Bridge View Care Home is situated in Choppington village in Northumberland, close to the Northumbrian coastline and a short drive away from the Northumberland National Park.

It is located in the heart of the local community and is served well by bus services.

At Bridge View care home, there is caring staff, a homely and friendly atmosphere and high standards of cleanliness and care.

All these things, important as they are, are the very least you’d expect from them. But there’s so much more to Bridge View.

The central focus of everything done, day in and day out, is the general wellbeing of residents. To ensure that they remain physically and mentally active and that they are fulfilled, happy and feel cared for and loved.

Staff are always looking for innovative ways of doing things and have initiated a few ambitious and exciting projects.

Staff started a Listening Post café for all residents to meet on a daily basis, to talk and listen, laugh or cry.

Residents have started arranging to meet there and families also attend.

Staff initiated ‘My Day’. This involves two residents each day who are made to feel special by every member of staff on duty that day. Staff visit the residents to chat with them or to help them with whatever they wish to do.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This care home was fantastic, my mother was very well looked after and the staff were out of this world, they could not do more to help mother and were EXCELLENT at their jobs. The room was very clean and tidy, the food was very good, mother liked the Café in the mornings.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Very happy with the level of care our mother receives. She seems very happy and settled in quite quickly. All the staff are lovely with her, myself and my family have piece of mind her stopping there, her room is always kept clean and tidy and the staff always see that she has everything she needs.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.942)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.942) out of 10 for Bridge View is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.958 for Bridge View is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.958
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.984 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bridge View is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 61 registered maximum number of service users is 12.2. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.2 = 0.984
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
