Review from F P (Partner of Resident) published on 20 May 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My partner spent a month in a care home in Kendal, then came home. Later he needed to go into longterm care and had to go to Bridge House as there were no vacancies in Kendal. I am so glad that he did. Bridge House is warm and homely and with really caring staff. In Kendal, he stayed in his room all the while. Here he mixes, sits in the lounge or by the fish tank in the hall (which he seems to like); eats with the others in the friendly dining area and sits in the garden on warm days. The staff are just lovely and nothing seems too much trouble for them. Sad and painful as it is to see him slowly deteriorate, I feel reassured that he is well looked after here.

Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
