About Newhaven
Assessment was undertaken 10 December to 20 December 2024. Newhaven is a residential service providing support to people with a learning disability. We spoke with 5 people that used the service, 6 staff members and 3 relatives. We also spoke with the deputy manager and the registered manager who is also the nominated individual. The provider did not have a good learning culture and did not investigate incidents thoroughly or report them appropriately.

What to Expect When Visiting
When visiting a residential care home, pay attention to the atmosphere as much as the facilities. The best homes feel warm, unhurried, and genuinely caring — like a place where your loved one could feel at home.
- Try to visit at different times of day, including mealtimes, to see the home in action.
- Speak with staff and, if possible, current residents or their families about their experience.
- Ask how the home supports residents who may need nursing care in the future.
- Look at the communal spaces — do they feel welcoming, clean, and well-used?
