My Mother is almost 103 years old, blind and very deaf. She lived alone, but after experiencing falls, she and we decided it was time for her to be cared for in a home. She spent 6 weeks in a care home but was very unhappy and so was transferred to the New Forest Nursing Home. She was welcomed warmly,
given a lovely light room and has been happy ever since. She has been in the home for approx 18 months. The staff are very kind and caring. It is not easy for them because of her blindness and being deaf, but she has never complained. Her medical needs are looked after well and she says the food is very good. There are regular activities, although Mum does not take part because of her disabilities. The decoration is to a very high standard. We feel blessed to have found such a wonderful home.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at New Forest Nursing Home

What a special review thank you. I am so delighted to read that your mother has been happy since she moved in with us in New Forest Nursing Home. My colleagues are very caring and kind, and nothing is too much trouble for them. It is a lovely home, filled with lovely Residents and colleagues! With my best wishes.

My dad was lucky enough to be admitted to the New Forest Nursing Home just before Christmas. While he wasn't there for long, as he has sadly now passed away, I just want to put on record what a wonderful place this is. The staff looked after him with so much care, putting his wellbeing and dignity at
the heart of everything they did.
So thank you so much New Forest Nursing Home, it's good to know that there are still people who care.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at New Forest Nursing Home

Oh I am so sorry to hear of your loss, my condolences to you and your family. New Forest is such a lovely home. The manager is a gem and she really cares about everyone in the home. My colleagues love what they do and as a result it is a warm, relaxed place, quite apart from the beautiful location in the heart of the New Forest. It's special. I wish you and your family all the best for the future.

My Mum has settled in very well and has benefited from the many activities that you have there. Including gardening club, crafts and enjoying being taken out in the garden and outside the home. She has enjoyed listening to the singers that come in to entertain and the staff seem friendly and attentive.
She
has said how much she is enjoying being there. Particularly as she came from hospital, quite unwell and unsteady on her feet. And her home had begun not to work for her and her independence. She is enjoying the food as well and always mentions there are choices should she not like anything. She has begun to make friends with the residents and staff. A most positive experience for her. It's nice to visit her as a son and not as a carer, so we have benefited too.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at New Forest Nursing Home

Hello, thank you for your considered and comprehensive review. It is a joy to read how well your Mum has settled into her new home; our residents and staff are lovely, warm and friendly. The food is great, and always so fresh. Best of all is how you feel when you visit Mum in her new home - that you are comfortable and coming together as family not care team. That's the point of it all really isn't it, enabling families to be families with Residents in the centre of it all. My colleagues on-site will love reading your comments; they are greatly appreciated. Best wishes.

I visited my friend's mum several times during Jan and Feb 2024 and always found her spotless and well cared for. The staff, from the receptionist to the catering staff and carers, were always happy and cheerful and nothing was too much trouble for them.
You couldn't find fault with the compassion
and care which my friend's mum received from the minute she arrived after being discharged from hospital after breaking her hip and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

My late Mother was a resident here for 3 months from February 2024. My Mother was admitted to the home following surgery for a fractured neck of femur. Prior to this, she had been independently mobile. The surgery went well and Mum was sitting out of bed whilst she was in hospital. Initially, the home
appeared good, however, they did not offer rehabilitation and they did not adhere to requests for agreed care. For example, my Mother did not want male carers attending to her personal care but this was disregarded on more than one occasion. There was a disconcerting lack of consistency in the quality of the care from individual staff.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at New Forest Nursing Home

Hello, firstly my condolences for the loss of your Mother. I am extremely disappointed to read we didn't meet your Mother's needs. We understand the choice of care team is extremely important to each Resident and I am sorry we didn't deliver consistently on that for your Mum. We will take your feedback and use it to improve our training and our service. I am very grateful for your input, thank you. With my best wishes to your family, Helen

From the first day My mother-in-law arrived at the home, we have found the staff to be very friendly and accommodating. Nothing is too much trouble.
She came in as end-of-life and feeding at risk from the 2nd day she asked me if she could have something to eat the senior nurse and chef obliged with
some puree-cooked food, which we spoon-fed her, we took it slowly as she hadn’t had any food in hospital in the prior 7 weeks. She thoroughly enjoyed it. We were able to take her outside with her great-grandchildren for an Easter egg hunt. Easter Sunday was her birthday, the staff went out of their way to give her a cake card and present. Afterwards, she did not want to go back to her room she stayed for a while in the lounge. This was the first time she had mixed with people in many years. This is the review for the first few weeks of her stay. We are incredibly happy so far.
She has now been here for 5 weeks and improving every day.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at New Forest Nursing Home

Hello, thank you for taking the time to provide us with your first 5 weeks' review. It sounds as if our team is getting it right for your Mum and family. I love reading that your mother-in-law was happy to be in the lounge for a while, that's a sign that she feels welcome, comfortable and safe. My colleagues in New Forest are lovely. They all genuinely love working with the residents and there's always something going on in New Forest. Thanks again for the review, my best wishes to you and your family.

Sometimes it's difficult to find the words to adequately reflect the quality of an experience and that's the case with the New Forest Nursing Home and all the staff who work there. My father entered the home for palliative care after four months in hospital, where he had become extremely distressed.
We visited him two days after his admission and the difference in him was astounding. He was calm, smiling and couldn't wait to tell us how beautiful the view of the grounds was from his window. He received wonderful care, in every sense of the word. He was given respect and dignity and he was delighted that all the staff took the time to chat to him and to laugh and joke with him. Care was extended to all our family, with chats and updates on the phone and the care and compassion shown to my elderly mother was a tremendous help to her - I'd also like to mention the care taken to give my father a room with a view of the grounds after I'd mentioned his love of nature. Five stars plus.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at New Forest Nursing Home

Hello. Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. I am so delighted to read how our lovely New Forest team supported your dad and your family. The grounds and the home are certainly lovely but for me it's the constant kindness from all the team that makes the difference. It's a lovely place to be and I'm so glad we've helped you all. Thank you for your review, best wishes to your family.

We met the Resident Liaison Manager on our visit to this care home. She was the first person we'd seen at a care home that asked about Mum and the care she needed and made sure they had the facilities and could meet her needs as she needed special care for an NG tube. We left our visit knowing we had
found the perfect place. Everything felt so right. They made Mum so welcome on her first day, even moved the room round and found an electric recliner chair which we placed by the window with view to the garden. They really cared and made Mum and our family very welcome. Mum said that she was not used to such first-class service from everyone she came into contact with. Which made us happy also as it was end of life care. They made sure she was always comfortable. It is a lovely care home everyone is friendly caring and helpful from the management, nurses, careers and kitchen staff. My wife and I are so grateful and could not thank them enough for the love, care, and respect they gave her.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at New Forest Nursing Home

My colleagues in the New Forest home are just lovely, aren't they? They are all in the right job, caring for the residents and families, and each other all the time.

Whilst I was very grateful for the speedy assessment and availability of a bed, this was not the best placement for my mother who did not respond well. The staff are lovely, friendly and caring and the welcome at reception was lovely.
The constant call of bells for help was irritating both for the
resident and visitors and it might be worth considering the use of a pager system to alert staff members that residents are seeking help.
The activities provided were varied but sadly my mother chose not to engage.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at New Forest Nursing Home

Hello,
Thank you very much for your feedback. I am always delighted to read about how and when we get the service levels right for everyone but also it's really helpful to learn where we can improve. Your comment regarding the call bell system and its overall intrusion into residents' enjoyment will lead us to investigate our options and how we may reduce the intrusion. Thank you. I hope your mum is happy where she now is living. My very best wishes to you and your family cheers.

My family were a bit worried about Mum going into a nursing home as we really wanted her to be at home. We had nothing to worry about from the first day the staff welcomed us and provided exemplary care and support to both Mum and us. They were compassionate and professional and nothing was too much
trouble. Although Mum was bed-bound if she wasn't, the setting, grounds and location provide a tranquil place for residents and family. I cannot recommend this home enough.

I think New Forest NH is the most beautiful space, the trees, the gardens, the look and feel of the house itself, all contribute to the sense of tranquillity. However, it is the warmth of my colleagues in the home that really top it all off. They will all share my joy in reading your comments, many thanks.

Thanks to the wonderful carers and nurses and a big thanks to the chef (most wonderful chef) for delivering a terrific menu to suit each resident. The team always work so hard to keep the home looking perfect. The lady at reception always has a happy face, making people feel welcome and part of the

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.645)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.645) out of 10 for New Forest Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.645 for New Forest Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (216 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 282 Ratings = 4.645

  • 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 New Forest Nursing Home is based on 23 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 23 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.
