Every member of the staff at Bridge House go above and beyond to do their very best to look after both residents and their families with great care. It is the people who work so hard at Bridge house day in and day out that make Bridge House a special place.
Every day, the staff show real dedication, compassion and professionalism, and it's their hard work and commitment that make Bridge...
Staff are attentive and welcoming. The whole place is very clean and beautiful decorations. Each resident is treat with dignaty and their needs met. The rooms are lovely and Mum is free to move her personal belonging around her. Each member of staff seems to know what is important to her. Food is available all day if required and lots of activities to keep everyone busy. Mum says 'it's like living in a 5 star hotel'
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful feedback. We are truly delighted to hear that your mum feels comfortable, valued, and at home with us. It means a great deal to our whole team to know that our efforts to provide a welcoming environment, personalised care, and engaging activities are...
Whole family are really pleased with Mum's care. She is comfortable and well looked after. That is all we can ask for.
Thank you for your kind message. We are so pleased to hear that your mum is comfortable and that you feel happy with her care. It is a privilege to support her, and we will continue to ensure she remains safe, comfortable, and well looked after at all times always.
From the moment we stepped through the door, Bridge House felt homely and welcoming. The staff were friendly, kind and accommodating, and answered all my questions thoroughly. This was such a relief, as my dad had been through a very difficult time when his Alzheimer's suddenly worsened and he could no longer live independently. Given our circumstances, the team were very understanding and were happy to accommodate him quickly, which took a huge amount of pressure off us. After so much upheaval, I was worried my dad might feel unsettled or agitated, but he adjusted straight away and seems very happy. The premises are clearly designed with elderly people's needs in mind while still feeling modern, individual and thoughtfully decorated. The bar and cinema rooms are a great feature! Everyone I've met has been kind and professional, and admin processes have been straightforward and easy to follow. I'm very grateful for the care and support my dad and I have received.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your kind words. We're truly delighted to hear that your dad has settled in well and is feeling happy and comfortable at Bridge House. Our team takes great pride in creating a welcoming, homely atmosphere and in supporting each resident and their...
I have nothing but very positive thoughts and good reactions to everything I have encountered on this new chapter for my Mums care. The staff have been amazing and this is from the carers the hostess on Mums floor and the admin staff downstairs who are always extremely helpful. I also appreciate all the entertainment that is put on for the residents.
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback. We're truly delighted to hear that your mum's transition into this new chapter of her care has been such a positive experience. Our team - from the carers and hostesses to our admin staff - will be overjoyed to know their efforts have...

It means a great deal to the whole team to hear that you are very pleased with the care your husband receives. Supporting families, as well as residents, is very important to us, so it is especially kind of you to say that you feel cared for too. Having your husband with us for over two years is...
Also the cleanliness of the rooms and facilities, always clean, always smelling like it had just been spring cleaned.
My Mum had been in the same carehome a year before. She was transfered there from another care home and arrived not able to walk, some what messy and within a week or so she had been encouraged to walk and was being showered or washed each day, always with dignity and compassion. I cannot thank the staff enough, from managers, to carers, to cooks and cleaners for their hard work and dedication. You do not always get the appreciation from these somewhat confused residence but their families are full of gratitude for the work you do. Thank you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review of Bridge House and the care your Mum and Dad received. Your words mean a great deal to the whole team and will be shared with staff across all departments. It is wonderful to hear that your Dad felt well cared...
Staff are always happy and friendly. If we have any questions or queries nothing is too much trouble, which has made the process of getting my grandma situated at Bridge House a lot easier that we thought it would be. It's not been an easy transition for my grandma but it has been made a little less stressful by the wonderful facilities and care that all the staff members show.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback and for taking the time to share your experience. It means a great deal to everyone at Bridge House to know that the team has helped make a difficult transition a little easier for your grandma and your family. We know how emotional and uncertain it can...
So, when it became clear in March 2020 that Mum could no longer live at home on her own, we were so pleased that she was able to move into Bridge House
Whilst she has been at Bridge House, Mum has always been treated with kindness and respect by the wonderful, helpful and friendly staff - nothing is too much trouble for them.
The attention to detail at Bridge House is amazing, it looks and feels like a five star hotel, Mum's bedroom is always kept spotless and feels homely, with beautiful modern furnishings - however, it is the caring staff that makes this such a lovely place to stay.
We can visit at anytime and are always made very welcome
For Mums 90th the home organised a little party for Mum, and then with the help of Tracy, Chloe and other members of the team we had another get together that weekend in the "pub" for family members and friends which was very special - I would definitely recommend Bridge House
Thank you so much for your thoughtful message and for sharing your family's experience with us. It was a privilege to care for both your Dad and your Mum, and we're truly touched by your kind words about our team. Everyone here takes great pride in making Bridge House a welcoming, comforting home...
My mother went into the home in March 2020 and has received the very best care during her stay there. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff at the home and everyone really tries hard to make sure all the residents are well looked after. This even extended to holding a 90th birthday party for mum so we could all join her and celebrate the mile stone event.
I cant recommend Bride House enough they have been superb.
Thank you so much for your wonderful words and for taking the time to share your experience. Its been a real privilege caring for your mum over the past six years. Knowing that you and your family feel supported and happy with the care we provide means a lot to the whole team. The staff will be...
From the moment Mum arrived at Bridge House we knew as a family that this was the most amazing place for her to be. From the management team to every single member of staff they were so focused on Mum and her needs. As a family we are absolutely delighted and 100% satisfied with every aspect of Mums care. The staff re a massive asset to Bridge House, we would highly recommend to anyone who finds themselves in need of care for a loved one. Thankyou for everything so far.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It means the world to us to know that your mum feels comfortable and well cared for here at Bridge House. The team truly care about every resident and take great pride in making the home a happy, supportive place for everyone. We really appreciate your recommendation and will continue doing our very best for your mum.
The kindness and compassion that she has received whilst being cared for by the staff has been excellent.
I would recommend Bridge House to anyone who has to put their loved one in to care.
It has been a privilege to have cared for your mum over the past two years, and we are truly grateful for your kind words. The team will be touched to know their care and compassion made a difference. Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback.
My father couldn't cope on his own anymore even with carers help. I spoke with the management and they offered Dad an immediate room which was a big relief for myself and my brothers. Tok Dad a while to settle but now he feels very much part of the home. The staff have been so helpful to me and my Dad. Would recommend to anyone.
Thank you for sharing such heartfelt words. It's wonderful to hear that your dad has settled in and feels part of our home - that truly warms our hearts. We know how important this transition can be for both residents and their families, and we're so glad we could bring comfort and peace of mind to...
From the moment I stepped in to enquire about a room for Dad at Bridge House, I knew it was where I wanted him to be despite looking at other care homes and being nudged in other directions, it was the nearest thing to "home" as could be. The first member of staff I dealt with to the very last were welcoming, caring and always made time to answer any queries. Dad was as happy as could be in his last year of life, he never lost his sparkle in his eyes, Dad had a short stay in hospital before he passed away at Bridge House in very caring surroundings; Dad and family were treat in dignified manner
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such touching words about your experience with Bridge House. We feel honoured that you chose us to care for your dad and are truly humbled to know that you felt at home from the very first visit. It means a great deal to our team to hear that your dad...

My Mum has been at Bridge House Care Home for a month moving there following a stay in hospital after a fall, It was a big decision to move care homes but one that I am glad we have made. The time spent by the staff getting to know my Mum and understanding her needs has been amazing. There is a lovely atmosphere and genuine kindness. My Mum is enjoying the many activities. I feel very comfortable visiting and it is lovely to be able to sit in the communal areas with my Mum. It was my Mums birthday and we were able to visit as a family with her grand children and great grand children using the day room and the bar area making it a special occasion. The weekly coffee mornings are a good opportunity to have a chat and get to know the other relatives visiting residents. She has a lovely room and it is kept immaculate and clean. My Mum does not have the best appetite but is eating very well. Its a huge decision to have to move a relative into care but so grateful for Bridge House.
It's wonderful to know that your Mum settled in well, enjoying the activities, and making the most of our communal areas with you and your family. We always strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where our residents feel at home and their families feel at ease.We're especially pleased to...

Bridge House stood out especially with the modern building purposely built for a care home.
Fortunately there was a vacancy and we were able to bring several items from mums home to make her room feel homely.
The management and staff have been absolutely brilliant. They have not been able to do enough for my mother and have been very supportive to myself.
Mum gets involved in the entertainment programme and afternoon teas. Mums birthday was made especially specially by the team at Bridge House.
Thanks everyone for everything.
Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt experience. It's clear how much thought and care went into choosing the right place for your mum, and we're delighted that Bridge House has lived up to your expectations. We're especially pleased to hear that the team has been so supportive to both you...
My husband has been on floor 3 at Bridge House coming up to 2 years and is unable to walk due to his dementia. He is bedbound and is repositioned several times a day. The carers work hard and one so kind and understanding to his needs. His skin is very sensitive and easily breaks into sores. His room is spotless. His clothes and bedding go to the laundry and returned within 24hrs. His meals are plenty & solved by management quickly. I feel very comfortable leaving my husband in their hands when I go home each day.
