About Newhaven Residential Home

Newhaven Residential Home stands in Alford, and we look after older people from across this part of Lincolnshire. We also support adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, including younger adults, and we offer respite stays. We are a residential home rather than a nursing one, and we prefer to be straightforward about that so families can plan. What we provide is patient, skilled help with daily living: getting up and dressed, medicines, mobility, meals worth sitting down to, company when it is wanted and quiet when it is not. If someone's health needs move beyond what we can meet properly, we raise it early rather than letting a situation drift towards a crisis. A home takes its character from the people working in it, so keeping a settled team is what we work hardest at. When staff stay, care stops being a matter of consulting notes and becomes a matter of knowing the person, which residents feel immediately. Alford is a small town and we are part of it. Visitors come without appointments, and residents get out rather than watching the world from a window. Respite stays suit carers needing a break and people regaining their strength after illness. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection. Please come and see the house at an ordinary moment and talk to whoever you like.
