"My Dad has been a resident in Newton House Care Home for almost 5 years. When he arrived he would enjoy walking around the home and looking at everything on display and was also allowed to touch. He always enjoyed the entertainment and couldn't wait to join in with the singing and dancing. Sadly for the past year, he is now bedridden and has to have everything done for him. Every time the staff attend to him, his face lights up. He is still happy."

"Newton House is like stepping into a Spanish villa - open spaces, courtyard, sunshine today. Cheerful, smiling staff, immediate attention and recognition. I am visiting my sister and cannot comment on management or value for money - but I am of the opinion that it is all very good."

"My mother-in-law is in Newton House. We are very happy with the way staff have been with her made it very welcoming for us to visit any time. Like home from home. For us to leave her and know that she will be well looked after makes it easier for us at this very hard time as there is only very few of us."

"My sister has been at Newton House for about three months now. My husband and I visit my sister every week and I find the home very good.

Well done to all the staff at Newton House."

"Staff friendly and welcoming. Try their best to accommodate needs of individuals. Accommodation clean and tidy. Always smells fresh (have visited care homes that smell strongly of urine). Don't always manage hourly reviews, but I suspect this is because staff busy elsewhere. Good range of activities if residents wish to join in."

"I have been working voluntarily for some time and work with the activity girls. I was made very welcome by the girls and enjoy my visits every week on a Thursday. The residents are taken out on the minibus regularly which I have joined recently and enjoyed. I always look forward to my Thursday visit and info all the staff very welcoming. The girls are all very hard working and dedicated to the residents. Well done!"

"We were recommended Newton House by friends who had relatives here. Newton house staff are doing all they can to make my husband comfortable at end of life. He has not complained, but sometimes I have to ask for him to have his nails cut or to make certain he has the mat or bell nearby. The staff are kind and calm which is also a calming influence on relatives who do, of course, worry. The food is good."

K B
carehome.co.uk rating: 3.92 out of 5

"Staff are very friendly and efficient, however, I feel they are often rushed as there are not enough staff during peak times. For example; my mother has occasionally missed her bath day because of the lack of staff. I would in fact, like my mother to have more than one bath a week. Overall, very nice friendly place."

Pam N

"My dad has been in the care home several years now and all that time the staff and carers have been extremely kind and caring to him at all times."

Ian R
carehome.co.uk rating: 5.00 out of 5

"Always very clean but feel staff sometimes need more training with certain patients, have more respect for patients and don't treat everyone like they have dementia. Getting to patients quicker when the bell is pressed could also be improved and making sure equipment is always at hand. Hoist out of use a lot and they don't have another one on the ward."

"My mother has been in Newton House Care Home for nearly four years. Her needs and requirements are always catered for. The staff are always kind to her and welcome any visitors she has and readily explain any health problems to me."

Wendy V
carehome.co.uk rating: 4.75 out of 5

"The staff are very helpful and friendly and treat the residents with dignity. The Castlegate unit is well designed for those residents who like to walk with secure access to the garden. My wife is on a liquidised diet which never looks very appetising however the normal diets look reasonable. The rooms are always clean and tidy with en-suite toilet and hand basin with the option of adding personal furniture. Overall, good experience."

"My mother has been a resident for 7 years. We have seen many changes in that time. Her nursing care has been very consistent and excellent. Her nurses know her well and vulnerability. The only change that has been a disappointment is the gardens of her unit which used to be a delight but which are this year a total disappointment and uncared for. The activities team are excellent and the carers are well trained, it would be good if more of then stayed longer term."

Jane D

"An excellent standard of care home with highly trained and professional caring staff. Friendly environment and residents and relatives made to feel very welcome. Good facilities throughout."
