I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional care my mum received at Bridge House over the last 6 years. From day one, the staff demonstrated genuine kindess, compassion and professionalism. They took the time to understand her individual needs and ensured she felt comfortable and valued. The facility was always clean, warm and welcoming, with a homely atmosphere that put both mum and family at ease.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt message. It means a great deal to all of us at Bridge House to know that your mum felt comfortable, valued, and well cared for during her time with us.

Our family feel very comfortable with the care provided and being local gives us easy access and have always found the staff attentive to my mothers needs. And am immediately contacted if an issue arises. A lovely homely care home, we feel lucky to have Bridge House so near.
It's wonderful to hear that your family feels comfortable with the care provided at Bridge House and that the staff are attentive to your mother's needs. Having a care home that feels homely and is conveniently located nearby can make such a positive difference, not only for your mother but for your entire family. I will pass your lovely words on to the whole team.
As mum stayed for periods on every floor, due to changes in her needs because of her condition, I can say with hand on heart that everyone goes out of their way to make residents feel supported and comforted in an environment which really feels like family and a home away from home for them. Their kindness and compassion has no bounds - not only are they there for their residents, but also for their families and loved ones through good and also difficult times - you really are guardian angels.
Thank you for everything and can honestly say that I miss seeing you all and will continue to support you in any way I can x
I am deeply touched by your heartfelt message expressing gratitude for the care and support our team provided to your mother during her stay at Bridge House. It means a great deal to us that you felt our environment was like a "home away from home" for her, and that our staff's kindness and...
To have to move a loved one from hospice to a nursing home is frightening. But from the lovely receptionist, nurses and carers at Bridge House Care Home, we were looked after as a family. My sister, the patient, received all the medical attention she needed along with all the care and kindness. The staff are like one big family and work together to ensure patients are happy and go the extra mile to make sure all their needs are catered for. A great big thank you Bridge House for helping us through a traumatic time. We will always be grateful.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Bridge House Care Home. We are deeply touched by your kind words and truly appreciate how you've described our team's compassionate approach during such a challenging time for your family. Your testimonial means a great deal to us....
All the staff, from management down to carers and cleaners, were brilliant. Nothing was too much. Everything that Mum required in her final weeks of life was provided to make her feel comfortable and at ease. Communication was excellent, especially when it was said that she didn't have long to live, giving us the opportunity to be with her for her final breath. Spotlessly clean and more like a five-star hotel with first impressions putting us at ease meaning it was a pleasure to visit.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a heartwarming and detailed review about our care home. We are deeply touched by your words and truly appreciate how you recognised the dedication of our entire team - from management to carers and cleaning staff. Your feedback means a great deal...
Do not look anywhere else, the staff in Bridge House Care Home are sent from heaven. My mum's time in care could not have been better, not only did they care for my mum, they cared for every visitor she had. The facilities are wonderful.
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience. It means the world to hear how compassionate and caring the staff were, not just to your mother but to her entire family. I'm truly glad she found such a supportive and loving environment during her time at Bridge House Care Home. I will pass your kind words on to the team at Bridge House.
We feel very lucky that our mum was able to spend the last few months of her life in this nursing home and to receive the care, support and humour that the staff provided.
Huge thank you to everyone.
Thank you for taking the time to complete a review. I will pass on your kind words to the team. The team work hard to provide a person-centred approach. We are also pleased to hear that your family felt well supported and that their needs were met during this time. Thank you.
I attended a relatives meeting at the care home to listen and contribute, the meeting was very well put together making sure all relevant points were covered according to the agenda and also any issues that we had were answered and made note of, the meeting was attended by different staff from different departments so all questions where given a appropriate answer, all the information was put to us in a very professional manner making sure that we understood all the points.
Thank you so much for your review! We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts about the care home meeting. It means a lot to us to know that we're on the same page regarding the care and support of your loved ones. I will share your review and lovely comments with the team at Bridge House Care Home.
As sad as it is to know he has passed, you gave us the last day with him and supported us, as a family, up to his last breath, contacted the funeral director for us too, we will always remain grateful.
The home itself, all staff/carers, we will always remember your dedication and dignity to Dad. Thank you.
We truly appreciate your kind feedback regarding the care given to your dad. It was an honour to support your dad and family during his time with us and we are sorry for your loss. Our team is committed to providing compassionate care and your words mean a lot to us. I will share your kind and lovely words with the staff team at Bridge House Care Home.
The staff are all wonderful. They are very patient and look after all of the residents very well. She is taken into the shared dining room every day which is good because there is always something happening.
Very pleased she is at Bridge House.
Dad was on floor two and his family want to express thanks for the professionalism and care shown to dad by all the staff. While there were a few teething issues getting Dad settled, these were soon sorted. The whole family were grateful for the efforts made by the nursing staff in particular, to keep Dad out of hospital and make sure he was settled and happy. We are grateful that he was able to spend his final days at Bridge House being looked after by staff who knew him and cared for him. We are also grateful for the help and support given to the family during this time.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Bridge House.
Thank you for your kind words. Thank you for taking the time to leave us this fantastic review. Your kind words will be passed on to the team at Bridge House Care Home.
All round, great experience, would highly recommend this care home. Staff and management are brilliant. They really looked after my mother in her last year of life. Thanks for the care and help. We would use again.
Thank you for taken the time to complete a review. I will pass on your kind words to the team. The team work hard to provide a person-centred approach. We are also pleased to hear that your family felt well supported and impressed by the high-quality care we provide.
There were a few hiccups in the early days, which are to be expected, and were sorted quickly.
Dad's wellbeing and care was their priority, even though he could be very challenging at times, they knew how to handle him whilst still being respectful and understanding.
I know he was happy most of the time but unfortunately dementia played a big role in changing his personality and him as a person. However he still had his cheeky banter, joked and laughed with a few of the staff who understood him and laughed with him. Which made him a happy man.
Dad was looked after with dignity right up to his final days.
Thank you so much from us both.
Thank you for your lovely review. We will share this with all of the team and know that they will appreciate hearing such a great review. It was a pleasure to support your dad at Bridge House Care Home. The team work hard to be person-centered and ensure we deliver a high standard of care.
A safe and secure environment which has allowed my uncle to live without worry for our family.
Thank you for taken the time to complete a review. Feedback from relatives means so much to our team at Bridge House.
At the end, the level of care that she and my family received was second to none. They made the hardest days much better, getting us drinks and food and even laying a mattress down for us to sleep on so we could stay with her. For this I cannot thank them enough.
They stayed with her until the end and for this I will be eternally grateful.
Thank you for your lovely review. I will pass your comments on to the staff at Bridge House who will appreciate your kind words. All of our staff are committed to providing the best possible care experience for all of our residents and it is very rewarding to have their efforts recognised. It was...
And a Big thank you to the care staff who turned him every two hours day and night as per protocol never moaning about his challenging behaviour to me, they are so kind to my husband and myself.
The wound has now healed but still, the staff care for him so well making sure it doesn't break down again.
I am truly grateful for everything that they do.
All the staff are a credit to you, nursing staff, caregivers and hostesses, laundry ladies even the maintenance man everyone is amazing to my husband and myself thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to complete a review. I will share your kind words with the team at Bridge House. The team works hard to deliver a high standard of care and it's lovely to be able to pass feedback to them so they can see the difference they make. We value your input and we remain dedicated to delivering exceptional care and support to our residents.
We were met by a member of staff who made us all so welcome.
My mother-in-law has now been in the Bridge House Care Home since May and she loves it.
Everything, so far, has been five-star plus.
You must visit to get a great feel for the place and the staff.
Thank you for your lovely comments. I will share these with the team at Bridge House. We value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. Thank you.
Mum recently moved to Bridge House from another care home so we could be nearer to her. We were a little apprehensive as she was settled in her previous place. But a few weeks on, we are delighted with the move. When we visit Mum is up and dressed and she is sleeping so much better as she is more active throughout the day. It’s great to see her joining in the various activities. I actually didn’t recognise her in a recent photo as she looked so happy and was smiling and that is a testament to how well she is being looked after by the lovely, attentive staff. If you are considering care for your loved one then you really should consider Bridge House as it’s everything you could want for them.
Thank you for leaving such a kind and heartfelt review. We like to think of Bridge House as one big happy family, relatives, residents and staff included, play a part in making the Bridge House home from home. I will pass your kind words on to the staff team.
Dad had to leave his previous care home due to a deterioration in his condition. It was recommended that he access EMI Nursing care due to his challenging behaviour. Unaware of the difference between EMI Residential and EMI Nursing care, I approached Bridge House Care Home. Dad was assessed within 24 hours and accepted. His care was phenomenal during his short stay. Despite the best efforts of the team, Dad deteriorated and passed away within 3 weeks. The end-of-life care that Bridge House provided (and the local palliative care team) was exceptional. His passing was without pain and dignified. I will be forever grateful to Bridge House.
Thank you for your lovely review. It has been a pleasure to look after your dad in the time he was at Bridge House. Your comments are lovely to read and we will share this with the team. It is nice to hear back from families about their satisfaction and happiness with the care provided.
