We were invited for Sunday lunch with RW. His normal table had been set for us, and the three of us enjoyed some family time. The care staff are so wonderful, they interact, are intuitive to RW's needs, and ensured we all had a pleasant few hours together. Bridgeway is a model care home focused on inclusion and family, nobody is taken for granted and every user is treated equally and with love and respect.
Thank you so much for such a beautiful review. It means a great deal to hear that you were able to enjoy such a special Sunday lunch together with RW, and that his usual table could become a place for you all to share some quality family time. At Bridgeway, we truly believe that family, inclusion,...
Bidgeway care home is the perfect care home in my opinion.
My brother in law moved to Bridgeway in September 2022 after spending 3 years in a home in Torquay where he was abused physically, mentally and financially. The staff at Bridgeway have been fantastic in building up my B-i-l's confidence and trust with their care and patience. My husband and I cannot believe how much he is enjoying the best life he can. He is now laughing and is part of the whole Bridgeway family which enables us to be able to take holidays etcetera with total peace of mind.
A recent CQC inspection has proved what we always knew......that Bridgway is genuinely OUTSTANDING!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a heartfelt review. It means an incredible amount to the whole Bridgeway team to hear how far your brother-in-law has come since joining us. Knowing that he has rebuilt his confidence and trust, is laughing, enjoying life and feels part of the...
My experience of the home is that it has an open door policy for relatives . Regular family meetings are held to keep relatives up to date with any changes or achievements within the home. Any issues are quickly resolved where possible and the residents needs are a priority.!
The kitchen and food hygiene is highly rated too. Residents have a wide and varied diet which helps their overall health and well being.
My nephew always appears clean and tidy and has a choice of what to wear.
We are always welcome as a family and feel part of Bridgeway
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful and heartfelt review of Bridgeway. It means a great deal to the whole team to hear how happy your nephew is and that he truly feels part of the Bridgeway family. We are particularly pleased to hear that he feels his views matter and...
In '22 the home was fortunate enough to gain an absolutely incredible manager. The care home under this management is always clean & bright, all staff are so welcoming, happy & helpful, nothing is too much trouble!
My little girl enjoys visiting with my brother & I, there is a real feel of community, everyone looks after each other. We are brought together regularly for amazing events in the care home such as monthly family bingo and spectacular parties throughout the year for residents, families & staff!
There is never anything they can't sort out, David goes above and beyond every time. We are so very grateful to David & the whole Bridgeway team for their hard work, commitment and care every single day.
I feel safe knowing my mum is here & I don't need to worry when I leave her.
Mum enjoys regular outings & says the food is the best! Two superb, talented chefs are to thank for that! Thank you all for everything you do!:)
Thank you so much for such a heartfelt and incredibly kind review. It is an absolute privilege to care for your mum, especially knowing she has been part of the Bridgeway family for over 10 years. Hearing that you feel safe and reassured when you leave her with us means more than we can say - that...
Bridgeway has now been rated Outstanding. Long overdue.
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and heartfelt review. It means the world to us to hear how much happier and more settled your son is after his previous experiences. Building trust, confidence and happiness is at the heart of everything we do, and we're so proud of the progress he has...
It's clear that the staff don't just see the residents as people they look after - they genuinely get to know them, understand their individual needs and treat them with dignity and respect.
The home has a lovely atmosphere, and the effort that goes into creating a caring and welcoming environment really shows. The sensory room is a fantastic addition and provides a wonderful space for residents to relax and enjoy some quiet time.
Knowing that our aunt is in a place where she is valued, cared for and surrounded by such dedicated staff gives our whole family great peace of mind. We are incredibly grateful to everyone at the home for everything they do, day in and day out.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. It means so much to the whole Bridgeway team to hear how happy you are with the care and support your aunt receives. Your kind words about our staff are especially appreciated, as they work incredibly hard every day to make...
Bridgeway is such an amazing caring company with a welcoming environment. I always feel really welcomed when I go to visit the lady i used to support at the home. The home always looks clean and the residents always look happy when I see them.
Thank you for your lovely review which I will share with the team. It is always lovely to welcome friends and families of our residents in to our home especially those who have previously cared for our residents as keeping those loving connections are so important. Regards, David Fletcher - Senior Registered Manager
The amount of effort that goes into creating a caring and secure home is obvious, both from the staff and management. The new sensory room is a fantastic example of this, providing residents with a peaceful and engaging space to enjoy.
Knowing my aunty is surrounded by people who genuinely care about her wellbeing gives our family great peace of mind. A huge thank you to everyone for the dedication and hard work you put in every day.
Thank you for your lovely review which i will share with the team. We are so happy that your auntie and her family are pleased with the care provided by our home. It is always nice for the team to see their efforts recognised. We appreciate you taking time to leave us a review. Regards, David Fletcher - Senior Registered Manager
There is no doubt that providing exemplary care 24 hours a day is not easy. Caring for young adults with a vast range of challenging behaviours is never going to be easy. The amazing thing is that the team at Bridgeway make it seem so so easy.
Over the last 35 years my brother has had the misfortune to have lived in several care homes. Some where the "care" was severely lacking and some ok. The best thing to come from those experiences is that I now definitely can tell which homes are bad, good and outstanding. As a result I can say without any hesitation that the care provided at Bridgeway is definitely outstanding.
My brother is having the best life possible to him. He is well cared for, safe, happy and content. All care homes claim to deliver "person centered care" the reality is the majority deliver "budget driven care". Bridgeway is the only care home i have seen that truly does this.
Thank you so much for this OUTSTANDING review! I can't wait to share it with our team. Thank you for being such a big supporter of our care homes. We can't do what we do without the incredible support of family members like yourself. We were delighted to be able to share our OUTSTADNING CQC rating with everyone. Kind regards, David Fletcher - Senior Registered Manager
We couldn't be happier with the care and support my aunty receives here. The staff are absolutely amazing - compassionate, patient and genuinely dedicated to making sure every resident feels safe, valued and cared for.
It's clear that there are tireless efforts behind the scenes to maintain a safe, welcoming and caring environment, and this really shines through. The sensory room is a fantastic addition and provides such a lovely, calming space for residents to enjoy.
A huge thank you to the whole team for everything you do. Your commitment, kindness and hard work make a real difference, and it's reassuring to know my aunty is in such caring hands

We have been extremely pleased with the care and support provided by the care home. The staff are kind, caring, compassionate and always treat residents with dignity, patience and respect. It is clear that they genuinely care about the people they look after and go above and beyond to make sure they are comfortable, happy and well cared for.
The staff are friendly and approachable, and they always make time to listen and offer reassurance when needed. The standard of care is excellent, and it gives us great peace of mind knowing our loved one is in such caring and capable hands.
We are very grateful to the whole team for everything they do. We would highly recommend this care home to anyone looking for a safe, caring and welcoming environment for their loved one.

My sister has resided at Holywell Bridgeway for some time now, and I genuinely cannot speak highly enough of the care and support she receives there. It is clear to our family that she is absolutely thriving in her environment, and it is wonderful to see how happy and settled she has become.

Visited Bridgway today. The atmosphere was very welcoming and inviting, there were many football themed decorations and trimmings all over the communal area, the staff had obviously gone to a lotbof effort to include all residents in the world cup football that is on at the moment. Our son looked very happy, eating well, staff were communicating very well with him, which can be difficult as he uses his own version of sign language, however his needs were being met to a high standard, and his weight has gone from borderline underweight to a healthy BMI bracket, all thanks to the healthy menu made available to our son. Fantastic staff, thank you for looking after R.
Thank you for your lovely review and placing trust in us to care for you son, a responsibility we take very seriously. We love seeing the people we support flourish and have a great quality of life. I look forward to sharing your review with the team. Kind regards, David - Senior Registered Manager.
The home thrives on energy, compassion, and dedication, with a diverse team that works tirelessly to provide truly individualised care. The progress made by residents is remarkable, particularly those who have come from challenging circumstances and have gone on to make significant advances in communication, independence, and community integration.
The home's fully equipped sensory room is a fantastic resource, and families are always included in discussions, developments, and decisions affecting their loved ones. Regular family and resident meetings provide transparency and celebrate achievements, including the home's Preston College Industry Placement of the Year Award. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a loving, safe, and supportive environment.
Thank you so much for your incredible review, it means a lot to us to hear we are getting things right. I look forward to sharing your review with our team. Regards, David
What an amazing place. I had no idea a care home could be like this. Truly caring staff who are genuinely engaged with all residents ensuring all individual needs are meet. Such a wonderful community and family atmosphere, a place where you have confidence that your child/relative is being treated with respect and care.
Thank you for your wonderful review. It is always great to hear we are getting things right. I will share your review with our team and look forward to continuing to provide an outstanding service to your family member. Regards, David Senior Registered Manager.

Bridgeway Care home really is something else. The atmosphere is warm, inclusive, and genuinely caring from the moment you walk in. The new sensory room is a fantastic addition-thoughtfully designed, calming, and engaging, it provides a safe space that truly enhances residents' wellbeing.
What really stands out is the staff. They are kind, patient, and dedicated, always going above and beyond to ensure residents feel valued, respected, and included. Care is clearly personalised, and there is a strong sense of community throughout the home.
Families are kept informed and involved, which brings real reassurance. Holywell Bridgeway isn't just a care home-it's a place where people are supported to live happily and comfortably. An outstanding team delivering exceptional care.
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. We are thrilled you like the new upgraded sensory room. This is something that was carefully planned out with resident and family involvement to ensure it was person centred to our service users. Thank you for highlighting the staff, i will ensure to share...
My mum moved into bridgeway in 2023, considering this was the last thing we ever wanted to do was put mum in a home it has turned out to be the best place for her, mum receives a high level of care, she is washed dressed and hoisted out of bed every day, showered or bathed twice a week whichever she would prefer, my mum couldn't speak when she first arrived at bridgeway, she couldn't eat or drink, now she is able to talk, she can also have liquids and yoghurts throughout the day, mums improved a lot since coming here and that's down to all the amazing staff that go above and beyond for their residents, mum enjoys karaoke Fridays, there is always so much going on for residents and their families, it's a friendly lively home that just has that feel to it, there isn't a single thing I can fault about it, there is something special about bridgeway care home and if I could recommend anywhere in the world for your families to be taken care of it would be here!!
Thank you so much for this truly touching review and for trusting us with your mums care. Your mum has come so far whilst she has been with us and has shown what a strong lady she is. The strength of your mum combined with the love and support she gets from all her family and friends and the top...
