My Dad has been in a lot of care homes as a respite service user. He was never looked after well. Since he came to Bearwood Nursing Home he received outstanding care. My dad is really happy in the care home. And we as a family see it as lovely and we are happy about it. staff always go the extra mile to do anything for you, there is always healthy food options during night and day. It is the best care home, we are so happy how well my dad came home from being in this care home. if I could give them 10 stars I would.

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.

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.
