Our father was resident for three weeks for palliative care and I cannot tell people enough about the wonderful care he and ourselves received from all the carers. Dad was shown love and compassion and was made to feel part of the family there. We also were shown the same love and care during what was a very difficult time in our lives. They are a wonderful team of people and I would not hesitate to recommend Bonchester Bridge Care Centre to anyone, and I thank everyone there for caring.
Thank you for your kind review, Susan. We loved getting to know Dad and yourselves, we only wish we could have known him longer. We look forward to welcoming you back when you are able to visit.

It is an old building with extensive grounds - both of which need a lot of upkeep but this doesn't deter from the lovely approach given by all staff to those in their care.

I have nothing but praise for the staff and all they do at Bonchester Bridge, they are all very caring and loving towards my mother and it is that which helped her to settle in so well. She is comfortable, warm and safe which is what I ask for my mother.

Overall an excellent care home with very committed management and kind, helpful, friendly staff. Lots of encouragement for residents to interact with regular activities if they want. The food is home cooked, varied and of an excellent standard.

Thank you so much for your very kind comments, we as a team try our utmost to fulfil all ours residents daily needs.
Since my father-in-law went into this care home in July 2017 he has received very good care and attention to him settling in. He is now feeling more at home and relaxed as it takes time when leaving your own home and family. Staff accommodation and food very good.

The driveway to Weens House is in a shocking state, bad enough for vehicles but impossible for wheelchairs. The inability to take my immobile uncle out for a walk in the good weather is an issue of major concern.
