Where Exceptional Care

Meets Refined Living

STOURCASTLE, STURMINSTER NEWTON, DORSET, DT10 1FF

Welcome to Newstone House in Sturminster Newton

Newstone House is an established nursing, residential and dementia care home in Sturminster Newton, where later life continues to be lived well, even as support becomes necessary.

For many residents, moving here marks not an ending, but a new stage. Freed from the practical demands of managing alone, they return to familiar routines, long-held interests and time with family and friends. Some rediscover past passions. Others settle into new rhythms and connections.

Families often tell us they see greater consistency in appetite, energy and routine once support is in place. Care is delivered around the clock by an experienced team, with nurses on site day and night. As needs change, they are recognised early, discussed openly with families and addressed promptly, helping life to continue without disruption.

Newstone House is part of Colten Care, drawing on more than forty-five years of experience supporting older people to live well in later life. That shared experience has shaped a deep understanding of what truly makes a difference. Families choose this home knowing nothing important will be missed.
