My brother has been in bearwood for 4 years. It has been a difficult time with him settling but the staff have worked around him and dealt with his needs as much as he allows them too. I was always told by the manager it could take him a long time to adjust and accept his situation that i am no longer able to care for him and she was right. All staff have been so supportiuve to us both

From the day that my dad arrived at Bearwood road Nursing home, we was made very welcome. Raj, the manager is lovely, friendly and explained everything & made us feel comfortable with our dad moving in. Reena , the receptionist is very welcoming as we come in to see dad, caring & lovely. All of dads carers are really good, eveytime i ask them something for my dad, they are there. Natalie, the cleaning lady , takes time to speak with dad & keeps rooms very clean. Nurses are all amazing. Also, laundry woman. We never thought we'd see our dad in a Nursing home , I would like to thank everyone for making this comfortable for us all. Dads settled nicely xx Thank you ..highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful feedback. It truly means a great deal to us.

Mum has dementia and considerable physical challenges, and has been a resident at BNH since last August and has been very well looked after. We live over 300 miles away and have medical issues of our own so are unable to visit as often as we would like, but the staff have been brilliant in keeping us up to date with mum's situation and we are able to call and to use social media to talk to her. Raj in particular has been incredibly helpful to me in my dealings with the local authority and the NHS and DWP concerning mum's affairs. As a very small family, and given the geographical distances involved, we could not be happier with the care and support given to mum and indeed to us. Thank you all at BNH
From the very beginning, the staff were kind, respectful, and incredibly attentive. They treated my aunty with dignity, patience, and genuine compassion, always taking the time to understand her needs and ensure she was comfortable and well cared for. Nothing ever felt rushed, and we were always kept informed and reassured.
The nurses and carers showed a high level of professionalism alongside warmth and empathy, which gave us complete peace of mind as a family. It was clear that residents are not just cared for, but truly valued as individuals. The environment was clean, welcoming, and calm, and the atmosphere felt homely rather than clinical.
We are deeply grateful to the entire team at Bearwood Nursing Home for the exceptional care and support they provided. I would highly recommend this nursing home.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on our service. We truly value feedback from families, as it helps us to reflect on our practice and continue improving the service we provide.

My mother moved to care home in October 2025. She is well settled. Staff are very kind, helpful. They have got good sense of humour. They are hard working and always on their feet. They are very dedicated.

I visit my mother daily, and I always leave with peace of mind, knowing she is being cared for with the utmost dignity and respect. The management team are incredible - they always address any concerns with genuine care.
From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by the receptionist, who welcomes you with a warm smile and is always eager to assist. The dedication of all the staff is remarkable.
Bearwood goes above and beyond to create a vibrant and safe environment. Also, organize countless events/occasions to keep everyone engaged as one big family.

We are very happy with the care my brother receives. All staff are very friendly and respectful. I attended the end-of-summer party which the manager had organised and saw great teamwork and most of all, residents and family members having the most fantastic time. Well done everyone, loved the ice cream van, brought back lots of memories. Thank you.
Thank you for your time to complete a review for us. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the summer party.
My wife was in Bearwood Nursing Home for just over three years. Sadly, she passed away last October 2023. We were always satisfied with the care that my wife received while she was there and the staff were always polite, kind and helpful. Since then, I have continued to visit Bearwood Nursing Home every week to keep in touch with our friends (the residents and staff). They always make me very welcome. I still feel like one of the family. I visit both the lounges and sit and chat with anyone who wants to natter. It helps me as much as them.
Thank you for your time to complete a review for us, thanks for your kind words and happy to hear that you are happy with our service. We are glad to hear that you are enjoying visiting the service on a regular basis
I have found the nursing home to be very well-run with polite, friendly, supportive and helpful staff who treat the residents and their families with care and respect.
I am kept up to date regarding my sister's health and well-being and staff are happy to answer any questions I may have.
Daily social events are organised for residents and on occasions, during the year family and friends are invited to the home for a special afternoon of entertainment.
There is a regular residents' family meeting where we are kept up to date with news and upcoming events. This is rounded off with a question and answer session for family to air their views, which is an excellent way of involving family.
My sister is a vegan and says she enjoys the choice of food she has and it is always nice.
From my point of view, I couldn't wish for a better home for my sister to be a resident in and I highly recommend it.
Five stars all round.
Thank you for your valuable time to complete a review for us. We are glad to hear that you and your sister are happy with our service.

Meet the Team (1)

I have been working in care for the past 14 years at Bearwood Nursing Home, where I’ve gained valuable experience supporting residents with a wide range of needs. Over time, I’ve developed a strong understanding of person-centred care and have grown both professionally and personally, building my confidence, skills, and commitment to delivering high-quality care.
I was inspired to work in care because I wanted to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. I find it incredibly rewarding to support residents, ensure their comfort, and help maintain their dignity and independence. What I enjoy most is building relationships with residents and their families and knowing I can have a positive impact on their day.
My key strengths include strong communication, teamwork, and empathy. I have experience supporting residents with complex needs, building trusting relationships, and working closely with colleagues. I pride myself on being reliable, approachable, and always willing to support my team.
My approach is compassionate, respectful, and person-centred. I take the time to understand each resident’s individual needs and preferences so they feel valued and heard. I also focus on clear communication with families and creating a positive, supportive environment for my team.
I strongly believe in treating others with kindness and respect, both in and out of work. Outside of my role, I enjoy spending time with family and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. I’m also passionate about continuous learning and always look for ways to improve my skills and provide the best possible care.
