Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're so pleased that your sister's move to Bridge Park has been a positive experience and that you have both felt supported and welcomed by our team.
Mum was very well looked after by the team during her post falls stay. They were all very friendly, helpful and available whenever needed. The care was exemplary and we were all very grateful that it meant she was well enough to return home again.

Thank you for your kind words. We're pleased to hear that your mum was so well cared for by our team during her stay. We'll share your lovely feedback with everyone.

During her time here she has been very well looked after by all the staff, nurses, carers, activities, cleaners, & management & the catering team who are very flexible in changing the menu items to suit mum's preferences.
The premises have undergone some major improvements both internal & external.The garden is always maintained in very good condition.
Social activities which family members (any age) can attend especially those in the garden ( fetes or bonfire evening) are always organised to a very high standard.
Have established a good rapport with the majority of staff & it is very nice & appreciated to be welcomed on first name terms.
Mum often says it's nice here & I don't think has had any reason complain.
Thank you so much for taking the time to complete this wonderful review. We are so thankful for your feedback and are looking forward to celebrating the big 100!

The staff were generally very polite and helpful to both my wife and I. Also I would like to thank the management for going out of their way to help and support me, particularly with regard to funding issues.
The room that my wife occupied was good in terms of space, a nice view (2 windows) and plenty of light. However, initially, there were problems in the room. The TV didn't work for a couple of days and there was a lack of furniture. However, these problems were sorted out by the Home fairly quickly.
The cleanliness in the bathroom was generally satisfactory.
With regard to food and drink, it was difficult to comment because my wife had been having problems with her appetite recently and that was also true in the hospital and when I was cooking for her at home. Anyway, I thought that the food looked good generally but I was particularly impressed by the way the staff tried to improvise with alternative possibilities.
Thank you so much for your review, we're pleased you and your wife had a good experience at Bridge House.

Kind, considerate, empathetic & patient; from nurses to heatlthcare assisstants, to receptionists & even the laundry man! Requests met with solutions & with a willing and gentle heart. The compassion was outstanding. Mum had dementia & cancer & COPD. Just gentle, kind, loving people.

No one could have done any more for Mum , from the manager, the friendliest receptionist you could ever meet the carers the dining staff they couldn't have been nicer.
Bridge Court is home from home and that's how they like you to treat your stay. Visitors are encouraged and I even took my dog in to see Mum because she missed him.
If there is ever another occasion that Mum needs respite care I would definitely choose Bridge Court.
I can't thank them enough.

Exceeded our expectations. Mum arrived at Bridge Court for some post-surgery rehabilitation, both of us feeling very nervous about what to expect. She left with confidence having received excellent physio support from the Therapies on Thames team. Beginning with the warmest of welcomes when she arrived, she enjoyed her stay whilst benefitting from the opportunity to fast-track her recovery. Every single member of the Bridge Court team - whatever their role - contributed to her feeling of being cared for and supporting her aim to get back on her feet as quickly as she could. Exceptional staff providing meticulous care with an individual experience - all with good humour and genuine care. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your review and kind words, Amanda. We're so pleased mum enjoyed her stay at Bridge House.
It has been a great relief to me to have a pleasant dwelling place and much help with the greater issues of my life.

All staff were faultless - kind, reassuring and Mum's stay achieved what was needed, to rebuild her strength, following recent illness. Food outstanding. Room very comfortable, although there were issues & the underfloor heating results in the room being too hot and then too cold.

The staff were really friendly, kind and patient. The food is excellent and varied and they are very flexible in the kitchen and will prepare an alternative if required. The nurses were really patient and kind and always looked after my mother with great attentiveness. The local GP came out each week and reviewed her and her drug programme which helped a lot.
There are plenty of staff around and there is always someone to talk to if you have any questions which is important. I had every confidence in the environment that was created in the home and I am glad that my mother was comfortable and happy in the home.

He had a history of stroke fifteen years ago which had left him with right leg weakness and additionally, unable to speak.
The staff and physio team at Bridge House Nursing Home quickly established respectful and caring communication with him and with excellent staffing levers (especially of physios), it only took four weeks to regain safe walking. Thank you to all involved.
