I was contacted by management as my father in law was poorly and was in hospital if I wasn't contacted by them I wouldn't have known, they went above and beyond, as it's my mother in law who is a resident. Many thanks

Mum is well looked after. She still got plenty of character and personality, she can be as challenging as she can funny.
She likes the staff and the fuss they make with her.

Review from Steve T (Son of Resident) published on 25 June 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
As a family we are more than happy with the care our mum receives at Bryden House. All of the staff are thoughtful, professional and attentive, providing us with regular updates regarding mums care.
The food is of a good standard and the kitchen staff go the extra mile to make sure mum has the choice of dish she would prefer.
The internal decor is generally good although some rooms are looking a little tired. All areas of the building we see are always very clean and thats testament to the very busy staff.
I cant comment on any specific entertainment provided for the residents but I do see seasonal promotions in the building from time to time.

Review from Phil B (Nephew of Resident) published on 15 June 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
When we visit Bryden House, we always find my uncle to be well cared for. His room is clean and he is very well looked after.
We have noticed a positive change in his mental health since he has been at Bryden, he is markedly less confused and in much better spirits. When we visited my uncle recently, with a family member who himself used to manage a care home, he remarked on how clean Bryden House is kept and the positive change in my uncle's alertness.

My mother is a resident at Bryden House. The care she receives is good. The staff are friendly and helpful. I am happy in the knowledge that she is safe, dry, warm and fed. I would give 5 stars if there was access control on the door for visitors.

Overall Experience
My mum is receiving excellent care and support at Bryden House. The line of communication between Natalie the care home manager and us is excellent.
The staff have made my mum feel so welcome here and provide the highest standards of personal care. My mum's
special medical needs are well monitored and evaluated regularly.
All members of the team at Bryden create a friendly and family atmosphere, from
delicious cooked meals to friendly chats and attentive service.

Review from Carole P (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 February 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My dad moved in here in September 2024. I was a bit worried as he had lived with me, his daughter, for years before spending nine months in different hospitals. I need not have worried, as soon as Dad was met at the door, he said he was welcomed and taken to his room to settle in. I went the next day to see him and I was welcomed by every member of staff I came in contact with, they are so friendly. It has been five months to date and he has been very poorly for some of this time, the staff have been nothing but caring to him, they have kept his dignity at all times, they take the time to listen to his needs. I have been kept informed at all stages. The home has a welcoming atmosphere and all the staff are always at hand, even when they are very busy. The home could benefit from sprucing up a bit as decor is a little tired. I would recommend Bryden House to anyone for their loved ones.

Overall Experience
My husband was at Bryden House for respite in December 2021, as I was away for a period and could not see to him. My husband was well looked after. The staff were very friendly and caring. The food was good, catered to my husband’s requests. He looked forward to his chats with the activities person.

Mother was admitted mid-May and from the moment she arrived, she was made to feel welcome. The management couldn't do enough. The Deputy Manager has been a godsend fighting mom's corner and making sure she wasn't sent home too early.

Review from Alan I (Son of Resident) published on 19 January 2017 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother, who has mobility problems, stayed here for a 2 week period of respite and due to the poor standard of care, we removed her early from the home. She contracted a urine infection whilst she was there and it took six days to get medication. As a result of this, she needed to go to the toilet more frequently than usual. She repeatedly called for staff assistance but they were extremely slow to respond. One day she had to wait over an hour and a half to be taken to the toilet. When the staff arrived, she was told 'You are not a resident here!'
The food was of poor standard, unappealing with few vegetables, during one week fish and chips were served 3 times.
The home appeared to be understaffed and whilst some of the personnel were caring the majority seemed to be uninterested. The majority of patients were kept in their beds or rooms and we were told by one staff member they got them ready for bed at 4.30pm.

This lady was in Bryden cares for a respite period. The main visitor was her daughter. The son visited on 2 occasions (admission/discharge). Any issues raised with by the daughter were dealt with appropriately. On discharge, the daughter asked management to thank the staff for the support provided...

Review from Tim H (Son of Resident) published on 5 December 2016 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Mum was admitted to Bryden House for end of life care ,expecting to be there for a few days. She spent 9 happy months there. She was well looked after and the care she received was attentive and compassionate . Everyone of the staff was friendly and administered to her needs with dignity. Mum herself frequently told us how content she felt. We found the staff caring and knowledgeable . Nothing was too much trouble for them and no matter when we visited everyone was most welcoming.
