Activities at Newton House Care Home
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Life at Newton House Care Home
30 Year Long Service Award
A much cherished Nurse at the Newton House Care Home in Grantham has received a prestigious Long Service Award in celebration of working at Barchester Healthcare for 30 years.
Tina Buggins, now Nurse, started at Barchester in 1993 and has worked in dedication with residents and their relatives to ensure that their needs have been met over the years.
Adele Keenan, Employee Services Director at Barchester said: “I’m always pleased to hear stories about the long service of Barchester staff and am delighted Tina has achieved this milestone. It is dedication like this that ensures our residents are provided with a happy place to live.”
Sonia Fairhurst, General Manager of Newton House said: “We’re delighted to be celebrating 30 years of loyal service with Tina. She has demonstrated her dedication and loyalty to this home and its residents year after year. I speak for all of us here at Newton House Care Home when I say that I’m looking forward to many more years of working with Tina.
Home becomes collection point for local foodbank
Barchester Healthcare are proud to announce that our Maple Leaf Lodge and Newton House Care Homes in Grantham are to become collection points for the Grantham Foodbank.
Every day people in the UK go hungry for reasons ranging from redundancy to receiving an unexpected bill on a low income. A simple box of food makes a big difference, with foodbanks helping prevent crime, housing loss, family breakdown and mental health problems.
The Grantham Foodbank is proud to serve the local community and support those in need.
Intergenerational Fun
Residents and Colleagues at Newton House were delighted to welcome the returning and new year of children from the Sweet Angels Childcare Service to enjoy music, games and activities with residents at the home.
The group children also enjoyed sing along with residents to their favourite songs such as wind the bobbin up, wheels on the bus and old McDonald.
Margaret said “oh I do love to see the their little faces, always happy and big smiles”
