Newgate Lodge has extremely high standards and it is a pleasure to visit. Each member of staff we've come across has shown care, support, friendliness, and warmth to us all. I feel my aunt looks and sounds 100% improvement in her since moving here. Well done!

Reply from Manjas Lidder, Director at Newgate Lodge Care Home

We often find that our residents thrive within an interactive and stimulating environment and also appreciate the ability to have quieter spaces to relax should they wish. We are very proud of the wonderful team at Newgate Lodge and would like to thank you for our lovely review and for choosing Lidder Care.

My dad moved into Newgate Lodge in October 2023 due to his dementia. He has received excellent care and nothing is too much trouble for the staff. Dad engages in the entertainment and loves to show off his dancing skills to the staff. It's a very clean and modern care home and Dad has settled well into
his new home.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Mum had been in 2 other care homes for assessment and had a dreadful experience.
Newgate Lodge was such a contrast from the moment we stepped through the door. We had hoped Mum would be here for a couple of years, sadly that wasn't meant to be and it ended up being just 2 months.
Her last 2 weeks
were on the end-of-life pathway, and the care and support we received were exemplary. Mum was the central focus to them in ensuring she was comfortable and not in pain.
The care shown to us as a family really made a difference. We stayed with her 24/7 for several days and were short for nothing, even a spare bed provided in the room.
It's not often family members see the night staff in a care home, so it was reassuring to witness the compassion (and energy) throughout the night.
A big thank you to all the staff who made Mum's last days as good as they could be.

Reply from Lorraine Poundall, Manager at Newgate Lodge Care Home

Thank you, Karen, for your lovely comments, I will share them back with the team at Newgate Lodge.
It has been a great pleasure and a privilege caring for your mum, also having you all as part of our Newgate family.
We pride ourselves in offering a high standard of person-centred care, it's always nice to hear such positive feedback that reaffirms our aims, ethos and quality of excellent care we strive to achieve for all.
Our thoughts are with you all at this sad time.

This was the first care home we had experienced as a family. Although first impressions were good, it wasn't until Mum moved to a different care home that we had some level of comparisons to go with. I would not recommend this care home.

Reply from Manjas Lidder, Director at Newgate Lodge Care Home

At Newgate Lodge we provide the highest standard of care and the well-being of our residents is our main priority. Given that your mother’s stay with us was relatively brief, we understand that a comprehensive comparison with another care home may not have been possible. Regardless, we would like to thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.

My dad has been so happy with the care and support from all staff who work at this home. Nothing is too much trouble. He now engages in the weekly entertainment provided, having a sing song, and mixing with other service users, chatting with them. Before this he was very recluse, the staff have brought
him out of his shell. We cannot praise the staff enough, the home and staff are excellent, worth more than five stars any day. Well done.

Reply from Lorraine Poundall, Manager at Newgate Lodge Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review, we are so pleased to have your dad here at Newgate Lodge, he is an absolute gentleman who is very much a part of our Newgate family.
We are so pleased you are happy with the care and support your dad is receiving. Our aim is to ensure each person receives quality person-centered care. I will pass on your lovely compliments to all the staff.
Thank you for choosing Newgate Lodge as your dad's home.

My Mum has been at Newgate Lodge for two years and has received excellent care despite her deteriorating dementia. She has been treated kindly and with dignity by all levels of carers, some of whom have gone beyond their role to ensure her comfort and safety. She has recently passed away and the carers
have surpassed my expectations with the level of care and compassion that they have shown both her and myself. Thank you all.

My mum initially came to Newgate Lodge for a respite care placement whilst her home was being renovated. Her initial fears of going into an ‘institution’ were quickly dispelled following a warm welcome and the offer of a bubble bath and nail job. She soon decided that she wanted to stay and for a few
weeks was able to enjoy the wonderful standard of care and facilities on offer. Despite a sudden decline in her mental and physical health, all the staff made every effort to ensure her comfort and well-being. It was clear that the staff are caring, attentive and appropriately affectionate to the residents. Thank you all for caring for our mum with such dedication.

The calm atmosphere and good relationships between staff and residents were obvious as soon as I stepped through the door. Everyone was so kind, friendly and considerate, especially the manager, who clearly sets the tone and standards. Everywhere is spotlessly clean and the refurbishment currently taking
place only adds to the small and homely feel, a must for residents with dementia. My husband spent a happy respite stay and it was such a relief to know that he was being cared for so well. I rang each day and my calls and questions were answered quickly and in detail. Everyone is treated as an individual, with care, respect and dignity.

The present activities coordinator always puts a smile on my Grandma’s face which I truly appreciate. She is a credit to Newgate Lodge, always striving to make the residents happy and enjoy each and every event or occasion. Pancake Day, wine tasting day and Mother’s Day are a few to name. Mother’s Day
was a memorable day for each and every resident, the efforts put in are truly appreciated by our family. The home always looks beautifully decorated for each of the occasions. My Grandma absolutely loves her home and I am honoured to know all the special people who make Newgate Lodge a beautiful home to live in. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you do and continue to do.

Newgate Lodge have been caring for my dad since 2018, he has dementia. The home is always clean and tidy, never any unpleasant smells. All the staff are fabulous and lovely to residents and family members. He loves it when they have music on or singers in. The family are always informed of any health
issue however small and they coped especially well with covid. Residents are treated with dignity and loving care so I know dads safe and looked after well at all times. I've recommended the home to other families facing the care question for loved ones with dementia.

When we chose a care home for Mum we felt Newgate Lodge stood out from the rest in the area, many years on from that decision we can honestly say the same is true today. The home is so well designed with a number of lounges/dining areas, rather than a single large space, making it feel like your own
home. The staff and management make the home so welcoming for residents and their relatives, on top of which is the amazing care they provide to our loved ones. I have seen over the years a low turnover of staff which means a great deal, with new carers integrating so well into the Newgate family whether they be very young or joining from other homes, their empathy and friendliness with residents is outstanding. I would have no hesitation in recommending Newgate Lodge for a relative.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.715)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.715) out of 10 for Newgate Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.715 for Newgate Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (267 Excellents x 5) + (60 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 340 Ratings = 4.715

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Newgate Lodge Care Home is based on 28 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 28 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
