My wife became resident at Bridge House on January 8th 2025. Bridge House was my first choice of home for my wife based on previous experience with the home and I felt it best suited my wife.

Bridge House is an excellent residential home. Residents are treated with respect whatever their condition: Most of the staff are courteous and caring. The situation of the home is peaceful and serene. The home is kept clean and a pleasure to be in.

Friendly home with lovely staff, excellent home-cooked food and cakes, a constantly boiling kettle and generally a very nice feel to the place.
I would highly recommend Bridge House and we are very glad to have found it.

Review from Bryan H (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 4 November 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been to Bridge House twice now and I can see only in a short while, that my father-in-law has settled well and the care and attention I see there is amazing. In two weeks, he has been on a boat trip and was available to go on a cream tea, he was so happy there, he stayed to chat with a chap.
The home is fantastic, in and out. The garden has a miniature railway and is just great and well-kept. Today they were doing flower arranging, but I was able to take my father-in-law out into the garden to have a walk. I was treated to greeted to tea and biscuits and a smile and at the end of the visit, helped to make my way, without trouble.

The home is lovely. All the staff are friendly and they always make you feel welcome as a visitor. Mum enjoys the food, has a nice, clean room and is happy living there. They will help with organising things like parties and residents and relatives are invited and included when there is a special event.
I only gave activities a good, because I am not 100% sure what activities they do.

I find it a very nice home. Caring staff, friendly atmosphere and nice surroundings. Usually, plenty going on, a bit restricted at the moment, due to sign of the times. Easy to approach with any problems. Most satisfactory.

Review from Barbara S (Sister of Resident) published on 25 June 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My brother was in Bridge House Residential Home for six and a half years. He was loved and cared for and was very content and happy. He enjoyed everything that was going on. Going out on outings, entertainment, special events, parties, and birthdays, which he could choose what he wanted for tea and
a birthday cake was made. The family was always invited and made very welcome, but of course, l lot of this was affected by covid. It was a good six and a half happy years for him, until sadly we lost him on January 31st 2022.
Reply from Cheryl Lawrence, Owner / Registered Manager at Bridge House Residential Home

Thank you so much for your kind words. It was indeed a pleasure to care for your brother over the 6+ years and we miss him terribly.

My mum had a short stay at Bridge House. Very well run, homely home. All the staff were so caring and kind to Mum and also to me. Lovely home-cooked meals, which she enjoyed. Lots of different activities for everyone. Thank you all for looking after Mum.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.458)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.458) out of 10 for Bridge House Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 2 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.708 for Bridge House Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (19 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.708
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bridge House Residential Home is based on 2 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 = 3.125
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 16 registered maximum number of service users is 3.2. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 3.2 = 0.625
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
