My mum only lived at Newfield Lodge for a short time, but from my initial enquiry I found the staff to be extremely helpful and efficient and the rooms very clean and comfortable. After Mum moved in, all staff were caring and attentive, and the range of activities available for residents exceeded my
expectations. I would certainly recommend Newfield Lodge to anyone looking for residential care.

Reply from Terri Kidd, PR Executive at Newfield Lodge

Thank you for your kind recommendation. It’s so important to our care team at Newfield Lodge that our residents feel encouraged to take advantage of our activities program, so that they can live each day to its fullest. We hope your mum enjoyed her stay with us, thank you again!

I can honestly say Newfield Lidge is absolutely outstanding, from the inside of the building (looks like a hotel) down to all the activities. The staff are amazing and go above and beyond in all their duties. The professionalism and empathy shown by everyone are second to none - I just can't thank this
home and all the staff enough - you are truly excellent in everything you offer and do - thank you.

I can’t thank staff enough for the care given to my grandma during her short stay at Newfield Lodge. It was a difficult decision which care home to choose but Newfield Lodge was the best by far. I realised that care isn’t just a job to the staff at Newfield Lodge, it is a great love to help those in
need and I am so grateful to each and every member of staff for the amazing care and support given to my grandma before she passed away. I’m so glad her last few weeks were spent with carers who genuinely treated my grandma with so much dignity and we’re all lovely with her and managed to get her into the shower and clean clothes every day. As a housekeeper myself I’m quite critical when I visit places, looking to see if it’s clean etc and I can 100% say Newfield Lodge was spotless and smelt fresh every time I visited my grandma. I highly recommend this care home and its genuinely caring staff. Thank you so much!

The front-of-house manager was very helpful with the initial inquiry. We relied on relatives of other past residents and photos online when making our decision. We were allowed to visit the room allocated when my friend moved in to help her unpack and were served refreshments, thank you. We still cannot
visit all parts of the home and are reliant on our friend for comments. All the staff have been extremely friendly and helpful.

Reply from Kristyna Hunt, Customer Care Team at Newfield Lodge

Thank you for your review of Newfield Lodge. We understand that it can be hard to make the decision to move into care so we are glad you found other reviews and past experiences helpful. It's great to hear that your friend has settled well and that you were welcomed by our team on moving day, which must have been a huge comfort to your friend. We will be sure to pass on your kind comments to the team as well as our Front of House Manager - your positive feedback will mean a lot.

I was really impressed by Newfield Lodge. The care home is modern and decorated to a high standard and is spotlessly clean. My mum's room was lovely and being on the ground floor, opened onto the beautiful garden which was a bonus for her to sit out in the fresh air. All the staff were very professional
and friendly, my mum enjoyed her two weeks stay and I wouldn't hesitate for her to return in the future. Many thanks.

Very impressed and reassured at the welcome Mum received moving into the Home during the pandemic. The Manager facilitated an easy transition, astute to safety issues but using common sense, sensitivity and a very caring attitude. Every member of staff l have spoken to has been kind, friendly and courteous.
The home's social media page allows me to see activities, surroundings and residents enjoying themselves.

I can't thank Newfield Lodge enough for easing the transition for my mother-in-law into a care home. The management and staff are so welcoming and friendly. She needed company, activity and routine. She is so much happier and no longer distressed. Communication is excellent and the staff are always
professional. Thank you.

Because of Covid restrictions, apart from taking my husband in for two weeks respite, my time was limited to check everything. I was very impressed with the room and ensuite, the cleanliness was very good! The staff were all helpful and pleasant. Unfortunately, my husband is very limited in taking part
in activities but can enjoy watching others participate. I only witnessed him eating one meal which looked quite appetising. On the whole, we were satisfied.

Mum has been in Newfield Lodge since the beginning of February 2021. Even under difficult circumstances (COVID) the management and staff have been excellent, nothing has been too much bother, and they always have time to discuss any issues and concerns. Mum has joined in all the activities, and it seems
to have helped her health and well-being.

My mother has been a resident at Newfield Lodge care home since 2016. She suffers from vascular dementia. She has been in excellent hand for the last 5 years. The staff are very caring and the home is very well managed. Ideal Care Homes have navigated this terrible covid situation competently by ensuring
timely testing and vaccinations in place on time. Our family is indebted to them for the wellbeing of our mother. We are very impressed with the visits and FaceTime call arranged to be near our mother. Thank you, Newfield Lodge.

We are so pleased we chose this home for my mum who has dementia. They are very well organised with plenty happening for the residents. They are caring and look after them with regular hair and nail appointments but during the lockdown, the staff took it upon themselves to keep up with this. The home
has a lovely feel to it, it's welcoming and clean. Mum has made lots of new friends which is just what she needed. Being cared for is expensive but it's worth it.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.801)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.801) out of 10 for Newfield Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.801 for Newfield Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (327 Excellents x 5) + (70 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 402 Ratings = 4.801

  • 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 Newfield Lodge is based on 34 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 34 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.
