Review from Patrick C (Son of Resident) published on 13 May 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

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.

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from Linda K (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 January 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Jeffrey W (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 11 January 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Most of the caring staff are good but that is about all I can say that is positive. The management seem to want to get rid of any decent staff and replace them with agency staff. They have not had a proper chef/cook since they sacked the chef who did cook reasonable meals, at present, they have a carer doing the cooking whilst she does her best she is not a trained chef and it shows. When Covid is over or our relative has had the vaccination we will be moving her if things to not improve dramatically!

Please don't take too much notice of what the CQC say as they are only interested in the paperwork!

Reply from Alison Daly, Home Manager at Bridge House Care Home

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...

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.

Since my mother's admission at Bridge House, she has been made to feel welcome and at home. The standard of genuine care has way exceeded our expectations. The quality of food is fantastic and the continuity of staff members is reassuring and welcome.
Bridge House is the definition of "care home".

Thank you.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from Jane W (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 10 October 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Due to deteriorating health, my father-in-law went to stay at Bridge House in April this year, he settled in quickly despite being partially sighted. All of the staff have gone out of their way to help him settle in they had his room decorated in the colour of his choice before he arrived and made sure they used brightly coloured crockery to try and help him see where things were.
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.

Reply from Annie Lewis, Manager at Bridge House Care Home

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.

My friend has been in Bridge House for three months. They are incredibly supportive of her helping her to cope with the huge changes that have happened to her.
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.
