provided a homely environment for Dad with kind and patient nurses and care workers looking after him when he was at his most vulnerable. The staff extended their kindness to Mum during her daily visits which was greatly appreciated as she has dementia too. We feel fortunate to have found such a high standard of care with a homely environment on our doorstep."

"My mum came to this home in October 2016. Since my mum has been here all the staff who have treated my mum are lovely, they have helped get her settled. All the carers and nurses on floor one are very caring with my mum's needs. All the nurses are outstanding."

"I visited today Newington Court and was very happy with the care and support I saw. I have not visited many care homes but this feels more like a hotel than a care home. The food that was being served looked great and I loved the fact that residents were having a glass of wine."

"I have always found the regular staff to be very welcoming to residents and families in a very caring and professional manner. Although at times things are stressful the staff deal with matters promptly and discreetly. We are kept informed of any problems and our views are always considered. When looking for homes for Mum, this was by far one of the best. 'A home from home'."

"I'm very happy with the care given to Mum. The staff are good with mum and keep us informed about any problems. I would hope that if I ever needed to live in a home, it would be as this home is."

"The care home generally look after Mum's personal hygiene, food, medication needs very well. I find it disappointing that there is no internet or direct phone as with dementia I would find it very helpful to keep Mum visually in touch with her extended family. Care can vary from person (carer) to carer. Generally, Mum is settled and very happy could do with more organised activities."

"I feel that Falcon Place needs to install the Internet and another phone line as this is invaluable when continuity of care is so important for the residents."

"Mum was very agitated when she first arrived, her tablets were reviewed by the doctor with help from the carer and the situation improved. After Mum had an operation for breast cancer, the carer arranged a district nurse to change the dressing when the breast care nurses were unavailable. Also very caring when her appetite diminished trying to find things to tempt her. Another review of tablets then occurred when she was having trouble swallowing her tablets. She is now much more relaxed and happy within herself and I am able to take her out more. Each time we return she is always greeted with smiles and kind words which make such a difference. Carers could not be kinder."

"Staff friendly and very caring. All aspects of care taken into consideration - health and mental well-being and social needs. My relative became a resident in March 2017 and at this point, could not walk, had lost weight and incontinent. Now 4 months later, the care home has facilitated walking, weight is now normal and toilet needs are reasonably independent. The turn around in the resident's health and well-being has been a marvel and due to the care undertaken at this care home."

"Mum had been in a care home in South London, which whilst charging 50% more than Newington Court, was the polar opposite to their attitude to residents. We cannot praise the staff enough, who in our opinion looked after our mother almost like she was their own. Please pass on our immense gratitude to them for making the last few months of our Mum’s life more bearable."

"All staff at Newington Court are friendly, kind and considerate, not just to the residents but to family members too. The nurses are all helpful and very professional. Since Mum has been in here she has been looked after with great care and consideration. The atmosphere in the home is lovely. My only concern is the lack of staff on the second floor. Particularly during the afternoon. Most residents on this floor need hoisting. If several buzzers are pressed at once it is very difficult for the staff and also unfair to both residents and staff."

"My dad was admitted to Newington Court swiftly and was warmly welcomed. He has now been there for two weeks and has settled in very well indeed. The staff are lovely to him and also to my mother and I when we visit. The food is excellent and the "Memory Lane" environment seems therapeutic to all the patients. The staff are well-informed about dad's condition and very helpful about providing information to the family. I am very impressed with the standards maintained there."

"All of the staff at Newington Court have been friendly, helpful and supportive to my father and all of his visitors every time we have visited (ie every day). This has been true of cleaners, nurses, administrators, all the way through the organisation. They have always met the challenges of their roles with a smile, a good heart and a caring, professional attitude. I don't think we could have asked for better."

"We had to find Residential Dementia care for my Mother when my Father, who had been her carer suddenly passed away. My sister and I had no idea what to look for, what questions to ask, didn't know any processes, it was a new situation to the both of us. We looked at quite a few places, but Falcon Place stood out as being right for her. The staff were amazing, answering all our questions, (no matter how many!) helping us through the process and making things happen quickly and smoothly. Mum is safe and stimulated now, with a small, very caring team looking after her. Making the decision for Mum to have 24-hour care was a very difficult one, but the team at Falcon/Newington have made it as easy as it's likely to be."

"Having become almost totally immobile, my mother became a resident here in April 2018. I have been pleasantly surprised how quickly Mum has become settled here, after leaving her home of 65 years. My brother and I have both visited her several times most weeks and almost always find her in good spirits. She has a good rapport with the staff who soon got to know her preferences. After lunch she likes nothing better than to be transferred to her favourite armchair by the window. She also likes to spend an hour or so in the garden when the weather permits."

"My Aunty was only as Newington Court for a very short period of time but she loved it there. Her care was second to none, they took her out on day trips and made her last days as happy and comfortable as possible."

"My husband has been a resident for 15 months, arriving extremely thing, frightened and confused, From the outset the staff were patient and understanding, so gradually he settled and became calm and comfortable. In addition, my husband gained weight and is now back to his correct weight. He is always treated with respect and dignity, they are aware of his foibles and preferences and ensure his individuality is preserved."

"This facility is blessed with truly amazing people, carers, nurses, activity, admin, housekeeping, maintenance and chefs. The quality of care mum received was unbelievable, nothing was ever too much trouble. She was always treated with dignity and respect by everybody involved in her care. She thought it was like a wonderful hotel, with happy, friendly staff, she loved it. On mum's passing, the staff shared in my loss with heartfelt compassion. It meant so much to me, I will not forget that."

"This review relates to Falcon Lodge. Most impressive is the quality of care given by staff at the lodge. They are all so very good and the way visitors are treated, like myself, could not be better. The premises is always clean and the bedroom is immaculate."

"My wife came to the home via hospital and had a terminal illness. Also, the home was recommended to the family and I am pleased to report that we were not disappointed. The home itself was excellent and the facilities in my wife's room were beyond reproach. The staff were very caring and helpful and made my wife's short stay, before her passing, as comfortable as possible. For my part, I was treated with respect and care. The refreshment facilities for visitors were excellent. I would have no problem in recommending this home."

"Nurses and carers are always on hand whatever time you visit, day or night. They always keep the family well informed of any changes made to resident's care and reasons. Management is happy to talk at any time if they were needed and helpful receptionists. My husband could not be in better hands. I can leave him after a visit knowing he is well cared for and in a happy environment. Barchester Newington Court Care Home does feel like a family home, lots of laughs and banter amongst staff and residents although we all know what a really tough job caring for people can be. The staff have to meet and deal with so many different residents' needs. I have, over time, spent many hours at Newington Court and they do now feel like family to me. I feel so pleased and lucky to have my beloved husband in such a home."

"Mum was very poorly when she came to Barchester Newington Court Care Home. They have nursed her back to health with their care and support, so much so, she has been able to return to her own home. The staff threw a lovely surprise afternoon tea party (to which my sister, brother and I were invited) before she left and was also given some lovely gifts. We can't thank Newington Court enough for taking such good care of Mum."

"I speak for all my family in saying just how wonderful the care has been for my dad who has been in Newington Court since last year. Whilst the personal care given to my dad by the staff is exemplary, the emotional connections that the staff have made with Dad and the way they genuinely care for him as a person go beyond what we could have hoped. It really feels as though Dad is being cared for by an extended family and God bless you all at Newington Court for that."

"Our family have been very pleased with the care Mum has received whilst at Newington Court. All the staff have been friendly, helpful, courteous, professional and work as a team. They certainly go the extra mile to ensure the residents have the best care. Mum was initially reluctant to take part in any activities and socialising but the staff gradually succeeded in her becoming involved in activities, having her hair done, sitting in the dining room and even trips out for lunch and the cinema. The interior of Newington Court is very comfortable, tasteful and homely. The bedrooms are a good size and well furnished. Perhaps an extra surface or table would have been useful but you can take in extra furniture if needed. As our visits involved a lot of travelling, a cafe area enabling us to have a hot drink and cake was very much appreciated."

"We placed my dad in the care of Newington Court Care Home when his cancer progressed and he could not stay at home anymore. The care my dad received was outstanding. Every staff member went above and beyond to make sure my dad was looked after and comfortable. His room was kept clean at all times. My dad's personal care was always exceptional and all meals served were of a high standard. Unfortunately, we lost my dad to cancer while he was in the care home. I can not thank the staff enough for all the help and understanding they showed at this difficult time. When you go into the home everyone is always smiling and always activities for the residents if they wish to join in."

"I find all the carers at Falcon Place to be very attentive and exceptionally caring. They all go the extra mile. A very good team. We are always informed of any little concerns and are happy to update me when I telephone to check how my loved one is. When we visit, on our weekly visits, always say the girls/carers are "so kind"! So reassuring to me and my family."

"My relative is being cared for at Newington Court. She receives the most fantastic care. Every time we visit, she is always clean, very well presented and treated with the utmost respect. As well as the care being excellent, she says the meals are tasty and delicious. She is very settled and happier than I have seen her in a long time, thanks to all the staff there. All staff are welcoming, which has given our family great peace of mind that she's happy and content at Newington Court. Staff at all levels go above and beyond to ensure they deliver the highest level of care. Well done to everyone who is involved with her care and Thank you."

"My friend has been a resident at Newington Court since 2015, she is very happy with the care provided and always speaks highly of the carers and staff. I have had a garden visit with her since Covid-19 and everything was very well organised and clean. The staff are always friendly and helpful."

"I live in New York City and it's so hard to be apart from my dear mum. The staff at Newington Court have done everything they can to make it easy to communicate with my mum and keep me updated on her progress. The staff are wonderful and caring. I really don't know what I would do without them. The facility is great with a lovely garden area and dining room. The bedroom gets lovely light and is big enough for Mum's wheelchair. My only concerns are the sometimes lack of night staff on duty. In an ideal world there would be more staff overall, but especially at night. I wish the staff could be paid a lot more as they are wonderful and works very hard. The COVID world has turned everything upside down, but I must say how well Newington Court has dealt with containing the situation and organizing garden visits and calls etc. Mum enjoys the food at Newington too, so a big thank you to the kitchen staff. We long for the days when Mum can get back out on a day trip/pub lunch. Hang in there everyone!"

"The care our mother received at Newington Court over the last four-plus years has been gold standard throughout. We have been kept informed meticulously about her health and well being. The staff always had time to talk to us about any problems and looked after Mum’s personal care to a very high standard. They took time each day to talk to her as she was bed-bound. We are so grateful to all the staff who looked after her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone else."

It is a reassuring feeling when I leave my mum after each visit, knowing that she is in such caring and competent hands. A special thank you to the team leader and the team."
