Bernash Care Home is a luxurious care home set in the heart of Bristol and offers dementia care, residential care, respite and day care.
Leaving home can be a challenging time, so to ensure the smoothest transition, Bernash Care Home boasts an authentic ‘home from home’ experience to help new residents settle.
Established since 1982, this traditional detached residential property, feels less like a hospital ward and more like a home. With only a maximum of 23 residents, this select group can comfortably interact and form new bonds.
The bedroom suites are designed to give residents luxury, privacy and independence. All rooms are equipped with TV and telephone points and a lift provides easy access to all first-floor suites. The majority of the bedrooms have an en-suite and the rooms are both spacious and comfortable.
All the bedrooms and en-suites have a nurse call point which offers residents rapid access to a carer 24 hours a day.
There are two separate lounges in which to socialise and enjoy the company of fellow residents. One of which is a quiet lounge, so there is plenty of opportunity for private moments by yourself or with your loved ones too.
Staff also recognise the importance of activities and invest a lot of time making sure residents enjoy every day. With dedicated activities co-ordinators, there is a full programme of events on a daily basis, many of which actively encourage participation from family, friends and the local community.
In beautiful surroundings, with a team of people who are passionate about what they do each day and by aiming for excellence in every area, the care home makes the experience of living in a care home a fantastic life experience, as well as the best place to receive exceptional care.

I have always been very pleased with the looking after my Mum, hygiene, personal needs and company and medical, they deal with all of it. My Mum has deteriorated quite quickly now and needs more, but Burnash Dementia Team Doctors have a good team and all work well together. Mum is in her own world and myself and family are most grateful for all the support that Mum and us get at the very hard time of life.

The care my aunt receives at Bernash is absolutely first class from the management to the carers, to the kitchen staff and to the cleaners. The carers are most in contact with my aunt and we were really overwhelmed by their kindness to her and their professionalism. Lots of activities put on through the day and lovely food cooked by the kitchen. We would have absolutely no reservations whatsoever about recommending this care home to others.
Dear Gemma, thank you for such a heartfelt review of our home and team, it makes me very proud. We pride ourselves on the care we deliver to all of our residents and it is always great to hear such fantastic praise for the team. Warmest wishes, Ryan.
