Our News

About Us

The home was acquired by Heritage Manor group in early 2016, and has since undergone a refurbishment to make this established home both comfortable and appealing for its residents and staff.  The home enjoys a wide range of communal area, with multiple lounges, dining rooms, conservatory and sheltered garden areas.

We are very proud to have first achieved the Gold Standard Framework accreditation in 2014. This award is for the highest level of end of life care and is awarded annually to the top nursing homes in the country for their outstanding care. We are delighted to have received this award again for 2018 and continue to hold Platinum Award status.

We are also proud of winning Fifth place for our stunning gardens in Hereford In Bloom 2018.

We have been awarded by carehome.co.uk as a Top 20 Care home for the West Midlands, based on independent reviews.

Alison Ough Home Manager

I have worked with older people for the past 32 years, initially in the NHS as a ward sister in Care of the Elderly both in the acute and rehabilitation settings. I moved to the independent sector in 1996 working as a Regional Nurse for a nursing home company providing clinical support to 22 homes. I became a Home Manager in 2001 and have been the registered manager in 5 homes over 11 years.

I hold a Registered Manager Award which I completed in 2008 and I also hold a Certificate in Managing Health Services (IHM accredited).

I am experienced in managing and motivating a team and I like to empower others to look to continually improve and develop the care we deliver to our residents.

I have an 'open door' approach and I am accessible to residents, relatives and staff. I am passionate about person-centred care and genuinely believing that we work in the resident's home and that we must respect it as such.

I believe in meaningful occupation and engagement with residents and giving them a feeling of self-worth and purpose.

As part of a very caring team of staff, my role is to guide and lead and be a positive role model. We work collaboratively to raise the benchmark for excellent standards of person-centred care.

I am privileged to work alongside a fabulous Deputy Manager, Jincy Thomas and a committed team of nurses led by our senior nurse Jan Wilson, known as JayJay. She has dedicated 27 years of her career to the care of residents at Newstead House.  She was also instrumental in the home gaining the Gold Standards Framework Accreditation and is our GSF Lead and Dignity Nurse. She has also just been awarded for Best Palliative Care at The 2018 Great British Care Awards.

Relatives entrust their loved ones into our care and we see it as a privilege to care for them as they become part of the Newstead family.

Our Quality Care

We provide residential and nursing care, on a long term, convalescent or short stay basis. Our team are long-serving at Newstead House, reflecting a happy and caring home.

As with all of our homes, we do our upmost to ensure our residents get the most they can from life.  We have achieved the Gold Standard Framework for palliative care, an industry kitemark for care excellence that few homes are able to achieve. We have also been awarded at the Great British Care awards, winning in the palliative care category. Most recently for 2020, we have been awarded as a Top 20 care home in the West Midlands by carehome.co.uk

Our food is locally sourced, cooked from fresh ingredients and so tailored to individuals’ wishes and needs.

Testimonials

  • "The quality of the establishment is only excelled by the quality of the outstanding staff. Caring, communicative, and dedicated. I cannot envisage any better end of life experience."

    IB, power of attorney for resident, June 2020

  • "Difficult to find words to describe the home. The standards in all departments are of course excellent but it is that little extra that makes such a huge difference. Seeing the staff in action you realise that extra something is invariably there, it is many many small ways that the staff show their concern for their resident in a manner that seems completely natural to them. Hats off to all Newstead staff."

    JP, sister of resident, February 2020

  • "We’d definitely recommend this care home to any potential residents as it’s clean, comfortable, spacious and safe. Every member of staff was exceptional in their roles."

    M, daughter of resident, August 2020

  • "Over this difficult period covering the COVID-19 pandemic, Newstead House staff and management have been excellent. Heritage Manor stopped visits to their care home before the national requirement as they had identified the risks to their residents. This was carefully explained to relatives and offers of how to keep in touch were made. On enquiring about staff access to PPE and other support I was very reassured that they were fully committed to keeping both themselves and residents safe. Staff have been very understanding of relative’s anxieties and provided excellent care over this period. I know my mother is not only cared for very well but has been given the love and attention she needed while I have not been able to visit. My heartfelt thanks go to all the staff, there is no way to adequately thank them for their self-sacrifice in continuing to do their jobs."
