Our Compliments & Complaints Procedure

At Newlands, we believe that it should as easy as possible to let us know if you have a concern, if you want to register a complaint or even a compliment. That’s why we welcome all feedback from you, your family or a visitor, whether it’s positive or negative. It can be submitted in person or in writing as you prefer.

Be assured that we will treat anything you raise very seriously and use it as an opportunity to learn, adapt, improve and provide better services. We will not treat you any differently if you make a complaint.

Simply let us know if:

  • You’d like to compliment us on a recent experience you have had
  • You feel there’s an area where we could improve our services for you
  • Our services, staff or care have fallen short of your expectations
  • You have a concern about your treatment or care provision
  • You can discuss any matter with the Registered Manager at Newlands or a member of our senior management team who will try to work with you to rectify your concern

In response to written complaints we will:

  • Answer your complaint as soon as possible in a straightforward, openly and honest way
  • If we need to investigate your complaint further we will respond to you within 28 days where possible
  • Should you be unhappy with our response there is no need to write to us again to take your complaint further through any escalation procedure
  • We will provide a final decision in writing within 56 days of receiving your complaint, unless we have agreed a later deadline with you
  • Should someone else be acting on your behalf we will cooperate in the same way
