Located in the serene suburb of Fallings Park, on Prestwood Road, Newcross Care Home in Wolverhampton has been an integral part of the local community for over seven years. The home provides considerate residential, respite and dementia care tailored to individual needs.

The architectural focal point of the building is its dome, adorned with art created by local students in collaboration with the renowned sculptor Michael Scheuermann. Numerous lounges facilitate socialising, participation in a lively activity schedule, or quiet contemplation.

All bedrooms are generously sized, featuring walk-in, en-suite showers, a DVD player and a flat-screen TV. Residents are encouraged to personalise their spaces, meticulously maintained by a dedicated housekeeper. Ground-floor rooms often have direct access to the patio, while an upper-floor balcony provides additional seating.

Emphasising the importance of staying connected, free Wi-Fi is accessible throughout the building for residents and visitors alike. A dedicated Facebook page keeps relatives informed about care home activities and events. Residents are even guided on using Skype for virtual connections.

Encouraging resident involvement in shaping home life cultivates a sense of shared ownership. Friends and family are invited to contribute, particularly in engaging with residents living with dementia, to help create their life stories. A rich programme of activities caters to diverse interests, promoting mental and physical well-being in the company of peers.

As usual the family are always happy in the knowledge that the resident is safe, secure and comfortable. Staff are always friendly and professional, they assist us in transferring the resident from the main communal lounge to the quieter room for our visit. They always respond positively to our requests
and if need be, follow then up with a telephone update.

Just to say what a lovely day we had on the 18th January celebrating Mum's 91st birthday. We had a room which the staff decorated, and we were looked after very well. Mum had a lovely time with family and also a cake. We just wanted to say thanks for the love and care she receives. We really appreciate
all you do. Thank you.

My mom had a lovely visit from the mayoress last week.
I would like to thank all the staff who helped me organise the visit and make it a really special morning for my mom. Staff made the mayoress feel very welcome and were very happy to show her around and meet other residents.

My husband will have been in the home 12 months this month and his care has been excellent. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. They are friendly reassuring and professional, the home is like a 4-star hotel with lovely furnishings and decor and the residents' rooms are always clean. The home
has a lovely welcoming atmosphere due to the friendliness of the staff and my husband gets on well with them all.

On the sudden passing of my dear Mom, circumstances with Par made it too difficult to care for him alone at home. It is still so raw and heartbreaking, with the help and support of the care team the transition has been that much easier, they are absolutely amazing. The love they have shown to Par, giving
him encouragement to remain independent as much as possible. I am in awe of them (Wow). It's like one big happy family there, they are always watching and vigilant. I have never had any concerns, well done to you all and a massive heartfelt thank you from me.

A wonderful care home in my opinion it's the loveliest around this area. Staff are lovely, helpful and caring. Any information about the resident is communicated immediately. Atmosphere is very good. Cleanliness is perfect and the cleaners work hard to achieve this.

My mom has been a resident at Newcross Care home for almost 12 months. The staff have been wonderful... very caring, warm-hearted and professional. I have visited many care homes and Newcross was the only place I visited that had 'a heart,' and felt homely, as well as comfortable. Mom enjoys being in
company and very much appreciates the activities... especially the keep fit and the occasional outings.
The home is very well maintained, spotlessly clean, and the food is great.
I can't thank the manager and the team enough for the kindness and support they give to Mom and to us.

My li'l mom has been with Newcross for just under a year now, after being diagnosed with mixed dementia. It was such a tough decision to make, but her downturn was so quick and it was heartbreaking to see her go through so much turmoil... But, after meeting some of the wonderful staff and viewing the
home itself, it gave us hope that she could be safe and comfortable again. Newcross is exceptional and more like a hotel than a home! Everyone there is fabulous! The medical staff, activities, catering, housekeeping, reception, maintenance and those who also come in to bring extra normality, such as exercise classes, singers, hairdressers, chiropody, etc. All goes into the great attention and detail of Mom's care, but also gives her the freedom to be herself. Mom still has her ups and downs, that this horrible incurable disease brings, but she certainly has a lot more 'ups' these days and it's due to the security and care that she is being shown at Newcross. So, a massive thank you from me!

Our father has been a resident at Newcross Care home in Wolverhampton since May 2023. We cannot thank the staff enough for encouraging Dad to laugh again, to be a part of things again. Every day they have something going on to keep their residents happy. The care at Newcross is second to none, Dad was
withdrawn and unhappy since we lost Mum but now it's as if he has a new lease of life.
Thank you all at Newcross Care Home for being Dad's guardian angels.

My dad has been a resident at Newcross Care Home for two and a half years. The care is wonderful, the staff dedicated and professional and the manager is a calm, reassuring presence who is totally across every detail.
Dad absolutely loves living there and my sister and I have peace of mind. It’s wonderful
that in his sunset years, he is cared for and loved by all those around him, just yards from a major hospital. I’m so glad we chose Newcross Care Home.

Mum has been with you for about 5 years and her care has been consistently excellent. The staff are all welcoming, efficient, patient and caring in what they do. Mum is settled there and knows how well she is treated. The staff are always cheerful and approachable. Nothing appears to be too much trouble.
The entertainment is varied and interesting and its always a pleasure to visit.
In short, the whole place is excellent. The only observation is that the CQC rating is Good. I would have thought it was Outstanding.

Our mom became a resident at Newcross Care Home following a fall at home and admission to the hospital. On our first contact with two members of staff, we were offered excellent support and understanding in what was an emotional and stressful time for us. We cannot thank all the staff enough for the
wonderful care Mom has received since her admission 6 weeks ago. She has made such good progress. The reception staff, housekeepers, maintenance (who put the adjustable bed in mom's room) catering staff and all the amazing dedicated, professional team of carers make Newcross Care Home a 5-star care home.
Our auntie received care here in 2017 for 2 years and many of the care staff that looked after her, are still there and now caring for our mom, which we think speaks volumes about a wonderful and dedicated team.
Thanks to everyone involved in Mom's care.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.861)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.861) out of 10 for Newcross Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 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 4.861 for Newcross Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (428 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 490 Ratings = 4.861

  • 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 Newcross Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 41 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 41 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.

Jenna

Jenna Hughes

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2017

Hello, my name is Jenna, and I am the home manager here at Newcross Care Home.


I joined Newcross in 2017 and have over 10 years of experience in the healthcare sector. Prior to becoming home manager here, I have had several previous roles, including senior care assistant, deputy manager at an Army nursery and a moving and handling trainer for the NHS. I am always looking into ways to develop my skills in the sector and have successfully done this by proudly accomplishing the NVQ levels 2, 3 and 5.


I would best describe myself as someone who is warm, welcoming and someone who is also on the go. In my downtime, I enjoy cheering my children on from the sidelines at their football matches.


Within my career, I have been lucky enough to meet many residents with all amazing stories and backgrounds. Seeing my residents happy and enjoying life each day gives me the motivation to perform at the highest level. One memorable moment that I will cherish forever was when one of my residents had difficulties walking. Using my experience, I referred them to occupational therapy, where he began to walk with assistance and without aids within two months. This is just one example of where I have been able to use my skills to better the lives of our residents.


Avery Healthcare, owners of Newcross, best stands out for their luxurious appearance and expectations of what quality care should be received by our residents. All staff receive continuous support and training. And our home is no different. Our home is unique as it is a true home from home. It is filled with an endless amount of fun, care and love. Residents, relatives and staff all form one happy community.


I look forward to welcoming you to Newcross Care Home.
