Bridge House Care Home Reviews (76)
Bridge House Care Home has a Review Score of 9.5 (9.450) out of 10, based on 10 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Bridge House Care Home has 76 reviews.
The staff are flexible and responsive to residents' needs and preferences. The staff are warm and empathetic in their contacts with residents and with their relatives. When my brother visited a number of care homes in the Godalming area, to find one for our family member, he told us that he knew Bridge House was the right place, just from going in, before speaking to anyone. The atmosphere was then and still is calm and relaxed.
Thank you so much, for taking the time to review our home. I am so glad that you are happy with the care that the team deliver. I will make sure to pass on your comments to them, as I know they will be really happy to hear this. Looking forward to seeing you soon and thank you again.
My mother initially came to Bridge House in November 2021, for a brief respite and chose to stay on a permanent basis. The care and friendliness of the staff including the management, carers, reception, housekeeping etc, is exceptional. My mother is a new woman since moving there. Thank you Bridge House.
Thank you so much for your review of Bridge House. We are so happy that you have found the home such a good place for people to live. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
My father is extremely happy with the care home. He cannot fault any of the staff. The treatment he receives is first class, from the manager, to all the staff. From my visits to my father, all I see is the staff being extremely helpful, polite and hardworking.
Thank you so much for your review of Bridge House. We are so pleased that you are so happy with the care that we are providing. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
I cannot rate Bridge House highly enough. Every aspect - staff, care, food, hygiene and service, is al excellent. Unsure as to how they can improve such outstanding standards.
Thank you so much for your review of Bridge House. We are so pleased that you are so happy with the care that we provide to the people living at the home. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
My mother came to Bridge House Care Home, 5 months ago and the care, compassion and support offered by all the staff was exemplary. Thank you for supporting us as a family during sad times. We all know our mum was looked after expertly and enjoyed her time with you.
Thank you so much for your review of Bridge House. Your words will mean so much to the team here. Thank you.
Having moved my mother from a previous and unsatisfactory care home, we chose Bridge House after recommendations from a friend. It was the best decision ever made. The staff have treated my mother with dignity and compassion from day one. They are very caring and nothing is too much trouble. My mother is so happy now and has blossomed under their care.
Thank you so much for your review of Bridge House. We are so pleased that you chose our home and are so happy with the care that we provide. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
My father was admitted to Bridge House the day before all visits were banned because of COVID in March 2020. So, not an ideal start as we moved him local to us so that we make regular visits. However, the staff did their best to keep him content and we had regular video calls to reassure him we were still about until such time when we were allowed visits again. All care homes had a difficult time in early 2021 and Bridge House was no exception. There have been a lot of staff changes over the last year due to Covid, but his care has always been to a good standard and we are pleased we chose this care home for him. Most of the staff have a soft spot for him and it shows when they speak to him. We communicate regularly with the care home manager and she keeps us well informed of his health and well being when we can’t visit. Overall I think we chose the best home for him, his tastes are simple and doesn’t want for much, but he does receive the best of care and attention.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our home. We are so glad that you have found the care for your father has been good, the staff helpful and that the home has been supportive to you during these difficult times. Thank you again.
Please don't take too much notice of what the CQC say as they are only interested in the paperwork!
Thank you for your review. We take all concerns and comments received extremely seriously as the health and wellbeing of residents is our absolute priority. The issues you have raised over the past few months have, as you are aware, been the focus of both an internal and external inspection review...
Have been visiting as a friend of resident since she came in February. She seems very happy here, says food and care very good. Staff always friendly and helpful, lovely atmosphere. Lovely care home with lovely people.
Well received at reception, with good detailed advice for the wait. Good provision of PEE and hand sanitizing instructions, in particular in the resident's room very clear i.e. distancing, etc. Staff friendly and obviously caring.
Bridge House was highly recommended to us and it has not disappointed us. The staff are so kind not just to our mother, but go out of their way to make our visit a good one.
Everyone at Bridge House has been very kind and caring towards my mother in law. She has only been with them for a few weeks but she has had excellent care and we feel very happy leaving her knowing she is in safe hands. Thank you, everyone.
Thank you for your kind words about our staff. We are really delighted that you are all so happy with our wonderful care team here at Bridge House.
Bridge House is the definition of "care home".
Thank you.
Bridge House is a lovely home with a warm, friendly atmosphere. Caring staff always make me welcome at all hours when visiting my sister.
I was welcomed by the receptionist very warmly. She was very keen to show me around from the kitchen, bathrooms/shower rooms, large sunn lounge/dining rooms, gardens and also a vacant room. She explained everyday life for a resident their safety, medical care and laundry system. I was introduced to the manager who was more than happy to discuss my father's needs and past issues and reassured me that life here he would receive kindness and dignity now he is a resident, settled and happy.
Mum has been here for two years and is very happy and comfortable. The staff are great.
Thank you for taking the time to write such kind words about our staff. We are so glad that you are happy with the care we are able to provide for your mum, and that she is happy living here with us.
His health has deteriorated in the last month, and he has become completely bed-bound. We have no worries about him as the staff are always going the extra mile giving him the love and care he needs.
I would highly recommend Bridge House to anyone looking for excellent care for a loved one.
Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review about our staff, they do appreciate your feedback and find it very motivating. I am pleased that you are so satisfied with the high standard of care we are providing for your father-in-law and that he is happy with us here at Bridge House.
I am happy for my father to be in Bridge House. I feel he is well looked after but still allowed to maintain his independence. I feel that they have gone above and beyond to accommodate his needs e.g. providing him with a room key also being very diligent in keeping me informed when I have had concerns about him.
My experience of Bridge House Care Home has been very positive. The staff have always been friendly and welcoming. My elderly mother is at present bedridden and receiving high-quality care. The staff are very aware of her physical needs they turn her regularly and try their best to tempt her to eat. She is happy and content with the care she receives.
When I visit she's clean and happy and enjoying the afternoon activities musical/singing.
The staff are protective of her right to be treated as an intelligent adult and I've found this aspect of her care excellent. She is safe, warm, happy, clean and comfortable and has made lots of friends. Thank you.
