I can't thank enough for the care and support Bridge View gave to my mam. She was treated as a family with loads of love & care. This home should be called a Love Home not ust a care home and I would like to say thankyou with all my heart.
Thank you for your wonderful 5-star review, your lovely feedback will be shared with all the team.
I feel no sense of worry when leaving mam as I know she is being taken care of fantastically well. I would recommend Bridge View to anyone.

My dad came into the Bridge View in July with dementia because he was too difficult to deal with at home. He has become slightly aggressive. The Bridge View dealt with him in a very caring and supportive way. He always was a very proud man, and the staff took this into consideration and respected his dignity and opinions at all times. My dad contracted a chest infection at the beginning of January and unfortunately struggled to recover from this, but the staff were there for him right until the end. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words and lovely review of Bridge View after the passing of your dad, your feedback will be passed to all the team.
I am so pleased we picked this care home for our mam. I think I am safe to speak for us all; we have no complaints at all about the care she has received. I would recommend this home to anyone. The residents are not just number, they are family, and they really do care and go above and beyond.
Thank you for your wonderful 5-star review of Bridge View and our team, your lovely feedback will be passed to all the team.
The care caring, compassionate, competent, kind, professional, understanding, patient and I chose the best place when mam needed more input on her dementia journey. I can't speak more highly of them.
I can not thank the staff at Bridge View enough for the care and support they have given over the last few months. My grandma sadly passed away yesterday but was treated with such dignity and respect throughout. Outstanding carers who genuinely care, approachable and compassionate management. They looked after her like they would their own family and I will be forever grateful. Thank you.
Our thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time and your kind words will be passed to all our team.
My mam was a resident here for ten months until her passing on November 14th 2024. The manager and his staff are, without doubt, the best ever. Dignity, respect and total love and care were displayed always toward Mam and us, as a family. Always supportive and kind. You are safe in the knowledge your loved one is respected. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you is not enough!
The care my mother recieved was excellent, they made her last few hours better than I could ever imagine, especially the care my mam recieved on her last day. The two young carers, the manager who went above and beyond their job role that day ensuring my mam was comfortable and pain-free and treating the family with care and empathy. Big thank you to the senior carer who got everything in place we asked for and the care she gave my mam, honestly can't thank you all enough for what you did.
Thank you for your kind words and lovely review of our team which will be passed to them all, our thoughts are with you and your family.
The carers have been just gorgeous. The carers give us and Dad the widest smiles and always have some good news; it is so good to hear that he's making connections and forging relationships with the staff. The nurses are extremely on the ball, keeping us up to date and contacting the doctor/dentist in a very timely manner if they are concerned.
Of course the warm, caring, professional ethos comes from the management and the manager demonstrates this on a daily basis. It is clear to see the value he puts into the care each resident receives and is readily available for a chat if there are issues or worries. He also values his staff and the home team spirit and warm ethos is everywhere.
Thank you for such a warm and wonderful review about our home and team. Your feedback and positive words will be sent to our Bridge View team who will be over the moon they have made a real difference to you and your family.
The staff at Bridge View were exceptional - every one of them. My mother has Alzheimer's and they were very good with her when she was feeling low and unsettled. The meals were always hot and the portion sizes were really good. The home itself was immaculate, no offensive smell when you go in either.
Thank you for your fantastic five-star review, your wonderful feedback will be passed on to all our team.
All of our family find all staff are great to the residents and families, they will do anything. The manager and admin staff are so helpful and easy to talk to. The activities are always on going and very clean home.
Thank you for your wonderful words and fantastic 5-star review, this will be passed to all our team.
Since Mum moved in permanently over a year ago with all the help and understanding. We now feel we can relax as she is well looked after and all her needs are met with 24-hour care.
Thank you for your lovely review and fantastic feedback - this will be passed to all our team.
Thank you.
This is wonderful! Your kind words and positive feedback will be passed to the team.
Following the move from a care home to a nursing home, my sister settled in really well. This is due to the excellent care and consideration from the excellent staff. They have been patient, kind and understanding at some difficult times. I cannot commend them enough.
Thank you for your lovely review and positive feedback, this will be passed to our Bridge View team.
My husband was in a couple of care homes before. We were not happy with the care and safety, walking to find him in a poor standard. He had to go into hospital. Finding Bridge View was amazing. The care is wonderful. My husband is happy, clean, and very comfortable. He was unable to eat but the manager has sorted it so that his food is pureed. I know I can leave him safe in the hands of the wonderful staff.
Thank you for your lovely review. Your praise of both the home and manager is much appreciated and will be passed to the team.
Following a stroke and progressive dementia, my father is needing 24hour nursing care. After a previous bad experience in another home, you can imagine the stress and apprehension we felt, ensuring the next home was right for his needs. We need not have worried. Our initial viewing at Bridge View, gave us a very positive first impression. The lady who showed us around was extremely warm and caring and indeed all the staff were extremely friendly and a very good first impression from everyone. Every question was answered. We viewed dad's potential room, which was on the nursing side. It was newly decorated with ensuite, a nice size with a lovely view of the Dene. Dad moved in that week and many weeks later we are still seeing good practice. We visit daily at varying times and we have witnessed lots of genuine, caring, lovely staff. Dad is the most special person to us and choosing the right place for your loved one is daunting. All I can say is, Bridge View, has been good for Dad and for us.
Thank you for your lovely review and kind words. I will certainly pass your wonderful feedback on to the team at Bridge View.
