About Newton House
We are Newton House, a residential care home in Thatcham, West Berkshire. We support adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, and people with physical disabilities, including younger adults. Respite stays are available. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement, and we will not write around it. We have gone through what the inspection found, changed how we plan and record support, and strengthened the training and supervision of our staff. We are being held to account for the progress we make, and we talk about it openly with the people who live here, their families and those who commission their care. What we are trying to protect while we do that work is the ordinary business of living here. What somebody eats, how their day runs, what they want from their week and how much company they want are matters for them. Where change is difficult we keep things predictable and prepare carefully for anything unusual, and where access and equipment need proper attention they get it. If you are considering Newton House, please visit and ask about the rating. We would rather answer that directly than have it hanging over the conversation.
