Sydenham House

My aunt entered Sydenham House Bridgwater this year at the end of July. After a different care home in Bridgwater closed. The team at Sydenham House Bridgwater have gone above and beyond to help my aunt settle into her new room and her new life at Sydenham House. The team also help my aunt with her doctors appointments and hospital appointments. My aunt is happy with her move and likes the team who are giving 110% good service everyday! I visit my aunt regularly and see all the staff regularly who are always pleased to see me. They are all very helpful when I need questions answered and anything else I need for my aunt. I am 100% happy that my aunt is in Sydenham House with the team which makes a big difference when you live over an hour away! Thank you for all you do, please keep up the good work moving forward!

Our relative has been in Sydenham House for a month now and loves it there. There are lots of activities including craft days. The staff we have met are very nice and always helpful. We really like the four-chair lounge areas where you can have your visit rather than in the resident's room or the main communal lounge. We are so pleased that our relative is very happy there.

All the staff are welcoming and caring towards us and gran. Nothing seems to be too much for them. Thank you for all you do!

My sister entered Sydenham House last year after losing her husband. The staff at Sydenham House have literally brought her back from the edge; she is so settled and content, plus she feels safe and cared for. I have nothing but praise for every member of staff who makes me feel most welcome when l visit.

My husband has had respite at Sydenham House for a few years now but recently had to spend several weeks there. I cannot fault the care and support they have givens us or the cleanliness. It always smells lovely when walking through the corridors. Many thanks to all the staff.

After being discharged from the hospital after my 4th hip replacement, I was not ready to go home, but the hospital said I had to leave. The staff and care I have received were excellent. They have made me feel more confident and stronger to come home.

My sister and I would not recommend Sydenham House for respite care.

Very welcoming and spotless, clean, and nice and fresh smells as you walk in. Staff very approachable. Deputy manager very helpful as I ask her a lot of questions regarding Mum's stay there. Mum has been housebound for three years, does not go out, speech affected, low in mood, and did not want to be here. Since being in Sydenham House, she is a different lady. All staff have been excellent.

Excellent home. My mother stayed with Sydenham House for a week's respite in July. The staff were attentive and welcoming. Her room was a lovely size and was well furnished. It was spotless too, as we're the communal areas, which is reassuring, especially in these times and the toilets I used while I was visiting were very clean. Mum enjoyed her stay at Sydenham House, and should she need to go into respite again, I would have no hesitation in using Sydenham House again. Thank you for everything.

My mum was a resident for nearly four years. She felt comfortable and at home. I visited very regularly and could see that she was well looked after. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The home put in sensible measures during Covid, and the staff were great. They looked after Mum well when she had Covid. The home is spotlessly clean and nicely decorated.

I can not thank the staff at Sydenham House enough for the care my mum received. All the staff are very friendly and approachable. The home itself is very clean and tidy. She enjoyed the food and entertainment; it was very homely.

The staff have been great during Covid. They look after our mum very well especially when she had Covid. Also, the Platinum Jubilee celebrations were excellent with great organisation, fantastic food and a great atmosphere. My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed, at long last, celebrating a memorable day. Thank you.

Myself and my sister had a lovely afternoon with our Mum on Saturday 4th June for the Platinum Jubilee party. The staff had gone to a lot of trouble to decorate, and the food was fantastic. It was so nice to have time with Mum on a lovely occasion and to see Mum surprised and delighted to see us. She laughed and really enjoyed the afternoon. So a very big thank you to all.

My mother-in-law has recently moved into Sydenham House for respite. She has been so happy with the wonderful care she has received. She is hoping to stay and make it her new home (funding permitting). The staff have always been very professional and kind to her visitors. Always very cheerful and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble.

Staff were very good.

My dad came for respite care. All I can say is thank you so much for the love, care and respect and for providing him with a home from home experience. Dad has improved immensely being at Sydenham House, and the manager and her team are a credit to the care profession. A big thank you to all for the love and support given.

Mum was in Sydenham House for one week's respite. Thank you so much for all your kindness.

Service user very happy to come here again.

After a short space of time, Mum was feeling more secure, safe and a lot less anxious, knowing that she was being well looked after due to the dedication and care of the excellent staff. Mum is now eager to join in the activities and to seek out the company of her new friends. The staff are really on the ball with monitoring Mums care and needs, with the mantra of that it's the resident's home and not an institution.

My mother has recently joined those living in Sydenham House. I have found the staff friendly, approachable and helpful. They have addressed my mother with dignity and compassion. Management has shown themselves to be "on the ball and forward-thinking". I feel she is safe, well cared for and about. The best choice we could have made.
